    Billy Woods and Elucid are not prescriptive artists. They are descriptive, critical, pessimistic, darkly funny. That extends to all history not just Amerikkka's.

    I don't think it's for you lil bro. Go put on some Ghais Guevara.

    i dont need them to rap about commodity value but the fact that they definitely use left aesthetics in their music while being at best two anarkiddies is very funny

    also funny u mentioned ghais guevara who had a public meltdown about no longer being a marxist for some reason. u shoulda told me i should put on Lets Get Free for a millionth time where they were spitting some real left game

    i also gotta wonder what would be the thing that makes us turn on some of these 'progressive' collaborators of alc eg elucid and billy woods i know we prob wont but these dudes are wack as f*** on the low too

    when you think about it they sold us these random vaguely left wing namedrops and we decided theyre sankara in the flesh for some reason meanwhile both are at best anarchists and repost anti lenin bullshit on their ig or do interviews about muh bad soviet union with libtard russian expats

    we got some self criticism to do not saying the music isnt good though

    tankie thinks if u are anti tankie u are anti left

    Wait is he really a Zionist? That’s depressing to hear. He’s done legendary things in music

    No he is not a Zionist. Or at least he has not said anything about being one. They just see a Jewish man and that's enough to paint him as a zionist.

    Basically just 101 racism

    It’s starting to get real annoying seeing all you whites and white washed suburbanites post about Israel and attack musicians.

    Sht is corny. Go slide in the Middle East if the topic that serious to you.

    these dudes got money but wont throw $25 to someone for some artwork smh

    What artist do you think is making whats in OP for $25? Lmaoo there is a severe disconnect between the idea of “aw how can he use AI instead of paying artists” and the actual particulars of commissioning artists to do covers. Word to dude who made KOD cover trying to put peedi crack allegations on Cole for something the artist drew lmao because of discrepancies with merch money (he probably wanted to redo whatever agreement they had because he went broke lmaoo)

    It also assumes he wouldn’t just take an old image from Google and put text over it and use that as a cover if you take away AI lol. Artists / people who support AI over artists gotta target the people who fw them instead of whatever this entitled assumptive (is that a word? lmao) energy is lol

    It feels weird to me to count and spend other people’s money because we’ve seen them on screens for 20 years. We don’t know bro bank account tbh and even if its like that, its weird to me to be like “i dont like you anymore because you didnt spend money on what i wanted you to.”

    But even then its way more to commissioning artists than “affording” a commission amount. All types of revisions and what that may cost, different creative visions/communicating that vision, the idea of merch negotiations…i’d personally try to hire an dope artist who style i already align with for the project or do a photoshoot but i get why some people say f*** it
