Ice Cube EXPOSES the Prison Industrial Complex - Bill Maher

Who benefits and profits off our bickering and our division?

He asserts the entertainment industry and prison industrial complex are working in cahoots to funnel brown skin youth into the jail system through rap music.

“It’s not about making somebody write the lyrics,” he said. “It’s about being near as guardrails to make sure certain songs make it through and certain songs don’t. Certain flavors are exposed on the record. Some records are made by committee. Meaning record company guys sit around and tell the artists ‘This is hot, say that. Do this, we gonna have this guy write lyrics.’”

He continued, “So the narrative is really kind of structured and really made into what the record company wants the record to be.”

Ice Cube then surmised that not only are a lot of artists frustrated by this, but that it’s also a form of social engineering.
