Its A Damn Shame That Black People Have To Now PROTECT Ourselves From the Musical Artform WE Created

[Mastamimd]

Most people just don't care. Gotta just look at it as entertainment...I hate to say it but being super mad intellectual about music these days especially popular music in any form will make your head hurt.

 

[Vert1]

The only way to protect yourself is to listen to instrumentals.

This dude thread making abilities straight on "rinse wash and repeat" and the first 5 people in this thread this dumbass dude dikk

 

[Mandarin Duck]

You've done absolutely nothing to protect the art form tho.

This is my problem with all these 90's old school ass nikkas complaining about the current state of Hip-Hop.

 

[The Burger King]

These rappers pushing narcotics, paying for p*ssy, demonizing the poor, fetishizing white women, glorifying strippers, romanticizing addiction, etc...and thas just on one track.

I never thought about it like this, but it's so true.

Been saying this IRL, but people are quick to try and shut down the argument by calling me a "hater" and "paranoid."

It's NO coincidence that the majority of new rappers out there getting deals are pushing braindead nonsense. There are exceptions, but they're just that. It's becoming the newest incarnation of the minstrel show...but what do I know?

If you study the past, you'll realize that its no coincidence AT ALL my brother.

 

[PhonZhi]

I will be honest, you are right. I was watching some hip hop videos, I enjoyed the brat music but its obvious every brotha in that video was lost but on the other I grew up on it, went to inner city schools and turned out fine. To me its a good beat n music but I could see a lot of young black men feeling the pressure to fit that image.
Hip hop influences fashion( since when do nikkas dye their hair, that would have got you clowned) so it can influence behavior.

Right, its not about me and you. I'm sure MOST of us can listen yo this all day and not be affected by it, BUT there are many highly impressionable minds out there who are. And THOSE are the ones that this music is being intentionally aimed at

 

[CouldntBeMeTho]

Garbage in garbage out. It amazes me how ignorant we are of our influences. The tv and music we consume is literally programming us

 

[PhonZhi]

So this nikka just selecting his quotes at random and turning them into threads now


"Rap music is destroying the ozone layer, thereby hastening the effects of global warming which only affect black people" - PhonZhi

Lol

 

[PhonZhi]

Shut your old hypocritical bytch ass up @PhonZhi

You aren't black and couldn't care less about black people, your commentary isn't needed in here

 

[Matt504]

I'm sure MOST of us can listen yo this all day and not be affected by it,

I disagree.

 

[MikelArteta]

Violence, black on black crime, sexualization, promoting ignorance, Rap is a joke.


Its funny people I'll always say workout music, this music calms me, when I'm sad I listen to music, but Rap music has no effect

The only male voice in majority of these homes is coming from the speaker

Have you supported any "positive" Hip Hop lately?
