    I am 47 years old and have been an admirer and supporter of Kendrick’s art since his Good Kid mAAd city album. This beef, however, made me a bonified fan. I’m going back to purchase all of the albums and features I missed.
    Kendrick is tapped in to our musical past and often pulls on classic soul and R&B and jazz as the foundation for many of his songs.
    He has intimate knowledge of the hood’s worst realities, and he talks about them without glorifying them. His art is always pointing toward overcoming and challenging yourself to reach new heights.
    Most recently, his work has focused on growth through internal work, reflection, therapy, and interrupting our toxic patterns.
    All of this was present in the beef with Drake. Kendrick out-penned, “out-artistried,” out-cultured, out-taught, and out-strategized his opponent. There was no contest.
    He stood up for Black family and collective healing. He defended women and Black women, in particular. He called out rampant sexual abuse in the industry and beyond.
    He also blazed a stark line between the industry and the culture. He helped his fans to see that what they may have been fooled into thinking was Black culture is actually just racist stereotyping and mass-dissemination of the most nihilistic and lethal aspects of the poor and poorly educated Black experience.
    For folks who have been deceived by the relentless beats, catchy bars, and cool videos, this was a moment of much-needed clarity for them.
    The Pop Out was a culmination of the thesis he had presented during the beef. It was about defending home, standing up to popular bullies and calling out shallow impostors, seeing “enemies” as fam and neighbors, and being happy for and with each other.
    Some folks won’t see it. It’s cool. This moment was awesome for those of us who do.

My my sons are huge fans of the genre, I always thought they were listening to cuss music. I actually started listening to Kendricks music and he is a talent and a half. A talent from a different dimension. God ordained if you believe in a higher power. I can't stop listening. I have to keep going back to fully understand the meaning of some of the lyrics. The concert was monumental.

    I grew up listening to music created by talented artistes who understood themselves and their culture. Artistes who sang about love and relationships and enjoying life. Artistes who when they sang, either the hairs on your neck stood up or you just had to dance. Artistes who were not pandering to mainstream tastes. It is no coincidence that the music that has become mainstream is the music which for the most part disrespects our past and present. Music that would embarrass the ancestors.

    I get so emotional, it was beautiful. I saw it live and I felt like I was there. I also think it says a lot… because in many ways our culture, the industry has been co-op’d… taken over. Where these record label owns the masters of the greats all the way back before Cadillac record (hello Etta James and so many more). Where they personal were monetarily taken advantage of… and in many ways the battle and concert… how Kendrick moves through the industry is a protest to that. Like Drake… imitates our culture and he is inauthentic… when he speaks about our culture in other clips that have surfaced… it is as if he didn’t like it, don’t respect, but profiteers off of it without awareness to his debauchery. So Ms. Karen… I think you would appreciate more of what went down and this beef as you uncover the other side of this and why there is a disdain for Drake and what Kendrick is saying in all his moves. The comment in drakes “response” to euphoria and 6:16… he calls all African Americans SLAVES… that was infuriating. But because Drake is clueless about our culture and past, he thought that line was okay. In “Not Like Us” Kendrick gives some Atlanta history about how the white man profited off of black bodies and then informs Drake of how he is doing it today… then ends with the punching line of calling homeboy a colonizer… because that is what he is; A modern day colonizer. I enjoy your topics and show keep it up. Thank you. ❤😊 8:11

Our art is so valuable that EVERYONE will try to exploit or imitate or take credit, and then turn around and tell us that "Black doesn't sell overseas", or "you need to try to reach a 'broader' (read: white) audience." People like Kendrick remind us that WE are powerful together. They don't understand that our art is our survival, our stories, our call to prayer, call to arms, and so many other things. They are so afraid of exclusion that they don't like to not know what we are doing. When they see how easily we CAN come together, it gives them them the "willies" for sure. That is how Kendrick knows he is doing something right. I am SO here for it!

The history of gang banging in Southern California tells us the good feeling will be smashed by some young dude who is mad because his ignorance needs to be heard and will make him go against the grain. I went against the grain during the 92 peace treaty out of ignorance . I KNOW WHAT HAPPENS. SO YES, THIS IS A MOMENT. Furthermore, I know it has become an iconic moment for the world to see, but it wasn't about race . It was about K Dot pointing out to Drake, that he can't talk tough without the cultural understanding of what that kind of ego comes from. What I saw was a direct shot at Drake for his middle-class upbringing, but talking like he has the actual experience. I like K Dot on a technical rap level . I like Drake on a clever ride and bump my music level. Let's be honest we don't ride around and bump K Dot. WE DONT! But Drake, WE DO! K Dot is math. Drake is relaxation. MM is feared lyrically, but we don't ride around playing his music. Drake is how you party, but we don't talk about him when we discuss math. The battle was even until DJ MUSTARD beat surfaced. It became the knockout blow. Growing up I was taught, you don't have to win the fight as long as you fight. Drake fought, but Kendrick used math and showed him , " I'm from the culture, and I'll show you." Sorry for the loooooooong answer, but it is only a moment. Excuse the errors

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with holding on to the past. Especially when it comes to music as a 90s kid I prefer that compared to today. But I'll be honest and give credit where it is do. Kendrick has always stayed true to who he is and where he's come from. What he raps about and how he does it. We all know PRINCE didn't do a lot of music with rappers but he did with Kendrick. That in itself says alot. But I have always liked his music promoting BLACK people. Let's not forget he did the Black Panther sound track and what people felt about that movie when it came out. Music has the power to move people and Unite folks. Kendrick is doing that with the culture of rap in mind.

    Karen thank you for speaking briefly about the contradictions of utilizing the n word. Kendrick is a gifted artist. And I do like his music. I first felt lifted when I heard his song, "We gonna be Alright". Yet, Im praying he and others will awaken to the truth of embracing this venomous n-word. There's no other community that embraces a vile word that was used to assault our mind, body, and spirit and then claim it as their own with a "twist" of a letter. It's absurd!!! I aways ponder when folks claim they are spiritually enlightened and talk and walk and hear from God. Yet, they seem to never get enlightened that the n word is not the Creator's image of us. We are the image of the IAM. Therefore we are IAM. The n word is fulfilling the purpose of the deceiver--to destroy the image and likeness of the IAM for generation to generation. My grandmother would constantly say, "my heart bleeds". Now I understand her lamenting that our people have walked into the den of deception.

I don’t understand why they don’t have respect for what out ancestors went through. Why do any black artist think it’s okay to use the N-word so freely when so much pain, heartache, and Dehumanizing have come from racist people calling our people that word. When will our people wake up and realize that we’re making ourselves so small on the world stage when we use that word like it’s candy. Our people have to do better.

So either you exist in a Kumbaya bubble or you're not aware of what's going on outside of your podcast. You're talking about Busta and Kool Herc, like they enjoyed love from AA's, why not include how afraid Herc was to link hip hop to the islands, why not talk about all the bullying they got because they were from the Caribbean. I don't have an issue with you, you're part of the 15% that has sense but your downfall is that you spend most of your time defending foolishness done by the 85%.
