Young Thug was recently asked to comment on the controversy in Ferguson Missouri concerning Darren Wilson’s verdict. Predictably, Young Thug didn’t have much to say on the issue and played it safe. But why does the media typically target rappers who don’t promote conscious thinking for concerns such as Ferguson? There’s a ton of rappers who would have had legit things to say on the issue, yet Young Thug is the one sought for a response. On this episode we discuss our thoughts on this and more.
