He's always been this based honestly. Before Twitter you could find his official account on hip hop message boards block-of-texting mfs about Tiananmen
Their first album opens with:
Presto, read the Communist Manifesto.
Guerillas in the mist, a Guevara named Ernesto, so
(What a brother with a afro know?)
Yo, go and flow for the mack and be the hoe.
So grow cause the lynchin' brothers might get hung,
better rip through em from the tip of my Mao Tse-tung.
tbh i'm always afraid of scratching the surface of anyone in hollywood that seems based at first because i'm always disappointed
but every time i accidentally learn something about Boots Riley i'm always so impressed
Boots is the
of hip hop - an open communist public figure standing out in the rain railing against the end of history, all while somehow having only good takes.
Honestly he's even better than Parenti, who said some (minor) questionable things that didn't age great.
Woah he's like super based
I think he'd fit in here
He's a poster alright
