I think an important hurdle we need to overcome is this current hiphop culture. It does nothing but keep negative stereotypes alive and promotes black destruction by black hands. And its fueling alot of our own self-hate. With Lamar and Cole selling i think intelligence in hiphop is making a comeback which would be a HUGE step for us. Hiphop is the most powerful and influential form of music on the planet. If we could gain back control of it we could use it to motivate and uplift instead of promoting our own genocide. Unfortunately, many of us still see this powerful music as simply "entertainment" when its really sooo much more than that. Im seeing more and more ppl coming to the realization that rappers are some of the biggest c00ns out there tho.
Cole and Kendrick know that the paradigm change in black people's thinking is coming close. They are smart to see how since the incidents of Trayvon and Mike Brown, black people need to get their act together ONCE AND FOR ALL. Meaning that, no more setbacks to black unity and group economics. No more propaganda. No more bullshytting.
It's time.
