Understood, boss. Though, the legitimacy of Japan's homogeneity has been debated on.I feel what you're trying to get at but gender inequality can still exist in a homogeneous culture. peep a nation like like japan link
lupe is still dope but he slipped a little here. ain't no thing, his heart was in the right place.

Hypothetically speaking, if people actually managed to extinguish racism (lol, impossible) and the idea of people being superior to others of different nationality, skin tone, religion, w/e was destroyed... what leg does gender inequality have to stand on at that point?![]()

No offense breh but this is exactly why people hate Lupe, and his fans. He says something stupid, or extremely simple, and his fans scramble to explain it.
Fred.
Getting rid of racism is nothing but a fairytale anyways. To me, that's the greatest obstacle that society could ever hope to overcome. If SOMEHOW (again, I believe this is impossible) people could conquer that I don't see gender inequality lasting that long either...this shyt goes hand n hand to me.Bro, I really had the urge to neg you after reading this shameless sh!t![]()

Then what was he implying with his tweet?Bro, he said "let the first one die and the second one live" and you're claiming that he meant that gender inequality would perish if racism no longer existed. That's not what the sentence implies and as others have already pointed out in this thread, racism and gender inequality are not homogeneous. Tweet was just Lupe being just a smart dumbass n!gga, as usual.

I'm legit lost. Did he misread the tweet as "gender equality"? If so I'll bow out and take my L now
I still stand by there being a correlation between racial bigotry and gender inequality tho
First time he ever rubbed me the wrong way was in the complex article around the time the cool was coming out, when he said he made dumb it down for "the dumb nikkas in the hood.." I was like "huh?"![]()
Breh, I swear to God that's how I took that tweet. Dead ass... I don't know if I'm tripping or whatI fuk with you breh but Lupe didn't even say this shyt![]()

Lol you know this nikka talks in code on some Yoda shyt.The sentence implies that gender equality should live. If he didn't mean to imply that than he shouldn't have tweeted that dumbass sh!t. If he meant what you're trying to say he meant than his weirdo ass shoulda just tweeted some sh!t like "Kill racism and gender equality will follow". Instead he chose the faux-intellectual route and tried to get deep with it. Does the same sh!t in his music and it's the major reason why I can't fvck with his sh!t.

I REFUSE to believe Lupe's dumb enough to simply believe gender inequality should "live on".
Lol you know this nikka talks in code on some Yoda shyt.
I think that's the problem, he was trying to be witty with it and it got misunderstood. That's the consequence of being cryptic
And that's exactly what rubs some people the wrong way about him. He obviously has lyrical talent, why doesn't he just rap well and cut all that cryptic, pretentious "let me show you how much smarter than you I am" sh!t out? Just rap, f@ggot. Smh.

) agree with this. I think his cryptic/abstract approach translates well from an artistic perspective but if he wants to reach more people he's gotta tone it down.I remember when that song came out. That shyt was fukking woat
i think he has his place but it ain't mainstream. I liked that record but the message was flawed.
