We don’t think you fight fire with fire best ; we think you fight fire with water best. We’re going to fight racism not with racism, but we’re going to fight with solidarity. We say we’re not going to fight capitalism with black capitalism, but we’re going to fight it with socialism. We’re stood up and said we’re not going to fight reactionary pigs and reactionary state’s attorneys like this and reactionary state’s attorneys like Hanrahan with any other reactions on our part. We’re going to fight their reactions with all of us people getting together and having an international proletarian revolution.

been tellin yall killer mike is corny AF with his stupid ass "im the black friend at the brooklyn heights white ass ironic ugly christmas sweater party" music
cant even talk about black shit without catering it to white suburban waiting in line for the supreme brick teens and yall ate it up for years!!! CORNY not even a good rapper like damn nerd ass music school house rock for white rich kids
the type of music white people say they prefer over "normal rap music about money and bitches"
brockhampton ass mfers
pretty sure in the time i made this comment a RTJ fan has already gotten jumped in the neighborhood they tryna gentrify with their parents money and got his "anti social social club" hoodie stolen
edit: i am so sorry i know im going in
sucks their fans suck but it's not like it's much better with 'non-woke' rap. the entire game is and has been about selling records to white teens (i.e. the folks w/ the most disposable income and most time to stan you)
idk I'd just rather listen to rtj & brockhampton than another homophobic/misogynistic Trouble song
at least now those elitist kids are listening to those two and not rhymesayers or whatever
if I hear one more motherfucker talk about his favorite Gibbs album being Pinata on the other hand...
it is true that regardless of what the type of rap is being sold, its targeted towards white kids with money, but i will say that in my experience ive found non woke rap that eventually becomes pop-y to at least be a little more authentic, raw, more interesting and relevant to my personal black experience, but still, very problematic.
id say that money and bitches music is on average more problematic than woke rap, but woke rap also has a history of being very misogynistic, homophobic, etc so i dont think i can use "more" as a qualifier.
i think im reacting less to the RTJ fans being stupid ass white kids and more to the fans being stupid ass white kids with a chip on their shoulder, who think theyre edgy or just woker than thou for listening to music that is purposefully made to be extremely accessible to the white rich teen.
also just as a black person i dont find RTJ rapping about reagan in 2012 that special or edgy or especially cool. like my black parents were reagan babies, my whole neighborhood has reagan babies, this shit isnt some new stuff i read yesterday (not saying killer mike read it yesterday too but sometimes his raps are very "HAVE YOU HEARD THIS" and as a black person it just feels like he's not talking to me because of course ive heard it)
that jives for sure. especially the edit. I do dig that song but...yeah it's not like it was groudbreaking content
also I hadn't stayed up to date w/ the brockhampton sex pest shit they can pound sand, I rescind my endorsement
I'm just glad Kemba hasn't blown up, I don't want woker-than-thou fans to ruin that for me either

Brockhampton nice though.
i know, they have some bops, even saw them in concert (lol it was the only concert i went to where the bar line was like 2 ppl bc the show was full of kids) im just saying that i think i can jump them and given that theyre like 15 of them i dont think that should be the case
edit: if you look like matt champion, please dm me
Hahahaha yeah they nerdy band kids. But they don’t really pretend to be something else.
nah totally. i will say thought that there some weird allegations about assault/rape/abuse around their band which is weird because they do pretend to be into consent
Didn’t know about that. That fucking sucks.
yeah thats actually why they kicked ameer out of the group to address it but since then theres been more shit about the remaining band members
Sauce? Haven't listened to them for over a year as they haven't released any new good stuff, but I didn't know it goes beyond Ameer.
here you go: fair warning i found it through the brockhampton sub so ppl in the comments are calling it BS so CW for assault/rape/racism etc denial
the reddit post links the google doc which i havent read through it all (its 130 pages apparently) but CW for stories of alleged assault/rape/racism etc:
