which was born out of the relative silence on women who are victims of police/vigilanty violence... and then the song only mentions like 3 women.

Initially I was also rubbed wrong because immediately... like minutes after the songs release, the media was calling it a "powerful new protest song" and saying shit like "black lives matter has a new theme song." I didn't like that because I think a movement has to adopt a song, it can't be cast upon them. But that's my own issue.

I do appreciate artists who understand their platform to speak to the issues though and this is a great way to do that.

I like the idea of more artists jumping on and saying more women's names.

there are a lot more women's names said.
she also closes every show with it

The Eephus tour is funny cuz it's only like 5 dates.
But I've seen Janelle before and she kills it live.
And I saw some videos of them performing this song and it looked dope.

like speakin on shit or leadin marches

i'd get it if it was no women mentioned at all but they mentionin both men and women

i seen they interview on hot97 talkin bout how artists used to be way more active like belafonte wit mlk n da civil rights movement

they wanna bring dat shit back n i aint mad... not like anybody else doin it

especially CONSTRUCTIVE criticism.

But to answer that question
D'Angelo
Brother Ali
Boots Riley
Esperanza Spalding
Killer Mike
Talib Kweli
John Legend
Lil B
J. Cole

that's all I got.

Other artists contributing could be dope musically speaking, but
I really get a visceral feeling from the simple act of demanding
acknowledgment of these victims names.

its less artists actually out in da community marchin n shit

with all types of emotions.

Everything looks like Oprah kissing Harvey Weinstein these days

And that is something that is very hard to do. Explains why artists who should take that chance don't.

I know her and Jay have done some behind the scenes work like posting bail for BLM recently

but this;

http://hypetrak.com/2015/04/beyonce-breaks-silence-about-baltimore-riots-on-instagram/

doesn't seem like it takes alot of effort, compared to cutting a song and a video as in the OP

it would be dope to see some of these acts with huge celebrity speak on the issues.
