my post-super bowl thoughts (kendrick lamar’s halftime show), the bottom line: it’s not about Drake. it’s about what he represents: the commercialization of Black culture to serve systems that don’t serve us. malcolm warned us about these media puppets long ago. this is bigger than rap: if you felt disrespected or confused, maybe that’s the point. art is meant to challenge, not just entertain. if you didn’t “get it,” the system is doing exactly what it was designed to do-keep you distracted. kendrick is the most creative genius in hip-hop history. fact. but go ahead-scroll through your feed. watch folks complain that it “wasn’t entertaining enough.” that’s who the system is working on. here’s your challenge: if you’re angry, ask yourself: are you mad at the message-or the mirror it’s holding up? we’re done tolerating rappers inserted to hurt us. we’re awake now. if you’re not, that’s on you. art isn’t always fun. art is revolution. #balanceu #balanceunow #kendricklamar #superb...
