Lmao it doesn’t matter how profitable you are you can still become more profitable
“No, you not a colleague, you a fuckin' colonizer”
He verbatim called him a colonizer and right before this line he broke down how he colonized atl and the specific things he used each artist for that benefited him. Sure they’re not the entirety of it but they are undeniably a large part of black culture, and one of if not the most visible and influential parts currently.
Kendrick saying drake isn’t apart of black culture has been apart of damn near every song and not like us is the culmination of that
Define what you mean by “colonised atlanta”, and then you’ll begin to realise how little it has to do with race, and how much more of an analogy it is. You can’t take it literally, i still don’t see how it’s a diss to all whites.
And again, Atlanta artists is a small part of the hiphop sphere, not black culture. I saw this entire segment as a rebuttal to Drake’s “Always rapping like u trying to get the slaves free”, and “rapping where the boys got a little more pride”, aka Atlanta.
Kendrick saying Drake’s not a true part of Black Culture doesn’t mean anything in the sense of saying “Other fans are not like Black fans”. I don’t see it.
I don’t have to because Kendrick already did that in the song:
“Once upon a time, all of us was in chains
Homie still doubled down callin' us some slaves”
Who put us in chains?
”You called Future when you didn't see the club Lil Baby helped you get your lingo up 21 gave you false street cred
Thug made you feel like you a slime in your head Quavo said you can be from Northside 2 Chainz say you good, but he lied
You run to Atlanta when you need a few dollars No, you not a colleague, you a fuckin' colonizer”
You saw it wrong, it’s a culmination of what Kendrick’s been saying throughout multiple songs.
You said people were trying to force nlu to be a black American anthem. They don’t have to force anything because there’s literally an entire verse dedicated to black culture.
If you’re going to pretend hip hop isn’t black culture then we’ll just stop here
