Drake stans & MAGA boomers, where y’all at?

Yet another example of conservative commentators who should stuck to their lane. A black one at that coming off cringe and embracing. You go on about Elon and Trump using their bully pulpit to advocate their agendas (which I support) yet turn and complain you wanted a mainstream easily digestible dopamine fix when Kendrick uses his bully pulpit and platform to give you top tier Pulitzer level art & social commentary. He gave a Masterclass performance that will be unpacked for a long long time. Complaining about crip walking? Please. You know nothing about urban black street culture and the meaning of her involvement. Miss us with your shallow passing takes & stick to politics. You have no cultural understanding whatsoever in this lane and out of your depth misguiding your cheering white audiences patting you on your back lol.

@bennyjohnson When non Hip Hop arm chair passing critics have no idea what’s on. His art & social commentary is way over your head. Stick to politics.

@CollinRugg When non Hip Hop arm chair passing critics have no idea what’s on. Back to your cheap regular dopamine programming bro, this art is way over your head. Stick to politics.

Haha. Obviously not as culturally or artistically in touch as you claim you are. Stick to your average comedy skits. Respects to your political advocacy though , dope, Patrick & Valuetainment are super dope, but yeah, stay out the Hip Hop art discussions, beyond your passing comprehension. The heads will discuss the goats, and is absolutely making a case for it

Fourth viewing of Kendrick’s Super Bowl performance. Damn. Good art rewards & reveals subsequent viewings. Great art divides audiences. He nailed it. Peekaboo performed in an X possibly another warning to Drake? XXXTentacion 👀🤫 There’s a reason he’s Pulitzer Prize level. 9/10

Kendrick’s performance was dope. Focused on social commentary through his more recent repertoire, he deliberately went against the usual commercial hit driven focuses and at-scale dopamine hit theatrics audiences are used to from other Super Bowl shows, & instead created a constrained but clinical live art piece. Lines, angles, shapes, foreground background depth layering, just the 3D shaping of the space using their bodies was crazy dope. The GNX car intro was sick. Samuel Jackson as black Uncle Sam was a dope multiple entendre I’m sure will be unpacked & dissected for the next while alongside other show elements. Loved the Blood/ Crip/ Democrat/ Republican/ US flag colour palette aesthetic. Street lamps were super dope. SZA vocals was butter. A lot of white people, boomers & non Hip Hop audiences wouldn’t understand much of it either as it was unapologetically black in its cultural references and messaging. The audio mix was terrible, arena crowd mix too low as was Kendrick’s lead vocals in certain parts. Best of all, he addressed Drake directly by name and shone another spotlight on race, commercialism, culture vultures, pedo’s and oversexualised Overton windows. Three views in. 7.5/10 👌🏾🔥

@HoroldHill @2ETEKA Forreal?? That’s a trip. Appreciate the insight

RT @NZFreeSpeech:

@StephenM 💯

💯 NZ and Samoa need this ASAP also please

@EerjkMcRae Thank goodness for freedom of speech. Gained new insights from her then use my own free will to draw what i need from it to help inform my own perspective. Plus, who the hell trusts Stuff anyway? Corrupt AF probably on USAID payroll

Unpopular opinion. He’s a tortured genius unconsciously working through an art live exhibit provocation and experiment in real time that will be vindicated in due course. And then there’s his ego, like Trump, which also complicates matters. Absolutely, some of his takes are shocking and fuckin appalling, I absolutely despise and HATE his take on Puffy, but as a long term Ye fan, I recognise the patterns and actually kinda almost play out the next five chess moves with him knowing whats an ego trip, what’s a troll, & what’s a genius at work smh lol

I keep telling my homies, relatives, my people, my communities this but they eye roll back to their doom scrolls and echo chamber boomer fist bumps smh

@TheBTCTherapist Tomorrow would be ideal 🙏🏾☝🏾

💯 Same here in NZ.

@HopeRising19 💯💯💯 Absolutely.

Been tryna let yall side here on X know that you’re a loud but small echo chamber on this X platform not fully tuned in to the more nuanced balanced empathetic views out in the mainstream (alongside the obviously deluded extremists). NZ has historically lead the world in hugely important matters and firsts, like women’s voting rights, nuclear energy etc etc, and though this racial conversation, though difficult, is necessary & long overdue, and we have an opportunity to lead the world once again in showing how integrated cultural harmony could be. My own view to add to the discourse.

We were only three rounds in. Warm ups. Oh well. Look forward to the next with whoever, left or right. Hip Hop - anybody can get it. Stay sharp, battle test your biases 👌🏾🙏🏾❤️✌🏾
