The rest is an unnecessary bytch fit but this right here is dead on.
Twitter takes the fight out of people, they think hash tagging something is their good deed for the day and they've done their part. Twitter is the perfect way to inform and organize but it's not utilized for anything other than thirst traps, 1 direction/JB fans and Love and & fukkin hip hop
Marching is essentially begging the people who oppress you to give you justice. It's a short term solution, we can't march every time something fukked up happens to us, we need to solve the problem by getting together and actually getting some people in our local offices that give a fukk about us while building a strong economically independent community

Rock isn't the genre that started because it was meant to fight the power. Hip hip was.

fukk twitter activism when are the rappers gonna clean their own backyard and speak against all the black on black violence in rap music?? I just cant take rapper sserious when it comes to these situations when collectively there isnt an uproar against the evil that is in a lot of the music. Its like when Ross was speaking about Trayvon Martins situation then in his album which dropped soon after he's killing nikkas left and right.

If you think the criticism is about entertainers not being "leaders" you are missing the point...
First off, this is specifically a critique of hip hop culture and the awareness and blueprint that was brought to light by the Universal Zulu Nation..If you're just a fan of "rap" or "good music" and don't consider yourself associated with hip hop culture then your opinion is irrelevant here....
Nobody needs a rapper to be a Black leader.. But Chuck D once described the influence of hip hop as "Young Black America's CNN"..They aren't supposed to be leading change against the struggle, but at a minimum they should be speaking on it...
Especially when the first thing 90% of these rappers say when they are interviewed is "I'm REALLY from the streets"... If that's truly the case, then why are you only capable of reporting on "the party?"..
We know what "the streets" drink, smoke, drive, wear and dance to.. But what about the other 90% of life on "the street?"...The part that REALLY matters..
I've griped for awhile that our influence is being wasted.. If you have the power and influence to take Ciroq from a small company that nobody knows to a multi million dollar conglomerate .. If you have the influence to make a pair of headphones so hot that it becomes part of a multi-billion dollar ipo....If you have the power to kill the throwback jersey industry in a week and "Make a Yankee cap more famous than a Yankee can"
If Kanye tweeted that he was releasing a new sneaker tomorrow he would have people wrapped around buildings all over the globe..
Then how can you claim "I'm just an entertainer" when the people that help give you wealth and power ask for your influence to be used for something real???
Hip hop isn't "just" music and "just" entertainment..And if that's how you view it, then you're an outsider who's opinion should be disregarded off the rip...
