Hip Hop is being exposed with all this silence

[Cladyclad]

Why you say that? What’s stopping them?

Fame? Status? Money?

That virus is around also. I know damn well I would not be out there being I have a bad immune system

I've went from L-Boogie Unplugged to Let's Get Free to R.A.P Music yesterday

...but I'm 36

Can't even fathom who these youths listen to in their peer group with substance for the cause

when it was being said, a percent of the community decided to be gangster rather then leaders. when we tried to shut down gangster rap in the 90's, blacks folks stop us from doing that.

We ended up shutting down the conscious part of rap back in 93, when people like Sticky Fingaz said that Chuck D out of touch with the streets.

Now look at us nearly 30 years later.....looking lost because rappers we support from "the streets" are scared to speak up for George Floyd in a non-cliche tone, because they afraid of losing some fans and sponsorships due to poor money management and having expensive tastes.

Black people suffered long enough from generational setbacks. Time to give the day of reckoning to these c00ns and sellouts and poverty pimps and FINALLY justice gets it due.

sticky fingaz was a young pup in the game when he said that. he was not trained to show respected the elders in the game. you need to respect the fact that are artist in the game who don't know enough to speak out on certain issues

It's easy for any artist to post a message on twitter or the gram. But who been riding for black people for a while now, not just when it's trending. Go back to any Scarface album and he riding for the black community.
