@@mcclendonreport of course it could, however it seemed necessary to reiterate. Too many times in the history of so-called African Americans we are found waiting/depending on saviors to fix our issues. I do not want Kendrick Lamar or any other artist to carry that burden. I want them to be artists. The community needs artists.
Colonizer!!!! That’s it. This one word sums it up for me. Our cultural, history, suffering, and experiences is summed up in that word. Everyone has taken advantage of our suffering, success, and survival mentality. Peace and Black love be with this young man’s words!
I think Drake is a culture vulture, that being said "the culture" is evolving or devolving. As great as the concert was, it'll just give money to men who will forward it to communities that are not their own. Be it Kendrick, Dr. Dre, Nipsy, Kobe, they will all produce descendants that resemble the grandchildren of Sidney, Harry, and Quincy.
@@KarenHunterShow I heard you say that you aren't much of a fan of Kendrick or current radio artists, you should definitely listen to Mr Morale and The Big Steppers. Let that be your gateway into listening to him, you may want to go back to the beginning afterwards in order to follow the artistic and introspective journey.
I like to believe in all honesty this is possible of him, but Malcolm X said something very significant about celebrities as our leaders. But there's always a possibility.
Hmmmm. I don’t know. What I DO know is K Dot had Filipinos at his concert saying Drake can’t say the N word…and they didn’t actually say N word. They said the actual word. BEWARE THE ENTERTAINER
Its the fact that you know the others have been profitting off of what we created and the will turn arou s and disrespect the creators and come in and will try to do what they wabt with our culture. They not like us. Periodt.
LeBron would gave had no business on that stage. He's a buddy of Drake. Savannah told him right. All he do is play for the Lakers...this was a LA, cali born and breed thing.
I agree that we may be awakened and recognize our bonds due to trauma. But oh no, those bonds are not forged in trauma. That deep humanity and our deep african-ness, ARE the bonds. This is why there are those among us who sadly can reject it. Because they want to bond with their oppressors, and consciously reject their own cutural history, even their own DNA, skin, hair, etc. And that as well as do to trauma, though they may never acknowledge or even see that.
It’s that thing. Unable to describe it when Black people come together and have fun. Our ancestors are PROUD and rejoicing when this display of Black Excellence is shown. Black representation at its best. This beauty you’re describing is why we can’t allow picking side when one of us publicly violates another of us. We must denounce Black violence over words! 🧡🩷
@@tanzoniaflakes5068 I think you are wrong. I am in my 64 and I do not follow either. I know that there are many like me both young and old. Many of us, have lives filled with the search for our own truths to be consumed by the petty squabbles of two wealty men. They are like Trump consumed with themselves.
@chuckjohnson4700 well sir maybe "you" didn't hear the call. And that's OK. But a song can be a unifier. Like the church folks say, " its a word". And those words quickened in me. He expressed in song what my feelings didn't have the language to bring forth. And based on the responses he's gotten, I think others feel the same. But it's OK if it didn't resonate with you. Many didn't relate to MLK or Lincoln. Shoot, many didn't relate to Jesus according to the Bible. But look at how people respond to their words now.
Don’t worry, he won’t do that. He’s in another dimension. Light years beyond the 3D malaise. But in the unlikely chance he slips into the Trump ruse, he will have a reason so cogent and spiritual it would at least warrant deeper contemplation on all of our parts.
Kendrick Lamar looks to the Most High Yah to save us, not a man because man's heart is wicked. The Most High told us to come out of her so we would not suffer his wrath. Our father doesn't care about Voting he wants us to praise him that's it and that's all.
ua-cam.com/video/WRLReQpJFmM/v-deo.htmlsi=TIp0BcTNlvSmPcP- the track from 0:30 not mentioned enough is that Not like Us samples a cover of the classic Ray Charles song. I Believe to My😢 Soul . Mustard sped it up and looped it. Im looking forward to the hbcu versions soon to come this fall
Absolutely Not Euphoria is my favorite Record out of all of K Dots diss tracks . I think it went over a lot people’s heads kuz most people want a Bop and don’t want to listen to lyrics.
I like everyone of the dis, but I love the prayer and call to battle that Euphoria represents. It reminds me of the prayers and forgiveness, for the blood they are about to spill, that warriors say to God/the father/ supreme being/ Allah/ etc.
1000 percent. A confluence of Black community and culture was/is celebrated and we need this momentum to continue alongside meaningful education. What a time to be alive and be Black in all its multidimensional beauty and perseverance. 🌳
This is much bigger than uniting gang members in LA. This is about black unity. Real black. It’s delineating from people who look like us, but don’t like us. Kendrick fully embraced that “rapping for the slaves” line that Drake dropped. We’re waking up out here 💪🏽
The crazy thing about this whole space we’re in rn with Dot is, he’s been dropping Blackness, Black History, Black Pride, Empowerment, etc for 15 yrs!! Ironically he had to dumb it down for us to FINALLY get it 🤔but ok. Better late than never I guess.
If Nothing Else is Obvious its this WE ARE THE ORIGINALS...THE KEY MAKERS N HOLDERS ....WE SET THE VIBE....WE R THE CURRENCY....HONOR URSELF & ELIMINATE DA CULTURE VULTURES FRUM YO LIFE... HE PUT ERRYTHING ON DA LINE 4 US...WUT U GONE DO 4 U
Karen They Not Like Us just hit me to the core. I don't listen to rap music but this song hit my soul. Thank you Karen for bring this to the forefront.
@@richardjohnson3638he doesn’t have to solve it All, sometimes you need 1 person to take a step for other to see that it’s possible and be brave enough to follow. We win together but lose when we place ALL our Hope in 1 person!
black Americans who descend from the American Chattel Slave are a special group. Our black is not like anyone else’s the beautiful created from our black transcends to every place in the world and everyone must adopt it because it’s a special kind but there is only one us. It is my prayer that we must all first have a (Family Reunion) and truly love ourselves and how far the blood of our ancestors has carried our bloodlines in this country as Americans. Despite the trials and tribulations covered in the blood of Jesus we gone be alright. The sacrifice, the cry for true freedom and justice and most importantly the fight of our people, the gifts of our people, the legacy, the love, the culture created, the intelligence, it all let’s us know we are one of a kind and it’s okay to be proud of who we are first and foremost. As a black American that’s what Kendrick’s songs awakened in me a deeper love for our survival within our truth and the history of our people that belongs to no one but us.
Even if the unity only last temporarily it's a feat. Unlikely to unite every gang forever bc it doesn't change the conditions and surroundings ppl are in but love seeing everybody come together.
I see Kendrick as creating a shift that transcends Drake. Drake is the catalyst…it started as a rap battle. But It became something greater when he got all of the gangs on stage and created a scene of joy among all of those black men. And sometimes when the soul gets touched, it just knows that it got touched. That’s how I see KL…something in his actions has touched souls and created a healing that transcends lyrics and battles. It’s just his time.
That was a nice Jazz song by Monk Higgins that DJ Mustard laid that beat from on they not like us,We know Kendrick has always been a Jazz fan. A lot of his beats come from classic Jazz songs.
Most rap music is in a minor key, mostly pentatonic and creates a somber feeling. The key is a lighter key which creates a happier feeling. If he planned this it was perfectly executed because he playin with our emotions.
But what up next will Kendrick and Drake tell folks who they should vote for ? damn I wish we could get our priorities in order this was just another Popeyes chicken sandwich moment not a movement because the older people who actually vote wouldn't know Kendrick or Drake if they were at Thanksgiving dinner, we now have 50 year olds pushing this rap this organized static which has to bleep out every other word and you still singing we will overcome .
I remember the unity after the Rodney King verdict. And before that the West Coast All Stars stop the violence movement. Let's just allow these things to manifest and hopefully turn into something of true worth and substance before jumping the gun. Experience is a good teacher.
No ma'am, Westbrook and DeRoze are Compton guys and from that culture. The same culture Drake disrespected by saying YG banging and Dot ain't from that. They may rock with Bron, but sometimes we gotta learn to appreciate not always assimilate.
The people in that stage are from LA, Compton, Inglewood, and Watts Lebron did not belong because of that alone. Not that he has more to lose that the other ball players up there
Fresh off surviving her country music offering, Beyonce is gonna parachute straight into the middle of Korea town in LA so she can drop some KPOP. I know that's fever dream type stuff but since we're in the middle of this journey, why can't AI give us the reality we keep asking for. Why can't humanity have nice things, lol?
@@KarenHunterShow I have been arguing for years about generational decline - these younger generations have no idea about democracy and political issues. They simply are lacking of knowledge and believe Trump is a reality hero who can walk around free with 34 convictions. They see the Trump Criminal Cartel as heroes! Little do they know that their black asses will suffer greatly if Trump wins!
Lebron shouldn’t be up there because 1) he’s not a member, if you don’t know I’m letting you know (2 he’s not from the coat or the city of L.A. or L.A. county. What you saw was the unity of different sets that don’t like each other that war with each other for over 40 years come together for the coast. That’s huge for all of us that consider ourselves gang members from Southern California. BLOODS, CRIPS, PIRU’s and HOOVERS. One west 🫡🫡
@@KarenHunterShow what it means is. Bron isn’t a gang member. What you saw was unity and peace between all gangs from the city. That’s what that means for that moment. That’s why if you there or saw the performance Kendrick said, this a beautiful thing see all of us come together for the west coast. That’s why he was getting emotional. Because he knew what he did for the coast in that moment in time.
Disappointed that Karen would side eye is Pulitzer. To know that someone from his background, his upbringing, his association, his representation, his kind of expression, his education his life could craft words so wonderful that even that group of people could not deny that brilliance… definitely moves the culture in as much as words can move an art form forward.
Nope…they just want a piece of his spotlight right now. I Jim Brown was really in theses streets couldn’t get these LA dudes to unite KL definitely can’t. It’s a song people that’s it.
We'll see. Maybe Kendrick can reach some people. I feel like something is happening but I'm not sure if it'll penetrate throughout the entire black community. But something is happening.
I’m in Chicago and felt that energy, it was beautiful!
I've been following Kendrick since 2016, This beef has been eye-opening and soul touching, not just in California but in Texas, too. This is what we needed, all generations
I pray that this energy will continue 🙏 ❤.
No… no… the brother is an artist and true artistry can be uplifting. Kendrick is just showing how devoid American society is of actual art.

I think Drake is a culture vulture, that being said "the culture" is evolving or devolving. As great as the concert was, it'll just give money to men who will forward it to communities that are not their own. Be it Kendrick, Dr. Dre, Nipsy, Kobe, they will all produce descendants that resemble the grandchildren of Sidney, Harry, and Quincy.
