Thought beat was boring. Hook is indeed kray
Song wasn't mean for us anyways, clearly for black people only. Which is fine but I don't understand why 90% of people are going nuts for it considering a lot of his fanbase is white kids trying to be cool lol

Final, final verdict on Joey Badass and Lupe:
B4da$$ - 7/10
Tetsuo&Youth - 9/10
B4da$$ can be higher if you really like the old school beats...

There's enough good in the end to save this from being a bad mixtape, if that makes sense

Great sample yep, I've noticed, then found the sample on rap genius...
About the Kendrick song, some white dude etc: Alright, I need to get something off my chest & I’d love some honest feedback. Kendrick Lamar’s “The Blacker The Berry” was released yesterday. It’s a beautifully unapologetic, lyrically complex track while still getting it’s point across to even the most casual of listener. It’s simultaneous celebration/criticism of black culture, it’s globally reaching attack on cultural appropriation, it’s deeply introspective analysis of ones own hypocrisies bred from a world founded of the same hypocrisies, genius. To quote most everyone online, it’s fucking fire. That being said, it aggravates me seeing responses from white listeners saying things like “It’s going to be awkward bumping this shit as a white guy” or just being turned off by the song because it makes them feel uncomfortable. I understand this reaction to an extent, but I think anyone who feels this way needs to figure out exactly what part of this makes them uncomfortable. A lot of the power of this song comes from talking about things that most people would rather ignore, possibly because of fear or a lack of self-examination. Being a hip-hop fan in the 21st century means a lot more than just enjoying the music. We must have a deep understanding of the history behind how this culture came to be, and where it can go. It’s a social and political movement. In order to create real change for the better, we need to change the minds of the popular majority. This can’t be done by blacks alone. We have an immensely large group of white sleeper agents who only listen to hip hop through their headphones, and only discuss it through forums like this. White fans of hip-hop culture need to wear their love on their sleeves. I have to believe that if you have a real passion for music, you believe that music can change the world. This is a chance for all hip-hop fans to speak openly and honestly about race issues in our country, and not just to each other but to opposing forces as well. So if you’re hesitant to blast your music, ask yourself why. If it’s for fear of being judged by your rap-loathing peers, challenge them to give this a chance and bring about a real discussion. You might be surprised how easy it is to get someone to look at others and themselves from a fresh perspective if you just nudge them in the right direction. If you’re afraid of what black people will say or do if they catch you listening to stuff like this, ask yourself what made you assume this would be a negative encounter. If you don’t agree with the horrific atrocities whites have unapologetically committed against blacks (and all non-whites) since the dawn of time, then for the love of god, stop listening. But I assume most have yet to actually examine why this makes you uncomfortable in the first place. If you hide your love for politically charged songs like this, but blast that Migos mixtape you love so much, say nigga behind closed doors and talk about “getting real ignorant” on a regular basis, look at yourself closely. You have to challenge yourself to overcome your own hypocritical prejudices, no matter how harmless you think they may be. I am saying all of this as a white male. I reject the notion that we should be quiet about race for fear of saying the wrong thing. If we’re saying the wrong thing, chances are we are thinking about things the wrong way. We need to be taken down a few (thousand) pegs. Say what you think, and make sure you really listen when you are corrected by your black brothers and sisters. I’m hoping to do the same right now. tl;dr Listen to what you want publicly without apologies, but take the time to acquire the knowledge to back up your passion for your art. Or no?

Where'd you get that cheesy post? That guy clearly feels guilty for being a white guy. That's even worse than being legit racist or just ignoring the situation altogether
lol @ "real passion in music means you believe it can change the world." No
Who the fuck cares anyways. Song IMO was ass and I didnt care about anything was said. I'm sure A LOT of people agree with me but they'll say "omg Kendrick is fire!!1" just cause they can't form an opinion for themselves

I agree man, I'm telling it to my friend that the song isn't really that special when you put 2 and 2 together...
Hip Hop music can't change the world for sure, that's just being dumb and not knowing how the crap system works...

Nothing can change the world at this point lol
I THINK I've come to a conclusion on this drake tape/album thing
5/10 as a standalone album 8/10 as a mixtape
Solid but probably his worst release to date. Good thing Views from the 6 will pretty much erase this from everyone's memories anyways
