Kendrick Lamar Faces Feminist Backlash For Misogynistic “Humble” Lyrics

It’s arguing time!

Last night, Kendrick Lamar released his jaw-dropping music video for the first single off his currently unnamed album due to release on April 7 (hopefully)

“Humble”, produced by MikeWillMadeIt, was applauded and lauded by a vast majority of listeners, and the Dave Meyers (and the Little Homies) directed video added a another layer of excitement for Kendrick fans.

That said, not everyone was happy with one particular part of the song where Kung-Fu Kenny chided women who throw on a filter and use “photoshop” to alter photos of their bodies for social media approval:

I’m so f**king sick and tired of the photoshop, show me something natural like afros on Richard Pryor

Feminist tweeters immediately sprang into action to condemn Kendrick for his fake wokeness and perpetuating of misogynist themes.

Oh, this was just the beginning. Flip it over to see the white hot intersectional outrage AND the dissenting opinions.

I'm sorry but Kendrick Lamar's new single is spewing some hotep rhetoric and it's becoming really hard for me to stan him here's why:

Kendrick has a rather patronizing, shallow way of looking at situations relating to women. I wish I could tell him about himself lol

You guys just can't handle that people (namely women) don't like Kendrick despite his benevolent, incense coated misogyny

All that said, not everyone is so outraged at Cornrow Kenny. We saw several women passing out “sit down” cards in 140 characters or less…

I think that some of the critiques of Kendrick's video are flawed and lacking nuance/reason. But the critiques OF the critiques are worse.

How dare Kendrick Lamar tell women he finds them beautiful in their most natural state!

How dare he!

Kendrick: Embrace your natural beauty. The hair and skin you were born in are beautiful.

They said Kendrick out here rapping instead of being a detective and for that he should be ashamed of himself.

People (on here) act like Kendrick and other rappers are obligated to talk about whatever you feel is important. Chill.

Kendrick said he like natural bodies… where is the problem…. 99% of y’all can’t afford surgery so why are you upset

Kendrick did prove at least one thing. Anything positive for the African Diaspora is deemed Hotep.
