That's all I'm saying. I just think the song got hijacked a little too fast actually. It wasn't even a few days old and you had politicians and corporate sponsors who were mocking the song by using it as some cool Black measuring stick.

I just....................as a Black person and someone who knows Hip Hop/Rap culture, I will never be cool with the people who are the premise of the song flipping it and co-opting it into a mockery of not only Hip Hop but Black culture in general. That's wild as fuck too me.

Swag Surf is a great example but it's still just a party song so while I still think that it's corny how it has also been hijacked (Falcons games lol) it's not that deep.

hearing Down 4 My Niggas at every Alabama game with a team full of Black players in a racist red state before players were even getting paid made me not wanna play the song at all.

Not Like Us doesn't even mean what it was supposed to mean anymore because "They" hijacked it and put their foot down on the gas with the mockery which sucks because Kendrick is what most people see as the perfect representation of Hip Hop and Rap in general.

HBO MAX mocking Drake and co-opting NLU after they cut almost all of their Black content is the type of shit I'm taking about.

We can't gatekeep that song as much as we would like to

Absolutely. It's always funny seeing how some of these things cycle though. I swear when Alabama is playing Down 4 My Niggas and the camera pans to the chubby middle-aged white guy with a 3XL Roll Tide t-shirt on top of his Dillards button-up while his jumping around, I fucking lose it lololololololololol
 
NLU is as big as it is because the people who are NLU are keeping it alive.

The play Down 4 My Niggas at Alabama home games and you can't tell white people in Alabama that Down 4 My Niggas ain't their song.

Look at who NLU is appealing to. The people capitalizing on it are the ones who are NLU.

I think y'all are confusing my comments as me hating. I'm not hating. I'm just stating that at its core. NLU as a song was hijacked by non-Black people and the song itself gets celebrated and acknowledged not for the reasons it was made.
You can say this for literally ANY rap song that blow up. You ain't really saying nothing man.
