No gambling scandals.
No domestic violence.
No drug issues.
No DUI headlines.
No locker room drama.
Yet Jaylen Brown is always treated like a villain just bc he’s intelligent and confident in himself. That’s disappointing.
He did 3 things black athletes are forbidden to do:
1. He went against Nike
2. He said he wanted to being back Black Wall Street starting in Boston
3. He said he wanted change the wealth disparity in Boston and take formula worldwide
Hes been on the corporate hit list ever since
This Vince record is also reinforcing what we continue to see with not only rap but with how people view black people and blackness in general.
Crackas will listen to niggas but do not be listening to niggas. Like at all.
Just finished my first listen of the new Vince Staples album. It’s too early for a review but first reactions:
▫️Vince sounds incredibly inspired
▫️The grimy rock production is the perfect backdrop for the messages he’s conveying
▫️This is the album that people have been calling for in rap to speak on what’s going on right now in the world
▫️Vince is the most consistent rapper in the game. Every drop is quality
Excited to spin this back 🔁
