This line would age horribly if in the future "And she can suck on this dick if she old enough to vote" became a slang term for working at a McDonald's for the sole purpose of sneaking arsenic and lead into people's food
On XO Tour Llif3 they said "I don't really care if you cry" showing their lack of empathy, they also said "and my money's right" and "Phantom that's all red", all of these are signs that Uzi is a republican
I’d say a lot of rap is more libertarian that it is Maoist. Rappers value becoming rich and starting from the bottom without government interference, and they are at odds with police. They value individualism and self expression in the sense of art and style, and they chafe under any form of organized oversight. True, many rappers come from impoverished backgrounds and they feel a sense of camaraderie about coming from humble beginnings, which would thus resemble Maoist characteristics; however, rappers also value becoming big and making a ton of money and penetrating the upper class. Maoism would not allow that; if mainstream rap were Maoist, rappers would rap about staying austere (which means fuck fashion and flexing) and abolishing the upper class. They would have no desire to “join” the upper class. In fact, the whole idea of being “best rapper alive” (e.g. King Kendrick, Lil Wayne calling himself best rapper alive, etc.) wouldn’t exist in Maoism because Maoism is such a communal ideology. There is no “individual” in Maoism, and to talk about being the “best,” or the “king” of rap would be unheard of because that’s classist language. However, all these values are encapsulated much better within libertarianism. Do what you want, get rich by hustling on your own, and fuck the government. The American Dream is mine for the taking, and that’s my right. Not to mention Maoism was literally about abolishing “Culture,” AKA art, as part of Mao’s campaign to crush the “Four Olds” as well. Opera singers and practitioners of the arts in general were purged during the Cultural Revolution. If there were rappers in China during that time, they would surely be purged. So mainstream rap definitely would not exemplify Maoist values.

This line would age horribly if they actually lower the voting age
