Watcha showing me here?
lol I swear the bar is so low for “political”
so as long as these folks say the words “it’s the powers that be” they get a pass for how they act, and what they say? I swear it’s a cheat code for people with a minimal amount of fame, and mental illness.Ain’t that much coincidence in the world
Jay crossed some powerful people. Protections could have stripped, favors were called in. When did Diddy start to crumble? When he tried to make a play on Ciroc. They don’t make up the issues, they allow existing dirt to be exposed
Dude in that thread called it and said shyt was comin. I was also one of a few folk who wasn’t fallin for that ‘protect your wife’ shyt. Nah that was out of character about jay he seemed off
Also, keep track:
MIA- crazy
Tory Lanez pops- crazy
Jaguar Wright- crazy
That’s a political MO, either before or after they speak up, detractors are painted as nut jobs .
Also don’t forget OG’s wife was the Feds and she got pardoned by Trump. Clearly there’s more than rap goin on over there. Doesn’t mean Jay on some Diddy shyt, could just mean they are very powerful
That is NOT what the lyrics in the song are about. There is nothing derogatory about Black people in there. Go read the lyrics and listen to the song.
"At the border with VISAS in my name"
How was that a dig at Black people?

It is a mystery

Royals is very clearly taking subs at (black) hiphop culture. Once I paid more attention to the lyrics this became very obvious.
Paper planes is not. Every explanation why it would be sounds like some tinfoil hat shyt. Yes M.I.A has made foolish comments afterwards, but they don't extend into the past when she made paper planes. Kanye may be MAGA now, but that doesn't mean his early records are MAGA. Early kanye is still conscious music regardless of what he says now.

Hip hop has been the biggest pop culture entity in the world for like 20+ years. Saying you can't critique it as an outsider to the original culture is like saying you can't critique the latest Avengers movies because you never collected comics. Humans don't work like that. Reminds me of trying to control people saying the n word when it's been one of the top words used in that same global pop culture phenomenon. Nah, people in Norway, Australia, Thailand etc calling each other the n word now. It was made as "cool" as wearing the latest designer fashion. Cats out of the bag, Pandora's Box opened, etc. Can't tell people they should buy your albums, support you, etc but then just need to shut up about critiquing the thing you wanted them to buy.
But like I said, didn't see racism against black people in general in the song, just commentary on a specific part of a genre that is heavily black. Not going to jump to conclusions on that when there's plenty of shyt I KNOW is racist.
Try enforcing that N word stance with the right one. Those cacs in norway know when to censor themselves.
Point is you can't make something a pop culture phenomenon and then expect people to censor themselves en masse. Some might, a lot won't. A lot of them don't even see the problem, as a lot with blacks in their circles let them with no push back. To be clear, I hate it. However, I'm also logical. This is what happens when you make a slur as much of a pop culture thing as McDonald's.
Btw, those "cacs" yell it at concerts all day long and I don't see legions of "right ones" stopping them.
Who is "you" though. Rappers represent .0058% of the black population. We didn't make that a cultural phenomenon. Lil Wayne and them did.
Using them as justification for offending every other black person in existence is a reach at best. Weak reasoning.
No other behavior is justified over such a small sample size. No different than people assuming all asians know karate because they like bruce lee movies. Except you trying to act like its our fault bruce lee made those movies.
Wrong.
Artists are the most powerful people.
Nobody gives a shyt about activists for real outside of other activists and people with survivors guilt
it was very clear the very first time I heard it
fukk that bytch
Don’t think I’m defending it. I hate the n word being used by ANYONE. But for a lot of these countries where the primary image they get about black people is hip hop, it’s the “cool” thing. This is what happens when the media image of a group is heavily skewed one way. Most people are not going to delve deeper and try to find nuances about that culture. They're going to go with what the media tells them, and globally it's "cool" for millions to listen to hip hop and use the n word like their favorite rappers. It's just how human beings work, right or wrong. Teenagers in Norway aren't pondering over whether they're justified in saying it any more than they ponder about whether they're justified in doing any other popular thing. And in the US thousands of whites sing along to it at concerts because the word is used over and over in hip hop songs. Think I remember a concert where DMX was egging the crowd on to chant it. I'm sure they loved that lol.
I posted the lyrics here so I can read where it's subbing us
Edit: Reading thru, seems like she's subbing popular music, happens to include rap and rich ppl amongst other things
