I was referring to this statement that you made when I gave you examples of artists speaking out about Ferguson.

I will exclude Rihanna because she did tweet during the actual Protests.. but Jay, Beyawnce and all them other folk SMH

Reading comprehension is a wonderful thing. I wouldn't exacly call Killer Mike an unknown artist just because you don't know about him. I didn't know about Bieber until about two years into his career (yes, it was comfy under my rock), that doesn't make him unknown just because I didn't know about him.
