Why is Afrocentricity so temporary and seasonal in Hip Hop

[Free Suge Knight, Gucci Mane, & BShmurda Welcome Home Tray D]

I never understood it.  It's like once "The Chronic" dropped everybody wanted to be a killer. 



I mean obviously you have groups like The Roots and you got Ms. Badu and Ms. Scott but that's not what I'm talking about.


I mean, did Travon really have to die for Hip Hop to rally around Pro~Negro'ness?  If that's the cause that's really a shame.



I mean, I don't expect everybody to be my own personal Preacher but out of all the songs on the mixtapes, the albums, the features, the vines, the IGz, the twitters, and all dat, the movies...  All I'm saying is where's the Symbolism at?  The ideas, the inspirations, ufeelme



Why is it that it's only exclusive to artists like Nas and Common?

cause some people are hypocritical, stupid, and selective.  the roots, common, talib, nas, erykah, dead prez been makin' that music only to fall on deaf ears now everybody up kendrick's ass like he introduced some groundbreakin' shit to hip hop.

the problem with those other artist they had all the right tools but had no charisma

Not necessarily true.  I honestly believe that we've all been under psychological warfare with the shit.


Make positive rap seem corny by promoting boring artists (unlike Kendrick).  And make the more likable/hardcore artists have little to no depth to their "character".  Real shit








My thing is, why all these dudes don't say nothin, social media/interviews etc.  Even in their music on some mixtape chit.  I know it's wise to be PC at times so I understand the biting of the tongue at certain moments but all of the time is ridiculous.  No excuse for it
