A social commentary on the divide between black voters based on gender roles and specific interest-based on party lines.
Do Black men hate black women? This has come up on several platforms on social media and the mainstream media. That statement is silly, lazy, and lack cognitive reasoning. This messaging is being delivered by some black women in media as fact.
What’s the “why” coming from a black man perceptive; simply what’s in it for the US and our community(black woman included). Black leaders have asked black men to step up. Unfortunately, the measure did not inline with Liberal ideology completely.
Black men want to play let’s make a deal for our vote. Seems logical and reasonable.
Oh you mean the Black men is not monolithic thinker. Meet the new silent majority.

Rap or Go to the League.
2 Chainz provides a tale of a hustler trapped in a drug dealers state of mind.
No matter what area or hood you come from, the anxiety in the everyday struggle intersects the urban corniche.
Whether an athlete, artist or college minded person, we all have the same potholes and temptations to avoid.
Streets always seem to be calling parallels everyone’s end game for leaving the hood. Will you answer that call is the only question.
Whether your Ricky, Doe Boy, Tre or Brandi in “Boyz in the Hood”. The potholes are prevalent for black youth in urban environment. Some bigger than others, but the path is the same.
As Tupac famously wrote “I see death around the corner”. 2 Chainz narrates his anxieties and misfortunes in the street as a Atlanta area drug dealer; trying to legitimize and leave the street game. But not necessarily the game of hustling.
We examine 2 Chainz bars through his lens. Comparing and contrasting the everyday personal struggles against 2 Chainz story.
The path potentially can be different, but the obstacles are merely the same despite some differences.
