These bois are some of my favorites. If anybody has more I would love to listen especially left wing women musicians.

Yes I did brother because his music has a very socialist message. Its a pipe line not every one in it is always correct.

But what message do his actions have? As far as I can tell, between who he's stumped for, his Black-capitalist actions, his landlord-ery, and the fact that the bank he was trying to rep isn't even actually Black-owned, I don't see his music as anything more than the kayfabe he moves units with.

Ya that's a great point, It's a good thing I always pirate my music 😱, I agree with you about "black capitalism", it doesn't change shit it's still just slavery, with different people holding the reigns.

"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss; now they just have our faces." Empire thinks they've gotten slick.

I mean, they have—to people who aren’t aware of class struggle. One of my liberal friends says this all the time about how women and people of color make better bosses and leaders. That could be true in some ways, like how being oppressed might make them more empathetic and less likely to oppress others. But that’s not her point. When I press her for a legitimate answer, it’s always some gender or race essentialist nonsense about how they’re inherently better. It’s frustrating, man. Class struggle is the only way forward.
