Kendrick Lamar will kill your favorite rapper for money

oops didn't mean to submit that, might as well finish the thought

"... it generated another terrible avenue of conversation, so at this point I think we should all take a step back, let the dust settle, and come back after we've played 'Cartoon and Cereal' a few times"

tyvm for your post alex! the majority seem to be against this conversation continuing, but i would like it known that, first, the canadian thing was a joke: i am fully aware that racism runs rampant here in canada (idle no more!); and second, i have no desire or urge to use the n word, or any ambition of obtaining a pass like those dudes in miami: the word is archaic. even if it achieved planet-wide desensitization, there are more accurate terms, so in the future utopia we are all working towards it would not be in common parlance because, devoid of offense, the word has no inherent meaning.

my problem is that there seems to be a cultural discrepancy! how can racial segregation be used as a means to end racism? isn't that hypocritical? i love hiphop: it is a totally different world that, without the music, i would never have any insight into. but they are making art in a way that precludes me from ever grokking it. you can say it's not for me, i am not the demographic & so it is moot whether or not i grok it, and this is true, but these dudes are POP artists and as such have a social responsibility ok imo.

ugh i am starting to see in hazy outline where i am going wrong but i g2g so i will post this anyway & say fu to the haters.

part of the problem with the position are arguing from is that it causes you to say things like you wouldn't use the n-word because "there are more accurate terms" without seeming to explore the full ramifications of that statement

I only mean if you are going to refer to people by their race it is more accurate to say African, African American, African Canadian, etc.

are you like super dense or trolling?

okay, wait i maybe could have phrased that better

haha damn

forksclovemomus

now I'm just waiting for someone to bring up some other issue/ramification and then say "but that's a monkey for a different porch"

i am starting to see in hazy outline where i am going wrong

almost like a spook in the dark?

teenage k-dot's first mixtape from 2004 is a pretty entertaining curio, at least for a few minutes: http://fashionably-early.com/2013/04/14/kendrick-lamar-hub-city-threat-minor-of-the-year-mixtape/

dude used to really jock jay-z flows! had been kinda thinking how the "vibe" remix was funny because he's so much less indebted to jay now than almost any other young rapper.

that link is hella dead now

Almost as dead as saying "hella"

sick burn dude

otm

forklemore doesn't live in cali tho

trinidude james zinging the whole joint up today

Sorry if this was discussed, but are the voice messages from mom and pops real on this album? I think they add a ton to the storyline/theme of the album, obviously. Pardon my ignorance.

dunno but dominos is extremely real

I ain't trippin' about them dominoes no more.
