Wasnt Iverson an entertainer too? Was it an issue for Philly kids to look up to him?

For anything outside of basketball, yes, absolutely. You really think kids should be modeling their personal lives after Allen Iverson?

Wish I could find...oh, found it....

At what? Being a drunk gambling stupid nikka who disenfranchised, disaffected nikkas idolize? I loved AI... but he was never, ever as good as his narrative.

This.

Not really defending Meek, but it's an interesting thought.

How many black folks working a decent job are going into work and using their "platform" to discuss political issues?

I think what he said is lame, but dude is an entertainer. No one should be looking to him for political commentary in the first place.

This speaks to a larger issue in popular culture and discourse in America though,

yeah, cuz the average joe can reach millions of people with 140 characters.........:rudy:

youre wrong bro....its his duty as an "artist" to bring these topics out in his "art"

plus he have a big platform....if he can use it to destroy , he can use it to build....it just proves that these guys are aware of what theyre doing

So does Seth McFarland have a duty to discuss political topics in Ted 2? Does the next Seth Rogan movie need to delve into middle-age, middle-class ennui, or the 2016 presidential election?

This is ridiculous.

Police brutality and the criminal justice system have dominated recent news cycles, but Meek, who has a 4-year-old son with an ex-girlfriend, rarely uses his elevated platform as a soapbox. "I'm scared to be political," he says. "You get too powerful and more people try to take you out. My son ain't trying to hear that his dad got put away because he was fighting for the country."

c00n shyt. Chuck d been talking shyt about cacs for 30 years, and he still doing it. Never been arrested. Dead Prez? Ice Cube? Brand Nubian?

Just admit your a pop rapper and them jews want you to continue being a good ****** and talking about topics they want to hear: Killing other blacks, popping pills and selling dope. These new nikkas is cowards

lol these the nikkas , nikkas look up to....they brag about killing their own people....and are afraid to enlighten ppl.....lol chuck D is still living, cube is still living....nobody is asking him to be them...they just want some recognition
Meek has been speaking out lately. Check his interviews. He said he wasn't gonna switch his style up but he said that he's preaching that moving your mom's out the hood is cool etc. So hes doing exactly what the cacs in this thread want him to they just don't really want him to their just using our real issues (ones I personally loved through) as a diss which is suspect and anybody co-signing is looking real funny right now.
