Boots Riley of The Coup : Now is as good a time as any to tell people that Rick Rubin is a behind-the-scenes rightwinger

[RhymesWell]

Never knew about this but makes sense he'd be scum. All hippies get corrupted eventually.

 

[Ryda52]

Nuff said.

 

[Ryda52]

"He just looks like a hippie" and that's exactly what hippies turned out to be so people should've known this about him.

Yep.

White people.

No matter how cool they seem the chances of them being a racist are high.

My math says 2/3 of white people are racist.

That leaves the other 1/3 that are at least neutral.. which is actually kinda strange given the circumstance (being a part of the dominant group, but not abusing minorities or even helping minorities).

I was once c00n adjacent. I was always very militant about Black issues, but I believed the hype that racism was pretty much over. I knew there were still hardcore racists, but I thought they were a small percentage. I left the hood at college age and didn't look back for about 25 years. Never had any major issues but always little nagging shyt like white people would say something slick or I'd get discriminated against at work. Again. Chalked it up to the small group of racists.

And then there was Trump. Suddenly all my polite and friendly white coworkers and neighbors were accepting Trump as their leader and not pushing back on any of the rhetoric he was spewing. Truth and justice did not matter to my white acquaintances. Only power.

I was shocked. Some of these people I considered friends. Had partied with them and been to their cribs. One of my old smash buddies even said some shyt like "well, give Trump a chance".

I literally skipped town. I just up and moved back home one day.

And now. I'm skeptical of any white person I meet. It's no hate from my end, just careful. Same as I treat a stray pit bull. I wish em the best but stay the fukc away from me cause I don't know you like that. And I tense up in case the pit tries some shyt, but I don't attack him.

Can’t even front. Trump running for re-election really made white people at my former job, young and old, really show out and express their inner thoughts on a myriad of things political and social.

And anyone, ahem Rick Rubin, anyone who continually makes a lot of money is in a state of influence and power that perpetuates even after they are no longer a face in the business. Not surprised at all.

Kinda random, but I'm with it

Expose these cacs, boots

Yeah. Most of those hippies from the 60s shaved the beards and trimmed their hair to be the yuppies and politicians of the 80s and beyond

All that peace and love talk was just an excuse to engage in debauchery. They never believed in any of the left-leaning and progressive aspects of the movement. So it didn't take much to sell out

Take reagan's bytch for example. She was a Hollywood pass-around for years till Ronnie cleaned her up and put her in the white house. Now she's remembered as the "just say no" lady. Well, she wasn't saying no to all them dikks going down her throat. Even after becoming the first lady

No wonder why Hov was giddy meeting dude like a "dikk riding fakkit"

Mans been ten toes down on these cacs since the 90s

 

[Mac Ten]

I ain't heard that name The Coup in years...

They was a darker version of Digable Planets to me.

Rick Rubin like most old school cacs support that MAGA shyt though. Most cacs if not all have a bit of racist tendencies.

Make em upset enough and I'll come out, if not...they'll blend in and continue to make money in the culture and will slowly reveal themselves over time like Rick Rubin.

I wonder what Russell, DMC, and Rev run have to say about this

He wrote a book semi-recently and I see Black people quoting it often. lol

No you don't.

 

[chunky_mcdaniels]

I mean he did give them a Def Jam record deal.
Starting Def Jam is definitely a big accomplishment.

But he stole all the production (and production credits) from Jazzy Jay, then pushed him out the picture completely.

Do your research, or you probably weren't around to know about liner credits etc.

His book and Virgil’s book are the coffee table books of choice for Gen z hypebeasts

I said he helped start Def Jam, nothing about his production.

no such thing as neutrality in america, when it comes to racism. you are either anti black or anti white supremacy. anyone on the fence is anti black.
