I did too, but that doesn't mean if a song has curse words and lyrics about drugs in it that it's negative rap. It depends on the context. If it's a storytelling song about the struggle living in the hood, I don't see it as negative rap it's just reality.

I stopped listening to that chicago drill music a long time ago tho.
And Jays materialistic demonic bullshyt I never listened to anyway :yeshrug:

keep making excuses playing the deflect game.....it aint never gonna change nothing....be under the foot of cacs for the rest of ur life if u want....
I think you are the one who is playing the "deflect game" and who is under the "foot of cacs"...

Hip Hop is NOT any more "negative" than any other genre...The overall message in Hip Hop is positive and empowering...I am a huge fan of Heavy Metal and it is relatively more "negative" than Hip Hop is you ask me...

What are the main themes in hip hop...?

(1) Being proud of where you are from....During the Soccer World Cup, you should see one many different flags were flying around in Canada...Now you want to tell me because some kid from Chicago is proud of his neighbourhood, I should feel threatened and appalled by that...?

(2) Financial empowerment and independence...This is what most people work for in life...People want to have money so they can afford whatever pleasure floats their boat....This Segways into the other big theme of...

(3) "Just having fun out there"....Human males have been enjoying drinking wine (and other intoxicating substances) and frolicking with whores since the beginning of written history...The Bible has rules about how to behave with and treat whores...That's how long humans have been chasing whores...

Now just because a Chicago kid calls a whore a Thot, it some how suppose to negate years of human social history....?

(4) When you start making money and becoming successful, you also make a few enemies, and destroying enemies is something that humans have been doing and praying for since recorded history...

The Bible has chapters about people praying to God, and asking God to destroy their enemies....Bush Jr invaded Iraq because Saddam made an attempt at his father...Afghanistan was invaded because Bin Laden ALLEGEDLY took down the Towers and was hiding in Afghanistan...

Just because a Chiraq kid raps about taking down an OPP, we are somehow suppose to be offended and ignore millenniums of human social history...?

Hip Hop just talks about what many of us do on a daily basis...The only difference is the context of Hip Hop is mainly the ghetto...However, the predominant themes in hip hop are UNIVERSAL....

We all want to be (1) proud of our heritage (2) make lots of money (3) have fun out there and (4) see people who oppose us "destroyed"...

What is so negative about that...?

Negative hip-hop is making kids put in work:heh:
Same mindset of the 40 year old suburban cac mothers who think playing grand theft auto makes you wanna murk people.
Street nikkas been doing street nikka shyt before rap and they'll be doing it if nikkas start blasting EDM in the hood. Problem is poverty not rap

It's a real agenda behind negative raps in hip hop...murder, drugs, and blowing ya money on stupid shyt are some of the main reasons blacks are in a bad position in this country. How ironic is it that those very same things are being promoted as being "cool" by rappers that have a ton of influence over our people. This shyt is so obvious now that i'm high.

With all that being said though, I still listen to lox and grimey hip hop thats how I grew up...but my son ain't listening to none of this bullshyt until he proves that he's reasonable enough to realize that the shyt is just entertainment.

We getting played and nikkaz don't see it.

Honestly, this happened with me too, but it wasn't no conscious thing that I announced to others, it just kind of happened. I stopped feeling a lot of the shyt that's being put out there and the messages don't resonate with me. I think that's just a part of growing up.

fukk outta here:camby:. You think death medal is toxic to white people? Why are brothers like you always looking to blame someone or something because your life is fukked? Rap isn't doing shyt but making young black folks money and bumping trunks. Everything going on in the hood now is the same shyt going on in the hood pre hiphop.
What kind of music you think those Columbine shooters listened to? :stopitslime:


Or that ones shooting up elementary schools and shyt?

To sit and say music doesn't have a significant influence on the youth and our culture is plain delusional

I've almost made the transition. I still bump some ignorant shyt once and a while, but for the most part I've let that kind of music go. Being 33 is part of it. Having a daughter and a son is part of it. Just getting more perspective...getting older you realize how important positivity and hope really are. You also realize how much of a grip this bullshyt music has on our youth. OP coming with a grown man thread though...I applaud that.
