FD Signifier explains that the point of his video is to cut down on celebrity worship, especially among Black people. He points to Black celebrities people love without paying attention to their politics. According to him , It hurts to see where Jasmine Crockett is right now. It hurts to see Jay-Z's views on capitalism. And it hurts to see what Kanye West has become. His argument is that you can criticize them and still love their art. Killer Mike, who dissed him in a freestyle, is his example. He said , people are shocked to learn Mike is still one of his favorite rappers, and part of why he made the video was to reconnect with the music he loved so much. He even admits he almost feels bad. In the last few months Mike has been doing interviews with prominent Democrats, which FD jokes is his "my bad" moment for Stacey Abrams. He does credits that shift to people kicking Mike's back, and he gives Mike props for being willing to change. According to him , Mike putting himself in a position to be criticized shows he isn't too far gone. Many of the Black leaders in that "misleadership" role refuse to be held accountable at all. He respects Mike for that, and hopes the guy who once said "I'm going to burn this motherf***er down" is still in there.
