Honorable Dr. Umar: "Hip Hop hasnt done shyt for community in 50 years!!"

[Space Cowboy]

Cacs called rock the devil's music and tried to get many artists banned off radio.

Rock was also invented by black people and was shunned by cacs who called it "black music" and questioned its effect on their communities

This was not a good comparison breh

Who cares if black people made rock?

The point is, since the 60’s it has been a white led genre. But no one expected rockers to help out white communities.

I didn’t realize all black artists have to be activist, Dr. Umar.

I don't think he's right at all "Hip-Hop" is a genre of music and in some aspects a culture that people partake in.
However, Hip-Hop is not a PAC, it's not a political party, it's a fukking loose coalition of musicians who do roughly the same
thing.
The problem has been and always will be this desire to place the entire future of Black Americans in the hands of rappers and trumpet players.

They're very good at what they do, which is entertaining but they're not politicians or leaders and reducing Black political organizing and
political thought to fancies of people who are artists firsts and foremost and miles away from Freedom fighters is not only unrealistic
but in the frankest terms...fukking stupid.


Umar himself a cartoonish caricature of legit political figures like Kwame Ture.
Just a clown in a dashiki with a loud mouth that doesn't actually do shyt or speak power to the people.

The problem is Hip Hop artists & black entertainers in general are often pushed as the “voice” of the black community. This leads to people asking how has the community benefited.

We have to stop putting them as spokespeople & also allowing the media & actual politicians to do it.

But wait when we do (see the Meg/Kamal) people cry about it.

Clearly Dr Umar hasn't seen Microphone Check

 

[Loose]

He's right

I'm sure there was some good somewhere but overall I agree with Umar on this. I know some of y'all will defend rap no matter what though

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

Lol dude has a valid point but why is he yelling Articulate yourself without all them antics

You hear the dumb shyt the interviewer is saying? You would be yelling too if someone tried to tell you that drug dealers were essential employers in the hood

 

[Secure Da Bag]

No one asks rock artists what they’ve done for the white community

They did in the 80s and early 90s.

 

[jay83]

That podcaster was a regular on that show the grapevine. That’s all I need to know.

 

[TEH]

No one asks rock artists what they’ve done for the white community

Hip hop always claimed to be more than a genre of music.


Who’s posting here who doesn’t know that …

You know the elements? The founders? The message?
