So....kendrick is aligning himself with gods people...Israelites?
He thinks minorities are cursed because they have drifted away from gods original plans for his people?

So like is he telling people to stop sinning and start acting right? And if they do they won't be cursed?

I am an atheist...so honestly none of this "matters" to me. I just kind of want to understand what the rhetoric is that kendrick is trying to get across here.

I think it's bigger then that. Hip Hop is a messianic energy. It's the one arena where a black man can be himself and not have to worry about being politically correct. Every generation has a platform where the message can get out to the people and for this one its hip hop. Furthermore, the powers to be are aware of this. It's the reason why there is an intentional effort to put out a product that is dumbed down. They're aware of what music and the word can do for people.

Indeed brother. It's the only art form I know that requires someone to be a master of all the liberal arts in action. You have professors at Harvard who teach poetry that would stumble on the mic.

Don't let the title throw you off, one of the most insightful and honest presentations I've seen on the culture.

#Facts. Something I've been looking into recently is the effort to make R&B a "young man's" sport. If you notice the average age for R&B artist has gotten younger since its inception. Albeit a lot of them were child stars, they were still relevant as men. We had Marvin Gays's, Donnie Hathaways, Al Greens etc. When you look around now all you see is the Chris Browns, The Weeknd's, The Trey Songz. While I enjoy their music like the next man, I'm aware that their music is created from a boy's psychology, and therefore their perspective on love and woman will be from a boy's place. It's gotten to the point now where you have 40 year old men still pursuing love like a teenager. I think it started with advertising of the teen boy bands like New Edition, Bell Div Divoe.

I'm rambling, but the ultimate point I'd like to make is until we regain the authority over our music and set the metrics for what's popping someone else's agenda will be hidden behind the facade of having a good time.

To make it revelant to this thread, I think Kendrick is an artist that's consistently set forth a narrative that makes you look and think about why things are the way they are. I don't agree with all his perspectives but it's refreshing to see a mainstream artist generate the conversation.

Repped.

Whole video is great but 16:06...

[Video]

I've posted this video on here I don't even know how many times. Every time theres dudes saying "it's too long can I get cliffs" but I know some of yall will watch it and take it in.

On the Kendrick Israelite thing, from the jump I've thought his goal was to get us to research and learn our history but a lot of people are just taking the Israelite label and wearing it like they understand the implications. Also I think Aboriginal is a better term for who we are...[/Video]

I am glad to see that some NTers are getting older an/or maturing and taking the process seriously.

Just watched it. Thanks for sharing. I was expecting the video to be mad long based on your post lol

Scarface had the realest segment in my opinion. A lot of people don't understand how deep the Jewish agenda is invested into Hip Hop, and really entertainment in general. (I'll go on a limb and say the entire basis of our society is constructed around keeping the black man from knowing who he really is)The Jews grafted a fictional narrative about who they are through the experiment of Hollywood. You can't even bring up the holocaust potentially not happening the way it was portrayed without being called an anti-semite. The PSY-OPS behind the word conspiracy got a lot of people looking the other way despite the things blatantly in their face. You see the white rapper agenda getting pushed more by the day. Cats like Lil Dic-k-y getting a heavy push under the guise of a comedic factor. Mike Stud got a show on Esquire. G-Eazy trying to be Drake lite. Eminem opened the door for a lot of this foolish going on.

-That dude Steve Hill had me

with the disrespect

-Pusha T looking like he was ready to end the interview on the spot and get back to the block to move a kilo

-I think they killed ODB. I got a chance to speak to GZA at an event and he was saying when they first started rhyming ODB was the most conscious/lyrical out of their initial group (ODB/RZA/GZA) and he didnt switch up his style to later on, but he was still the same dude beneath the bravado. When I asked him about the death he said he wasn't comfortable going into it with the current crowd.

There's a lot of similarities. I was listening to something the other day where they were saying the only reason "they're" building him up like this is to tear him down. Not far fetched considering how often you've seen the narrative play itself out. Shot out to Mr. West
