I like these threads because people get to post raccoon pictures and gifs

though contra that drawing I think Raccoon Tanuki fulfils an important role in the ilx ecosystem
― they TRY to look like GOOD people (soref), Wednesday, 7 January 2015 23:17 (nine years ago) link
leave it to ILX posters to start talking about "Macklemore" and feminism and gay rights and transgenders. This is hilarious. Why do I even post here with you saps. I'm losing swag by the second with you lames.
great post

We should use this thread to post DOPE current explicitly political rappers imo
I like mick Jenkins
Also raccoon t should check out the jacka whose new tape is packed with pro black agit prop
Underachievers don't rlly have a coherent message but they def incorporate lots of the imagery and iconography as a kind of hook

That Dizzy Wright track is really good.Also, good to hear Nikkiya again, really like her voice, that SpeakHerLove album was fun...........

Never did figure out the unambiguously explicit, content-based political rap embed game:

whoops, that was just the same link.

if he won't acknowledge that Vince Staples song as 'political' then idk we should probably start a new thread to post good songs into instead of losing them in this nonsense
― Spottie, Thursday, 8 January 2015 00:41 (nine years ago) link
Some of this concious stuff doesn't age that well, even at the time I used to wince at the KRS One tracks where he tries to chat like a ragga mc from the Yard. In recent times old lags like Juicy J and Gangsta Boo have released far better albums than anything from that era imo. At least in this era twats like Brand Nubians are recognised for what they are - completely fucking worthless hateful arseholes.

^all these are out of the 617
you don't have to look all that hard to run into this type of stuff, if you listen to local hip-hop at all. the local scene is laced with it.
― never have i been a blue calm sea (collardio gelatinous), Thursday, 8 January 2015 03:03 (nine years ago) link
so i pretty much disagree that "socially conscious" lyrics are not part of "the fabric of hip hop identity" (to quote the OP) anymore. not from where i sit, anyhow.

Haha. As an activist transgender black feminist rap fan, whose freaking day job is working with black youth (some of whom are aspiring rappers with explicitly political content) to help them navigate systemic -isms, and who has despised Macklemore for a good decade or so, fuck you and your swag.
― The Reverend, Thursday, 8 January 2015 04:15 (nine years ago) link
Seems like the main problem is our poor racoon has never had his received wisdom challenged and flips whenever anyone brings a critical analysis to the table that doesn't align with the worldview he's already ingrained. Also, I'm not sure if he is a black racoon or a white racoon but he seems to think that only the interests of straight cisgender black men (and other clever mammals) can qualify as political, which is especially suspect if he is a white raccon.
― The Reverend, Thursday, 8 January 2015 04:24 (nine years ago) link
I'd also like to point out that he is asking for artists that have appeared within the past ten years when the list of artists in his OP first appeared over a more than 30 year period, and a few of them only released their most political work after the 90s.

the David Banner shout-out in the Tef Poe track rev posted reminds me that he hasn't been mentioned yet ITT

Xp: was wondering about that post myself.
― how's life, Thursday, 8 January 2015 04:53 (nine years ago) link
(xp ... altho Banner was around before the mid-00s, which means he might be arbitrarily excluded from RT's extremely labile classifications)
― I can just, like, YOLO with Uber (bernard snowy), Thursday, 8 January 2015 04:56 (nine years ago) link
I guess I don't care whether I'm talking to a sock or not... I must have become truly jaded. #shrugemoticon

weird to me that no one cared about new national anthem; one of the better tracks on the album imo

I don't think it matters much whether he's a sock, but Paul Edward Wagemann wasn't a sock either, as far as I know...

Isn't this the exact same thread you made a few weeks ago?
― Moka, Thursday, 8 January 2015 07:15 (nine years ago) link
Well, my response is the same as in the past thread: blame Pharrell

He also collaborated with Daft Punk so before you start the "when did EDM became so corporate?" :
Pharrell. Fucking Pharrell.
― Moka, Thursday, 8 January 2015 07:33 (nine years ago) link
If given the chance he will ruin our last bastion of non corporate music: Salsa.
