nobody here is mainstream except nas and it’s not like he really makes “issues of the world” type music he’s just an articulate street rapper…lmao

Not wildfires man. Your first ed statement bro

you dont consider wildfires a social issue?

realistically, what do you want him to say or shed light on in a song about the Hawaii wildifres?

You could write a song about anything - if you find a slick way to do it/or have a interesting perspective on a specific issue and manage to simultaneously make it sound good why not. I don’t think limiting art like that is healthy. 2Pac made a whole song about his gun with Me and My Girlfriend and that s*** is a classic

I don‘t listen to no autumn if I‘m being honest I‘m not saying he NEEDS to speak on this issues. You made a generalizing statement that some societal/political issues shouldn’t belong in a hip hop song

I mean any rapper, even Cole

that was somebody else saying that statement, not me

(Verse 1)
Yeah, J Cole on the mic, let's talk Hawaii
Where the flames ignite, it's a tragic sight to see
Wildfires burnin', the land in devastation
Nature's cry for help, a painful situation

From the lush green valleys to the palm tree shores
Hawaiian islands under fire, it hits to the core
The beauty of the land, now consumed by the flames
Communities displaced, tryna survive the game

(Chorus)
Hawaiian wildfires, a burning desire
But we won't let it take us down, we'll rise higher
United we stand, hand in hand, we'll fight
To protect this paradise, with all our might

(Verse 2)
In the land of aloha, where paradise resides
Fire's spreading fast, while tears fall from our eyes
The smoke fills the air, obscuring the sun
But the spirit of Hawaii won't be undone

Communities come together, lending a helping hand
Bringing hope and strength, united we withstand
The firefighters brave, battling through the night
Risking their lives, defending what's right

(Chorus)
Hawaiian wildfires, a burning desire
But we won't let it take us down, we'll rise higher
United we stand, hand in hand, we'll fight
To protect this paradise, with all our might

(Verse 3)
Let's raise awareness, spread the word afar
Protecting Mother Earth, it's who we truly are
Preserving nature's wonders, for generations to come
Rebuilding what's lost, under the Hawaiian sun

From the volcanic peaks to the ocean's blue
Hawaii's resilience, shining bright and true
In the face of adversity, we'll never back down
Standing tall, proud, in this island crown

(Chorus)
Hawaiian wildfires, a burning desire
But we won't let it take us down, we'll rise higher
United we stand, hand in hand, we'll fight
To protect this paradise, with all our might

(Bridge)
So let's come together, lend a helping hand
For the Hawaiian islands, let's make a stand
Through the smoke and the flames, we'll find a way
To heal the land, bring back a brighter day

(Chorus)
Hawaiian wildfires, a burning desire
But we won't let it take us down, we'll rise higher
United we stand, hand in hand, we'll fight
To protect this paradise, with all our might

Yeah, J Cole, standing with Hawaii strong
In the face of wildfires, we'll keep pushing on
Nature's resilient, and so are we
Together we'll rebuild, from the ashes we'll be free

Oh sorry I mixed y‘all up because of your white avy

@heykunai

autumn - Let Cole Down

Can we talk about the political and economical state of the world rn

Who the f***, moreso, why the f*** would anbody want this nigga to speak or rap about any of that?

the world waiting for my boy Jaden to come spit bars on the tragedy in Hawaii

I was being hyperbolic but if a rapper can make a good song about the hawaiian wildfires i'll give them their props my real point was there's a reason why certain subjects aren't touched on in rap, they'd probably be too difficult to write about in a convincing way

Logic, Joey Badass, and NF are definitely mainstream

I’m not tryna hear conscious s*** over underground production

? idk man it‘s the songwriters job to make that s*** interesting not mine (if he/she chooses to talk about the issue). if it‘s fire it‘s fire if it‘s trash it‘s trash.
Maybe not a whole song but a couple of lines? why not

K Dot rapped about getting sick with covid and I fw it.

obsessed

Ahh ok I can see that

J Cole

"How can I pay taxes, my brother in county
Payin' for Ukraine, and prayin' for Maui
They gon make it with or without me
They gon make it; how could you doubt me"

Reminds me of the classic Kendrick bars thread

I was actually trying to capture his voice. That thread was an excuse to be edgy
