Rapper Kendrick Lamar became the first non-classical, non-jazz musician to ever win a Pulitzer Prize for Music. Lamar has topped the charts with music that tackles issues of race, politics, religion, and even mental health. The Pulitzer follows the five Grammy Awards won by Lamar in January for DAMN., his fourth studio album. His previous album, To Pimp a Butterfly, also won five Grammys. Lamar recently produced and curated the soundtrack for the Black Panther film to critical acclaim. He will not, however, tolerate white people singing the word "[blank]" when singing along to his songs even when he calls them up to sing with him. Word. More + VIDEO
COMMENTARY
We disagree with Kendrick and the audience, but it's not our choice. And we don't want it to be our choice. Let Lamar, other rappers, and the oppressed communities referred to be the ones to decide how they are referred to, even when re-appropriating or taking the sting out of a defamatory and highly offensive term with strong racial and socioeconomic terms. Can we all, eventually, just get along? Not now, but in the future? Reparations are needed, but the whole discussion is a non-starter.
WARNING: Vulgar, profanity, N-word, sexual references, gratuitous, ratchet! Oprah Winfrey's favorite album contained "Bodak Yellow," Winfrey claims. Don't sing along!
(Jonathan Miller) Make a deal with Baphomet? Even if you don't believe, they do. And they won't let you "make it" in Hollywood without a sealed deal where they control you.
Is Kanye West waking up from MK Ultra?
