Their debate has been recapped nicely for us thanks to Pitchfork Media. It starts out with Lupe stating that he backs Hilary because of what he believes to be Obama's plans to "bomb Iran" and Rhymefest sets the record straight from there.
It then goes on to discuss the merits and value for progress in America that having either a female or black male president would have.
From there we see that Lupe isn't just another "angry minority" when he states his lack of belief in the American political and electoral process.
Their debate also gives those who may not be in the know a nice insight into the actual living that went behind the rhymes that come blastin' out of our iPods.
Regardless of who wins and what the outcome of their victory may mean for American history, its nice to dispel the myth that Hip Hop artists only talk about the number of ringtones they've sold and their collection of Louis Vuitton.
So, who made the better argument? What can be taken from their debate? Can either candidate's nomination or possibly impending presidency really change anything? DISCUSS.
Lupe Fiasco's The Cool is out now.
So true. MTV has been garbage for quite awhile now but it was only the past couple of years that I realized just how bad BET was everybody involved.
