Rhymefest ducks the gang issue
Let's say there was an article on the Internets suggesting that I belong to a gang (other than The Mindset Army), and that I was possibly being extorted, and that I might even be connected to the terrorists, if not the down-low community. (Nullus.)
If someone asked me if this was true, it would be nothing for me to say that, no, it isn't. But that's how I roll. Rhymefest, apparently? Not so much.
The other day, AB from Fake Shore Drive did an interview with the rapper. When asked about the email I received suggesting he's in a gang, here's what Rhymefest had to say.
In the wake of the debates, blogger Byron Crawford received a pretty ridiculous email, you’re familiar with him, right?
Yep.
Well Byron received an email from a Chicago reader, who was a bit misinformed, this reader claimed the debate was tied to gang activity in Chicago. He went on to name names and the various gangs these rappers represented. What’s your take on this?
I can’t even respond to that, it sounds too ignorant. Come on, man. Next question.
Too ignorant? All he had to say was, "No, I don't belong to a gang; Chicago rappers aren't being extorted like it's going out of style; and yes, Kanye West is on the DL." (Because that part's probably true.)
Obviously the guy's got something to hide.
Also, he's obviously got a lot to learn about politics.
Earlier in the interview, he explains how he had to go in on Lupe, because Lupe was misinformed with regard to Obama's policy re: Iran (probably where Lupe gets his heroin), and how he's bringing back the Drop Squad to help educate misinformed rappers.
Then later in the interview, he claims that, if Obama is elected, he's gonna get rid of all of the lobbyists in Washington, and that Obama has never taken any money from lobbyists.
Sounds like he might need to Drop Squad himself.
