Kendrick Lamar

So Kendrick went from dissing Drake for being less than a family man (putting it lightly) to collabing with a guy who choked his pregnant girlfriend and wouldn’t sign his own son’s birth certificate?

Really takes the sting out of Not Like Us (for me, at least) when you condone this bullshit behavior when it’s coming from a personal friend of yours (or even worse: when it’s a good business decision).

Does anyone high up in the rap industry have consistently good values without being a hypocrite?

P.S. I like Kendrick.

Edit: I’d like to add this for the people repeating the same point over and over again:

If you want me to stop “putting rappers on a pedestal” then stop treating them like they can’t be criticized.

It’s like: “You can’t criticize that guy. Sure, he may beat women and abandon his kids, but he makes trap music! It’s just different, bro!”

I don’t see most people treating rappers like Playboi Carti the way they treat Chris Brown.

Perhaps that should change?

“Hey everyone, don’t beat women. It’s wrong. If you do it then we won’t like you.”

How difficult of a principle is that to follow?

Edit 2: Not asking for Kendrick to be my savior. Just want him (and all other people) to not associate themselves with terrible people when they are not obligated to do so in any way!
