Okay so here's the thing:

1. I disagree with "the album itself is great," and from some of his responses in that original thread it seems like 8bit does too. But that's unrelated to the social part. So

2. You're reading 8bit's original post like the problem is white people listening to Kendrick. It's not. The problem is that the album was manufactured for, in 8bit's words, "fake-ass white hipsters that want to be 'down' with the movement that they have no understanding of and no interest in fixing."

If you want to talk on the level of lyrical content about why TPAB is legitimately about black struggle, go for it, but it might be a little hard when Kendrick's out there saying shit like "when we don't have respect for ourselves, how do we expect them to respect us?"
