I don get this? Why do you want someone uninformed on a subject making music about it?I just want some political rap to make a comeback
Too much going on for nobody in my age range to be saying something
You old nikkas lucky af. Yall had pre maga ice cube, pac, public enemy, dead prez, mos, and ras
Who dafukk we got?
I never said anything about uninformed people making music
This ain't a Carti thread, and I get that he ain't for everybody so I won't even try to convince you to change your mind, but Carti actually has incredible musical timing
I never said anything about uninformed people making music
I aint expecting rappers to be political experts, but do you really have to be to see what's going on and call it for what it is?
My state alone has all types of corruption and injustice going on that isn't spoken about enough.
Overcrowded prisons, politicians making it harder for people to get parole, a failing education system more focused on spreading racist propaganda and censoring real history instead of actually educating kids, etc.
You don't need a political science degree to see this shyt
The state murdered a black man named Nathaniel Woods for the murder of a cop he was only present for
The guy who actually killed him confessed and pleaded for them to stop, but they murdered this man anyway
We got folks rapping about smoking on dead black children and their bootyholes but enough with stepping up to call out the war right wing politics is raging on us everyday
I guess bullshyt is the only topic you feel rappers are qualified to speak on
why do you need a rapper to rap about this?
A bunch of drugged out flunkies saying, "grah, grah, cold, cold, cold/like my jury, woo woo" with some garageband delay and you'll have 40 y/o men of all races pretending to like it and being passive aggressive fans about it
Pretty much sums it up
Cause it's some real shyt
Who wants to listen to a song about This stuff over and over
Listen to LASERS. He literally called out Israel in defense of Palestine.
. I agree rap isn't the same rn but it's a low period, because shyt was lit in the culture from 13-20 I'd say. There was always a new artist with a different style until the pandemic, it's the same nikka now blowing up. Yelling drill nikka from NYC or them Rylo/Lil Baby/YB sounding ahh nikkas in the south with the melodies. This generation isn't some high mental health ahh nikkas, these hoes are out here being thots like never before, nikkas doing hella drugs. nikkas just doing shrooms and shyt ocassionally, alcohol is actually pretty big in this generationCause it's some real shyt
Music is powerful. It's hard for the people most affected by oppression to express themselves. Educational institutions and media outlets are closed off due to lots of economic barriers
With music, nobody has to worry about any of that. Especially rap cause people can say exactly how they feel
A song can reach millions. The potential is astronomical for how social change can be influenced through music.
Just disappointing how that potential is being ignored
Most modern rap is just modern minstrel show shyt with black actors
Same play been going on since slavery
Keeping nikkas preoccupied with bullshyt to distract from our condition
I aint saying rap is gonna change the world, but it can be a extremely useful tool in educating the masses to become more politcally aware and more interested in making change
The common worker isn't likely gonna pick up a black Marxist book, but he will listen to music in his free time
Wouldn't it be cool if he heard something that'd spark some ideas about why things are how they are?
Maybe he'd become more interested into doing some further research
That's all I'm saying
Am i lying tho?you nikkas want this to be a thing so bad
See I would've agree with you if this was 2016/2017, but that's not the case nowadays.
