Vic wants to see some action from JT.
Justin Timberlake was hit with major flack after folks misconstrued his intentions when he sent support to the black community after Jesse Williams? powerful speech at the 2016 BET Awards. Unfortunately for the pop titan, that criticism is still coming in strong from hip-hop heavy hitters, including Vic Mensa. During a recent Larry Willmore-hosted round table discussion, the Chi-town rapper sounded off on why Black Twitter came for dat ass. ?Our problem here is that Justin Timberlake himself?you know?is definitely benefiting from using black culture for his sound, his dance moves, his dancers, and blowing up off of it,? he explained. ?But if you roll down Justin Timberlake?s Twitter for the past two years, which I just did, you see nothing that supports black people when it?s more difficult, when there?s a struggle.?
In Justin?s defense, there really hasn?t been that much non-sponsored BS/promotional content on the singer?s timeline over the last couple, but the rapper makes a point. There?s a whole lot more advocacy that can be done outside of the social media realm, especially considering his power and close affiliation with the community.
?That?s a dangerous subject for him to touch,? Vic said. ?We?re not feeling him being down when it?s beneficial to him, and turning a blind eye when it could be dangerous. . . .Sit down until you show us you care. Don?t tell us shit unless you show us you care.?
And let?s face it: Janet Jackson knows a lot about that blind eye.

What you guys think? I kinda see what he means

[Rxxf]

I kind of understand where he's trying to go.
But a lot of artist don't support when times are hard, black or white - which doesn't make it right.
So yeah, he's right.

[Nine]

yeah, can't stand that cracker so I agree

[GLOCK]

He's right

[Freemala Harris]

Accurate

[Rxxf]

It seems difficult to try to support tho...
Cause you're liable to get attacked when you support and liable to get attacked if you don't.
Kind of leaves you afraid to even genuinely be apart of the change.
One group of people can't be the only ones fighting for change, we all have to come together.

[KING BENTLEY.]

Nah

sssssssss

"Oh just scrolled thru his account"


Nigger you're a rapper. Go scroll thru any of your peers accounts besides J Cole and Kendrick and I'm sure they haven't said shit publically either

No Justin doesnt deserve this..

I like Justin's music, but I agree.
If Justin would've gone the pop route, he wouldn't have had a successful solo career.
