Somewhere in the justice system, two white males are toasting to their continued supremacy.
Even if all jurors came to this conclusion, it's pretty much a precedent for racism for another century.

Y'all still treat your indigenous people like shit, particularly your women who have a high rate of disappearances. So shut the fuck up. Y'all are far from perfect with less than a quarter of USA's population. Easy to throw stones when you ain't shit.

Misguided youth? Brilliant Science Students?
Yea, I should just refrain from posting tonight. Proof that Canada ain't shit either.
Oh well. Maybe in 50 more years black lives will be worth shit.

Sorry I came at you wrong man. We're all heated. I didn't mean to "take it there." We live in an inperfect world where the only thing that seems to work perfectly is the systemic oppresion of poc.
Yeah, it's not an America centric issue, but America's cultural influence is probably the strongest.
I used to do a lot of race research and when you do research on your average, educated university student and find that pretty much everyone has a different degree of pro-White bias, you sort of come to terms with how deeply systematic these issues are. Then you read about the doll experiments and find out society pretty much raises you that way.
Says it all.
On the upside, at least i'm cleaning out my social media.
No matter how i slice it being here is better than any of the 3rd world countries I would have been had I not been here, but this country is Satan sometimes. The government and powers that be here have gotten so comfortable. They've sold the dumbasses that live here a vision of freedom and perfection from a young age, but it's build on bones an splattered in blood.

Tbh after Trayvon Martin I had little hope Wilson would be indited if they let a wanna be cop get off for murder what makes you think they won't do the same for a cop.
I've got inside info from Stones Throw for anyone who cares: They're dying to put out Madvillainy 2 but they can't get DOOM in the studio, even though they're willing to throw money at him. It's half done and getting done really slowly, eventually it'll be out. I know this info isn't anything surprising but I have 100% confirmation from a Stone Throw employee.

Act II. We already got a MF Doom/Madlib album. I wanna see what Jay Electronica has to offer.
This is coming from a guy that thinks Madvillainy is one of the best albums of all time.

Sounds like Doom's either:
- Taking his sweet time to make sure it's perfect, trying to get inspired
- Busy with Nehru among other projects
I'd say both of these would be the reason. Who knows though
I agree but it's not even hate though. I just shake my head when people are wasting their time and breath for something that's been scheduled to release for 7/8 years (that goes for both Jay E and Madvillainy 3 2.
DOOM already put out more than enough piff so he could do whatever he pleases.

Well Macklemore will definitely have something to say since he was out there.
I expect Cole to talk about it on his new album.
Game always seems to come through, and the song he did for Michael Brown and all it's features was pretty good IMO.
TBH I fear ignorant perspective coming out of rappers more than no perspective at all.

To be honest, this shit is why I semi-buy into the conspiracy about how rap became so commercialized so fast. Music does bring people to action and they can't be having that. The same thing happened with rock and punk. We'll hear from independent people and maybe somebody like Game who is on the other side of his career, but nobody at the top will say some shit. Kanye may through in a line in between talking about his velour condom line or whatever, but that'll be about it.

Still waiting on all these other, non-Macklemore rappers to make a whole song about gay rights and marriage equality. They apparently didn't need no white voice to talk about the issue.
I guess it's really hit me that I no longer expect insightful social commentary from my music.
Like WW said, it might get thrown in there as a punch line or more likely mentioned very generally, reiterating what we've already been bombarded with in 100 different permutations via social media and blogs (more outlets to reach people nowadays).
This is part of why I hold Pac so highly, he really put it all out on the table: hypocrisy, systematic issues, desire, contemplation, reflection, even ignorance (of the roots of issues). There was no perspective or side of a story left untouched.
EDIT; Ferguson thread is getting increasingly ridiculous. Time to force myself asleep.

For sure. But when the backlash happened it was because we didn't need no privileged white dude rapping about supporting marriage equality. Except the game sort of needed somebody to make a song about it. And Macklegod sacrificed his rep, traded the indie rep in for being a "cornball" for rapping about shit "everybody" already agreed with. Everybody in the case being nobody in rap.
Like the rest of social issues, nobody wants to rock the boat in rap.Too much money to be had and nobody wants to be Trinidad'd.
Well, I mean plenty of statements have been made in rap. I have no problem with rappers going social, I just don't expect it from everyone after this case. I don't need it from everyone.
I'm just hoping rappers don't go full idiot/ignorant which seems to be happening a lot this year.

Great post. I agree with everything you've said.
Man, the Ferguson news makes me angry. The entire system is corrupt and stinks. This is one of those times where you read something so ridiculous that you are unable to say anything anymore.
And yeah, our rap 'idols' will keep on making music about how they blow money and talk whack shit all the time. Nobody of the 'big ones' will probably do anything more than send a sad tweet or Instagram picture, probably not even that.

It's sad, because if one of the big guys (Jay especially) made a song, others would follow suit. Fuck burning bridges and pissing the wrong people off, this isn't something you let subside until there's an inevitable next time.
Jay-Z would make a song in support of the neo conservatives at this point.
Macklemore, Q-Tip, and Fredo Santana are actively protesting.
Except he went out in favor of trayvon and stood with the family and spoke about it publically, so.
