Legendary Rapper's Ominous Prediction is Already Coming True

Yasiin Bey, formerly known as Mos Def, slyly dissed Drake's music and target audience on The Cutting Room Floor Podcast before explaining how the US empire's actions have plunged the world into more darkness and despair. Rick Strom breaks it down. Give us your thoughts in the comments below!

[@shadowsaiyan]

Mos/Yasiin's message hasn't changed in 25 years and people still aren't listening. This is why Andre isn't rapping much anymore. Both of them know the people are collectively too brainwashed to hear the message, let alone do something about it.

[@brianbadonde9251]

Unfortunately people would rather stick to the mainstream and are scared to look corny or cringe. People don't take chances by speaking for social change, they rather get a paychecks and go home and watch tiktok and do it all over again

[@wardenwilson6725]

People are too "brainwashed"? Possibly, people's tastes, both musically and philosophically, have changed. Matured. And if Mos' message hasn't changed in 25 years? Maybe it's time Mos get a new message.
