The video of Drake talking about Jamaican accents years ago brings home several of her comments. Not to mention the infamous bagel video with his mom.
I assume you're talking about Auntie Diaries? Complicated song. I enjoyed this take from a different perspective than my own. https://www.vox.com/culture/23101387/kenrick-lamar-auntie-diaries-transphobic-morale-big-steppers
Had to go back and listen to it again, my perspective remains the same. I took it as him growing from kid to adult throughout the song. He misgenders and uses the F slur a lot as a kid and moves away from that as an adult. Talks about standing up for his trans cousin in church and choosing humanity over religion. Closes by comparing using that word to a white girl using the N word. I don't take the song as him being transphobic at all. It's the complete opposite of me. It's the story of him learning what's hurtful to family he loves and becoming a better person. I think that's a good thing?
I think Kendrick has shown more growth than someone like DaBaby, who still doesn't understand how damaging his homo and transphobic language is.
Kendrick talks about a lot of stuff I can't relate to. It gives perspective into a world I'll never know but I can't really relate. But him looking back and acknowledging he was wrong and caused others pain but has grown from it is something I can relate to. Hell I'm still growing, not a fat joke.
Soooo are they going to just put it up for streaming as it was live or are they going go edit it and make it more polished?
“Donald Trump?” Snoop Dogg said. “He ain’t done nothing wrong to me. He has done only great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris.” “I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump,” Snoop added. Those quotes are from 2024
yes and fuck snoop one person being pardoned doesn’t change anything for me. The evil trump wants to do negates this one thing.
That's fine. I'll be honest and say that if GWB would have pardoned my brother, I'd probably say he was alright by me. I get we all want people to stand on principle and not let personal things affect them but I can't demand more from someone than I'd expect for myself. Snoop has talked mad shit about Trump for a long long time, but I get him being thankful for Harry O.
It’s the literal definition of being a selfish asshole. If you’re personal gain is more important to you than the pain and suffering of millions than I can easily say fuck you.
Now we get the peanut gallery crying about a couple of posts (that are on topic) for the next 10 pages. Lol
I was discussing snoop dogg who made a comment about KL regarding the concert. It’s not like a brought him up for no reason. Then dbl asked why I had that opinion he disagreed and we moved on.
Humans are selfish, including you. It's OK to admit that. I'd vote for Trump if it meant my brother came back. Fuck me for that? Aight.
To bring it back to the topic title, I never listened to any of his pre Section 80 stuff before all this popped off recently. Big fan of this freestyle. Guy has been trying to tell people he's that dude for literally 15 years.
While all of that may be true the assertion that discussing Snoop supporting Trump is on topic for this thread is something.
snoop was brought up because of a statement he made regarding KL. My opinion is that his statement is irrelevant because of his stance on DT. I was adding context to that one post. It was just discussing something that was posted in the thread. It’s not an unrelated tangent.
didn't even know Overly Dedicated was a thing until seeing it on spotify and giving it a listen a few weeks back to quote blind dog, it was delightful
Bomani and Dominique make fantastic points. The planning for all of this had to be amazing. To pla. This out to the point where you’re having a Juneteenth concert means he not only planned everything perfectly, but had to plan for your beefs to play out as strongly as they did was amazing. He even arranged for J. Cole to get out because he wasn’t in his plans. Also, this shows that he likely has more ready to go. OVO Fest is in July and Drakes best bet would be to take the L and let this die.
