He was playing an antagonist character (way toned down but think of his character in Django) so they might have agreed with his take.

Sam kept urging Kendrick not to make a scene, not to make a fuss, just to stay nice and quiet. Clearly meant to be a baddie but likely lost on a lot of viewers.

Incidentally, I’ve heard the Fox News crowd is currently butthurt about Kendrick’s backup crew/dancers not being “diverse” enough because they wanted more white people in it. So yeah, I don’t think they got it. To be fair though, it’s hard to get people to read between the lines when they have a 3rd-grade reading level.

He said in another comment he's already working on it.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Looks great on him.

Saving this for a response to the next rant some con gives.

I'm told it was actually a deeply political message, however, I can never understand what the fuck Kendrick is saying in his songs.

I'll have up look up the lyrics later I guess.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I can't even say much about the lyrics. I just know that it was packed with symbolism and it was awesome having Samuel L. acting as Uncle Sam trying to tell Kendrick "what to do" and of course being ignored.

[–] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Brilliant on so many levels.

[–] lazylion_ca@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

You know you doin' something right when you got Samuel L Jackson as your hype man.
