Yeah without a doubt the ruling is based on racism, but I wish people didn't just treat a rapper who heavily contributed to the corrosive materialism and misogyny in hip hop for his own gain to the tune of millions of dollars as some dissident poet or something. Most of popular hip-hop is reactionary and attempts to make poor black people feel personal shame for being poor, and this is literally the guy who pioneered "Bling Bling."
We love talking about CIA conspiracies but CIA could not have asked for a better psyop to fracture black solidarity and social mobility than the Cash Money Records brand of rap music. Even their in-house producer, Mannie Fresh, sometimes asks if they ruined rap music. And again, I am saying this as somebody who has listened to most of the stuff they've put out.
