Me, mourning all the rap OGs who left us during this election cycle (by way of acting an ass).
All that pro-Blackness in 90s hip hop by way of the Nation and the five percent came with a side of patriarchy. Guess which one bloomed over time.

I& #39;ma pour some out for them.

Also reminder that there& #39;s no silver or gold plan to predicate the "Platinum Plan" title. Just marketing... because Black people and rap.

Imagine that. Making Fuck the Police and AmeriKKKA& #39;s Most Wanted and now "working with" the man who called for the death of the Exonorated Five in a full page NYTimes ad - THREE WEEKS before the election ends (bc the election has STARTED already).

And that& #39;s the most key point here, to me: the election isn& #39;t IN 3 weeks, it ENDS in 3 weeks. People have voted/are voting - the election& #39;s underway.
The Trump campaign has literally NO platform this year, just rhetoric, and has shown nothing to suggest this will be different.

So this will probably be a sticking point for some, but the difference is, the Biden/Harris campaign has already released plans that address many of the same Black issues in Cube& #39;s plan. So they could say "Bruh it& #39;s hectic right now, let& #39;s talk after."

Trump had NOTHING. Zero plan. Nothing to offer. So basically they were like "Thanks. We& #39;ll take it." And Ice Cube went along with that bc of his ego.

Basically Trump& #39;s campaign bought their term paper from Cube.

Just ACTIVELY working against BW for white men to fck all Black folks over.
"Policy and politics don& #39;t matter as
human decency and principles" is bullshit when your ideas of human decency and principles aren& #39;t the same.

These "leader" ass negroes are just bound and determined to be the weakest fucking link bc they want proximity to power.

Imagine saying that as a southern Black man you almost instantly connected with a southern white man. Imagine saying that shit and imagining we hear anything but you want to be in the good ol& #39; boys club.

BW be trying to tell them.

Also, it& #39;s so telling that even right now someone is defending Cube bc I said that to my knowledge, he had no policy, urban planning or other experts work on this with him, by saying (para) "well like you said, we don& #39;t know."

BUT...

...SHOULDN& #39;T we know exactly what Cube used to put together a whole definitive Black people& #39;s plan to present to the presidential nominees?
Did he caucus that shit and I missed it?
NOBODY& #39;S asking how Cube is qualified to be the Black people spokesperson to present "our" plan.

I& #39;m scared to even ask which candidate got Snoop so riled up he registered to vote at FIFTY (better late than never, but COME ON) because Snoop is already JUST on *this* side of the line for me.
These fools killin& #39; hip hop.

I ain& #39;t forgot about Brad tweeting this the same day he was asking abou a kidney because COVID tore his up, either.

Lemme go stream some Plies.
