Killer Mike on cac reviewer Fantano - arrogant outsider and colonizer

[Thanos]

I can't take KM seriously after the wakanda comment.

 

[Mandarin Duck]

Oh, so now we cool with cops, especially with this cosplaying ass activist shouting out kill your masters and shyt

I'm not about to look at a man shadey because his father chose a career path that took care of his family.

Or because he owns property.

I don't give a damn about his music. Only Mike song I know is ADIDAS.

 

[EmojiFlame]

easy layup for fantano - enjoy the mockery, km

It’s fukking crazy seeing black people take that posture. As long as you live in a capitalist society, you better make some money. You don’t have the luxury to act like privileged white kids talking that socialism/communist shyt. And I’m saying this as a democratic socialist.


We also need to stop throwing away important figures from our community(Killer Mike, Chappelle, Cube) who have a solid track record because they don’t fit 100% with the liberal orthodoxy.

Let them go, we don't have to align ourselves w/ people who don't care about us esp celebs. Great artists and comedians, I like them for that. But when they start opening their mouths,

He has never ran from the fact that pops and uncles are cops.

This is Atalanta, our cops are black and only the naive or stupid think you do t need cops.

You mean when he was being cordial to her on stage or is it something else? Either way, I’m not shytting on someone for association especially if I know they have good intentions and they don’t have a c00ning track record.

Cordial? He was calling her his sister and didn't challenge her about her wildly anti-Black history on that stage or when he went on her podcast. He also challenges any Black person who calls her out. nikka was cheesing like a kid in a candy store on her podcast. c00ndace mocked the deaths of Trayvon Martin, George Floyd, etc...and continues to push alt-right, anti-Black narratives. He's a fat clown and his music is as subpar as it gets.

Well where I'm from (Chicago/Minneapolis) its fukk the cops from day one


I'm sure you exist in the one place in the country where all your cops are benevolent

 

[Yayo Toure]

If I stopped fukking with everyone who fell short of my expectations, I wouldn’t fukk with anybody. People make mistakes or bad judgements. I tend to look at the totality of the person.


Can you post the link of KM on Candace Owens show because I can’t find it.

Very few rappers with heavy political content have ever experienced poverty.

Chuck D, KRS, Cube, Ras Kass, Nas, Killa Mike, Guru (Gangstarr) had parents with "good jobs".

KRS was homeless in one of the most poverty stricken boroughs in New York.

Nas pops was mostly absent in his household growing up and his moms had a low paying job while they was living in one of the worst projects in NYC.

Them not experiencing poverty is wildly laughable.

So you are one of the stupid who thinks you don’t need police.

What type of "good jobs" were attainable for the average Black person in the 70's?
Government jobs and factory jobs for big companies.

Also why are we acting like cops are an oppressive force in our communities?
The folks that don't care to make an honest living are the most oppressive force in our communities.

Fantano not in the position to get into the nuances

FD broke it down better but was still able to give the album props

My thing is...I support capitalism, it (or some version of it) is the best system in the world. So I got no issue with capitalism in the most general sense. However I'm not sure how you can rock Kill Your Masters t-shirts and shout out revolutionaries while simultaneously yelling "pay rent, bytch" as a landlord, which is what he does on the album. And while I understand rap is full of contradictions that often enhance the message, I'm not so sure it does that here. It just comes off as a guy cosplaying in different roles and hiding behind the defense that us northerners don't understand the south. I think I understand the south enough to know that it has far more ties to standard civil rights movements than the Black Panthers, whose chapters/locations were almost exclusively on the west and east coasts. So when he talks down on non-southern blacks while claiming we don't know about xyz...he's bullshytting.

His frame of reference is basically black capitalism. Black people having money, owning businesses, owning land. Something that happened in virtually every corner of this country at one point. But instead of just rapping about that he feels compelled to cast himself as I991 Ice Cube, with a HOA membership card. Ehhh.

 

[Deafheaven]

So you are one of the stupid who thinks you don’t need police.

"I live in a place where we have police that look like us and do right (your words)"

"I'm from a place where most of our police are on bullshyt, thus we do not trust them as you would"


You coli nikkas always ready to call people names

I'm not going to argue with your ass about our anecdotal experiences. If you want to think I'm stupid go ahead, aint hurting me none. Killer Mike still a flip flopping goofy.

 

[Double Burger With Cheese]

Because he puts himself out there, Same with Pitchfork. They specialize in these things. Hip-hop publications used to specialize in these things too, til we threw them away and nobody has taken over that space (and rappers get extra sensitive to a bad review and then they shyt on the publication and "let the streets decide")


Question for the booth: who do y'all read or listen to for hip-hop album reviews?

I don’t listen to anyone for hip hop reviews. Nothing against reviews in general, but I don’t read/watch them. I still read peoples personal reviews by default if I’m looking at an album thread on the coli or something. But I’m not seeking out any song or album reviews.

If I was, I definitely wouldn’t be listening to some goofy looking white man, especially for his take on rappers with heavy politic/race/social issue content. Like your life experience not the same as us, you really don’t got no place to be speaking on this shyt, even though you have the right to.

A lot of this shyt just comes down to resentment for white people trying to insert themselves into the culture and becoming important figures that has influence over a black art form. shyt rub people the wrong way
