    except he already did that like twice on Black Messiah.

  • It would probably be a list of under 5. Artists are either too p**** to step outta line and make a change or are in favor of the evil

  • WRU

    no

    Two people who already make stuff like that. Versus imagining Frank Ocean as an acivist

    Kinda weird that Drake is pro-Palestinian but doesnt translate that into music.

    eye contact

    Saying all this doomed s*** and then saying “within the mainstream anyways” just negates all of it

    how so? im just saying mainstream artists aren't as political in their music because it doesnt appease what labels want them to put out

    you'll find niche artist or bedroom musicians making that kind of music but it wont captivated in mainstream pop culture

    this thread making me sad @op i genuinely wonder why trying things is so looked down upon right now.

    I'd rather have political music that ends up a little cringe than not.

  • Fever

    Honestly a solid 1/4 to 1/3 of random hardcore/punk bands no one has ever heard of with a couple hundred followers from their little town/city/scene

    None of them blow up or get any more listeners than that and it feels like something is happening to prevent it

    The band got cancelled before any more records went out

  • Barry Gibb

    None

    None that work in the mainstream industrial complex, yes
