The point Im going to make in this series of threads is this new age, 3rd generation revisionist hip-hop history put out there hides the fact that a lot of these gatekeepers and hip-hop "heroes" are the NIGGAS WHO HANDED IT TO THE SUITS.
Once you got rid of Black Power messages from P.E., it was bound to happen. White execs feel 1000% safer when they are gangsta rappers killing black folk, but are SHOOK to death when the likes of Chuck D, Paris, or Cube makes aggressive socially conscious records.
