Meek Mill Billboard Interview: "I'm scared to be political"

[Arithmetic]

Be an MC and be scared to be political in ya raps brehs.

This why there can only be one King.

Spoiler

 

[Versa]

Btw it really is weak AF that he has no problem rapping about killing his brothers, disrespecting our women, selling drugs to our people, and poisoning the minds of the youth with his garbage but he's scared to speak on things that would really help our community with his platform.

I know people are making fun of him but that is genuinely sad to me. It's heartbreaking that many rappers feel this way.

Thankfully it seems more mainstream rappers like Kendrick and Cole are becoming more comfortable doing that.

 

[Kid McNamara]

You are a fool to jump to the conclusion that I implied before rap we were living in utopias

You are a bigger fool if you can't see the promotion of black genocide in our music is a tool used in part to further the white supremacy agenda....

I just asked a question, one that you didn't answer.

I'm still trying to understand your logic though.

----- So, you're saying that the youth look up to Meek Mill as some sort of ghetto hero right?

THEN

----- You're saying that Meek, and people like Meek, is an industry tool used to further the white supremacy agenda?

Which one is it?

 

[PhonZhi]

Meek is telling the truth...being black political and on a large platform will lead to problems...history has shown this

Sad and pathetic post. We're scared of the white/j*wish man, but quick to rap about killing other black people

 

[Kid McNamara]

Yall got such a long way to go to get to "awareness"

Such an elegant and well thought out response.

 

[KOohbt]

Naw, i hate white-supremist controlled hiphop. Its a tool being used against us in the guise of media propaganda to keep the black community in an ignorant and materialistic mindstate. Ill keep bringing awareness to that ok? Im good

I don't make societies bs, I just call it for what it is. U and I both know they silence political MC's only allow them to get so high. I wish the gangster shyt would pull back a bit myself...but if he gets on some Farrakhan shyt they will turn his volume down. He could be like Rae Sremmurd I guess

Think about what he's glorifying and promoting to said youth and you'll have the answer to your own question

 

[pon]

foh with that phonzi shyt
rap is a scapegoat for entry level thinkers who think that the black community is in shambles and are embarrassed by it
comparing rap to "white" genres, begging to name white artists that say the same shyt, like white peoples behavior is the shining beacon in which savage negroes should model themselves behind

Who's begging? You compared meek mills to Taylor swift and ed sheeran regarding political responsibility, lol you clearly would pick an apple thinking its orange on a table test

I can name artist pon artist that promote "killing nikkaz" ...what I can't name are white artist that promote "killing crackaz" or black artists that promote "killing crackaz"

....Stop deflecting , once again I don't care what white people think, generally speaking they have been savage from their inception 6000-10000 years ago, not my concern.

I'm more concerned about them making money off us promoting black genocide and black people being ok with because it is not the cause of the condition, while acting as if(black genocide music) is some type of band aid...

There comes a point where art crosses over and stops reflecting and is in projection mode... That line has long surpassed

 

[Axum Ezana]

Nah. You're just so woefully misguided that I have:

cause u can't argue with what i said.

hip hop been dead in terms of mainstream sucess.

only underground now.

 

[Millions]

I know what he meant I read the article. My point is WTF is he talking about. Ain't nobody killing no fukking Meek lmao

Police locked him back up over some bs

U think young black man with money ain't targets u buggin

 

[PhonZhi]

Such an elegant and well thought out response.

You see nothing wrong with highly influential public figures continuing to promote the MINDSET of ignorance, extreme materialism and viewing other black people as the enemy. You do realize that as long as our overall MINDSET/CONSCIOUSNESS is where its currently at, that change(whatever your definition of that is) will NEVER occur right? We currently view OURSELVES more as the threat than the REAL enemy: white supremacy. But go ahead thinking its "just entertainment"

 

[Thizzlam]

We live in a police state so what he's saying isn't factually inaccurate.

 

[Kid McNamara]

Think about what he's glorifying and promoting to said youth and you'll have the answer to your own question

Why is he so popular with the youth, why do they look up to him as much as y'all claim they do?

taylor swift and ed sheran are POP artists, which is why I brought their names up
thats what I mean with people like you, everything is a racial pissing contest
you can't even think in terms of music, when someone brings up an artist, you only see their race
black genocide this, black genocide that
people like you don't have an endgame, nor do you look forwards or backwards
so after a bunch of armchair activists bully black entertainers into being mouthpieces for a black hivemind, then what? Do all rappers have to get their music evaluated by a "black community" board? What happens when angry people are still being violent and sad people are still using drugs? Do they only deserve special attention when rap doesn't exist?
