It's so disappointing to hear Killer Mike spit revolutionary lyrics like in 'close your eyes' only to find out IRL he's into lame shit like black capitalism.

only to find out IRL he’s into lame shit like black capitalism.

Does it mean something other than what is here, or did I miss something offensive in skimming through the entry?

This isn't one of those lame "now they are the machine" posts is it?

Nobody's perfect 🤷‍♂️

or they changed. 30 years is a long time.

their debut was released

3 years after the fall of Berlin wall
a year after the dissolution of USSR
9 years before the September 11 attacks
15 years before iPhone
24 years before the election of a reality tv entertainer/real estate conman as POTUS
China wasn't a superpower back then
EU didn't exist in its current form
Apartheid was still an actuality
internet wasn't omnipresent
