I one starred the thread because Im tired of Rappers doing this fake show if support shiit.
If you a gangster and you want to show support...why is Zimmerman walking around free in YOUR state and you aint do no gangsta shiit? If you are not a gangster and you want to show support, why haven't you galvanized your young listening audience to take an organized stand through a boycott, through voting or something?
:camron:
R.I.P. t-shirts and some rap verses don't mean shiit.
To make things worse...One song they make will talk about how I made Zillion off of Coke and I fuucked your biitch on my marble floors and the next song, the fake symbolic show of support song, is basically the same thing but they put an R.I.P Trayvon or Mike Brown in the back ground.
If they really gave a fuuck they would speak out against whats going on in a direct way. On media or in their music. Not just a random bar here and there.
Breh, you're rich and people listen when you talk...if you want to show support call out the racist system and call your fans to action and say..."this is what we need to do..." If the rapper dont know nothing about community politics then link up with people who do and use your popularity as a platform.

"bu bu but then he would loose his marketing or even worse, he'll loose his record deal"...okay then don't say nothing at all. If the rapper is thats scared to upset his owners that feed him his scraps...just keep ya mouth shut all together and don't even put Fergusion video and Mike Brown pics up
Tupacs phone conversation with Monster Kody is exactly why I hate these half-assed fake rappers...
Tupac wasn't getting paid like none of them niiggas and was willing to do way more for the community than they are. While he was alive he organized drives to help the under privileged. He always used his voice and popularity to build and speak for the community. And on some g-shiit he was out in the '92 riots bustin his gun and caught a case for shooting two racists dudes for harassing a black man. Meanwhile these fuuck boys make a video with a Mike Brow picture and they dont even talk about the Ferguson situation in the song...
Yes, its not their job to do anything...that's cool. If you not gonna do anything real...STOP FAKING like you care.
