Kendrick isn’t coming at drake for being half white lol he’s coming at Drake for the ways he seems to use blackness, wearing it like a costume he can put on for fun and take off when its time to be serious —things only biracial blacks can do easily. Drakes career has greatly

No it’s the way yall view the way black twitter sees Kendrick. Many on black twitter have been at odds with Kendrick. Look up the noname critique of Kendrick, look up the criticism of mr morale when it comes to using Kodak black, using the f word, etc. if you don’t have any

Kendrick is the blackest artist making the blackest art in all of mainstream music lol
when people say To Pimp A Butterfly sounds too white on Twitter, it's like saying John Coltrane or Miles Davis or James Brown or Jackie Wilson or The Isley Brothers or Funkadelic (all key influences) sound white. Just admit you're ignorant to jazz and funk and soul

Whether they believe it or not. Kendrick knows it. Not every line is for the gp. Drizzy was talking directly to Kendrick. It was brilliant the flip he did there. You mean to tell me the artist that made “We gon be alright” wanted to hop on blonde hair blue eyed Taylor’s Bad Blood

Battle rappers siding with drake is no surprise, just like mase, cam, gillie, they never made the type of music Kendrick makes. Lying about street shit is the life’s blood of modern battle rap. They ain’t tryna hear Kendrick’s therapy bars lol

problem with this is its a much nicer flow than it is believable narrative. The audience doesn't believe top made kendrick rap for the whites/do pop features or that it was even a big deal if so when TPAB and MMATBS were released under TDE. Kendrick didn't hear this and go aw man
