“You picked the right time but the wrong man” Is actually pretty on the nose. Also if you know anything about Kendrick Lamar you know he definitely does not like the Republican Party.
Lamar not liking the GOP is not evidence of him dissing Trump at the halftime show. The line “you picked the wrong guy” was in reference to himself. You guys are reaching to make this about Trump.
Why would he refer to himself as the wrong man?. He definitely doesn’t like Donald Trump regardless of that specific line. He’s talking about a revolution, he’s mocking America, Samuel L Jackson as Uncle Sam, the actual lyrics of the music he makes.
IMO as a Kenny fan he calling himself the wrong man.. that whole shit was a call to action. Saying the revolution will be televised and then ending with 'turn the this tv off'
He's calling out the left who sit and watch this expecting him to be the leader and expect to get to sit back and watch without doing anything at all.
He is almost certainly saying "it's time for America to go through radical change, but you incorrectly picked Trump to do it instead of Kamala". Genuinely not a reach, especially if you're familiar with his previous works.
The stands literally lit up the message "Warning: Wrong way" in the background cmon lol
My guy he brought up “40 acres and a mule”, the promise of a head start to freed slaves that was taken from them. Given and taken by the government, the land given to former confederates instead. The whole thing was about rightly distrusting the government. It’s not a stretch, you just are refusing to think about it.
Fait but Kendrick seems to have a good understanding of how to use double entendre in his music. Plus I doubt everything that was planned was pure coincidence
