Weirdly Kendrick doesn’t talk a lot about (very) current events given his characterization as a conscious rapper. It always seems to come like 2+ years later
There’s something to be said about him being the Obama of rap. But in fairness, not a lot of rappers are talking about Fred Hampton at all. He’s better than the vast majority of rappers, and certainly the best who’s at that level. Not a high bar to clear for sure, but it’s important to keep things in perspective.

I thought that was Killer Mike
Isn’t Killer Mike the Bernie of rap?
That depends on how much you hate Bernie
I used to love Killer Mike and RTJ. I still like the music but I haven’t listened in a while. He’s very strange, politically.
He strikes me as a “we can reform capitalism and remove its racist tendencies” guy but I have a limited view of his politics if I’m being honest.
He says the answer to capitalism isn’t to abolish capitalism, it’s black capitalism.
Cus regular capitalism works out so great for poor white people.
He’s a landlord
