What an incredible and inspiring weekend for Hip Hop culture. I was honored to keynote and then just be immersed in the inaugural “To The Best Y’all” symposium. My crappy recap reel doesn't begin to do it justice. Rest assured, the CULTURE is alive and well & fully capable of helping save America!

I love racist white folks ridiculing or unable to fully comprehend the title of my book and saying racist things about it, because I'm like, ironically, the idea of book is to help save the country from people like them, so good, they won't see it coming. Boop.

I hear you. It's a bigger discussion, of course, but that's my point. Its way too simplistic to just say "rap" is in the tank for Trump. There are several sea changes happening, just as important to examine. I get into it a bit here, pls forgive the self promo 🙏 open.substack.com/pub/mannyfac...
