I think Ye and Kyrie are dumb as fukk
but I do agree with the sentiment that people are making about their purpose
and I do like how people are breaking it all down and ironing shyt out
the only problem I have is....Kanye IS supposed to be the light and use his resources to gather intel and positions
Kyrie isnt supposed to fukk his money up, UNTIL AFTER he secures all bags he can get
They had the path and platform to raise people... but they tried to martyr themselves to look cool... words dont help
Kanye wanted to be in White fashion so bad... I tried to explain that to people during the Sway interview... he got mad because he wanted to say "White people are gatekeeping" and Sway kept saying "Well why cant you just do it, you're Kanye" ..... Kanye didnt want to get blackballed by saying "I want to take over the white market and they wont let me"
So he got mad and said "You dont have the answers SWAY" .... I been trying to tell people this since it happened. All you gotta do is watch the interview with that knowledge
The thing I'm mad about is that they both broke through and took the money... they already knew the game, everyone does. You have to secure the bag and bring it to the people.... they just fumbled the bag for white acceptance. So we lost out on actual progress, because their purpose wasnt enlightenment... it was money and power. You let other people with nothing to lose take the verbal fall while you build around them. Jay-z aint taking a fall, not because he doesnt want to... but because he's using his money and power to help black people and create a platform... that's his role.... he's the manager. If Jay-z took the same dive... imagine all the people who dont own their masters... who are still in jail and who fall the fukk apart without his help and outreach.
These other two got mad they arent accepted by whites and destroyed everything, and now they cant help at all. Their role wasnt to be a mouthpiece .... their role was to save the mouthpiece with their platform and money to create a safety net! Now there's no money, platform or net. Kanye could have just finessed his way into actual ownership and hire more black people. Now he fukked his name up and he's shyt out of luck with a seemingly sinking network and stigma attached.
Other races are playing chess, these two are playing checkers. You dont sacrifice a billion and a platform ... you build off that bytch.
The same nikkas you dissed, threw you the alley oop to 180 that bytch ... all they had to do was bring in students to eat off that platform
other nikkas are sending whole paychecks back to where they lived and building off that foundation
you are the chosen one... gotta know your position in the game and act accordingly ... you are the bread and butter not the mouthpiece.
Puff and Suge are a great example... I love Suge, hate Puff... but you dont do what Suge did... you are the foundation, you get other nikkas to handle that MOB shyt... you do like Puff does and play dumb and hire people to take those L's.... then you got Shyne and Pac type nikkas who will do the dumb shyt for you. You keep the label afloat with life rafts and vests ready. Your job isnt to take an L ... you are the general.
