When Kendrick Lamar shuts you down, he does it so effortlessly
In other news, Fox News is still at it. Their target this time, TDE’s Kendrick Lamar. King Kendrick opened up Sunday’s BET Awards with his song, “Alright” which he performed on top of a police car. Fox correspondent Geraldo Rivera had this to say about the performance,
“…this is why I say that hip hop has done more damage to young African-Americans than racism in recent years.”
Via TMZ Live today, Lamar reacted to Rivera’s comment ever-so matter-of-factly. No disrespect, simply Kendrick.
“This is our music. This is us expressing ourselves. Rather [than] going out here and doing the murders myself, I want to express myself in a positive light the same way other artists are doing. Not going out in the streets, go in the booth and talking about the situation and hoping these kids can find some type of influence on it in a positive manner. Coming from these streets and coming from these neighborhoods, we’re taking our talents and putting ’em inside the studio.”
Perhaps Rivera may want to take a look at Kendrick’s “Alright” video then reevaluate the “and we hate po po” lyric.
