rap is just sponsorship now

The population is getting dumber and a large part of ppl don't want to think at all when they engage with art it's kind of sad. They just want to be able to turn their brain off after a hard day of work which I get but man there needs to be some sort of comeback lol

Yes definitely. But it used to be that more or less every artist had passion for music even the s*** ones it is simply not the case anymore

YG/Shoreline Mafia said f*** ICE for a hot minute at concerts here in SoCal since the summer. and dropped a song or two trying to resonate and uplift the mexican community in LA all the way up. but i just figured the feeling would be strong since its southern california

pretty sure they still do but yeah i cant quite find other examples lol.

right message, maybe the wrong messenger.

we do need some political music this year... desperately.

Cause rappers are complete dumbasses only in it for the money

Kinda crazy how indicting this is of jay z and a lot of rap moguls attitude regarding the culture

This is a real mindset

its happening regardless of him engaging in these conversations or commenting against them but i get it its fun to shoot a messenger

They shut that down quick, the audacity of this nigga lol

I mean fair but also he is right on the merits in this vid

Joe Budden is the worst messenger because he does everything he says he’s against but Joe fans always find the silver lining to defend they mans

the nigga said he’d never compromise to ads

“I always put the creator first” and was hiding the accounting

now this while actively laughing at MLH saying “all the people I worked with in Palestine are now dead”

yea ight bro

Hey man, J Cole did a whole ICE punchline!

Damn got em

Ice is dumb as hell. "It's effecting white people"

It's mostly Hispanics and then black people. Overwhelmingly

Damn he right

#streetsisdone

Yea you could see it with the new underground fans

I think a lot of these kids are into it just for the memes, not the actual music

They haven’t been shy about going after the Haitians and the Somalians but I can guess some people are only concerned about the “ADOS”/African-Americans vs. non-American Black migrants discourse

Similar dynamic affects the Latinos too

tf is A U$ian

Bread and circuses

im guessing it's United $tatesian

Some Real s*** ngl

fkn stupid. s*** pisses me off
