View submission: Why are there no current political hits?
As soon as the Atlanta riots popped off Mike talked about how much respect he had for police and told everyone to go home and vote.

This was so insanely disappointing lol.
After that I stopped listening to them until about one month ago because I was nostalgic for their beats. And their stuff still hits! It’s just so insane that they trotted him out to say all this shit that was so diametrically opposite of everything he wrote. Like I know it’s silly to treat *all* music like it’s autobiographical but when it comes to repeatedly espousing politics that instantly fold when shit hits the fan it’s like, what was any of that for man?
Did El-P ever do anything like that? I know he has Mike’s back and they’re friends, they wouldn’t just have some falling out about it, but I really just do not remember ever seeing him groveling about people using “the proper, approved levers for change” like Mike was doing.

Yeah destroying your own community (or even worse, destroying the community of the people you're pretending to care about and defend) is a much better decision than what he suggested.
