True Growth or Trend for them?

Do you think their recent (last 5 years or so) wokeness or pro blackness is just them growing as people over time and coming into their own personally; therefore, it's starting to spill into their art? I mean Nas, Lupe, Cube were that from day one. But people grow and change right (see Malcolm).

Or do it think they're doing it because it's trendy? It's in now and Jay in particular has been in on every trend since 96.

They did exactly what they should've done and that's to take advantage of pigskins and take their money. REAL Gods and Earths know that whites are to be used and tossed aside :laugh:

oh look....another 'i hate rich people' thread

they are human beings just like you and just like me....

which means they are allowed to grow and change as they live in this world....

the problem with the majority of you keyboard activists is that you think once a person is ONE thing thats all they can ever be.....which is blatantly false....people can evolve and change....they dont always but it IS possible:unimpressed:

Actually I don't think that sir. That's why I posed the question (using Malcolm X as a example) and didn't flat out make a statement.

who give a fukk about how they choose to adjust their public image, this is all some entertainment bullshyt at the end of the day

i know personally nikkas (plural) going to college w shawn carter foundation scholarships

ive heard stories about them putting money down for black companies and causes and not saying shyt about it

anybody could throw they fist up on camera its about action and putting money down on your words

im not saying jay and beyonce are saints or any bullshyt like that, im sure its slimy business shyt theyve been involved in, but just based on what ive seen and heard its not all performative
