nobody who is actually being affected by Trump was watching the f***ing Grammy’s or is on IG liking and reposting pop stars bringing attention to nothing they are actively partaking in trying to change as they get richer by the day from people like you now adding to their algorithm so they can keep saying f*** Trump at shows while a little American boy still waiting to reunite with his dad thanks to ICE assuming they illegal
Really? Then why am I seeing my class lists shrink down day by day because my students and their families are packing up and self deporting or leaving because their dad was just taken by ICE? Those are just regular people that watched the Grammys and talked about it afterwards because I made sure they did. Or what about the stories I read on HS friends facebooks about their families being destroyed by ICE? They’re constantly reposting s*** including the lame celebrities that shouldn’t have said anything at all.
Using whatever platform you have to speak out is always an objectively good thing. It’s not my fault you’ve become so f***ing cynical that you can’t grasp that people sometimes need a little bit of hope from their favorite celebrities or for someone with power to echo what they’ve been feeling.
Just because it rings hollow for your soul doesn’t mean it doesn’t mean a lot to a 12 year old kid watching it. Dont ever try to speak for the s*** I believe in
There's this expectation that niggas supposed to speak out about everything all the time for everyone when the Epstein list is mostly white men with power and one of his biggest homeboys in the WH right now because everyone but niggas wanted him back in or didn't care to stop him.
I agree that Hip Hop should be more politically active but I also don't like the expectation of black Americans to mule for people and that's what a lot of this Convo always becomes for me.
Song and performances over time do help bring change . They inspire others to not give up when it’s darkest . Unite like minds . Start or inspire protest . Giving up and putting no useful messaging in your music serves the CIA billionaires end Zionist

You not understanding how sad it is that CHILDREN are what you are using as your calling card is sad as f***. Protect the kids doesn’t exist in your world, put them on the front lines!
why don’t the adults those kids are going home to stand up for their kids so this reality doesn’t exist for those families having to pack up and leave? Of course the kids are watching TV and entertainment
they are f***ing kids LOLOL but real voters don’t even know who they are voting for in the county commissioner, now you expecting a celebrity who saying F*** ICE to be the change that needs to be heard for them to make change for their neighbor
LOL holy s*** we are doomed bro
Calling a black man boy is crazy
Fair enough, I’m sorry i called you baby boy in a previous post, I’ll delete it.
I still don’t agree with you tho

ehhhh I wouldn't necessarily agree with that.
This the same mentality a lot of us including you was (rightfully) killing Kendrick for. The only thing that brings change is action.
I think if we wasn't in the most apathetic of times among the national consciousness, the "silence" of rappers wouldn't be as much of an issue as it is.
I been seeing the past few years all this talk about Bad Bunny and Taylor Swift being the biggest artist in the world and bigger than Michael Jackson but everyone asking why the rappers ain't speak on Epstein?

lol I just caught that . I’ve already wild out on people this my chill era

You of all people should know historically it's always been the kids that spark the revolutions lol.

Are you stupid ?? What do you expect those adults to go “stand up” and do?
How the f*** are we doomed because I pointed out it’s good for celebrities to use their platforms?
Stop spamming smilies and talk like a f***in adult

I agree here, but I think we’re purposefully fractionalizing ourselves when we all fundamentally agree
Music does not beget change, but is it helpful in the process of creating change? I’d argue yes
I been seeing the past few years all this talk about Bad Bunny and Taylor Swift being the biggest artist in the world and bigger than Michael Jackson but everyone asking why the rappers ain't speak on Epstein?
We're the main demographic that opposed this administration, told them what was gonna happen, and damn near every group besides Asian Americans went Trump. Now that everything is happening it's all on niggas to speak up
You said “no one affected by Trump is watching the Grammys” and I said that’s flat out wrong and used children as an example because that’s who the messaging is for

Rage against the machine my example . Lupe truth to power and some level of action but again eventually artist black ball themselves . Also those in power create controversies for the artist or they go somewhat crazy Mia and ye that they become part of what they used to fight against

Bad Bunny one of the biggest voices against ICE.
Taylor Swift is a loser and sooner or later her fanbase gonna look back and be like how she never really used her platform for s*** besides "my boyfriend's red D***" is kinda wack.
I think people expect rappers because hip hop was always kinda looked at as the "political" genre. And as the youngest of genres was seen as where you would get the "real s***"
Never realizing we would already at the end of the genre by now.

You called him boy?

It’s on all of us m
Ice existed before and after Trump . Artist should speak up some man come on
ICE has just been given legal authority to shoot and kill people for no reason and your response is “parents should stop being pussies” lollllll f*** you
