The fact that NO MAINSTREAM RAPPER is talking about Trump/Epstein is anti hip-hop.

    Tupac dead nigga, think for yourself

    And thinking for myself tells me these niggas not saying or doing anything with their platform are GOOFY CONTROLLED NIGGAS

    My issue with hip hop mainly is the over-emphasis on escapism over anything. Like you dont have to talk about Epstein or even ICE but I aint gonna lie, the luxury raps just do not hit the same when inflation makes it hard to buy groceries 'nahmean?

    Niggas be writing bullshit like they gotta work
    Niggas is going through real s***, man, they out of work
    That's why another goddamn dance track gotta hurt

    Ye going Nazi hurts that bad because I get his personal struggles and mental health pushed him there but for a while he was good speaking truth to power . Was he perfect political knowledge? No but he understood the daily struggle and hired writers that did

    Which is what I’ve been saying . It’s my issue with Kendrick fans comparing Kendrick to Pac when he lacks the politics . He isn’t rapping to get the slaves freed quite the opposite

    That's my guy, but he's radical to white liberals

    We went from f*** the police to absolute silence.

    We went from fight the power to say nothing about the people in power.

    Hip hop is literally about the hip, which means knowledge. And hop is supposed to be the movement. So we’re supposed to get songs educating us about what going on and something we can step to.

    YG dropped toot it and boot it. But he also dropped f*** Donald Trump. Both of those songs is hip hop.

    Now we got rappers tryna protect their image

    Now we got rappers like Kendrick who
    say they’re not black anymore but go all out on Drake

    Hip hop isn’t the genre that my pops put me on to. These niggas care more about the dough than black people.

    This s*** is over.

    The Game dropped one of the most political songs of last year but no one cared. About ICE, Racism, Epstein, Gaza, Prison, Poverty, Russia, China

    Taylor swift a white woman I don’t expect her to trade fame or money for action she became the ditzy popular bully that probably bullied her growing up . Non white people wanting us to unite and rise up speak truth to power is moving

    S*** fans of the genre used to care about it . Many of us hated on Drake for not saying s*** politically but now when their favorite artist doesn’t say s*** they make excuses for it

    Non white people wanting us to unite and rise up speak truth to power is moving

    That is a HUUUUUUGE burden to bear that a lot of times isnt musically or economically reciprocated

    i think silence on ICE is stupid because we are getting targeted too but @FREE is right that african americans dont really have allies

    If art is inherently political and they are detaining people of all races including for having an opinion . Journalist ( assange Snowden don lemon ) whistle blowers . If those with the most power to say anything say nothing then that means what’s the point at all ? To be pacified by art while the world is utterly destroyed and indistinguishable from what we knew . By that logic who cares which artist do or don’t use ai. We should care what they are doing and saying . I agree an ice pin isn’t enough they should donate to causes , protest , volunteer , help politicians that can effect change , elevate or work with Latin artist

    Can argue art been used as a pacifier for decades like i said soundtrack to a coup is important man cia used louis armstrong as a trojan horse to spy on patrice lumumba but louis thought he was just helping unite Africans and african americans via music

    Oh yeah it isn’t a new phenomenon but it has gotten worse

  • IHS

    Vic Mensa for example

    Vic Mensa
    Common
    Lupe

    Rappers who do it get called losers lame try hard . Self righteous or pretentious for not selling out black people . Many say “ we are black why can’t we want to make money escape our conditions can’t save everyone “

    So since we in your opinion don’t have allies we shouldn’t try ? Again protest 2020 was every demographic which means we had allies

    People like complaining about rappers not being political more than they actually like rappers being political. Just look at the music that gets posted in the music sxn

    I have been consistent . I don’t care about people . S*** I had a thread about rage against the machine people trolled that . These are immature kids many of whom are white and fanboys vicariously living through other rappers
