insertcoolnamehereImagine if more rappers or entertainers just...stopped performing in certain states and cities that are known for doing f*** s***?
national outcry over Arizona being the last state to recognize MLK Day led to not only state-wide boycott but also the Super Bowl being moved to Cali.
Guess what happened the following year?
They think it’s not our problem whole time when it was police brutality Muslims Latinos were there with us in streets

Valentinewhy is it only rappers responsibility? all these problems existed before Trump, why is it only anti-hiphop now? cause they didn’t wear some ICE pins and say f*** ICE/Trump at awards shows?
It's because the genesis of hip hop was based on the proletariat and the voices of the unspoken that did speak out.
that's why it's expected of rappers but we haven't been a proper genre for a decade this s*** been #cooked

Why do we act like nothing ever happens?
People in this thread need to realize that change is possible

Free YoungBoyDon’t tell me what I like and don’t like. Because you’re wrong. And second off it is objectively hypocritical
it's documented in the grammy thread you don't like bad bunny lol.
And how is it hypocritical to say "yo, I'm not touring in a country that is actively arresting my people and might even be pulling up to my shows BUT I will use a significantly humongous platform to push my (I don't f*** with ICE) agenda in a controlled environment where ICE isn't as likely going to pop up behind an event filled with 75% crackers and 25% hispanic-hating hispanics

You brought up other artists speaking out on political topics. I gave you an example of one that did in a popular song. What material change did that have. You still can’t answer it. Calling it “whataboutism” is a deflection
Baby boy, just because one example of yours didn’t bring back effective change doesn’t mean the entire idea of doing it is invalid
Are you serious here? Your big move is the lil baby defense?

A certain "New Yorker" on this forum was literally defending ICE until I told him that they are literally pulling up to the Caribbeans in Flatbush lmao.

That’s not the argument, the argument is that these things are vital, and helpful to doing that and I argue they are
If you genuinely thought I was arguing that a song would come out and every evil person would decide to be good, then I think you need to do some more reading

FREE 💜Feb 8·2 repliesThere's this expectation that niggas supposed to speak out about everything all the time for everyone when the Epstein list is mostly white men with power and one of his biggest homeboys in the WH right now because everyone but niggas wanted him back in or didn't care to stop him.
I agree that Hip Hop should be more politically active but I also don't like the expectation of black Americans to mule for people and that's what a lot of this Convo always becomes for me.
