Twitter is currently attempting to cancel both J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar — and on the Compton MC’s 33rd birthday no less. But it looks like all the hooting and hollering might’ve cost his fans Kendrick’s follow-up to 2017’s Pulitzer Prize-winning album DAMN.
On Wednesday (June 17), Top Dawg Entertainment president Terrence “Punch” Henderson Jr. responded to a comment from a fan urging him to “tell Kendrick it’s time for the real to return.”
He swiftly crushed any hope for his comeback with, “Nah. Niggas don’t appreciate it.”
Hip Hop fans have been clamoring for a new Kendrick album since the collector’s edition of DAMN. arrived in December 2017. Just last month, Top Dawg CEO Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith providing an update on the project’s progress during an Instagram Live session and made it sound like K. Dot’s return was imminent.
“Stay patient,” he wrote in the comment section. “King Kendrick will return soon.”
Kendrick Lamar Joins NBA Stars At Compton George Floyd Protest
Kendrick found himself caught up in Twitter’s outrage over his perceived silence on police brutality following Tuesday night’s (June 16) release of Cole’s new single “Snow On Tha Bluff.” While Kendrick is never active on social media, many people found his silence troubling.
But the Grammy Award-winning MC has spotted on the frontlines at protests around his hometown of Compton as recently as June 7. Cole also participated in a protest in his hometown of Fayetteville, North Carolina late last month, just days after the police killing of 46-year-old Black man George Floyd.
I’m not saying this over hiphop but in general, theirs having valuable concerns and then just out right complaining, people were complaining about kendrick not speaking or protesting which he later did do but who gives A FLYING F…..why do yall need celebrities or others to promote what we as a people can do ourselves, kendrick built his career on positive messages but people still complain smh, nothing will ever be good enough for some.
This was exactly what Nas spit on Black Zombies 20 years ago. Why you need black leaders? Nobody else has leaders except people in these authoratarian countries and shit. Stop looking for some savior to take you somewhere when shit is simple. If you got problems with something, organize and protest it, and the bigger way to protest anything is through economic power. Standing outside and singing kumbaya isn’t changing shit.
That’s why Nas is my favorite rapper at that, it’s really that simple, we’re all independent leaders coming together making a strong message
People will complain about anything these days. People don’t remember TPAB? Put some respect on the mans name
Let’s not cancel and if the lil whatever’s who have contributed to the dumbing down of the culture, let’s not cancel any of the new age female rappers encouraging our women to see themselves as objects and to try and meet european beauty standards. Let’s not cancel any if the basic rappers that we have low expectations of, let’s cancel the two most prominent positive rappers of this generation.
Thought this moment was about unifying to fight the oppression of black folk, but some would rather continue shift narratives and argue amongst ourselves for likes and retweets. Shits lame.
It’s a shame that if you don’t put anything on social media denouncing anything you’re considered silent on a topic. Weird as fuck…
I’m not a massive Kendrick fan but please don’t set a precedence and give Twitter that kind of power. They’re a bunch of inbreds trying to gang fuck a car exhaust, they deserve no respect or acknowledgement. The only thing that should be “cancelled” is their oxygen supply (or Internet, its the same thing to them).
If they got rid of twitter and Facebook and took these sad, unemployed, triggered pussys platform to complain away I bet life would even out a little.
Or if they took the comment section away from racist white boys on hip hop sites.
@I like … not one word in the original comment had anything to do with race … only one sounding racist is you … white people have been apart of hip-hop since it’s inception and is the majority of its actual consumers … and white people have also been standing besides black people in their fight since slavery … which was started by Hispanic, African, and Persian cultures … stop generalizing a whole race racist
Good stuff
Welcome to 2020, shit get taken out of context now bro.
Suck a dick u bitch
You being a triggered pussy that thinks they are hero’s by trying to cancel ppl like only a true coward and broken shell of a man would makes me a racist? hahahahsha
Oops. Here you go fucko.
So being a triggered pussy that thinks they are hero’s by trying to cancel ppl like only a true coward and broken shell of a man would, makes me a racist? hahahahsha
fuck off
Now Punch, I’ma call bullshit. Our appreciation helped get Kendrick a Pulitzer. Let these assholes cancel everything in their lives and wind up without any sense of joy or meaning in their pathetic little worlds. A lot of us out here know better and the support shows it. Tell Kenny to hit us with it.
After the “1619 Project” the Pulitzer Prize don’t mean very much anymore.
Nope this is fake news
Dude had a whole album about this type of shit, so I do understand people being upset if your image is on some black empowerment tip but now we don’t hear from you. Then again…he made a whole album about this type of shit. It’s cool though, he’s been propped up as this new age Nas so….
If people need to hear from him on social media then y’all can go be someone else’s “fan”. Talking on social media don’t mean shit. His actions and music speak for themselves, if you think he’s gonna appease you by tweeting some bullshit you might as well go on somewhere. His true fans know what he’s about and what he stands for. Nuff said.
shut up kendrick been supportin us
Being canceled on Twitter doesn’t mean shit. Why don’t they seriously come after garbage like Cardi B who admitted to drugging men and robbing them? How many of those men were black?
How many of those men even exist? Nobody even tried to sue her for that shit or claimed that they were drugged or robbed by Cardi. She lied just to seem like she was tougher than what she really is. And if we’re canceling rappers that rob people or comitted crimes, then Cardi needs to wait in line anyway.
Are you serious no dude going to come forward sayn yeah I was the sucka got robbed by the likes of Cardi.
She trash and needs to be cancelled.
Those are the liberal niggas complaining. Just ignore they fake woke asses. Stop worrying about what the next man doing and do your part.
Man people suck. Acting like Kendrick doesn’t support his people. Imagine needing that kind of validation. His work speaks for itself. Take a listen and you’ll know where he stands
Soooo both MCs were seen at the protest. IN THE STREETS! NO SECURITY! NO BS! Just them and the streets and we are trying to cancel them because………
This type of article is why he isn’t on social media. Everone has turned into cry baby’s. If you dont like someones music or politics than dont listen. WTF has happened to our country. Cancel Culture? More like Wussy Culture. I cant breath either.
Yep!
Everyone Needs to be out Protesting Right Now in every State . Police using agression and making false arrest, the Hanging of Black Men, Shooting , Beating and abusing of Black Women and children. This seems to be treanding topic but I found it very disturbing and sickening to see and read. This must be stopped!!
Why do we need celebrity input anyway
I hope everyone gets plowed in their poopers
