Admittedly, this headline only references maybe 72 seconds of this nuanced 90-minute conversation dancing in all the world’s ills.
Whether Lupe Fiasco and I are delving into James Baldwin’s relationship with the Nation Of Islam, or forcing companies to make Election Day a corporate holiday, or people’s tendency to lie on surveys, or the challenges of actually succeeding from the union, or BlueFlu, or the movie Black Panther—which are all covered herein—the connective tissue is that aspiration without cross boundary collaboration is futile. It’s better for Wakanda to team up with The Avengers than have to worry about the Hulk over there shoulder, for example.
And in that regard, just like Lupe Fiasco delivers on “Valleys,” Bernie Sanders really does need a Nike deal. He—or whoever is next to carry the Progressive flag—will have to collaborate with corporate America (in some fashion) in order to avoid getting backdoor’d every Super Tuesday. “It worked for Colin Kaepernick” Lu says in this conversation (recorded on Instagram Live). He’s got a point.
So this video title is a reminder that you may be surprised who’s riding shotgun in your Lyft on the way to salvation. Friend or foe, you have to be willing to work with others.
Oh, and Lupe says he’s in album mode. It’s all happening.
