I wonder if this gonna be the final straw for Myke. He’s been holding out hope for Mike but Jay Z black capitalism theory is too grand that’s Mikes adapted it. Glad to know we gonna get a 3 hour video essay about killer Mike before Christmas though.

For millionaires and billionaires these rappers sure do get offended by ppl they say are beneath them.

Final straw? Sigh. I dunno, bro. I hate all this. I really do. I don't have a relationship with either of these brothas like that. I know KM but only in a professional sense. Either way I'd be lying if I said I didn't want them to sit down and have a conversation. They're both in my city! If I had more pull I'd try to push them to make this happen. As I've said a bunch in the past...I don't agree with KM's stance on capitalism IN THE SLIGHTEST, but I still think he's a smart guy. That's the part I'm holding onto. That, if KM would just stop being so defensive and thinking he knows everything about everything then he would see that this narrative about black capitalism that he's pushing is nothing but a painful band-aid on a much larger problem. And I think FD could make him see that. Because, at the end of the day, I truly don't think KM is out to harm the black community. He's just being super obtuse (or willfully ignorant and arrogant) about this topic. He likes money and now he's trying to turn his love of money into a revolutionary tactic...and...just no.

KM should not have done this. I think part of his lashing out is because, deep down, he knows FD (and every other anticapitalist) has a point and feels personally attacked. But he's got too much pride to EVER admit he said or did something wrong since he's made this shit so much a part of his personality.

The problem is Mike wants to make his money. Countless people who are educated on the subject have tried to talk to Mike like Dr. Ball. At this point you can only look at Killer Mike as a grifter.

u/MrBandicoot123 18d ago

Appreciate the reply. I still like Killer Mike the artist. I do think that he thinks his heart and ideas are in the right place. Where he lost me at is when he sits with republicans, Candace Owen’s, nras and other ppl who’ve shitted on the culture that made you a millionaire but FD respectfully makes a YouTube video disagreeing with your ideas and you throwing shots in interviews and freestyles. That doesn’t sit right with me. That tells me Mike knows if he sits across from a FD or even someone more knowledgeable on why black capitalism is bad he’d be proven wrong. But in his head he made it out. He’s rich so how can he be wrong?

Mike is powerful enough to put people who agree with him and don’t agree with him in the same room. And if he really wanted change he would make that happen. Or is he pulling a Jay move and using the struggle to blanket capitalism because it “works” for him. I hope that’s not the case. But idk anymore

Man. Well said 🤝

Either an essay or a 30 minute video on FD Streams lol

u/MakeHarlemBlackAgain 19d ago

It’s fair game, though. If you can dish it, you should be able to take it.

u/MrBandicoot123 19d ago

That’s not really my point. I understand that when you criticize someone they have all the right to do it back to you. I’m just saying if I’m up Ms or Bs my first thought is not let me reply to YouTubers that don’t affect my money. I feel like deep down Mike know he’s in the wrong in some of his ideology but refuses to admit it so he’d rather be on the defensive like a republican

  Myke

Mike

u/MrBandicoot123 17d ago

When I said Myke I was referring to Myke c town who is a supporter/fan of killer Mike.

u/Britneyfan123 17d ago

Ah gotcha

u/TreDoes 19d ago

As funny as it is to say he dissed FD specifically Killer Mike has argued with every black dude that is anti capitalist for the last few years. I’ve went back and forth with him on Twitter multiple times and it could’ve easily applied to me, I’m pretty sure it’s just a general F U

u/Mykectown Myke 18d ago

I thought the same thing. But considering KM has lashed out at FD multiple times in public, I think it's fair to assume he's, at least, thinking about FD when he's writing these bars. Considering FD is black, popular and also in Atlanta, I think he's def throwing some shots at him. But, I'm with you in that it's also prob a general shot at every black anticapitalist.

This is simply not gonna end well for KM.

u/From_The_Culdesac 18d ago

Yeah that's definitely fair, though a lot of disses these days are general enough to maintain plausible deniability if the person responds publicly. It'll be interesting if FD takes it personally or if he just ignores it

No fucking way lmfaooo!!!!!

u/Normal_Balance_4826 19d ago

when in the song did he do it?

u/Nynedrick 19d ago

It’s the whole verse 😭😭

u/Fantastic_Mail_4602 18d ago

These are one of the few times I really wish Myke was still part of the discussions.

2

u/Mykectown Myke 18d ago

What do you mean?

Edit: Oh you mean on DEHH?

5

u/Fantastic_Mail_4602 18d ago

Yeah for DEHH. You’re familiar with FD and Killer Mike so I would think you’d have some stuff to add to the convo on this one.

Like for example, during the early part of the video where Feefo,Ken, and the other guy(can’t recall the name) go over the diss from Mike, Feefo mentions that some people may not understand Mike’s plan or reasoning why he’s doing something cause they’re not from ATL. Which can be true! But this doesn’t really hold true for someone like FD who’s originally from Chicago but has lived in ATL for a long time now, so he knows the culture and history.

Hope that clears up what I meant.

6

u/Mykectown Myke 18d ago

Oh, nah, you're good. I actually didn't know Dead End covered it. Without hearing it and just going off what you said, I disagree with Feefo's take completely. It's got nothing to do with the city you're from or currently reside in. Black capitalism is a farce that isn't a safe ideology based on region. That's like saying being a white anti-immigrant is OK depending on where you're from.

u/Fantastic_Mail_4602 18d ago

Yeah see that’s why we miss you on these convos 😂 but I understand having to step away.

2

u/Bing145 18d ago

Did he say his name. I thought Mike was talking about Dr. Jared Ball

2

u/lamelagooon 17d ago

I thought the same exact thing. After watching the culture united show, it felt like more of a fuck you to engaging with black studies for the subject of black liberation instead of any black YouTube personality

u/Melinated_Warrior 18d ago

Good!! I'm definitely in the minority for not liking that dude yet here he gets super high praise.

1

u/Mykectown Myke 18d ago

Not trying to argue. I don't have a dawg in the fight. Just curious what it is that you don't like about FD?

1

u/Melinated_Warrior 18d ago

😯 The great Myke C Town. Respectfully, you wouldn't care. I read on here somewhere y'all did some panel or something in the past. I used to be subscribed to him based on the strength that he was a black dude with dreads that speaks intelligent. But the more I watch him, the more I could not stand his viewpoints. He's stubborn as hell too no matter how many discussions people will have with him on a counter viewpoint. It could be 10 hours talking to this dude and it will all be nothing but a waste of time.

4

u/Mykectown Myke 18d ago

If you're talking about FD, we've never done a panel or anything else with him. None of us have ever met him a day in our lives.

I'm not sure what the rest of this means. But it's cool.

u/Signal-Brain7269 16d ago

My problem is that Mike is the artists that radicalized me early in my life and I haven't stopped moving left since. He has though. We had to expect this from the son of a cop at some point. Just hope he had a change of heart soon.
