BigBlackAfrikaTue 10 Apr – Lupe Fiasco, Gym Class Heroes
Well beyond my expectations. I live in an ass backwards state (SC) and not by choice (Grad School and it's a bubble so I'm reasonably protected from most of the ignorance except for that damn swastika of a confederate flag I drive by every morning). So when I heard Lupe was coming to town I jumped at the chance as one can equate this with Louis Farrakhan visiting the White House. Considering the crowd I was curious about how real the man was going to be. To my surprise he not only kept it real in every sense on the word, but also showed the good sense to research his facts. I went to undergrad in Atlanta where something like this is viewed at least among my group of friends as the norm. In SC Black People don't appear to have a voice and there is a sense of complacency that’s beyond me. On the other hand White People are like yea I'm racist and here’s a flag to prove it. I appreciate the fact that he came down here and didn't overlook this place as I think many artists do because the culture (if you want to call it that). Maybe he woke some people up. “Terrorism comes in many forms” and he was right to point it out. Thank You Lupe for the breath of fresh air and FUCK the swine merchant Maurice!
