Sexist? Kendrick Lamar Criticised Over New Single ‘Humble’

Published: Monday 3rd Apr 2017 by David

Do men have a habit of trying to police women’s style and sexuality?

Unfortunately, the answer to this question is…yes.

The latest man accused of following this problematic trend?

The lyrical genius that is Kendrick Lamar.

I’m so sick and tired of the Photoshop
Show me somethin’ natural like afro on Richard Pryor
Show me somethin’ natural like ass with some stretch marks
Still will take you down right on your mama’s couch in Polo socks, ayy

The lyrics above appear on the rapper’s new single ‘Humble’ and criticise society’s unhealthy and often unrealistic standards of beauty.

Alas, despite agreeing that this is a problem, several Pop spectators have stepped out to question Lamar’s supposed bashing of women who choose adhere to said standards.

Do you agree?
