The irony is that I literally just got my license reinstated after a brief 2 week suspension and my tags had been expired since the end of July. I just paid for that as well and it's only by the grace of God that no riff raft occurred so now I'm eagerly awaiting both new documents so I can get back to riding clean.
This is all the way real. I'm sick and tired of everything u just named. I shouldn't have to be worried about going to the house safely because of something like expired tags or a tailight being out.
HA! Welcome to the wonderful world of the Saturday Morning Saints. The Mormons, Jehova Witnesses, and others will start coming out now that its getting warm, just like bees.
Very accurate editorial. There are actually a lot more artists such as Kweli, Brother Ali, and Killer Mike who do the same as Bey and King Kendrick but they're not as known on a high profile level. If this keeps up, solidarity music could overcome the blatant ignorance and deliberate exploitation of today's rap
Great read. I think Trump and his views are ruining lots of relationships.
When asked about my views on this subject, I was in full support of this movie for various reasons, but most were selfish (hip-hop biopic, one of my fave groups, etc.), but I definitely saw where Charles was coming from with his views. N.W.A., in all their influential glory, were also a pawn to the scheme of corporate execs and a sleazy manager for marketing purposes instead on genuine authenticity. I get that people grow up and evolve from where they were mentally many years before, but even at age 50, Dre is still promoting some of the same stuff that got him over at the age of 25 when that's not even his life anymore. Hip-Hop just to be about, for the most part, education and being a voice in the community, but nowadays it's become entertainment and other than a handful of artists, it's become the minstrel coon show we feared it would be to where it has become gentrified with spoofs like Iggy Azaelia. Hip-Hop used to be "for the children", but for almost the past two decades, it's become for the corporate office. Do not believe the story of execs not liking hip-hop music, because they're making money off of idiots like Young Thug and it's working.
