78. "some lupe media events seem 'manufactured', but i think he genuinely..." In response to In response to 0 Tue Jan-29-13 12:54 AM by k0la
...feels disturbed about the severe challenges facing the community he grew up in and america's self-destructive/hyper-offensive domestic and foreign policies. i'm glad he uses his music and media appearances to express dissent. i like obama generally, but his administration's policies do extend cheney's vision of dystopia. it's caused death and danger without accountability, and it undermines a lot of the liberties that generations before ours worked to achieve, and i think these issues deserve some public discourse.
so he temporarily hijacked an event...is that such a terrible thing? it may have been 'inappropriate', but whatever, he got to speak his mind. they got him off stage so it's not like he ruined the whole event. maybe he got one person to actually consider what he was saying, which i'm sure is worth it to him. was all this just to garner attention to himself? ionno lupe to personally say he would do that, but i hope not.
now if he can just be more consistent with reconciling quality music and constructive messages on the next album, that'd be great.
