For those saying the artists can't win whether they speak or stay neutral

Could you be anymore obvious??


We get it. What we've been observing around the coli post mike brown is how a lot of posters are beginning to see the role entertainment plays within a white supremacist system.


If anything most of us empathize with the artists who in the grand scheme of things whether they speak up or not are just pee-ons.


To politicize or monetize this issue at the moment is silly..

Game
Yo Gotti
Fabolous
Wale
Puff daddy
Curren$y
Problem
2 chainz
Rick Ross
Swizz Beatz


Would've made more of an impact taking to the streets last week.. Not to speak like Nelly but be amongst the children who falsely look to them as role models


When they're funded by the same system that is protecting mike browns killer.


Justice not politicization or monetization is what is needed now. After that exploring how one can change the system for the better.


Still salute Game for doing all he knows.. All he could do...

He was slave to Interscope and Jimmy Iovne

How do you know for a fact that it's not genuine? :what: Rappers should be some of the main people to push a positive message. Why? Because they have a huge impressionable fan base. If people will listen to them rap about the hood, the streets etc, why wouldn't they listen to this message. It's all about balance breh.

I was a little kid when all those rappers released "self destruction" and "all in the same gang" But by your thought process, it wasn't "genuine" either? :comeon: Should those artist back in the day NOT have said anything :stopitslime:

@jilla82 you gonna just duck from responding to this? :comeon:

Question: were all the so called "goons/gangsters" that were out in the streets of Ferguson/st.Louis rioting, throwing tear gas back at police/ marching and protesting for anime Brown. Should they have not been out there simply because they may have sold dope/been in the streets etc? :what:

I actually was going to ignore this...I get tagged so much from cats calling me c00n I just ignore a lot of it :skip:

the rappers on Self Destruction were nothing like these clowns...so lets ignore that.

Same Gang was nothing but a Self Destruction clone...even still, gangsta rap was different back then. NWA etc... would always end up saying how that shyt was a waste of time...and there was a lot of story telling.

Rick Ross's whole M.O. is he's a drug king pin...I just dont buy these cats (and I think the song just sounds corny).
Rappers now are nothing but opportunist...they will rap about anything if it means profit. They dont care about the kids, or their people (not saying they have to)...just dont patronize us with this struggle We Are the World.

It's good these shot-callers and big ballers took a time out to address this crisis we got going against The Pig Brigade. I thought these "rappers" were preoccupied with just making it rain and shyt:ehh:

@jilla82 is a shameless worthless piece of sh!t c00n, his responses in the thread in tlr has proven as much...the less you know about his opinion on anything even tangentially related to mike brown, the better
boy I dont even know who you are...but from the way you think you know me...I bet youre one of these coli Militant keyboard jockeys.

Put on your beret, go outside and make a change if you have all the answers.

The rappers on "the same gang" rapped about the same shyt as the rappers in "don't shoot" true or false? You are clearly givin those old school rappers a pass for doin the same shyt that the rappers are doin today. Gangsta rap is gangsta rap. What's the difference between eazy e talkin about shooting other black people or when Rick Ross says it :comeon: At least be consistent bruh.

I was out there in the midst of it all in the heights of the protest...no beret though...on the first sunday when sh!t went to hell, i personally stopped a young brother from needlessly jumping some random white journalist...i wish it were you in his place, i would've did the shmoney dance as they beat your c00n ass senseless right there on west florrisant :pacspit:
