With Black Music Month in full effect this year, African American artists are looking for ways to stay active, motivated, and committed on the fight for social change within their communities in light of the recent deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Adbery and more.
Spurred by the callous disregard for Black lives, artists are hoping to use their platforms as microphones to invoke reform in both the short and long term. Every Friday of this month, we will have an artist speak on today's climate, offer their suggestions for revision going forward, and why being Black continues to be a gift more than a curse.
I already saw all of this. I feel like with all of this sh--t already going on, I've just been floating through it. Being disenfranchised in America is something we've been doing with. At this point, I'm kind of conditioned to it. Police murdered my friend in front of us in 2006. So I've been kind of seeing this first-hand for awhile with police brutality.
The crazy part about that is he got murdered by a Black cop. A lot of Black cops, when they start bleeding blue -- you know, you gotta watch it. It's just the system. It ain't matter if the guy was Black or White, it was the system that he worked for that's controlled by white supremacists. That's why it is what it is right now.
We need more Black control on a political level [in order to make change]. There gotta be more Black mayors, more Black politicians, more Black judges, more Black people actually in power doing things of that nature. People need to go vote and do what they can to change the status of the climate politically. In terms of the music industry changing, I'm blessed to be here. If people want to recognize what I do, then cool. If they don't, then I get it, I understand.
Is Freddie Gibbs a Gemini? Cause he speaks on police brutality but also said “fuck Kaepernick.” I’m confused.
To my African brothers and sisters, just a little something to prayerfully ponder on. P.S. DON'T WATCH THIS VIDEO IF: 1.) You're not an African born and raised abroad And, 2.) If you're not open minded Here's The Video ↓↓ Let's Discuss.
