Oh, I totally disagree. It's not just about "police corruption, violence and racism," it's about how a white rapper navigates his place within hip hop given that context. In that sense he's wholly in his element.

    he should leave that to the local artists for who its a real daily problem, feature them and collaborate with them if he really gives a shit.

FWIW, this song was "the outcome of an ongoing dialogue with musicians, activists, and teachers within our community in Seattle and beyond," and features Jamila Woods, a black woman from Chicago.

As to whether it's a "good song," I disagree, but I can't change your mind.
