Since Florida became the first state to pass an explicit stand your ground law, more than 30 others have passed some version of it,

didnt see that coming

I agree with you on that point. I'm just saying I don't think it's a valid point for most noteworthy rappers - ie not the indie guy struggling to make it. I'm talking about folks with careers, similar to Ray Charles or Stevie back in the day.

I don't wanna hear Jay-Z waxing poetic on this before heading to Miami with Justin Timberlake, for instance.

It depends on who we are talking about. There are a select few that could do something like this that wouldn't wind up getting the "oh okay. We will just book someone else then" treatment without a single care given. All I'm saying

Even blind nikkas can see this injustice, sad shyt! I'm kinda ready for this whole incident to go away.

Everything you need to know about ‘stand your ground’ laws

Fake Activist? You mean the Stevie Wonder who spearheaded the campaign to make MLK's birthday a National Holiday. The Stevie Wonder who worked to end apartheid in South Africa. Contributed to the Charge Against Hunger campaign. The United Nations Messenger of Peace and so much other shyt.....That guy?

 

[chemicalsword]

to stevie for showing these stand for nothing but a dollar ass nikkas that in the grand scheme of things they ain't shyt....

 

[Ninjaz In Paris]

Come on breh. Ray Charles refused to play in front of segregated crowds in the late 50s and 60s. I don't wanna hear shyt about rappers in 2013 being afraid of fukking their money up. Performers back in the day were putting their entire LIFE on the line to stand up for what they believed in.

"But, but... but... Rappers are making millions!"
