how about a Christian, MAGA, 2nd Amendment supporting rapper calling out twitter and facebook for their wokeness?

Bryson Gray is the rapper #CensorMe is the song.

  Checked him out on Spotify, pretty good stuff, leans heavily to the new school of hip hop that I'm not real big on, but he's talking the right messages, which i think should be supported, at least with a few clicks and searches.

Rap or hip hop is a cultural expression rather than an example of what I call "music."

By definition, music has to have three elements - melody, harmony, rhythm. Most examples of rap or hip fail in the melody and/or the harmony aspects.

To each his own and for those who enjoy rap or hip hop, hey, go for it. Not my cup of tea at all, especially when the "cultural expression" involves violence to cops, women, or people. And if the rapper is cutting across the culture with a different message extolling something besides the common "message" associated with rap, all the better.

Couldn't agree more with you Mr. E  :hi5:

And besides that, the music does nothing for me ...

Can't dance to it  (big minus!) plus they speak so quickly most of the time, I can't  keep up with it, nor do I care to do so!  :-)

"but he's talking the right messages, which i think should be supported, at least with a few clicks and searches."

OK, I clicked on it,  &  hopefully, as Rush would have said, the young folks with "minds full of mush" will take it to heart.
