songs about campaign finance reform and gerrymandering? yeah over an 808 with a hook by erykah badu
I don't know man, I just don't feel any political groundswell from today's artists. I don't know how you write a song that speaks to people about how most of our intractable problems stem from a government in a special-interest stranglehold that holds the constituency in contempt to make a profit for a very small % of Americans. I think Lamar's feelings about racism in his neighborhood are potent and relevant, but I don't hear the music inspiring large swaths of people across ethnic and socioeconomic lines. The injustices he raps about are known and clear and talked about. Is his reminder of them breaking any new ground or inspiring solutions?
Especially when the solution is largely, if not completely, economic.
