    Hind’s Hall already dropped, but it would be great to see Kendrick actually acknowledge the main problem in the world at the moment. Silence is deafening at this point.

      Kendrick demolished drake, but he is not your savior

      In all seriousness when he does touch on foreign policy, which is rare, it’s usually usually standard liberal nonsense so he can keep his opinion to himself.

        No doubt, but I can’t imagine there’s really a lot of pro-Israel sentiment in hip hop (for good reasons and for some bad reasons). He’s been pretty lib on other topics but there’s no reason he’d somehow be too pressed to just say free Palestine and speak on the connection between Black liberation and Palestinian liberation, especially right now that he has a lot of approval from the public.

          I’m not sure. Kendrick isn’t a communist (which is kind of crazy because Tupac was and Kendrick looks up to Tupac quite a bit) so I don’t know if he has the education on Palestine to be able to make that connection. I also know he sympathizes with the black Israelite movement so whatever opinion Kendrick gives is probably bad whether it supports Israel or not.

            Completely fair, but I wonder if he does sympathize with the Black Israelites or if Kodak was just tripping when he said that, because it doesn’t make sense that he was mocking his Black Israelite cousin on DAMN if he really believed that stuff. But he’s definitely not Tupac.
