Never heard her with saba, Chance, mick jenkins?
That's what I'm saying. People are gonna view that as you only saying something cuz you are trying to sell stuff to people. You only using your voice for monetary gain.
I mean we can play this angle if you wanna be obtuse about it.
but if you’re being honest with yourself you’d know there’s a reason that tweet gained the traction it did and was subsequently deleted
We don’t look for rappers to be our teachers, role models, or scholars on black issues. We appreciate the content and enjoy the music but that where it stops.

I mean, but she didn't name them. If most people assumed it was about them, then maybe she had a point.
And the pics of Cole at the protest came after she already deleted the tweet.

Speak for yourself
I don't think that's fair tbh.
That is his medium, That is how he has always addressed these issues. Cole barely tweets at all as far as I know.
Ironically the last time I remember him tweeting heavy was about the Kaepernick situation.
He isn't a politician or public speaker. He's a rapper therefore he will put his opinions in song form more often than not.
Like i said, you can play stupid if you want, but “top selling rappers making music about black plight” is pretty specific. Especially when you’re talking about this era.
she got on her high horse and tweeted some dumb shyt then prob realized it was dumb which is why it got deleted. Cole went easy
And there’s no point to be made, she don’t know what those guys do in the community so she’d have been better off focusing on herself and the premise of the tweet was dumb anyway because social justice isn’t a competition
the pics of Cole at the protest came first and then she deleted the tweet
I get that but people are going to view that like your activism is merely for marketing purposes. Like you are like Deray, an Activist™ lol.
This is what I'm saying though. If people are demanding these artists to simply become posters on IG or Twitter, then that's stupid but if they present themselves as woke, as thinkers, as revolutionary types, to be silent during these times (ie not tweet, not post, not share anything) is gonna rub people the wrong way. Like you only support these causes to benefit yourself, to sell stuff.
It probably rings truer to people with Kendrick than Cole imo.

She didn't say it was. She purely mentioned that they were silent in comparison to literally everybody else. That's all.
