Imagine Blueprint with that sense of wokeness or American Gangster with Jay at the top of his game; I like the album but I am not giving him props for being honest over 20 years into his career when he's got nothing to lose: arguably his wife, Kendrick, shit even his sister in law forced his hands. When 2 Chainz is making 'woke' videos he basically had no choice.

That said, i don't think him speaking from his wealth level isn't a useless cause; telling people to invest is a good idea and while we can't afford 2 million dollar buildings, the sentiment translates...much more then that Basquiat nonsense he's been spitting in this decade,.
