I miss Cube. Damn shame he passed. https://twitter.com/icecube/status/769612952609579008
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'ma pour some out for them.

Also reminder that there'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'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's the most key point here, to me: the election isn't IN 3 weeks, it ENDS in 3 weeks. People have voted/are voting - the election'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's plan. So they could say "Bruh it's hectic right now, let's talk after."

Trump had NOTHING. Zero plan. Nothing to offer. So basically they were like "Thanks. We'll take it." And Ice Cube went along with that bc of his ego.
Basically Trump'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't matter as
human decency and principles" is bullshit when your ideas of human decency and principles aren'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' boys club.
BW be trying to tell them.

Also, it'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't know."

BUT...
...SHOULDN'T we know exactly what Cube used to put together a whole definitive Black people's plan to present to the presidential nominees?
Did he caucus that shit and I missed it?
NOBODY'S asking how Cube is qualified to be the Black people spokesperson to present "our" plan.
I'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' hip hop.
I ain'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.
