As Black Men, We Should All Be Relieved Chief Keef's Career Is Dead

[Uncle Kingpin]

Hold up breh I'm no fan of any of these trap/drill rappers at all, but there is no correlation between music or any art for that matter and people's behavior. They are products of their environment, Chicago has thousands of Cheif Keefs, Brooklyn got thousands of Bobby Shmurdas. If it wasnt them, it would have been someone else. I dont want to see any African lose their income or go to jail even if I dont like them or what they stand for.

Before and after Chief Keef & Bobby Shmruda the same shyt has been going on in the hood. Music doesn't have shyt to do with it. Rap could die tomorrow and the same shyt would still be going on.

This.

If we're gonna start blaming the music, we might as well call Tipper Gore and C. Delores Tucker back in. The music isn't the root of our issues. The problems in the hood have been there since the damn 50's. Hip Hop is a ridiculously easy scapegoat, but the music isn't as powerful as the sheer ignorance that's lived in the hood for decades. Truth be told, cats in the hood are just in a fukked up place. Have been for ages, and until we stop looking for excuses as to why that's the case and start looking at ourselves, nothing will change. The first step is, stop blaming other people for your current situation. No one's keeping us in place, no one's ever had to. We do a mad good job of that on our own.

The music influences the shyt though. Y'all can't be one sided on this topic. Kids are very impressionable and naive. Chief Keef and Bobby Shmurda are some fukkin kids man... KIDS! With no responsible parenting in the household where do they learn the things they learn? On the street, in music, in movies, etc. It's deeper than "man the streets always been fukked up." The streets gonna always be fukked up as long as these cacs keep trying to turn dudes like Keef and Shmurda into millionaires and rapping about killing each other which influences the next kid to do the same and keep up with the image.

We should also be that Bobby SchMURDA is a 1-hit wonder. Now we need the ending to Young Thug's career to happen soon. If u dont know why then u are really blind to what the powers that be are doing to the black community thru destructive poisonous rap. And no, im not saying they are the CAUSE of our problems so dont come in here with that. As a black man you should celebrate the downfall of every puppet rapper being used to numb the black youth's minds

i support this motherfukkin thread dap pos rep

I don't care either way, I don't listen to his music. I just hate how the kids imitate him and those Chicago dudes like crazy, they get dreads like them and use their slang around here.

Just think if "positive" or "building" music was a major genre. I could see it happening coinciding with financial revolution in terms of addressing the gap between rich or poor, basically if we had life hack music. I would love to hear that. But everytime somebody new supposedly hot come out its like I start the stopwatch to see how long it takes for the first drug reference.

Bobby Shmurda and Chief Keef aren't destroying the black community..... and nothing they've said on record, or done... is much different than people in the hood have been doing for the last 50-60 years.

The powers that be closed all the hospitals with trauma centers on the Southside of Chicago, segregated the city, caused unemployment rates as high as 40%,created the vacuums in gang leadership, and closed public schools..... not Chief Keef.


The "powers that be" have done far fukking worse to the black community before rap ever existed.....you think they really need the Chief Keefs and Bobby Shmurdas for anything?

in a nutshell, this is what hip hop has been since the 80's.

What exactly does street dudes using their talents, and life experiences to make legal money and take themselves,children,families and friends out of the hood, and give them lifestyles they'd never ever live without such called?

 

[ManBearPig]

(1) Whites ain't worried about all those inbred meth heads in their communities...

(2) You have an inferiority complex...

(3) Chief Keef is a talented rapper...He raps about what he knows...It is not his fault he was born into a desperate situation...Chief Keef is an icon of success for all those little Chiraq savages...

(4) Most of them don't have what it takes to be doctors, lawyers, scientists and etc...Their environment is not conducive to academic development...

sosa aint that talented
SD > chief keef

Do we agree that music is influential upon the listener?

 

[Drip Bayless]

Get this bum ass nikka all the way the fukk out of here wit that bullshyt
Becomes a sad day when nikkas would rather see another black man selling dope and shooting nikkas, then getting some money off ignorant/shytty music. Some hypocritical bytches frfr. If you don't like the music thats fine but to act like chief keef is a bigger danger to the community playing with super soakers in his house then killing people is utter retardation

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

Let's be real about this tho....the Chief Keef's and Bobby Shmurda's have less effect on black youth... than failing school systems, neighborhoods with little legal economic opportunity, health care systems that are designed to make people who can't afford it, be shunned by it...a legal system that preys upon blacks etc.

The Black Church has probably done far more harm, than any gangsta rapper..... but we're not gonna talk about that

I can name more than 5 mainstream rappers off the top of my head who make positive music
