LL Cool J Co-Signs Passport Rav's "Malcolm on Twitter" | My Acting Debut
“Malcolm on Twitter” by hip-hop rapper, producer and songwriter Passport Rav, plays with the juxtaposition of the civil rights era contrasted with hotep-hating modern day millennialism. It compares radical picket fence signs with lackadaisical social media statuses and poses a simple yet layered question: what if Malcolm X was on Twitter? Would you take him seriously? Or would he be just another black conscious man vying for attention? Would Black Twitter support or hate?
It’s a song set to probe, pressure and question society’s trolling and outrage culture, taking hip-hop seriously, using it responsibly and still allowing it to be dope enough to vibe to.
My favorite part: I made a special appearance in the music video!
The track garnered a large response, with a special nod from LL Cool J, who granted the song a spot in rotation on Sirius XM radio, and tweeted the video out to his 5 million followers.
