I'd like to propose some additional provisions kind sir.
Perhaps stripping him of clothing and personal belongings then pissing on him on IG live for added effect, ya know just to further drive home the "fukk you"

FACTS!
That's exactly what we need to get back to. Like when Cube dropped Death Certificate and said, "They want to make money off our sh*t, but scared to come to the shows". They were even scared of the peaceful righteous groups like Jungle Brothers and PRT. X-Clan had them scared like a MF! We need to go back to that sh*t and reclaim the rules and standards for our own sh*t. They're way too comfortable now.

What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!

I feel like it's too late to put the toothpaste back in the tube. Hip hop used to be something certain people didn't understand, or want to understand. It wasn't just white people that were scared of it, it was also older black people and they thought it was a fad like tropical house or nu-metal. James Mtume got called out by Stetsasonic for what he said on the radio about sampling. Don Cornelius never hid the fact that he didn't like hip hop and only had rappers on Soul Train to score points with the youth. Even Michael Jackson didn't take hip hop seriously at first, and didn't understand why Quincy Jones wanted him to work with rappers on Bad. Fortunately, he came around (Dangerous and every album afterwards), but a lot of people thought like that back then.
Hip hop used to be radical because it was new. It was about innovation, artistic integrity, telling you what it was like on this side. The more money it made, the more political it became, the more labels got bought out and merged with the big corporations, the more it was going to lose its teeth. Rappers used to be very conscious of their image and were afraid to be looked at as selling out. Certain artists weren't even taken seriously because they had Grammys and heavy rotation on MTV. Now, you have rappers in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The downside to hip hop being legitimized and accepted by certain people is that it can't be as raw and unusual as it used to be. You can't take something weird, give it a suit and tie, and expect it to still be weird. It doesn't work.
You remember the scene in Roots where Kunta Kinte says he's going to swim to the riverbank for freedom, and when all the Africans are taken outside, Kunta sees there's no riverbank and says that the Earth is gone? That's where hip hop has been for decades now. There's no riverbank to escape to because it's not around. Hip hop is a part of American culture now. When that happens, the idea of guys getting killed at concerts, or major rappers doing endorsements isn't something that's big time news anymore. It's just normal.

Studio revolutionary and gangster, Unfortunate because Cube is the first name I think of when it comes to hip hop legends who aint really who they present themselves to be, bruh used his association with street / grassroot black nationalist figures to bolster his image and it was apparent by the time he was in his Don Mega era,
Bruh had a convincing perma-scowl, and aura at the time, but having so many fall-outs with people really about catching wreck on both sides of the black zeitgiest really exposed him for the fraud ass captialist he really is, "legend" be damned. I dont hate Cube either, I just wish all that rah rah shyt had a modicum truth behind it.
all that kill-a-cracka "jew break up my crew" shyt but moving super politically correct trying to distance himself from one of if not the most prominent black voices of the 90s is sucka shyt.
Squares, revolutionaries, nor gangstas respect him and he only gets a pass for being a legend. even present day Cube has been moving funny
he fell along ways from "i'll never have dinner with the president"
jesus. How the fukk u a rap/hip hop listener and hate soul? I'll never understand it. People who hate soul, classic rock, oldies, etc.
This guy is a clown. Just bc a song doesn't have skittering high hats all over it doesn't mean it's bad

guess it depends on circles and how you move
in my personal experience, wild hilbilly shyt gets passing dialogue here and there in live action.
that type of shyt is centered here... alongside the eminem threads... and constant dikk references (in short: largely, these aint black people)
another angle is, online these are mutually beneficial ecosystems. highlighting this shyt will streamline you to followers and engagement. its less that this random white commentary is a material matter of concern and more that i can direct traffic towards myself by "defeating" (or whatever language u wanna use) this person(s)
an tangential example being as much as all these rappers supppsedly "hate" akademiks, while they mindfully keep all the bullshyt going with and through him cause without it their internet presence would plummet. Gibbs Meek so on and so forth. they know they sharing an audience
more unintelligible lyrics!
This.. I listen to all of this
and invalidates his entire argument
