People take this stance so callously why are people so pro capitalism for no reason?
In theory, yes, but when you broke, young, all you see in the other direction is your peoples breaking their back everyday, unhappy... and this is a pre-internet era (and people still get got today) is it really that hard to empathize why they and many other acts from the time period made the decisions they did?
Everyone wasn't a dope dealer like P to really know how to hustle.
I think that if fans weren't so quick to **** ride these labels and be like "read what you sign" and instead it was more of "Universal/Sony/etc. we straight on you until De La Soul gets their **** straight. Artists too. A lot of the problems black people complain about could be solved if people put their personal opinions or stances to the side to make bigger financial statements.

i feel like dude finna show out these next few years.
Labels were doing that BEFORE hip hop. Literally since the inception of labels in the 1930s and 1940s. It’s that “sharecropper” mindset. I’ll let you grow crops and even inhabit my land, but you’ve got to pay me.
I grew up with a lot of people who frowned upon education or READING, and comprehension. You’re pretty much asking to get finessed. What makes you think

is pro capitalism? Nah, he’s pro “learn how to read, comprehend, and educate yourself”.
Folks want to be ratchet, hood, ghetto, ignorant, and illiterate... until they realize they’re getting took for money
If we as black folks stop frowning upon education, we would not be here. Stop pointing fingers and be accountable. You will not progress, if you’re never accountable for your actions.
And now you want bigger financial statements (pretty much insinuating that folks should beg for monetary assistance) when people like Jay-Z have been a preaching about balancing your finances for DECADES?? But on the flipside, you got dudes getting sensitive about dude making a joke about, the “money phone” trend? Why even bother helping these kind of people?
It’s either hustle or get hustled
