"this one goes out to the black community" collects rent
I’m so upset that 1/2 of RTJ is a land lord. I genuinely dig their music and general outline of their message but it sucks so much Killer Mike tries to toe the line be radical and liberal. It really bums me out he’s the exact type of black liberal I am most hate, one with deep knowledge of real black struggle and radical tradition. Like he understands why shit is fucked but then uses that understanding to just keep in line with liberalism.
Also EL-P and Mac Miller (RIP) are the only good white rappers. They aren’t even “white rappers” (which I fear we will see a whole evolution of the white rapper in the come decades) they are rappers who are white.
RTJ3 still my favorite tho.

Huge agree here but I'd also add Potter Payper and K Koke from the UK for great rappers who are white.
Tangentially related but one of my favorite memories is when I was living in China and RTJ3 dropped on christmas eve I think as a surprise release and I spent the whole day posted up on the patio in front of my townhouse drinking and listening to music, probably played that album 3-4 times. This guy who lived in the neighborhood and was always around collecting recycling and stuff I guess to get a deposit came by and was so into it, he stopped and had a beer with me and enjoyed it for a bit even tho I spoke basically no Mandarin and him basically no English. Was one of those human moments enjoying a drink, some good music and good company.
Me too, Killer Mike is someone that disappoints me so heavily. I really liked him when I was younger, he's a skilled musician and definitely understands a lot of shit, but every time I agree with him.
Also, second paragraph is Aesop Rock slander but I mostly agree
Not slander, just forgot. He's also a in the catagory of "rapper who happens to be white" rather than white rapper too.

killer mike is a landlord

And he's really cozy with the mayor of Atlanta pushing cop city
No mumbling? No Vocoder? WHAT? For real, though - thanks for posting!

You don't have to act like a hateful asshole. You choose to.
You were the one who brought in completely unnecessary hate against a completely different style of music.
You like to make assumptions about others. Good luck with that.

It's always a db0'er
It's okay, I'll post plenty of rap with mumbling and vocoder. Young Thug is the guy that inspired me to put a dress on for the first time as a teen
