art doesn’t typically cause immediate political change but it can bolster and help it along. many examples:
sinead o’connor in suport of victims of the catholic church
the cranberries in support of ireland
spike lee in support of victims of police brutality
bob dylan and others became representative of the anti war movement
when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. is kendrick going to fix america? fuck no lol, but giving a voice to human dignity and class consciousness cannot hurt. in the same way me writing this comment ain’t gonna do shit but it sure cannot hurt.
so anyone who read this far, i highly recommend looking into analysis of the performance by Black creators. hopefully you can find some new community and engage in support with those folk. :)
Kendrick seems like he’s becoming, for black people, what artists like Johnny Cash and Woody Guthrie were for white people. I don’t think that should be minimized. Artists may not be out fighting on their own, but they bring people together and I think music in particular has a really powerful effect of bringing people together for a purpose. Musicians have become the faces of movements many times before.
yuh yuh
