What are you talking about? how can an establishment figure (even if he is Black) be the face of an anti-establishment form of music, even when it has been co-opted by the establishment?

If rappers actually tried to motivate, uplift and inspire their listeners then maybe Obeezy would get more mentions maybe?
Would be kind of hypocritical to mention obama and then in your next line shoot another black man or sip lean

Shiz is so DUMB, and doesn't even fit the definition of "culture"...hip hop culturecan somebody define exactly what hip hop culture is in 2016?
Read again, I SPECIFICALLY typed "El Chapo and the likes" i.e. CRIMINALS...El Chapo is the face of hip hop culture? Your name is "Mr. Logic"????
Since Obama has been president, with we go through Hip Hop lyrics, who do you think rappers are glorifying more Obama vs Criminal Drug Dealers...
Criminal Drug Dealers...You people's INABILITY to read and comprehend absolutely ASTOUNDS me...It is as if things have to be spelled out for you line for line...But when poster makes a detailed post, you don't have the concentration to read it all...
So, you can't read detailed posts but at the same time you don't know how to infer from less detailed posts...The only thing you understand are memes and gifs...
We gonna act like Obama isn't the head of an operation that routinely destroys/kills/shoots down Black men though?
That is irrelevant...These "OGs" aren't as powerful as Obama, yet they names are GLORIFIED in Hip Hop...
Why is the "plug" getting more shine than Obama?
Statistically, Black People are the ones killing Black People...If Obama was the face of the Ultimate Black Man in Hip Hop, less Black People would be getting shot by their neighbors...We gonna act like Obama isn't the head of an operation that routinely destroys/kills/shoots down Black men though?
Black Americans are the ONLY people in the world who have a culture of killing each other because of which street they live on...I was watching a First 48 Hrs episodes about some kids in Florida, Miami killing eachother because some were from 100th street and the others where to streets down, it made me SICK...
But that's some people's culture, so I can't judge it...It just the way they adapted to their circumstances...

Only an idiot would compare recreational drug use to shooting and possibly murdering someone.
And lets not act like Obama isn't a stranger to narcotics use.
