i have no idea who this is and at this point i'm afraid to ask
good posts though
Nothing inherently, just the art form is typically a vehicle for bad, cringey radlib messages
hell of a whitewashed first paragraph in that article
pretty dope though :rat-salute:
I'll add a lil more context by saying her lyrics were always anti consumer, anti imperialistic and pro black but she thought capitalism was a viable option to get there. Gladly, she listened when people said that was wrong AF lol but I think it's important to note she had revolutionary thoughts but was still bogged down in American propaganda in how to fix problems she's observed. For instance, her songs, Sunday Morning and her feature in Church/ Liquor Store very accurately shone a light on problems caused by capital, calling out the PIC, privatization of needs, and gentrification to name a few. Although the TLDR version is also accurate, I think it's important to note that there was always a little revolutionary in there, she just needed theory to actualize those thoughts and find solutions to problems she's understood was a problem for a while. She wasn't simply a reformed lib.
She absolutely did. Didn't think it was revolutionary enough for her to have a track on it. I wonder if the feature track being a Jay Z and Nipsey Hustle song (very unapologetic black capitalists) has to do with that? They might not of had a soundtrack at that point though, so who knows.
For sure. Not knocking Nipsey, I don't know much about the guy but I do know he was quite charitable. Who knows, maybe if he were exposed to some theory, maybe he'd do an about face like Noname. But there's absolutely no saving Jay. That Kaepernick sucking up to the NFL shit proved that's a dude in a sunken place. He don't care about the people, just his bank account.
