Mysonne has been using his voice to speak out on the issues that face Black America, but he's still peppering his fight for reform with his superior rap skills. From his conscious verse at this year's BET to Hip Hop Awards to now dropping a response to Joyner Lucas's "I'm Not Racist."
Lucas is a Massachusettes rapper whose hard-hitting, storytelling and lyricism on social topics cause his songs to go viral. His latest offering "I'm Not Racist" is driving a raw conversation about race relations in America. The song features the opinions of a White and Black man that is laced with stereotypes and misconceptions about race, that show just how differently the two see and are affected by race in this country.
In the video, the two men sit across from each other and the white man who dons a "Make America Great Again" hat and spews out racist tropes on his Black people are lazy, his entitlement to the N-word, issues with Black Lives Matter and frustrations with NFL protests. Within the second verse, the Black man responds, taking racial microaggressions, white privilege, and cultural appropriation. The video garnered millions of views forcing an open dialogue on race and Mysonne joined the conversation.
After watching the video, Mysonne saluted Joyner Lucas for his "dope" concept but he also offered up some critique for how the Black man responds with his verse. "Shouts to @joynerlucas ..This video and song is Dope...BUT.. I feel like his argument for the Black boy should've. and definitely could've been stronger... So if I can get the instrumental to this ..I would like to give my point of view," Mysonne wrote on Instagram.
The Bronx rapper did just that penning a response to the Black voice in his remix to the track, where he wears a 'F**kkk Racism' hat and presenting a much more brutal truth.
