Most of these entertainment aggregator companies covering Tekashi are just as much a problem as he is to the continued exploitation of dysfunction and selling it to Black youth. Tekashi just a symptom he not the illness. As far as cooperators the street and industry has always
Had celebrated and sometimes revered cooperators. Tekashi pretending to be Sammy Gravano, is all promotions and marketing. Gravano took responsibility and was a legit tough guy. Tekashi has taken no personal accountability for putting hits out, participating in crimes,
Or getting people who he had no beef with jammed. He shouted out the federal prosecutors on his case who I know personally like they are homies. Make no mistake about it as it goes for prosecutors they are stand up but they regularly send young poor men to shit loads of time
What tekashi isn’t educating his fans to is what does a federal cooperation mean. It means your supposed tell on everything you ever did and who you did it with. Decent people always get jammed up as a result of other people cooperation.
His succesful marketing after his crimes and cooperation is really an indictment of the entire system. Capitalism, Legal system, entertainment industry, corporations, and the citizenry.
It shows that these rich and powerful guys will do any and everything to exploit Blackness, the profit that comes with it is just a by product. The real currency is the ability to control the narrative and keep Black youth in check from thinking and rebellion
All these bonehead rappers some of them legendary, some of them the flavor of the moment are once again missing the mark. They just seeking relevance in a new system that they aren’t movers and shakers anymore.
That new space is the digital misinformation age.
Like imagine if all these young toughs in all the tough oppressed neighborhoods stop fucking with this pop culture shit and the gangs altogether because they peeped game. Which is that shit is a trap.
Imagine if they realized that the real predators are the corporations and legal system and became militant minded and told all the exploitive big homies in the jails and street fuck you we going this way...shit would change overnight
Reason being is all those young toughs are the tastemakers in the hood and everyone knows it. The problem is they aren’t being educated because the community is broken and all those who seemingly “made it out” aspire to whiteness.
Imagine if Bobby Shmurda and Rowdy Dane out in some Bobby Hutton, PE shit?! It would become trendy to become smart and militant over night. Problem with trends though are they are easily replaced and easily manipulated. That’s why all this shit sucks for the most part.
The real currency is keeping Black youth distracted while extracting the historical dysfunction created by whiteness as entertainment and just normal. Over time everyone just accepts it to some degree.
Some will say it’s “just entertainment” some will say “Don’t blame me I’m just the messenger” some will say just relax it’s “art” and a host of other proclamations. It’s really just a never ending repetitive circle of control.
That everyone is in on. Go walk up in these labels, PR companies, entertainment law outfits, management companies etc and you will find no shortage of programmed complicit minds. Free thinking does not live in those places and spaces.
The artist who do get it either don’t get the chance if they do get in there and get it, many of them want out.
Meanwhile white liberal and conservative corporate industry is mesmerized with the dysfunction. You know how many reporters over the years have reached out to me to discuss the dysfunction but not the root causes?!!
I look forward to the day that Black youth at the bottom of the social structure say fuck the distractions and peep game. It starts with education though and no I don’t mean these shitty schools, they are also a part of the problem.
Many of these Artist know the truth to but they want their shit to be Jay z so they will tow the line. In fact that what most of these so called artist lives become. Towing the line for whiteness to make sure the natives don’t start rebelling and tearing shit up.
Black kids have no friends. They only have a long line of exploiters of all persuasions looking to prevent them from being.
Black entertainment elite class are some of the most misguided, uneducated, easily manipulated people around. Every activation and initiative by the majority of them are curated by whiteness. In many ways they are like the Black intellectual class & Black professional class.
All see just seeking whiteness. So I’m closing the Tekashi distraction will remain a distraction until he is no longer useful and the next spectacle and distraction comes along. Distractions are easily replaceable. It’s about control over these Black bodies.
How it’s done and who does it is of no consequence.
think about how ridiculous this case was from the very beginning and no he was not an industry govt plant.Was Snoop or any other gang member that was embraced by corporate America a plant? Of course not. Those guys just repreeent Black Death in some way. The obvious was exploited
Think though. A Gang that has been under investigation since I was a prosecutor in 97 had what they saw as a cash cow. Them and their cash cow equally exploited one another through the digital age to get props, clout and money. Money being the last object. No one was thinking.
The gang did crimes and violated rule numero uno which is don’t record yourself and stay the fuck off social media. They went a step further into stupidity by sending the recording to their digital and social media contacts to broadcast the crimes to millions.
The prosecutors used that to bring the case and get probable cause for a title 3 wiretap. On the wiretap they continue talking, texting, using phones and social media etc the feds then use that to turn cooperators like they do in every rico case. Grand opening, grand closing.
Gang members go to jail for football numbers. Cooperator gang member becomes victim and makes more dysfunctional music. White corporate America capitalizes. Legal system says they got the bad guys. Digital exploiters have new currency. Dumb rappers have dumb commentary.
Some where on the street and jail some misinformed, uneducated, or both young soul with little perspective says you know what: “I can do that shit for real I’m just not gonna get caught & I’m gonna keep it real” or”If I get caught I’m telling” or some variation of the two.
You turn on the radio morning mindless shows, or mindless shows on complex etc or this gangster or famous person or mogul IG live and it’s the same stupid commentary. No one telling the truth.
Those who know the truth, whisper it like they might get shot if they tell the truth or they keep their mouth shut. The federal system and rikers and the lobby on the street with all the young toughs who has promise but they fell for the okie doke.
Despite their desires to be the next Meech or BMF or Jay or 50 or Puffy or Snoop or Kanye or Virgil or Tekashi etc None of those people with all that platform, fame or money has given those at the bottom a viable road map or blue print that’s adaptable to their everyday lives
Those so call gem dropping moments all fairytale shit that has no real meaning but to make them seem like gods to their sycophants.Also they not interested in that because they know if these young toughs really understood things they would see them for the distractions they are
The Grainge’s Cohen’s Moskowitz’ Iovine’s, etc of the world. Are far removed untouchable Yoda’s who all the Black super humans emulate up close or from a distance. Those guys provide the road map so that the Black guys keep the natives dumb and distracted. They’re reward?
They are handsomely paid to be right next to but not actually white.
Until their white handlers move on to the next sexy situation. Those guys get off actually saying and believing that they know what Black youth are and what they need. Their conversations are different amongst themselves and toned down amongst the Blacks hand chosen to be close
The new thing is for the Blacks who are now shot callers to develop a social justice arm. Headed and funded by all white people and staffed by mostly white people from the legal side to finance to accounting to philanthropy. They give the appearance of moral and social justice.
The pr result: “They really care”. The Black middle class and old guard Black entertainment elite jump on board. The perfect marriage. No real agenda to remove the purposive and systemic institutional racism they become complicit in just low hanging fruit PR agenda’s.
Like who can’t send out a press release on some sensationalized injustice!? Lol. Or throw money at some organization or foundation that only looks good at the banquet but the people don’t go anywhere near where the problem is.
They certainly not getting up with the people who are putting in the work and not about clout. Shit is so transparent. The movement that makes it transparent to the young toughs and those bright but hopeless wins.
Until then it’s more of the spectacle everyday where we participate in these bullshit activations thinking this will change things. Saying dumb cliche shit like “for the culture”. What fucking culture y’all talking about?
if it’s one thing I have observed about a lot of Black people in the entertainment business administrative side is they have a cultish and cliquish vibe to keep the facade going. It’s like they in a special club.That’s one group willing to be abused for an end if I ever saw 1
Remember objective is to cross over, not just the artist,for all involved. By the way Tekashi has crossed over at this point. He don’t need the gang guys anymore. He got the Grainge and Cohen types kids buying into his special brand of Black Death dysfunction and exploitation.
Also in many instances Black entertainment, music and business execs when dealing with Black people and issues are like Black drug dealers who sold poison to other blacks in the 70’s-90’s. Their attitude was..”somebody gonna do it, might as well be me”.
Alright that’s all I got today, gonna take advantage of being the only one in the office and get some work done. Salute and stay nonsense and sucker free.
Last thing I want to say though. Our youth and us of all ages, genders, socioeconomic background. Owe ourselves but especially our elders and ancestors and what happened and is still happening to us one word and action that comes with it. HONOR, we are lacking HONOR.
With HONOR the bullshit ceases.
Lol one more comment. Don’t know if it’s a rumor or not but anyone upset or shocked that Tekashi would be signed by Roc Nation are not paying attention and don’t understand any of this shit.

Falling in with the times. Many think money, fame, and speaking loud and often mean morals and power.
