Kendrick Lamar "Do Your Thing Iggy Azalea, Keep Rocking It,God Wants You Here"

[hiphop12345]

When you say things like:

"Black people don't have respect for themselves so how can they expect to be treated better"

You're in essence saying that Black people deserve to be treated badly

Which ironically shows a lack of respect for Black people. Projection.

Basically. You can promote better conduct within a society without excusing people keeping you in a caste system.

Dot a positive dude.. You never really hear him shitting on anybody (unless they piss him off before a cypher lol).. Plus other than awards she really isn't threatening anything.. This "sky is falling" act niggaz are putting on is a bit much.. Now niggaz care about the AMA's? Now the Grammy's are summer madness? Who cares?.. Insert Craig mack bar and dance for Iggy..

Niggas only care about the Grammys here when their favorite artists lose.. The AMA's shit is new though. I never gave a fuck about an AMA as a fan. "Grammys don't validate Hip-Hop has been said several times. I Think the bigger issue with all of this is she's being forced down our throats and not iggy herself, even if she only wants to reap the benefits of being a "rapper"

This why I been said Fuck Kendrick Lamar and TDE. This is supposed to be the "King"? This the shit COMPTON niggas on now? How can this bitch ass nigga talk about respecting ourselves when he got 2 label mates who glorify gangbanging and black gangs killing each other (while letting mexican gangs takeover). Fuck TDE from top to bottom. SZA supposed to be a 5 pretender fake bitch fake freckles. Ab Soul is garbage and one of them new black niggas who dont see color. Action Bronson is a fat crag who is a living version of Shark Biters skit.

He's one of those faux-intelligent cats. Just because someone doesn't rap like Waka doesn't make them smart.

I remember during that Control fiasco someone on here said that Kendrick was a kind of smart dumb cat, talking about how he is a hero being forced on us, that he is a non-threatening "smart" Black man and people say he is making smart rap cool again as if we haven't been listening to smart things all along and as if Kendrick is even some super intellectual. Now Kendrick is here telling a White magazine that Black people don't have self-respect. I gave that poster in the Control thread a G.O.A.T. and now I wanna go find that post again to unclick and reclick that reaction.

Well, it's not Compton, Massachusetts.

There is a bridge of reality between what Banks and K Dot are saying. If and when we begin to understand that we are more than what the system makes us, that they actually need us more than we need them... then we'll realize that not only they actually do owe us, but we can take what they owe. The problem is, we been in the system so long we'd rather see the enemy lose than our brother win, and are willing to cut down anyone that speaks positively of the situation, as misguided it may be.

 

[onthafly]

God don't control hip hop nigga. Rich white men do. Stop equatin rich white men to God.

 

[BangEm_Bart]

He's a cool dude. I give him much more respect. Iggy still sucks though but that's not an opinion that needs to be stated.

 

[blacktux]

Was it "a lack of self-respect" when Jim Crow was the law of the land?

Was it "a lack of self-respect" when we were kidnapped and in chains?

So Blacks were getting oppressed,enslaved,slaughtered because "they didn't respect themselves?"

If it wasn't the case back then, then on what day did it shift from them just being exploitative oppressors to us being deserving of our oppression because of our own behavior?

So this whole time WE'VE been our own problem? Come on bra...

When you say things like that it's like you justifying the shit.

1)Blacks traded other blacks off way before those boys from portugal came down and set up shop. The slaves that refused to be broken and enslaved killed themselves or jumped ship, the ones that became slaves were weak enough to become slaves. Even during slavery there were slaves that stood up and got killed because they REFUSED to be slaves.

Why was there a need to go all the way to africa to find slaves when there were millions of people already in america when the spanish came? hmmmmmm....

2)The law of the land changed because black people had respect enough to stand up and get it changed.

1) "Black" wasn't a concept until western Europeans invented it as a means of justifying slavery. West Africans didn't look at other tribes and kingdoms as "their people"

They went to Africa to find slaves because the Native Americans were being wiped out because of disease that the Europeans brought with them(as much as 90% of the native population was wiped out within 100 years). Native Americans that survived were enslaved too...Native Americans sold out other Native Americans as well. Again what you're arguing sounds like justification.

2) So that respect appeared out of thin air and then vanished out of thin air? That respect wasn't there when the laws were being written? I don't understand this argument.

If you say "Black people don't respect themselves" then you're being irresponsible when you don't also pose the question: "Why don't Black people respect themselves?"

What's the history behind that?

What were contributing factors?

What psychological damage was caused and what caused it?

Do these factors still persist today?

Let's not act like it's all or even mostly internal. It's ALOT external.

1)"black" was always a concept, there were always black people and they historically hardly ever got along with the lighter shade of people. The word nigger is a backwoods watermouth spin in negro which is spanish for black, the spanish were the first to partake in the slave trade by way of portugal.

Native americans were wiped out because they refuse to be slaves, just like the millions of blacks that died warring with slave traders, that died in the camps waiting for the ships, and rebelled/jumped ship rather than be a slave.

2)Jim crow laws all but disintegrated due to the NAACP and other progressive black parties battling them down one by one.

Its mostly external yes, im well aware of the history that causes the lingering effects on the community.

But what now?

Most of yall here don't want to take into account the damage that "trap" and "gangsta" music you listen to is doing to the community song by song beat by beat. Young dudes out here dying to be the same "niggas" in the song that the song is talking about killing.

Well, it's not Compton, Massachusetts.

Compton niggas used to tear up and burn down shit especially when it came to injustice/disrespect from white folks. Compton niggas were holding down the front line during the 92 riots. So fucking sad to see niggas from this area turn into clowns over this (YG too). His God comment is insensitive, cowardly and dumb. So God wants iggy to fuck our culture up but he dont have a say about unarmed blacks getting killed? Kendrick God is white I bet

 

[DarcSkies]

...one more comment & I'm done

When Macklemore has taken a stronger stand in support of black people in the fight against racism than your black ass who is more at risk of falling victim to it there is a fucking problem.

I'll be bootlegging this nigga from now on. Aint gone lie and say I wont bump his shit though He might have revealed himself to be a coon but that nigga can spit *shrug*

 

[rapmusic]

One day people are going to stop talking and you'll still be mad

 

[Breezy_Kilroy]

Jimmy been in this nigga ear.

Nah what you are saying is a person should be treated how they treat themselves.

 

[blacktux]

If only MLK had self respect...

If only....

 

[Meta_Conscious]

Violence is down and more blacks than ever are going to college, yet we don't respect ourselves enough to demand fair treatment. Hilarious.

 

[T. Sanford]

I wasn't going to buy his album anyway. I never really got the hype of his music, I mean he is good but I think people boosted him up too much

The only thing I liked about Control was he bodied Big Sean on his own song

 

[BangEm_Bart]

Once again...how is he a coon by not disrespecting Iggy falsalea?

That's his opinion, he hasn't said anything coonish at all. His music is more positive than most of these dudes out now. He is the definition of real hip hop.
