This past year's "beef" between Kendrick Lamar and Drake was nothing more than a contrived plot in order to distract the masses from the genocide in Gaza. Both rappers are signed to labels which are under the umbrella of UMG which is owned by ultra-Zionist Lucian Grainge. Every stream from Kendrick's music is being used to fund Zionist genocide of Palestinians. But this goes far deeper and I'm entirely convinced Kendrick Lamar is being covertly funded and propped up by the CIA.
Starting in the 1940s the CIA launched the Congress for Cultural Freedom, a think-tank designed to channel funds into the anti-Soviet left. They funded intellectuals, musicians and artists who appeared "leftist" but were actually anti-Marxist and anti-proletarian. This included propping up hideous and meaningless modern "art" as a means of alienating the working-class from the arts and ensuring art could only be appreciated by pompous cultured elites.

Hip hop is primarily an anti-working class genre of "music," made by the black lumpenproletariat AKA the criminal underclass. Marx pointed out how the lumpen are an adversary of the genuine working-class, used by the elite classes to offset class struggle. The lumpen in no way threaten the power of cultured elites, hence why they use the lumpen as a substitute revolutionary subject. The Ivory Tower loves and pushes hip hop for this exact reason.
Now Kendrick has been receiving an unbelievable number of accolades for the past 12 years. He's won a Pulitzer Prize and upheld as the greatest cultural icon of recent history. Why? Because as American workers are starting to rise up, CIA-backed intellectuals promote rap as a way to offset any true proletarian culture from emerging.

(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)>>14155Dismissing an entire music genre offhand is idealism to the extreme, not to mention extremely closeminded. And I'm saying that as someone who thinks the vast majority of hip-hop is unlistenably bad.
>>14585It really does thoughbeit.
>>14591 (me)
I want to make it clear that I like this stuff mostly because I think it looks nice, not for its content.
>>14555Not Like Us is soft shit.
This is what a real evil diss track sounds like.
>>14589I think the Stasi were clued into a specific dynamic at work with subcultures like this. The "exchange of information and ideas" part means these people liked to have venting sessions to their West German anarchist peers if they had a chance, bonding over how it's
literally Nazism if your country isn't completely americanized yet.
It literally doesn't matter if any of them ever were CIA stooges. The western part of their subculture was shaped in such a way as to facilitate extraction of intelligence about the east and insertion of cultural trends that led to an eventual colour revolution. Just by being innocently part of that culture they were being instrumentalized. Ever since 1989 you will notice every single colour revolution trying to recapture the spirit and self-image of being a punk in oppressive East Germany, regardless if that has any basis in reality. They tried to pull this in the already Libtard-occupied Georgia ruled by a Pro-EU party.
>>14572The CIA bungles just as many operations as it wins.
They spent $6 MILLION installing a camera and microphone into a cat as part of a spy mission, only to see the cat get hit by a car.
They also tried to assassinate Castro hundreds of times only for comrade Fidel to basically die of old age.
Anyone who thinks the CIA is some all-powerful puppeteer is literally retarded.
>>14572>The wing of the CIA funding NYU and Kendrick's record labelEVERY SINGLE FUCKING GOVERNMENT funds universities and the arts.
University profs writing books on hip hop's greatest and TDE "receiving money from the CIA" means very little to nothing.
>>14673Should also say that Bob Dylan was Woodie Guthrie’s most famous disciple. Dylan worshipped Guthrie.
Reminds me of the CPUSA-bubbe/Likuduyghrandson trope that’s become all too frequent with American Jews. Interesting how easily the authoritarian left breeds the authoritarian right.
>>14692Six.
He won six Grammy awards tonight.
Just wanted to leave this Plebbit post here about the notion that the CIA "invented" modern art:
https://www.reddit.com/r/badhistory/comments/ifnq9v/the_cia_and_modern_art/?utm_source=amp&utm_medium=&utm_content=post_bodyTL;DR – the CIA (and CCF) was simply funding anything that was American, rather than having any kind of real stylistic choices.
