View submission: Why are there no current political hits?
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.

Mike’s always been like that. He’s always moved around Atlanta like that, it’s why a lot of folks laughed when he got that new audience (largely white, progressive, left) because he’s always been more of a “Black capitalist” type. Kinda like a business Dr. umar if that makes sense.
