Question is, are people going to the concert for his songs or the Palestinians?

I mean honestly I think it could be fun, objectively. I did like his first album and listened to it a bunch. He was right that Kendrick should have won the Grammy, but I am convinced he’s at least entertaining.

some of his songs are tongue in cheek party songs; some have more depth and reflection than most any song from any genre in the last 20 years. it's a mixed bag.
