    none of them is comparable to a Fela Kuti who literally went at his country's own police force tbh.

    As much as its cliche at this point Tupac counts imo

    Most of public enemy

    I think there's a tier of "revolutionary rappers" who threw their fame away by making political messages when on top of the world

    Mos Def/Yasin Bey

    Lupe

    Yep

    The culture doesn’t hold down niggas who commit to being that guy

    Or they find any excuse to drop him. Drake dropped plenty of radioslop and its a HOF career still but Lupe does Lasers (which niggas here/kLive saw get played with and f***ed over in real time) and niggas say f*** him lol

    Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o was also about it and the Kenyan government detained him for a year without a formal charge.

    Was just watching an AI slop advertisement on YouTube before a vid, ad was for some brain knowledge app

    It was some “nice guys finish last” ai slop relationship bait s*** but it brought up the great point that feelings are about distance from expectations

    The better you are to begin with the higher the standard moving forward whereas if you underperform and show out every now and then its received way better

    This perfectly describes how ppl receive future veeze carti vs the lupes killer mikes kendricks j coles lol

    Never jived with Lil Bill, and the Lib zio nonsense he was spewing makes sense when you learn that dude used to be a preacher or some s*** lol. Evangelicals peddle that poison on the regular

    Bill is cool but can be aggravating at times

  • him, dave chappelle and talib kweli needa join up like a supergroup. the worst smart dumb mfs onna tl

    More complicated with Lupe than “lasers bad” he himself started to decrease in overall quality + pull a ghais guevara on social media

    yes we need more short form content by creators who cant even articulate themselves, defend their ideas, offer worthwhile perspective or have the patience to thoroughly map out history to the masses in a ready made, audience friendly chapter format

    world needs more of these typa clowns

    The only thing about FD I know is that clip of him saying if you listen to Drake you probably a loser and a bad person. Like calm down.

  • Positivenamehere

    Pre Death Row I agree but towards the end of his life Pac was definitely becoming a hyper capitalist and Hollywood's darling (his later interviews confirm as such, "without money you can't build a nation")

    the same Chuck D working with the US State Department?

    As much as I'm a fan of both Yasiin and Lupe, none of them is comparable to a Fela Kuti who literally went at his country's own police force tbh.

    I mean fela kuti isn't relevant here since we were talking about rappers lmao

    We can't assume any route Pac was going to take. Yes acting was starting to boom for him, but we have no semblance of what the rest of his career would've looked like especially considering his erratic nature.

    FD spends his time and labor dismantling successful black people, especially black men.

    FD is a part of the problem.

    That type of work is corny and actually deeply problematic (and further empowers white supremacy).

    FD is a lame and actually terrible for the community.

  • The problem isn't Killa Mike (who is actually boots on the ground and does community work first hand for decades).

    The problem is laptop losers who can't comprehend multi-layered, dynamic thoughts about longterm revolutionary strategies.
