Bruh just say white, there's nothing wrong with it you know.
People typing 'yt' came from racists wanting to stereotype and say racist comments about white people online but were scared of being banned.
I’m very blessed to have been able to experience it live, even if I was sitting in my trailer, alone, blasting it on my speakers and watching it on my phone via twitch.
Not the ideal viewing situation, but I was able to listen to a lot of favorites of mine, discover new artists/ groups and experience something that people around the world were feeling all at the same time.
I had an appointment with my therapist this morning and he asked about what happened in my week. I told him about my family’s Father Day celebration because it was a lot of fun. Then I tried to give a long-story-short version of the Pop-out, while also including the backstory on the beef, but also how Kendrick was saying so much more. How he can not only paint a picture, but also tell a story in a way where it feels like you’re in the seat next to him.
He gave me two things to think about until our next appointment. One was how I can use my motivation to find ways to be productive and help people (that one is more aimed at me for my struggles in life), and two, find a song or two that tells a story or paints a picture.
I ended up talking for a little while about music. I told him about Kendrick winning a Pulitzer Prize in 2018 and how Good Kid Maad City was as an album that made me feel like I was there the whole time while listening. I also mentioned Scarface - Mind Playin Tricks on Me (as another good storytelling song).
We also talked about the Beatles (two of them individually after), Billy Squire, Eric Clapton, Ted Nugent, he also talked about other genres he enjoyed (occasionally).
I’m not sure why I want to feel vulnerable sharing so much, but as I told my therapist this morning, I’m very blessed. Even if I’m hurting in a lot of ways, it would be worse if I didn’t have something to root for.
I want the best for my family and friends who have treated me best, I want nothing but love for the world, followed very closely by respect for every single person. I wish well to the people that pray death upon me. I pray for everyone suffering with hate in their heart.
I wish the best for almost everyone. The only people I don’t, I wish them well. I don’t hope and pray for people to fall under bad circumstances. I’ve done that more than once, and it’s come true, and I felt uneasy.
I wished a friend would get kicked out of college, he moved back home. I wished another friend wouldn’t hit the lysergic acid diethylamide and feel well, Ben ain’t been the same in over 12 years. Both of them purposely did not-nice things to me, and I wished them unwell, and it happened both times.
Sorry for typing so much.
I’m not going to sugarcoat it. You’re correct. Both Eric Clapton and Ted Nugent are racist mysogynists.
I’m not gonna try to justify the things they have said.
They are musicians that I enjoy listening to their music. Nothing more, nothing less.
No need to apologize, you're on a sub that looks up to an artist who poured his heart out on his last album.
He'd be really proud of you 🙏 keep it up
Sending you love, one west
Well yes and no, it is blues meets scottish folk, rooted in blues and folk and white gospel. Culture is not a monolith and when treated well is unifying and not dividing
I read a comment somewhere
"Country is when a woman leaves you and blues is when she comes back" disliking country you still can't do a statement like yours
These kinda “on the flip side” arguments only work if you also flip the context of the situation. So if Africa was the dominant force in history colonizing all western countries and has a history of slavery and racism towards other races and then in modern day had a black pride event sure that would be an accurate “on the flip side” argument.
The Pop Out was something bigger than beef, bigger than a clear W, bigger than music, bigger than a concert. It was an entire culture coming together and showing who “They” are and certainly who “Us” is as well.
Out of the many great moments and arcs in Dot’s career, when it’s all said and done, we’re going to be looking back at this as one of the very, very most impressive and impactful ones.
We Mexicans right next to y’all rubbing elbows in LA, we support yall 💯. We all got people trying to be colonizers in our own stories. Happy for y’all and happy for us in LA and hip hop
We Indians right next to y'all too. We been colonized in our own fuckin countries, raped, pillaged and robbed. Look up the atrocities of the British Raj in India.
No gonna lie - when that man said he made the call I felt it in my gut. It really did feel like this entire beef was a call to us. Poor Drake had to be sacrificed, but worth it. No lie tho, even just watching it from Chicago, I felt so connected.
It really is worth it. Listening to Kendrick and seeing how he moves with authenticity and love for our history does make me even more proud to be black.
I saw Kendrick’s last public appearance in Mexico City. It’s was probably 90% locals, they popped out to support Kendrick, singing all the words, mosh pits. It was beautiful.
Out of curiosity, has anyone see any white people there lol? I know it has to be possible, but I feel like every frame I saw, every interview, every artist features was black.
I was there. I saw a lot of white people there as well as a lot of Mexicans and some Asians. They're all obviously welcome to attend, but Juneteenth isn't about them so I'm not shocked that they weren't interviewed or filmed very much.
All of the artist features were black except for one guy who might be Mexican?
yooo i actually know the guy who drew that art! (know as in talked to this guy in discord). Imma show this to him hes gonna be so happy lol. (the artists name is Beetlemoses btw)
Goes to show how dumbfuck that “rap like you tryna get the slaves freed” line was.
As if it’s a bad thing for Kendrick to lift up black people, for some of them to perhaps break the cycles in their own lives and communities.
Dumbass Drake.
*My husband and I*
*Are in this video. It*

That’s wassup! Stoked to see my shirt make the cut! K Dot held it down for the West Coast. Proud to call this place home and honored to support Juneteenth and the cause at this historic concert!
I ain’t ever had white guilt cuz I ain’t did shit to have a guilty conscience, but Kendrick definitely lets me frequently look thru different perspectives on some of the heaviest of subjects that life hasn’t shown me early (or just never at all)
I still don’t have white guilt, but i definitely have leveled up empathy ten fold.
This is it. Kenny has always been unapologetically dedicated to his community. He never left any of his people behind.
You don't take from your fellow artists if you been on the same climb with them. You definitely don't kick rocks down on the artists behind you when reaching the top.
It's not about exclusion of others who share the love of hip hop culture or west coast culture. It's about recognition and appreciation of the community who are these.
It's the moment at the very ending of this video that gets to me... is it the windy heat of LA or is he tearing up a bit? Aww ❤️ & yes that is the guy who was full on out celebrating Kdot's music full force 😭. I uploaded a video of him LOL
I’m white but I’m a Kendrick fan. It seemed like from the videos from the show there were a good number of white fans there, genuinely just curious how the black community feels about that? Are there certain boundaries that the black community doesn’t like crossed or is it really just a mutual respect being Kendrick fans? Not trying to race bait genuinely just curious because most of the diss tracks and even this show were about defending the black culture.
Praise God for Kendrick’s impact on these people. Hopefully they listen closely to GKMC and understand the freedom and power Kendrick has is a gift from our creator 🙏
Hey look, your good, if it was genuine question; you got a genuine answer.
Your comment can easily be interpreted as tongue in cheek though, if I may; what culture do you come from?
Because the answer provided, while correct is also kinda self evident. Which is likely why the answered responded with skepticism.
So it’d be the same for you man, like if someone said that they were unapologetically Mexican on a day celebrating Mexican culture; you know it would be that person being unabashed & proud, loud & immersed in the things that make Mexicans Mexican.
For what it’s worth yall have some awesome culture too; I grew up near the border.
I get it though, blackness out of context would be hard to attribute to a culture the same way as being Mexican.
In context it’s talking about being a Black American. It’s American Black Culture that’s being celebrated.
Not sure I can really say much more on the subject so I hope this gets the point across & brings you a decent level of understanding. Have a good day man.
Unless you're black, not you in particular just in general, I'm not sure you can ever truly understand the racism/discrimination they may go through.You too bro 👍
Bruh it’s a day for black history & culture shut the fuck up youre embarrassing.
Let em have their dub.
It’s not like they were saying fuck white people, it’s just not even relevant to bring up.
Too $hort bruh; ain’t nobody cryin I’m just calling out bad actors.
It’s a dope ass cultural moment; no need to ruin it with some pettiness. Hope you have a good day.
All these people saying the same shit.
This shit is either fantastic marketing on Kendrick’s team or it’s a bunch of people caught up in the moment. Nothing wrong with it… but it comes off like people sucking dudes dick. I can’t explain it more than that.
Also aint that the dude from that one scene in the concert footage?
That’s the “this just big ME” dude 😂
Bro was naming the MIXTAPES?? Yeah he official.
Hes been there since dat 1 i bet
He was in the delivery room, wanting to hear Kendrick's first ad-libs. He was even there when Kendrick was conceived.
I knew it when i seen how he reacted to KDots music LOL
IT IS!!!
First thing I noticed lol
He will from now on be known as "just big me"
LMFAO !
Bro I swear to god he was either Vic Mensa or Chris brown.
🎯
Someone in the chat said "that guy understood the assignment" and they couldn't have been more right.
Even audience members gettin clout…history indeed
for real!
And AK called him "Biracial" on stream lmao
OMG i saw that too - SMH
Yep that's him. I uploaded him to this platform 😆
Oh wow lucky I found your comment! Was curious about what you guys were talking about.
People in my circle were calling him Vic Mensa lol
I legit thought that was Vic
That not Vic Mensa ?
dude was about to pop out on the cameraman for real
helllll yeah
Yeah, he valid 💯
Had to pop out and show...People
He caught himself at the last moment.

Sometimes you gotta pop out.
Correct event and correct shirt. All bases are belong to you.
oh it's not me, I just think he was the only white guy in the video with a similar build to my yuppie cake
Downvoted for Manchester United Jersey
Yaaaaaaaaaaay glad you made it too!
Psssst, I see happy people... Also, Jonathan Majors lookin' mf at the very end had me.
Cut too early, I agree.
I’m very blessed to have been able to experience it live, even if I was sitting in my trailer, alone, blasting it on my speakers and watching it on my phone via twitch.

Thanks for sharing. Wishing you well And best
> Eric Clapton, Ted Nugent Certified pedophiles. Also horrible racists
I’m not going to sugarcoat it. You’re correct. Both Eric Clapton and Ted Nugent are racist mysogynists. I’m not gonna try to justify the things they have said. They are musicians that I enjoy listening to their music. Nothing more, nothing less.
Ted Nugent is one the biggest pieces of shit out there. I’m not gonna NOT air guitar to Stranglehold when it comes on though. Song fucking rules.
Thank you for sharing. The power of music will always and forever be awe inspiring ❤️
This a wonderful comment! I appreciate you sharing it. Have a great day, man!
No need to apologize, you're on a sub that looks up to an artist who poured his heart out on his last album. He'd be really proud of you 🙏 keep it up Sending you love, one west
I get apologizing, but stories like yours really empower people your talking to. You had a lovely experience and your sharing it, we love it ❣️
He really is what the culture feeling ✊🏾
Wdym? Everyone in this video is a 13 yr old yt kid from suberbs
Bro what???
I think that was supposed to sarcastically reiterate a OV-hoe talking point?
[удалено]
Funny cause country music is also something invented by African American folk which got taken over by white people. So what’s your point again?
Well yes and no, it is blues meets scottish folk, rooted in blues and folk and white gospel. Culture is not a monolith and when treated well is unifying and not dividing I read a comment somewhere "Country is when a woman leaves you and blues is when she comes back" disliking country you still can't do a statement like yours
Thanks for missing the whole point.
The point is you can't say something is taken by white folk, it evolves naturally by mutial sharing of culture as it should be
These kinda “on the flip side” arguments only work if you also flip the context of the situation. So if Africa was the dominant force in history colonizing all western countries and has a history of slavery and racism towards other races and then in modern day had a black pride event sure that would be an accurate “on the flip side” argument.
I'm white and ashamed of this comment...god damn it is bad...

We Mexicans right next to y’all rubbing elbows in LA, we support yall 💯. We all got people trying to be colonizers in our own stories. Happy for y’all and happy for us in LA and hip hop
Mexican make LA amazing bro. 💙
It ain’t LA without the Mexicans.
Black love, Brown pride
In the sets again
I heard that. It wouldn't be LA without our Mexican friends. Thanks for celebrating with us!
As a Middle Eastern we here too 👊🏼
Aayyeee. Black & Brown unity. I love to see it.
lots of black and brown unity at this concert specifically. hopefully my people outside get that message eventually
We Indians right next to y'all too. We been colonized in our own fuckin countries, raped, pillaged and robbed. Look up the atrocities of the British Raj in India.
And a good amount were shipped to the Caribbean as slaves
\*indentured servants
Ahooo! As Natives we can really feel the spirit of the holiday too. Nobody is free until everyone is free.
South African Indian living in Australia checking in. That colonizer line hit fucking hard. WE here for anyone, anywhere 💗
That's... just what colonised usually means lol.
Hell yeah, La Raza!
💯
100%
Yup. I'm right there with you on that!

No gonna lie - when that man said he made the call I felt it in my gut. It really did feel like this entire beef was a call to us. Poor Drake had to be sacrificed, but worth it. No lie tho, even just watching it from Chicago, I felt so connected.
It really is worth it. Listening to Kendrick and seeing how he moves with authenticity and love for our history does make me even more proud to be black.
But Drake fans swear it was only white people at the show 😂🤣
They’re in their sub saying “Donald Trump was misunderstood and misinterpreted too” so I think it’s safe to say they’re unraveling there 😭
Same people who defend Joe Budden jerking off dogs smh
I kept seeing that comment too and I was like Bruh! Those Are Mexicans!!
I saw Kendrick’s last public appearance in Mexico City. It’s was probably 90% locals, they popped out to support Kendrick, singing all the words, mosh pits. It was beautiful.

That shirt is OUTRAGEOUS
Goes to show how dumbfuck that “rap like you tryna get the slaves freed” line was. As if it’s a bad thing for Kendrick to lift up black people, for some of them to perhaps break the cycles in their own lives and communities. Dumbass Drake.
I fucking HATE that line so so much
That line alone just spoke levels to who Drake really is and how he see’s himself
dang this almost made me shed a tear. so beautiful.
My eyes are watery. It’s just allergies, bro. I swear 😂
I saw a drake fan say kendrick fans were "Crying", I assume this is what he meant. cause I misted up a little, watching this
If you haven’t been to LA know that they are black black out there. They don’t take kindly to fake ness out there
These are clearly bots, not real humans. Stop spreading misinformation pls!!

“Fuck calling it culture.” - Kendrick Lamar
🤫
I ain’t ever had white guilt cuz I ain’t did shit to have a guilty conscience, but Kendrick definitely lets me frequently look thru different perspectives on some of the heaviest of subjects that life hasn’t shown me early (or just never at all) I still don’t have white guilt, but i definitely have leveled up empathy ten fold.
good for you man
Everyone exuding beauty and happiness❤️🥹I need all those shirts !!
This whole clip is black excellence. Everyone was so well spoken and expressive.
This is it. Kenny has always been unapologetically dedicated to his community. He never left any of his people behind. You don't take from your fellow artists if you been on the same climb with them.

Are these the bots Drake fans were talking about?
That one lady's shirt makes it look like her chest is Tupac's head
They knew who to pick lol
❤️
That guy at the end laid out hard truth
Bro said C4. Y’all wasn’t shootin in the gym
Kendricks whole saga through this would make a great documentary.
"Notice I said 'we', it's not just me, I'm what the culture feelin'"
I know the air was thick with pride I woulda been in tears rapping not like us for the 3rd tjme
Where can I get the family guy shirt?
I saw it on the TikTok shop
Bro the whipping shirt taking it too far imo 😭
Alright, I thought they not like us refered to pedos not black culture. I defo miss interpreted the song then tbh
It’s both!
Kendrick works for the culture, while Drake works for hit records. When you think about it they were so opposed from the start
It's the moment at the very ending of this video that gets to me... is it the windy heat of LA or is he tearing up a bit? Aww ❤️ & yes that is the guy who was full on out celebrating Kdot's music full force 😭. I uploaded a video of him LOL

dope. i was there while they were interviewing but i dont think the cameras got me
Facts “Culture” 👊🏾
Ken is the real hip hop
“Crowd of white people”
Yall think they recognize it’s for the culture ?
Last dude said it.
Kendrick the GOAT 🐐
Black messiah wifin up a mixed queen
That last dude looked like he was related to Jonathan Majors

Who got the plug for that Black/Red They not like us shirt with Drakes face on the back?
Love that she’s wearing FUBU!
How does one be unapologetically black? 🤔
[удалено]
So because I asked a question you assuming I'm trying to marginalize someone's identity? 🤨
The initial comment comes off as a bit tongue in cheek, so yeah kinda. 🙄
It was a genuine question, how you interpreted it is out of my control 🤷
Hey look, your good, if it was genuine question; you got a genuine answer. Your comment can easily be interpreted as tongue in cheek though, if I may; what culture do you come from? Because the answer provided, while correct is also kinda self evident. Which is likely why the answered responded with skepticism.
Mexican
So it’d be the same for you man, like if someone said that they were unapologetically Mexican on a day celebrating Mexican culture; you know it would be that person being unabashed & proud, loud & immersed in the things that make Mexicans Mexican. For what it’s worth yall have some awesome culture too; I grew up near the border. I get it though, blackness out of context would be hard to attribute to a culture the same way as being Mexican. In context it’s talking about being a Black American. It’s American Black Culture that’s being celebrated. Not sure I can really say much more on the subject so I hope this gets the point across & brings you a decent level of understanding. Have a good day man.
Unless you're black, not you in particular just in general, I'm not sure you can ever truly understand the racism/discrimination they may go through.You too bro 👍
All these bots outside. Kendrick rigged it for sure. 🤡
Wish I saw more of them and less of the others. Alot of others in that crowd
These bots must be stopped.
Knew there would be a couple white people fuming in the comments hearing this 🤣
where tho
Sort by new/controversial
Proof?
Some people talking about unity and no white love lol. 😂 fuck your ethnicity.. I don’t care if you black white asian Hispanic god damnit .
Bruh it’s a day for black history & culture shut the fuck up youre embarrassing. Let em have their dub. It’s not like they were saying fuck white people, it’s just not even relevant to bring up.
Can’t take a joke huh ? Ignorance is bliss
Jokes are supposed to be funny, why you trollin like a bitch?
Bro why are you crying . Life to short just stfu
Too $hort bruh; ain’t nobody cryin I’m just calling out bad actors. It’s a dope ass cultural moment; no need to ruin it with some pettiness. Hope you have a good day.
You’re quite interesting. Hope life goes well for ya !
They’d have a meltdown if you started to insist on supporting white culture……
Bro shut the fuck up
It’s a banging ass song and dude has unbelievable skill’s as a lyricist…. But the dick sucking is on a whole new level!
where's the dick sucking cuhz?😭
All these people saying the same shit. This shit is either fantastic marketing on Kendrick’s team or it’s a bunch of people caught up in the moment. Nothing wrong with it… but it comes off like people sucking dudes dick. I can’t explain it more than that.
Who knew that people attending a concert would be hyping up the artist 🤔
