lacriminalAny revolutionary rapper, I'm curious
As much as its cliche at this point Tupac counts imo
Most of public enemy
I think there's a tier of "revolutionary rappers" who threw their fame away by making political messages when on top of the world
Mos Def/Yasin Bey
Lupe
Getting ether'd by a YouTube video essayist.
What a time.

Pre Death Row I agree but towards the end of his life Pac was definitely becoming a hyper capitalist and Hollywood's darling (his later interviews confirm as such, "without money you can't build a nation")
the same Chuck D working with the US State Department?
As much as I'm a fan of both Yasiin and Lupe, none of them is comparable to a Fela Kuti who literally went at his country's own police force tbh.

Mike has been sneak dissing FD & his mentor Dr. Ball for years, including bringing FDs wife & kids into it for some reason, so he's busting back

Killer Mike a clown. He couldn't just be a happy Black sellout and ignore people complaining about him being a capitalist like 50 Cent and Jay Z do. And it's because deep down Killer Mike himself knows he's on some bullshit, so he's defensive about it.

1996 BRL· editedI kinda fell back from FD & especially Lil Bill
No major issue with FD tbh although I'm just not really as interested in his stuff much these days
& Lil Bill let me down with that lil mild controversy he had about Isfaek (with that video where he was sounding like a liberal zionist) & how he addressed the backlashFor black culture adjacent stuff I like Is The Mic Still On & the occasional DEHH live/conversation, Open Mike Eagle is great
Culture United is alright too,Diallo Kenyatta is good for social/political/black issues + the Earn Your Liberation show
I mess with Jared Ball/IMixWhatILike although he approaches things like a serious scholar which isn't always very engaging (although he has more energy on EYL) & some of the Black Liberation Media stuff, Jacquie Luqman can be good, sometimes Rosa ClementeNever jived with Lil Bill, and the Lib zio nonsense he was spewing makes sense when you learn that dude used to be a preacher or some s*** lol. Evangelicals peddle that poison on the regular
