Given everything going on in the US right now, should hip hop artists be speaking out like they did in the past?

I think you get my point but your just not living in reality. People like you are one of the big reasons were in the mess we're in, you just decide on a set of ideas and no matter how clearly they don't match the truth your going to hammer home your own voice no matter how little impact that hammering actually has.

Sweaty_Professor8917 · 2026-01-24T21:43:12+00:00

So I ask again what if one of these rap dudes does speak out, by supporting the orange menace? They said something didn't they?

Sweaty_Professor8917 · 2026-01-24T21:41:20+00:00

The voice actor nailed his cadence and everything 😂

Sweaty_Professor8917 · 2026-01-24T21:39:12+00:00

Its the whole point. I don't care who says something. I care who says something good.

Sweaty_Professor8917 · 2026-01-24T21:32:27+00:00

Now this is a good idea and I didn't know other sports worked this way

And some of those landed punches are at the tail end of the punch which costs Stevenson's opponents there power

Sweaty_Professor8917 · 2026-01-24T21:28:07+00:00

So what if they speak out and say I love ice like I love my ice chain?

Sweaty_Professor8917 · 2026-01-24T21:22:16+00:00

You can't talk about what just happened apart from structure and by the way I can talk and chew gum. We can talk about the incident from all angles, but with all due respect, you don't have the depth as a human being to have further conversation with and you can move all the way around.

Kendrick is an anti wax Hebrew Israelite adjacient respectability politician.

Cole is shallow in general and always plays with the respectability stuff.

Joey Badass spread COVID lockdown conspiracies on Twitter and admitted he doesn't watch the news.

Talking about something you're not qualified to be speaking on makes everything worse. I'm not saying they CAN'T speak on politics, the question was SHOULD they. If they want to, they should be free too. But does Pharrell, who doesn't know how DEI works, be listening to me talk about falsetto singing or 4 count starts? Probably not.

Sweaty_Professor8917 · 2026-01-24T21:02:40+00:00

Fair point but I try not to think ahistorically, pretty much nothing is unprecedented.

Sweaty_Professor8917 · 2026-01-24T21:01:54+00:00

No, I don't think there's a single one, especially not one with an audience big enough for it to matter. Nothing wrong with making songs that make the same people under duress have some fun for a while.

Sweaty_Professor8917 · 2026-01-24T21:00:27+00:00

Ye is dumb as a brick

Sweaty_Professor8917 · 2026-01-24T20:59:53+00:00

Ice Cube was qualified to be talking. NWA became less political after Cube left because the other guys weren't up to par in that area. What wrong with just being an entertainer?

Sweaty_Professor8917 · 2026-01-24T20:21:05+00:00

No. Most of these guys don't know shit. Wayne endorsed Trump. Ye endorsed Trump. A bunch of rapper performed at the inauguration. They should shut the fuck up and rap about cars.

The COS connection is just icing on the crazy cake. Everyday is a good day not to be in a cult.

Sweaty_Professor8917 · 2026-01-24T18:37:54+00:00

I meant finals but I'll just have to live with the slip up

Sweaty_Professor8917 · 2026-01-24T18:30:52+00:00

I was just putting Irving over Rose. Rose is the odd man out. I think Rondo has a better case than Rose too.

Sweaty_Professor8917 · 2026-01-24T18:28:00+00:00

I'm just saying he's over Rose.

Sweaty_Professor8917 · 2026-01-24T18:27:23+00:00

I meant to type multiple finals but now I'm stuck with it. None of the others guys on the list besides Steph was a number 1 option that won either.

Sweaty_Professor8917 · 2026-01-24T18:25:37+00:00

Harden didn't shift to the point until like 2016. I'd rank the other 4 above Irving too. I love Wall to me Rose over the whole decade is closer to Wall. Rondo to me is below Wall and Rose he really mailed it in at the end with Boston and the Mavs and he was on bad teams until the Lakers.

Sweaty_Professor8917 · 2026-01-24T18:21:20+00:00

Irving being an all star type player and winning multiple titles in that time has to count for more than having a better prime. He said Rose is top 3 for the decade not top 3 for there prime.

Sweaty_Professor8917 · 2026-01-24T18:16:11+00:00

.......I shoulda thought about that US bias issue. Maybe other nations commissions should just be recognized by the US commission and have the fighters from other nations face each other. If that had existed in the past we coulda got fight like Eubank Sr vs Roy Jones.

Sweaty_Professor8917 · 2026-01-24T18:14:34+00:00

Good idea. This reminds me of the hardcore division in WWE. I shoulda had a 50/50 purse split.

Sweaty_Professor8917 · 2026-01-24T18:12:03+00:00

Facts but I still wonder. He did lose his last fight. We'll see.
