Word. @Crumple , I usually fukks with your posts and opinions on hip-hop, but your points are all over the place here breh. Like, what has Mos done to deserve so much venom in your eyes? All of this to defend this clown? : :heh:




Mos force fed himself in solidarity with Guantanamo Bay prisoners who were on a hunger strike protesting the inhumane conditions, torture, and unjust imprisonment they were being forced to endure, and were being force fed through nasal tubes against their will, and you say you don't respect it because it's "self-abuse"?? :dahell:

No shyt it's self-abuse, that was the whole point. He was trying to raise awareness to their plight and the conditions of the hundreds of people being held there extra-judicially.

That's like saying you don't respect people who donate blood to The Red Cross because they're abusing themselves. You keep talking about how terrible of a person he is, but you even shyt on the man when he does things for righteous and moral reasons. Can't have it both ways.

You're right. Even this reply from you opened up my eyes to other perspectives here.

I apologize to everyone, I wrote ignorant here. I heard a lot of you out and I apologize. I jumped the gun.

I learned a lot in this thread and a lot of you humbled me. My bad and thank you for your perspectives.

:dahell: What the hell are you doing? This is the Coli, there is no apologizing on here. Even when you are wrong you deflect and double down.

Okay, I apologize. I was just tripping because you said you would try to play me but not other Coli rappers. My bad. We're hip hoppers, let's not beef. Let's leave that to X and Insta comment sections. The Coli should be built up with mutual respect.


creh shut up I b on here talking shyt :russ:

Nobody has checked for a mos def song since about 2000

Why is it drakes fault that target wants to play popular music that people actually listen to?
It’s not his fault. He makes music for the mainstream. He makes music with the hope it will reach the largest audience possible, Target included. He has no artistic integrity, for him it’s all contractual and about money making

If all of Drake’s rappity rap songs are “easy listening” then post some hip hop songs by mainstream artists that you wouldn’t consider it easy listening.
Why would you look to mainstream artists for hip hop?
