How is it el-p at his least inspired? RTJ has churned out some of the most bangin beats ever. Also his rap style is at its most raw and scathing with RTJ, more than its ever been with his solo career

homogenous as fuck dude. the man used to be a legend and a top class innovator, now he just writes metallic 'bangers' that sound like watered down takes of his signature sound.

" Also his rap style is at its most raw and scathing with RTJ, more than its ever been with his solo career"

yeah i prefer when he rapped about some real shit to him just barking out weak rhymes about sucking dicks dunno what to tell ya sorry

I'm not saying he is a literal or full SJW w/e. Just saying he kind of is a sjw of modern hip hop, meaning he's like politically/socially charged like Public Enemy but promotes his support of Bernie and spreads awareness for random social issues on social media to the point where it turns me off from wanting to listen to his music. It's the same thing with Macklemore but Macklemore is much more extreme with it, and does it to the point where it makes his music bad.

i literally don't get u dude, should he just stick to posting photos of merchandise instead of actually speaking his mind and interacting with his audience?

do a little introspection here, is it because u prefer artists who don't post anything political, or do u actually feel awkward with what killer mike is supporting?

Anyone who seriously uses the phrase "SJW" in conversation on or off line, I just don't fux with. That person is just as bad as the group of people he/she is criticizing. Use more mature language, peeps, you're not in high school anymore. Props to Clover, Potsy and Asdf for keepin' it real.

I have no problem with artists who are very political at all. I don't really know anything about the presidential race so no I do not feel awkward about what he supports, nor do I feel awkward when I listen to say Rage Against the Machine. What I do have a problem with is when people in general believe/support something so much that they feel the need to literally shove it down your throat. Killer Mike's Bernie support on social media is just a little too much for my taste that's all I'm saying.

i mean, you could just not follow his pages until the election dies down and just listen to his music which last i checked doesnt have any bars about sanders.

saying he is shoving it down your throat when its your choice to follow him is literally like opening your mouth and placing it directly in the way of an incoming food airplane and then being mad that it went in.

"nobody's shoving anynthing down ur throat, that's why i'm asking: are u uncomfortable with his political beliefs or not?"

I wouldn't say I'm uncomfortable but I definitely get annoyed when individuals advertise some type of social/political candidate/program on a semi-consistent basis. But if that translates to me being uncomfortable with it then yeah I guess.

My parents have never cared about politics and I don't think either of them have ever even voted for a presidential candidate, and I feel like I've definitely inherited that trait, which is cool since I was never intentionally molded into a conservative/liberal or whatever. Probably wouldn't hurt to gain some type of social/political conscience but I just have trouble caring about that stuff tbh.
