It was a token Oscar but I don't care. It was a positive song and more Rappers need to have more conscious lyrics. Salute Common and John Legend. It's something the mainstream doesn't want more people to here. Conscious hip hop has been phased out, it's sad.

Travolta ain't fooling anybody with his lego hair

 

[Roid Jones]

I'm going to have to rewind to hear their speech. I started playing Grapevyne by Brownstone and it took over my family room

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

Exactly. Coli brehs still don't understand racial dynamics...this is a SAFE song, its not powerful at all. Its safe, and that's why the cacs like it. They mentioned the prison capitalist system, but did not mention solutions or call out the privateers...

We know the prisons are racialized; we know that, so why not add some depth to your speech? Address solutions and stop being SAFE!

everyone has their opinion but I don't agree with this at all. I don't think they're playing it safe at all and all they spoke was 100% truth.
