in the era of 2Pac and Eminem rappers were considers villains of the music industry and of the pop culture. Bill Clinton ran his presidential campaign blaming "gangsta rap" for many of societal ills at the time (and white people tried frame most rappers that way). There wasn't any possibly any rapper would receive such an award for their art during those eras. It had nothing to do with Kendrick's talent it has to do with Hip Hop being more mainstream. An Ari Melber type wouldn't have discussed it back in the day on a news network, you have no idea how Hip Hop was consumed back in the day or even viewed by the world at large. I am talking going back to its origins. No pulitzer prizes given to any one in Hip Hop "we" weren't good enough. It was just a fad.

This is a battle about authenticity and Drake tried to use AI Tupac to fight it. I think we all know who own. (assuming it's even over)

It's over. Even if aubrey opens his mouth again, it'll be like whistling in a graveyard. There's nothing he can say or do. Kendrick need not say another word. The work is done.

@AriMelber I love you fam. I've watched you quote hip hop lyrics since started your show. You had people from the culture on your show numerous times. For you to keep up with that kind of stuff you have to be in tune with it, so I definitely salute you sir! This movement doesn't have a color, it's only a vibe. ❤

Kendrick is the Katt Williams of the Hiphop/rap arm of our African American Culture. The Comedic Giant was even named as an inspiration in Meet The Grahams. This is a historical Win for the Culture and for the entire Global Black population Great unbiaised coverage, you really did your research and we appreciate that🖤🖤

@fizzychizzy 28 дней назад

It was a double entendre. Invoking Raphael, the Renaissance artist that was part of a Big 3 in his own art period (Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Raphael) and Raphael the arch angel. Note, Michelangelo was the more popular artist because of the amount of output he had at that time. It is actually beautifully written. Kendrick is amazing.

Hip hop is a blood sport. When you cross the line and bring up family, the rules go out the window. This has happened every time with diss tracks. It’s immature, and most agree it is, but that is the way it is in hip hop.
