The hit song, called “Fake Woke”, reached Number One across all genres on Saturday despite MacDonald not having a record label, manager, or distribution network.

I saw this too...almost posted, thanks for doing so.
This is one of those “I hate rap” but the lyrics are on point and are being heard. It’s funny how other ‘artists’ like Eminem used to be considered anti-establishment but are now the cornerstone of the establishment...but the undercurrent of the desire to speak out against the ‘allowed narrative’ never goes away.
There’s a market there to be cashed in on. Surprising that its taken so long.
Exactly. Like Andy Ngo’s book on Antifa going #1 for all books on Amazon when it was targeted for banning. Or “Gone With The Wind” becoming the top stream on Amazon when HBO Max(woke) put that insulting disclaimer.
Bump for later
Compelling lyrics - can’t believe he’s not been banned
My guess is that this and he will be... very soon. But they are going to have to cancel him in other ways as well. Awful music but maybe young people have been so desensitized that is what it takes to get across ideas to them these days.
Music industry is ripe for this. Artists can reach their audience without all the expensive costs and overhead of a record label, promoters, managers, agents, distributors and record stores taking slices of the pie. Unfortunately, they make very little money per song played on the streaming services, but if it is played a lot those pennies add up. The real money has almost always been from live performances, with a few exceptions. But if you can draw an audience using inexpensive social media promotion, you will find plenty of venues that will want you to perform - that is, when the government will permit it.
Why would they ban him? Surely not because of Tipper Gore’s “offensive content warning” sticker lol. Oh, right, the political implications... ;-) Then again, at least since Elvis, and then definitely since the 1960’s, political messaging in music has been ubiquitous.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I think it’s crazy I’m the one who they labeled as controversial
And Cardi B is the role model for 12-year-old girls
There’s rappers pushing Xanax at the top of the Billboard
But if I mention race in a song, I’m scared I’ll get killed for it
It’s backwards, it’s getting exponentially dumb
It’s more difficult to get a job than purchase a gun
Eminem used to gay bash and murder his mum
And now he doesn’t want fans if they voted for Trump
We’re ashamed to be American, you should probably love it
‘Cause you have the right to say it and not gеt strung up in public
As children, we werе taught how to walk and talk
But the system wants adults to sit down and shut up
Cancel culture runs the world, now the planet went crazy
Label everything we say as homophobic or racist
If you’re white, then you’re privileged, guilty by association
All our childhood heroes got Me-Too’d or they’re rapists
[Pre-Chorus 1]
They never freed the slaves, they realized that they don’t need the chains
They gave us tiny screens, we think we’re free ‘cause we can’t see the cage
They knew the race war would be the game they need to play
For people to pick teams, they use the media to feed the flame
[Chorus]
They so fake woke, facts don’t care ‘bout feelings
They know they won’t tell me what to believe in
They so fake woke, same old safe zones
They so fake woke, facts don’t care ‘bout your feelings
[Verse 2]
I think it’s crazy all these people screaming facts, but they fake woke
Hate their neighbor ‘cause he wears a mask or he stays home
Has a daughter, but his favorite artist said he slays hoes
Picks her up from school, music slaps on the way home
Censorship’s an issue ‘cause they choose what they erase
There’s a difference between hate speech and speech that you hate
I think Black Lives Matter was the stupidest name
When the system’s screwing everyone exactly the same
I just wanna spend Thanksgiving Day with food and my family
Without being accused of celebrating native casualties
We got so divided, it’s black and white and political
Republicans are bigots, libtards if you’re liberal
There’s riots in our streets, and it’s just getting worse
Y’all screaming, “Defund the police”, y’all are genius for sure
They’re underfunded already, they’re way too busy to work
Order food and call the cops, see what reaches you first
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Segregation ended, that’s a lie in itself
That was a strategy to make us think they were tryin’ to help
They knew that racism was hot if they designed it to sell
We buy up every single box and divide us ourselves
[Chorus]
They so fake woke, facts don’t care ‘bout feelings
They know they won’t tell me what to believe in
They so fake woke, same old safe zones
They so fake woke, facts don’t care ‘bout your feelings
[Verse 3]
Use violence to get peace and wonder why it isn’t working
That’s like sleepin’ with a football team to try and be a virgin
Politicians are for sale, and someone always makes the purchase
But you and I cannot afford it, our democracy is worthless
If a man has mental illness, call him crazy, say it silently
When country’s going crazy, we accept it as society
Get sick and take a pill when the side effects get you high
You get addicted like these rappers dyin’ fighting with sobriety
Censoring the facts turns our children into idiots
They claim it’s for our safety, I’ll tell you what it really is
Removing information that empowers all the citizens
The truth doesn’t damage points of view that are legitimate
They’re tryna change amen to a-men and women
How’d we let ‘em make praying a microaggression?
Instead of asking God for the strength to keep winnin’
We cheat to get ahead, and then we ask Him for forgiveness
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Feminism used to be the most righteous of fights
But these days it feels like they secretly hate guys
I don’t trust anyone who bleeds for a week and don’t die
I’m just kiddin’, but everything else that I said is right
[Chorus]
They so fake woke, facts don’t care ‘bout feelings
They know they won’t tell me what to believe in
They so fake woke, same old safe zones
They so fake woke, facts don’t care ‘bout your feelings
No love for Topher? He’s got #1 in Billboard’s Rap Streaming Chart IN SPITE of his song, “The Patriot,” being removed from all music platforms.
An example of the open market at work.
been a big fan of this guy for about two months now,
has many other good tunes if you like his style ..
Number one where?
I noticed that this guy is in the style of Eminem. He and his girl did an excellent job.
Slightly anti-gun, but overall pretty good lyrics.
