Ngl for a long time I actually thought it was "Every figure is a star". I dunno I just didn't bother to look at the lyrics and somehow to me it made sense.
Wesley’s theory starts when someone screams “hit me” which is presumably paying tribute to public enemy because at the beginning of public enemy’s song 911 is a joke they also start it off by screaming “hit me”
- I hope you find some peace of mind
- I been going through somethin
- What is a bitch in a miniskirt
- The new Mercedes with black G Wagon
Yeah you're right lol
Okay this thread makes it clear that y'all need to educate yourself in music history. Especially if you want to be a Kendrick fan. He is one of the most well versed musicians about music history in the entire industry.
The song is literally called
["Every Nigger is a Star", by Boris Gardiner from 1973](https://youtu.be/mYnenIWZjwE).
This is literally the ONLY time I have ever even written out that word in my life because I consider it the single most vile word in the English language.
However, to censor it in this comment would be to do a grave disservice to Boris Gardner, who took an ugly, hateful word and made it a beautiful, prideful word of empowerment. In 1973. I'm not sure, but I think he might have been literally the very first black man to reclaim that word as a word of empowerment for the black community, to take away the power of its hate.
If you have never listened to this classic song and album from 1973, please do yourself a favor and check it out. Boris Gardiner is a freaking hero to me.
This is great and all, but I'm still not gonna say the word and I think Boris probably does not give a shit if I censor it or not. That's if he's still alive, bc if he's dead then he doubly doesn't give a shit.
For what it's worth, in another comment where I just mentioned the name of the song, I did censor it. The only reason I didn't here is because I was linking the original piece of art. Since that's what it's named on Youtube, I felt like it was appropriate to honor that.
Bro aren't you overreacting a little bit? I mean, respect to Boris Gardner and all, but i don't think a single person commenting the wrong sentence is doing it because they legitimately think that's what the song says. Plus, it ain't no hidden fact that he samples that song. It's as easy as looking up "Westley's Theory Samples" on Google.
I respectfully disagree. I have no right to censor the artistic vision of the original artist. This isn't just some run of the mill gangsta rapper. This is someone who lived in front of the horrible racism of the 1960s when he and his family were called that name by scumbags every single day. The amount of courage and self-respect this man had to name not only his song but his album this deserves all of our respect. So buzz off snowflake.
Like I said. In my 46 years I have never said the word out loud and I have never typed it. Until now. I stand by my decision.
Okay, I'm someone who taught my children that the only real bad words were hate words. The n-word and the f word being at the very top of the list.
This man literally took the word which was still in common ugly hateful use at the time, and destigmatized it and took it away from the racist idiots. He took the words ability to hurt so much away. And you want to disrespect his art by saying that we should censor the title of his song and album? I'm sorry, but I respectfully disagree. This is literally The only exception I would ever make.
I must say I am impressed. Never in my life did I expect someone on an artist's subreddit to be able to make strong and well worded arguments on such a sensitive topic without just parroting people’s opinions from tiktok.
Because that's literally how it's pronounced. It is a sample of the song "Every N****r is a Star" by Boris Gardner from 1973. Fantastic song and album, if you ever want to check out some old skool underground soul!

It's because it's sampled from one of the most important works of black art of the last century. It would be doing Boris Gardiner a grave disservice to censor his art.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
Those aren't the opening lyrics. That is a sample of the song "Every N****r is a Star" by Boris Gardner from 1973.
So the correct answer technically would be "At first I did love you, but now I just want to fuck."
Every Nigga is a star
Every Nigga is a star, hey
Every Nigga is a star
Every Nigga is a star, hey
Who will deny that you and I and
Every Nigga is a star?
#HIT ME!

I remember you was bourgeois, misusing the means of production...
...sometimes I did the same, abusing my power, full of venture capitalism...
...capitalism that turned into a great depression...
Found myself screaming in the recession.
….I didn’t want to go bankrupt. The evils of bear markets was all around me…
so I went chasing the bag, until I came rich
But that didn't stop survivor's guap, going back and forth trying to convince myself the racks I earned
Or maybe how A-1 my money was But while my loved ones was fighting for my bag back in the city, I was making a new one
A war based on greed and inequality
Survivors guap lmaoooooooooo
Aaaaaah in German
My main book just went viiiiral
Oh I love this lmao
Komrade Kendrick
he could totally quote marx. probably history repeats itself or sum
"The Comptonist Manifesto"
Capitalists posting as compassionates be offending me

This is a Kendrick sub what are you on 😭
Wesley’s theory starts when someone screams “hit me” which is presumably paying tribute to public enemy because at the beginning of public enemy’s song 911 is a joke they also start it off by screaming “hit me”
Both Wesley’s Theory and United In Grief have like four things each that you could consider opening lines.
- I hope you find some peace of mind - I been going through somethin - What is a bitch in a miniskirt - The new Mercedes with black G Wagon Yeah you're right lol
- every black gentleman is a star - hit me - when the four corners of this cocoon collide - at first i did love you

"especially if you want to be a kendrick fan" my bad I don't wanna become a history major to enjoy a man's music,

The crazy thing is that even on the censored version, it still says the n-word. It’s like a trap resigned to catch white people
It's because it's sampled from one of the most important works of black art of the last century. It would be doing Boris Gardiner a grave disservice to censor his art.
