Watching white tumblr users interact with black things is funny because they will always misapprehend things and just generally be reductivist.

So I’m seeing a lot of people going “haha Kendrick got awards for being a hater,” “Drake lost so bad lol.”

And I’m just massaging my temples at the irony of nonblack people en masse misunderstanding a song called “They not like us.”

Kendrick has a whole verse in the song breaking down the commodification of blackness and the history of colonization apropos to Black Americans. That’s what the whole Drake beef was about btw. It was about Drake’s pattern of ripping off black culture just to peddle it to the uncaring masses and make millions off of it, while the smaller artists he steals from get no recognition (money). Drake was getting called the rap goat by nonblack people, he was getting looked at as the greatest in a tradition he has no roots in. Kendrick’s distaste for Drake was years in the making. FdSignifier has some great vids from like 2020 about Drake’s rise in the rap world. There’s also Pusha T’s diss from 2018 called “The story of Adidon.” My point is, Drake is a culture vulture and the Drake v. Kdot beef was about reclaiming what Drake (and other culture vultures) stole.

Drake is also problematic for other reasons, e.g. sexually exploiting women, allegedly participating in sex trafficking, and so on.

It does a disservice to Kdot’s message to reduce this beef to an apolitical 1v1. It was never a 1v1, it was always political, it was always about the broader culture, it was always a culture war, etc.

Denzel Curry concert was crazy. Some guy was searching for his lost gucci slide. The 2nd time I saw him he had the lost one on but the original slide was gone

(12/35) THE VERSION I HOPE TO GIVE TO CURRY (w/ 454)

And just like that, after working on this literally throughout the night and with a poster print ordered only minutes ago, that I was able to put together something presentable to hopefully give to Denzel Curry before, or after the Vancouver Show on the 3rd of May! Thankfully the night gifts you with plenty of hours, so in that time I was able to add:

a fully rendered 454, just after peeping the shiny black Lexus that Ari Lennox and Baby Tate are lying on, and liking what he's seeing

specially tinted shadows for each rapper, related to their zodiac sign

a title right below the big Denzel and JID

a vignette that also functions as a fat ass signature/watermark, so I don't have to worry about dotting them all around the poster

While I do plan on gifting this version physically to Zeltron himself, like I mentioned before on the previous post, this will not be the last time I touch this project; I do have plans to finish drawing/rendering all 35 rappers/producers detailed in the first draft, after the 11th of May has passed, and I hopefully gift another one of my signature posters to Geordie Greep when he eventually comes to town. That being said, I'll see how much I can rest for the day before the main event, cause lord knows I'll need it once ULTIMATE starts quaking in the mosh pit.

More to come later, but soon...
