They don't even know this song is about the homeless and how nobody cares
Same shyt was happening here when To Pimp a Butterfly dropped. That album used historical black influences but the undercover cac posters on here were not for itWhite people have an uncanny ability to compartmentalize contradictory ideas.
They hear the song and enjoy the sonics. When they go to the concert, they feel the energy and pretend the message doesn't apply to them. But when the music is goes off that's where all the "love" stops and they get right back on code.
Never forget when I used to lurk KTT and Cyhi's Black History project dropped. White kids were saying that they loved the production and bars but the overall problack theme was "annoying. "

Black excellence on one album
It depends on the fans.
Are they overall metal fans, or are they fans that listen to the artist for the lyrics themselves?
I know plenty of fans of groups like System of a Down, The Clash, even Green Day who legitimately give no credence to the anti-capitalist, anti-racist, and socialist lyrics of the group; they just enjoy the grooves and hooks of the songs.
I also know a lot of people who listen to those artists BECAUSE OF the concepts and the message itself.
Remember Chocolate Rain?
Song was exclusively about systemic racism, and Blackness in the US. Every single line of the song.
It went STRAIGHT over the vast majority of White people's heads.
Including the executives of Coca-Cola
So I automatically assume that whoever is listening, especially if they're White, has no idea what's going on until proven otherwise
I never fukking knew this
, it's like the time I found out about Hey Ya.
No different from some white folks bumping Jamiroquai instead of understanding what they truly were saying:Think we're standing for injustice
White gets two and black gets five years
Well it took me quite a while to suss this
Now I know my head is cleared
But keep dancing
Breh if you heard a artist and they had a Cac theme to it you’d be annoyed tooWhite people have an uncanny ability to compartmentalize contradictory ideas.

What's hey ya bout to lazy to Google. shyt dropped when I was a little boy.I never fukking knew this
Think we're standing for injustice
White gets two and black gets five years

Jamiroquai? Who?
It's about the downfalls of relationships.
"If what they say is “Nothing is forever”
Then what makes, then what makes, then what makes
Then what makes, what makes, what makes love the exception?
So why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh
Are we so in denial when we know we're not happy here?
Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance"
