For those out of the loop, here's Kendrick Lamar's halftime show: https://youtu.be/KDorKy-13ak
holy shit that was fire
imagine how many republicans were immensely angered by this! makes me feel warm inside.
He was playing an antagonist character (way toned down but think of his character in Django) so they might have agreed with his take.
Sam kept urging Kendrick not to make a scene, not to make a fuss, just to stay nice and quiet. Clearly meant to be a baddie but likely lost on a lot of viewers.
Incidentally, I’ve heard the Fox News crowd is currently butthurt about Kendrick’s backup crew/dancers not being “diverse” enough because they wanted more white people in it. So yeah, I don’t think they got it. To be fair though, it’s hard to get people to read between the lines when they have a 3rd-grade reading level.
they're foaming at the mouth over at swastwitter
That was good stuff.
I'm told it was actually a deeply political message, however, I can never understand what the fuck Kendrick is saying in his songs.
I'll have up look up the lyrics later I guess.
I can't even say much about the lyrics. I just know that it was packed with symbolism and it was awesome having Samuel L. acting as Uncle Sam trying to tell Kendrick "what to do" and of course being ignored.
Uncle Samuel L Jackson
Shiiiiiittttthole Country!!!!!!!

Time to dust off the snake-stomping boots.
Hope this gets painted too
