He is taking on racist tropes, cultural and artistic appropriation, global anti-blackness, misogyny, pdf-ers, disloyalty to the art form, disloyalty to supporters, the list goes on. It takes layers address all this harm.

Where some were saying that K.Dot's diss was central to the performance, I couldn't square that with the clear political and Pro-Black message. Now I get it. They are one in the same thing. Kendrick isn't "destroying" Drake over a simple beef.

But seeing the multiple layers, the biting imagery, his uplifting and dignifying Black Americans in all aspects. There is no other way to put it, I have a deep and fettered respect for what he is doing. There is just something so special about #KendrickLamar and this moment.

Don't lie; You sent him to save us.
