Comment on The lack of "real world complaints" and "anger" in popular music genres helps keep the masses docile

which is very easy to find in punk rock and some variations, as well as rap.
When it comes to rap, it was far easier to find.
I'm not alone in noticing that a lot of mainstream(!!!) rap has become a minstrel show, glorifying capitalism, and racist stereotypes about black people.

Yeah, I should’ve mentioned that “root” or “OG” rap went into that more often

Here's a few (many still not that new I admit) to get you started - mostly rap but not all rap. Not posting these to argue with you, posting to help you discover some new music. 🙂

Can’t seem to find a way to make the link work as something to see from within one’s own instance.
For me it should be this: musicwithamessage@kbin.social, the link is
c/musicwithamessage@kbin.social, but I guess due to how kbin orders its communities as magazines,/m/instead, it doesn’t quite work? m/ instead of c/ gives a 404be_excellent_to_each_other@kbin.social 1 year ago
There is a way to sub to Kbin magazines from Lemmy, unfortunately I don't know what it is.
On the kbin side I can search all "magazines" for keywords and Lemmy communities will come up there, and I can sub that way. I'd assume there's a similar reverse method on the Lemmy side.
If someone more knowledgeable wants to let me know how to format the link in a way that will work for Lemmy folks I'll remember it for the future.
