Sorry What?! - KENDRICK LAMAR | NOT LIKE US | REACTION

[@Smith89123]

Possibly a top ten diss track, it had bars, storytelling, a banging beat and comedy.

[@drudane82]

Name 5 better? You also have to throw Euphoria in there too.

[@andreabrantley6951]

💭There's a history of Drake befriending 14, 15, 16 year olds, then trying to date them when they turn 18! / 💻(There are videos, Look them up.)

[@GretchZ]

“Meet the Grahams” was like 20% coded stuff coming at not just Drake and his local people, it was coming at his people. Like, me, too. There’s a decent amount of stuff that only we ( ✡️ )and people who don’t like us will catch in there.

[@GretchZ]

And this one? This is so direct in accusations that he’s asking for courts to be involved. If he’s wrong, he’s gonna get poor. Hell, he doesn’t need to be wrong. Who can afford better lawyers? “Here’s what white people have done. You’re white.” Is… umm… we know, and you said that already. Weak. This is a knife in a fist fight. So Drake better be carrying, or he’s doomed.

[@youareaspook5897]

could you give me an example of a bar that Kendrick uses with an anti-jewish entendre? I'm also of this descent (distantly) and always find it interesting to explore the many ways in which people reference the supposed control we have

[@pievancl5457]

@@youareaspook5897 in 'meet the grahams' the one that stuck out to me most is the one about the evil shit happening in 'the Embassy'.. obviously on the surface its a reference to Drake's crib of the same name (pictured on 'Not Like Us' with the predator pins attached), but i think because of the other Jew references (comparing Drake to Weinstein, mentioning Drakes jewish upbringing) in the song it could have definitely also been a double entendre about the Israeli embassy; now he's also calling Drake a colonizer. In years past, most people wouldn't call the Jews colonizers since they've mostly been an oppressed minority group throughout history, almost always being the victims of colonization and prejudice themselves; however, ever since the latest installment of the I/P conflict, Jews are seen and labeled as colonizers. Colonizers - even though the majority of Jews in Israel aren't even European/white, but are Mizrahi; even more are both Mizrahi + have mixed Arab ancestry; still more are refugees who either migrated to Israel to avoid persecution, or were ethnically cleansed from all of the surrounding Arab or Muslim majority African nations who went on to pogrom their Jewish citizens as retribution for the creation of a Jewish state in the Middle East and as collective punishment for the subsequent Arab losses in war to Israel. Obviously, this is cleverly masked with language games, like separating "Jews" from "Zionists".... but over 99% of every Jew would be considered a Zionist by the most basic definition: that is, Israel has a right to exist and to defend itself. Ignorant people have been tricked into believing that "Zionism" means something more nefarious than that, like supporting the atrocious and criminal settlements being built in the West Bank; but, in truth, being a Zionist is simply believing that Israel, a state for Jews- the only one like it in the world, mind you- deserves to exist. It has nothing to do with wanting to expand Jewish territory, or conquering the entire Holy Land. The clever ones who started this dichotomy of "Zionist" vs "Jew" believe that there should be a 1 state solution with a full Right of Return for all 6+ million Palestinians worldwide, or that all Jews (European or otherwise, ie even the Jews native to the Arab peninsula) should be ejected from Israel/Palestine "from the river to the sea"...in one way or another. Anyone who believes that Israel has the right to defend itself, or believes that there can be a future with 2 independent and sovereign states (Israel AND Palestine= 2 state solution) are technically Zionists by every function of the most common definition. Now, all that being said, I don't know much about Kendrick or his personal life, but I've heard talk that he's a Black Hebrew Israelite and/or on that Hotep tip. Not sure if that's true or not, but despite the name of the former group mentioned, they have no love for either the real Jews, nor for the Palestinians, because they believe that Israel and the rest of Zion/The Holy Land belong to black people and the rest of the descendants of Ham (the "black" son of Noah), and the "true Tribe of Israel." If its true that hes on that Hotep shit, then, well, as we all know, all conspiracies end at the Jews controlling every game going in the world- the entire hip hop industry and music industry at large included. I respect Kendrick's artistry and intelligence a lot so it would be a shame if he were so talented and so smart but still fell victim to conspiratorial or ahistorical thinking like this, but it wouldn't be the first time a great rapper who i admired fell victim to this bulls***

[@carshawnbutler2101]

Speaking of ahistorical, none of these things were said by Kendrick. This issue is about Black Americans and someone using our culture to benefit at our expense. This is the problem if he believes whatever he believes he is allowed to believe it. People do not have to like any group of people. Is anyone forcing the people of the world to like black people? No. The entitlement of you to make this about how Hebrew Israelites don’t like any group of people. Drake lost cause he was not better than Kendrick and this proves Drake had no business being highest paid rapper and saying he is the best when he is not. Why? Hip Hop is from us and tells our stories and we determine what is and is not hip hop not you. This ahistorical history lesson was not even related to this black American culture that Drake is commodifying for others. It’s disrespectful because this is about us so stop trying to make it about you or religion. But there is a freedom of religion here in America and people of all religions are treated the same HERE so please do not bring up a theocracy when speaking about a rap beef in America. No one told Drake to call his house “the embassy” and he also brought up war crimes in his rap. Black people would never support mass murder so, please leave us out of your things. It’s sick to bring American beef to this gross humanitarian violation, we don’t want it so go away from us with this. Is it possible people don’t like murderers or people who support mass murder? You sound like the conspiracy theorists. Kendrick is supported by hip hop culture which, at its core, is Black American. Drake is not and he never will be again. This is not about I/P and to make that connection so Drake can be a victim after he begged for this a## wh@@ping. No we do not accept this. Drake knew he was not better than Kendrick at rapping, which is what this beef was, J Cole knew and so did Aubrey. This is our business Black Americans and if you are not apart of that group please exit stage left. We control this culture, we say no to what you’re saying here. I have watched all the reactions and no one once mentioned this stuff you’re saying here. And you’re not smarter than everyone so go away.

[@GretchZ]

@pievancl5457 Dude, I agree with the stuff about conspiracies, and the coded language (the 🍕 gate stuff is not directly related, but more evidence he’s deep into conspiracy theories and appeals to people that he probably don’t like his skin tone). But there’s a growing percentage of Jews that are not big into The State of Israel. The “what Zionism is, and why it is both the default and good” speech was kind of a non-sequitur. It’s done a ton of good. I don’t know what would have become of our Ethiopian brothers and sisters without it. But the expansionism has been there from the first war(why annex in a war of defense?), and is built into the constitution. “It could have been done better” can be said after most major actions. The breaking point for me to get more critical is… you don’t shoot missiles at tunnels. It doesn’t work. You can’t build tunnels as long as was claimed. Missiles cost way less than power plants (what was echoed by my home shul, state and regional organisations was “if they can afford crappy missiles, they can afford their own power grid). Transnational tunnels don’t all exist under a single shopping district. There is a large segment of us that don’t look critically enough at it because… it’s all we got. But it’s too far gone. There were chances to turn back and fix stuff, but I don’t see any good end at this point. It’s gonna suck. But you know what? If we made a concerted effort, we could establish an equivalent safe haven in Wyoming. If half the population in the USA moved to Wyoming we would have a significant voting base, and could easily establish large, gated communities. Wyoming isn’t very restrictive on gun ownership, if you want armed defense. It’s even moderately desolate so it’s practically the desert! I’ll go to The Land when Moshiach gets here. I won’t even need to do anything!
