Reminder that there was a period of time just a few years ago we were all expected to sit down and listen to what rappers who normally write about how much they love money and pussy have to say about the current state of society as though they were the great philosophers of the modern day.
Its also funny because we live in one of the most prosperous times in history. No one who actually has a job is complaining
>>129980526Could have picked much better examples.
>>129980526I've never heard this song. But it's one of those things I still know about somehow. Like I've never seen Jurassic Park either, but I could tell you a little about it.
>>129980526I never watched this shit. It was thelast gasp of the Kendrick era of mainstream “conscious” hip hop and I was already burnt out.
>>129980526This wasn't even half as preachy as To Pimp A Butterfly but you're right it was mind numbingly patronizing
>>129980526They’re incredible social commentary?>Yo.. um.. we wuz.. like.. slaves. and now we.. um.. gettin shot by tha pohleece..I think this whole phenomenon died along with BLM when police started regularly carrying bodycams. Much like how #MeToo was killed by the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial.
nobody forced you to do anything. stop being a victim

>>129980736>Jesus fucking Christ, fuck off back to >>>/pol/. Eat shit and die /pol/niggers.Why would I go on /pol/? What does not listening to this song? It's not like I care about genociding people. I love 90% of black music. Why would you relegate blacks to be utter shit? You sound like the racist here.
>>129980731>>129980736That doesn’t work anymore. We’ll talk about whatever we want.
>>129980769What does not listening to this song have to do with them*
>>129980526Millennials and their music trends are the cringiest shit ever, not even boomers were like this
>>129980736you will never be a woman
>>129980526Literally his worst song ever yet it's his highest rated all because Anthony Fantano felt bad about being a chud
>>129980777Both millenials and zoomers alike are desperate to have their "Woodstock" or Gen-X Grunge moment. Or journos do. But every little thing putters out. BRAT, Kendrick's superbowl, this song, etc.. They act like every other thing is the biggest shit ever and then no one talks about it the next week.

>>129980526>>129980730Social commentary didn't start with them. It just became stupider and more self-pitying/victim mentalitied.Go listen to The Message from grandmaster flash for the OG 80s version of it.
>>129981122I don't remember the Message particularly blaming any single thing though.Rakim had one of the best bars...just about self-improvement.>Thinkin' of a master plan>'Cause ain't nothin' but sweat inside my hand>So I dig into my pocket, all my money spent>So I dig deeper, but still coming up with lint>So I start my mission, leave my residence>Thinking, "How could I get some dead presidents?">I need money, I used to be a stick-up kid>So I think of all the devious things I did>I used to roll up, "This is a hold-up, ain't nothing funny>Stop smiling, be still, don't nothing move but the money">But now, I've learned to earn 'cause I'm righteous>I feel great, so maybe, I might just>Search for a nine to five, if I strive>Then maybe I'll stay alive
>>129980526Rap as a genre ever getting as big as it did feels like a big social engineering operation.
>>129980526The early 2020s are a literal dark age, an absolute nightmare, all thanks to Leftists stealing the culture and the presidency. People don't realize how reinvigorating Trump's reelection was and reign even now is no matter how much bullshit you want to bitch about.People had no hope for the future for 4 years. Now, people are starting to believe that something better can be pursued beyond the bend.
>>129980612Zoomers, in my experience, are incredibly lazy and entitled. Many of them have no idea what working an actually shitty job is like, so they take their cushy current ones for granted and phone it in just because they think it isn't paying them enough. I don't think even 75% of them have gratitude for their jobs, even in the midst of a recession.
Are 4chan failsons any more qualified than rappers to give their epic takes on culture and society?
>>129981196trump was cool for five seconds then he headfaked on doge, flipped on epstein, started wars for israel, started censoring speech for israel and has sold the us to tech bros and israel. he now champions palantir. hillary praises him for being tough on iran. he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. gas prices and food will be so high by summer, you will want him to withdraw all support to israel but he will be passing trillion dollar spending bills. he fucked us. i agree the biden age was hell. thus is now worse. because the hope is all fake, the free speech is all used against people to jail them, fire them, put them in a database.
>>129980627That's because you didn't actually read OP's post.What OP is referring to is the whole era prior to the recent cultural shift away from it. The OP image is highlighting just how much the media worked to apotheosize negros during that time, not remind the reader of something "recent".
>>129981196Trumps "reinvigorating" was quickly dashed when prices did not improve, Epstein files were not released, and another sand desert war was started for the ZOG. I'd argue we're at an all time low morale.
>>129980526"conscious hip hop" is the gayest, most retarded hypocrite shit ever. If they really believed in that crap, they'd donate 100% of their earning to whatever cause they preach but no, it never happens not even once.
>>129981239>he headfaked on doge"headfake"?>flipped on epsteinthey still got released>started wars for israelno he didn't>started censoring speech for israelonly non-citizens are censoredare you going to also complain about non-citizens getting deported?>has sold the us to tech bros and israelno he hasn't>he now champions palantirtell me how many terrorist attacks we've suffered lately>hillary praises him for being tough on iranso>he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothingto israel. 4d chess>gas prices and food will be so high by summer, you will want him to withdraw all support to israelfirst of all, non-sequitursecond of all, the inflation has been a thing since Biden's termyou could criticize him for a nonexistent and thereby ineffective economic policy, but you are in fact doing something far dumber than that>he fucked ushow?we're still hereleftism is dyingNetanyahu is reportedly deadthe worst thing he ever did was shill the vaxx>thus is now worseyou are being out of your mind dramatic>the hope is all fakehow?we literally are about to win the culture war we've waged for over 10 yearsare you not seeing the big picture?clearly not

>>129981260*"conscious rap"conscious *hip-hop*, like KRS-1 stuff, has always typically been centered around raising black consciousness, not just bitching about whitey
>>129981225just filter all the obviously retarded losersit's very easy to tell who is just raging and parroting, and who actually has given serious thought to the state of the world
>>129981187Rap was already a juggernaut by the end of the 2000sIt became the dominant force in the 2nd half of the 2010s because of the failure of rock and electronica or anything else to maintain or gain cultural ground, thus leading to it consuming a larger share of the pie
>>129981157>>Thinkin' of a master plan>>'Cause ain't nothin' but sweat inside my handyou could have headed your post with something way less deluded than "one of the best bars"this kindergarten ass shit
>>129980834>Both millenials and zoomers alike are desperate to have their "Woodstock" or Gen-X Grunge momentYou pulled this notion out of your ass.
>>129980772This is indicative of the fact that we *are* in fact living in better times, by definition of SJWism now being a universal laughingstock that's been backed into the corner like a desperate animal.
white people are so fragile lmao
>>129981489>one black person dies>black people set fire to multiple cities over itIdk bro, that sounds a bit more fragile.
>Faustian bargain facing black AmericaDo they even know what they're saying? This makes no sense
>>129981508yep
>>129981508>one black person makes a music video >white people still crying 8 years lateridk bro
>>129981455I just pointed out examples. How am I making anything up? These are very real things that I easily pointed to that happen. The very song in OP is an example of this "AAHHHHH we're in such a cultural moment!!" marketing tactic. The same shit with Kendrick and the superbowl too, including on this board. I can understand wanting to be part of something. Lets be real. You guys have nothing. But you keep trying to artificially boost fake and gay bullshit. It's not organic.
were only giving a few select rappers this benefit. you have to be someone before you can make a statement that people listen to
>>129981517A single thread on 4chan is at the same level as multiple cities being on fire? Damn this place is more important than I thought.
>>129981517nobody is crying here. you're trying to twist the narrative like a woman does
>>129981508I don't know about you but I dont think the police force should be killing american citizens. Hope this helps.
>>129981511It means deal with the devil
alotta huwite fragility itt
>>129980526Do ya think that kids with guns are not a problem?
>>129981511What I mean is it doesn't make sense because there's no "deal", it's literally gibberishFaust himself took the deal to be an epic writer or whatever
>>129981508This. The entire Presidential election depended on it in 2020
>Net worth 40 million >White supremacy capitalism is keeping me down
>>129981993you mean mkultra spook manchurian candidate shooters who only appear in election cycles or when democrats are in office, who then magically transform from rightwing to leftwing when the gop get in office, and even stretch to trans shooters to fir an agenda
I'm so fucking glad the woke era ended after Liberals turned their anger on Israel
>>129981620And a mixed group of people protesting against a corrupt agency isnt' "black people setting fire to multiple cities". A single target and some other buildings on a block in one cities isn't the same as multiple cities burning down.
Im sad my youth was stolen by the woke gag order from 2014 to 2020. Wish I couldve grown up around the current cohort
>>129982078It still exists. Just wait until Taylor Swift tours again
>>129980736based
Go suck Trump's male vagina and go to war for your precious jews, retard
>>129982078it ended because israel didn’t need to push it anymore when they wanted to cozy up to trump and try to label everyone on the left a terrorist. now they are back to pushing extreme degeneracy on the libs with shows like euphoria. if they need woke to shame people again, it’ll coe back. likely not now because israel’s days are numbered, and the wirld is on the verge of a planned economic collapse to usher in the great reset and greater israel
>>129981239Sir, you seem to be lost. This is the music board not the politics and current events board.
>>129982091>Just wait until Taylor Swift tours againWashed up. Walled. Finished.
>>129981222>. I don't think even 75% of them have gratitude for their jobswhy should I feel grateful that I get to slave away every day
>>129982161She's gonna tour in 2028 to get the Democrat elected
>>129980736C r y h a r d e rryharder
>>129980834>Kendrick's superbowlIt only "puttered out" for seething Drakecels who have never recovered from the entire stadium screaming "AAAA MINORRRRR."
>>129980526White people bad! Because dancing monkey says so!
>>129982192>>129982161She has no beliefs except whatever is immediately profitable to her.
I think the reason a lot of this stuff is remembered with so much contempt is not due to the music itself; the music was mostly just silly. It was the media's shrill screeching insistence that the music WASN'T silly, but was actually 'important' in some vague undefined way.History has deboonked that thesis, though. Nobody gives a shit about this stuff even just a decade later, which strongly implies that it was not important at all.
>>129982574Exactly. A Democrat in 2028 will be profitable for her
>>129982574of course. in the early days when Bush was president she LARPed as a country singer because that was more profitable.
>>129982090Good times create weak men.Weak men create hard times.Hard times create strong men.Strong men create good times.And besides, there are people who'd say the Bush wars 2002–2008 stole their youth, and people who'd say the Great Recession era 2008–2014 stole their youth.Gain some perspective.
>>129982580it worked for Bob Dylan, didn't it? sixty years later and people still pretend his incoherent stoner ditties are incredibly profound.
>>129982189Because you have the opportunity to earn money, more money than third-worlders get for longer hours and even less dignified labor. You're a soft and myopic faggot that wants everything cushy.
>>129982704the reason it doesn't work with Kendrick et al is because they're corporate plants that the industry decided to create and market as actually meaning anything whereas Dylan was just a guy who wrote a couple of stoner ditties and the media decided after the fact that they meant something. learn the difference.
>>129981682Did the blacks kill any cops in retaliation?No? Oh they didn't? They started by looting Foot Locker and then burned down every business in the plaza instead?
>>129981433Rap peaked in the 90's.
>>129982822not hecking foot locker, we need to protect corporations!
>>129980758>Nooo! You disagree with me? You are le heckin epic reddit söyjack! XDDDD Retarded nigger IQ. I bet you voted for Trump aka a kike dicksucker.
>>129980526>rappers who normally write about how much they love money and pussy have to say about the current state of society as though they were the great philosophers of the modern day.This is where OP got it wrong. Donald Glover is a hipster nerd who went to NYU's art school. He is spiritually white. The whole "i'm black" Atlanta/This Is America/Redbone pivot was just an opportunistic money grab. Same deal with Jordan Peele. He leeches on to an identity that isn't even his.
>>129983021The point stands despite you pretending to miss it entirely.
>>129980627>Kendrick Lamar unironically released a Black Hebrew Israelite album and wasn't criticized for it>the album even won the Pulitzer Prizereally jogs the noggin
>>129983152they were groomed to do it for agitprop. it’s not like they came up with it
>>129980730it was intentionally killed because they had no use for it any longer. what it’s been replaced with is worse and hasn’t been sniffed out to be as obvious to everyone yet
>>129983161Well first its "burnt down multiple cities" and now its "some businesses in this plaza" so I think its you that is moving goalposts
>>129980526look at this zest meisterhttps://whyy.org/episodes/studio-2-extra-philly-writer-tre-johnson-talks-black-genius/
>>129983436>Fiery but mostly peacefulContinue to live in fantasy land. I'm sure the niggers will end injustice next time.
>>129981187it's just economics, pretty cheap to find some kid who can churn out a single and move on to the next kid when said kids don't have to learn to play guitar or sing. rap is the child of disco
>>129981196You are a brainwashed retard
>>129983903nice note to self there, you really need the reminder
>>129980526>2018 was a decade agohoooooly fuckin whiplash
>>129980612>No one who actually has a job is complainingdumbest post on /mu/ today. the actual facts of the financial system make your statement bullshit. the USA is propped up by a smalls section of affluent people spending a large amount of disposable income while millions who "actually has a job" scrape by and suffer.
