I know there has been some disappointment that they didn't go as hard in protest as they could have, but as a white man coming into my own understanding of privilege and platforming the voice of others, I wonder if it was intentional so that Bad Bunny's message would be heard louder. What are your thoughts?
Run the Jewels is amazing protest music for something recent, Rage Against the Machine is like, THE name in protest music, and they came out in the 90s. And they're still out here.
I dunno, that certainly could be the case. But it also could be that they didn't want to push their luck with ice being there. But it's something I'm sure an interviewer would ask.
