I have a dream. Kendrick 1.20.25

I have a dream: On MLK/inauguration Day: Jan 20. Kendrick drops a new song that’s political, savage, and even informative. It gets big, people want to see it at the Super Bowl. 

He wears a suit at some point during the show. Presidential, civil rights vibes. And in honor of Malcolm, like “reincarnated 2” (he died in February).

Plus he has on some crazy jewelry to follow up his crown of thorns. Embrace the “black savior” criticism, and have like silver knuckles. Polished spikes representing crucifixion. Replicas of the Washington monument, in remembrance of MLK and defiance of Trump. Taking the “reincarnated” theme to different people. They stay in place enough: so when he holds his fist up from a certain angle it looks like he’s flipping off the camera. 

That would be cold. Maybe that’s expecting too much 😂

I’ll just settle for the Rock giving the performance of a lifetime as MLK. In a savage satire, where he doesn’t even try to look like King. But it’s historically accurate. He plays MLK even in high school. Why does he skip two grades? He’s advanced for his age! He gets beat up by smaller white guys, but sometimes has PTSD nightmares where he goes on a rampage. Maybe UFC’s Rampage Jackson plays John Lewis. They start slamming racists on the sidewalk. 

Where it deviates from history is having Nicholas Irving, the elite sniper, play Stokely Carmichael (Mr Black Power + black panther + black fist image) and himself. Have Carmichael work closer with the Black Panthers, who came from his ideas and logo. At the end…

King might not like the sound of this 🤔
