This is a recurrent theme for me, and yet another reason why the world needs rappers (Oh yeah, don't get me started on censorship). However, every now and then it's nice to be reminded that it's not all about posturing and contrarianism, manifested in the form of resentment and anger that rappers can't explicitly talk about their dick or firearm.
This is the real frontline of the fight against censorship.
"Fakoly has been threatened, banned and exiled from his home country of Ivory Coast, and in December of last year he was declared "persona non grata" in Senegal after criticising Senegal's president and calling for democracy. He now lives in exile in Mali. Korpe views Fakoly's unstintingly stark expression of views as essential to the health of musical expression worldwide."
Word. Although sometimes, you just wanna hear rappers talking about their dick or firearm. And no one should be able to rob you of that right.
