    I don’t think his problem with Drake going to Atlanta was that him being physically present in the city made him a colonizer, nor would I say that Drake is honest about what he’s about in nearly any respect besides, and I would give you this over Kendrick, that he’s naked about his self-obsession and ego-tripping, while Kendrick performs being righteous and claims that he doesn’t like being famous and so on.

      I’m gonna be so real, saying black people can’t be colonizers while sitting on a high horse just invalidates the entire post

      Legit just being contrarian for the sake of it and then using Palestinians as a shield from criticism

      Place been getting real reactionary and anti-science these days

        I agree with the rest of it, but could you elaborate on the anti-science part? I’m not contesting that either, I just don’t know what you’re referring to and especially the relevance to the current subject.

        There was/is a major hip-hop movement there that a lot of non-local grubby hands want to be part of. Essentially all these record labels and big names from outside the area didn’t care before it became popular. Now they want to come in and sign all the local talent to labels (Drake owns a label) without caring what the local scene is about. They also extract profits without contributing to the area. Then it lets people like Drake claim they helped build the local scene when they only came in after it was already popular. Kendrick views Drake as a culture vulture, trying to buy his way into rap legitimacy.
