    Further proof positive that crackers never ended slavery, they just hid it out of sight.

    “Cause slavery was abolished, unless you are in prison / if you think I am bullshittin’, read the thirteenth amendment / involuntary servitude and slavery it prohibits / that’s why they given drug dealers time in double-digits.” – the one real set of bars Michael Render ever spit

        Negl a lot of my animus towards Render comes from all that “kill your masters” bullshit across 4 RTJ albums then it turns out he’s not only a landlord, but that Greenwood bank shit he was doing is rly just another white institution that he just has a board seat on; shit wasn’t about buying up the block, he’s just completing the landlord-to-finance-bro transition and keeping a patina of radicalism on himself through his bars. Mf is the masters, fuck he mean?

        All that aside, “Reagan” does go stupid hard, tho.

          Fuck, this mirrors my feeling on KM exactly. I’d love to see someone contemporary go as hard as RTJ but with an ML lean. All the ones I know are anarchists or old AF (even though I enjoy them too.)
