Was expecting something like this once that 88rising channel started blowing up. Them Higher Brothers dudes were starting to get crazy views, and though it was obvious they were trying to placate the Chinese goverment with their content I'm sure everyone else wasn't being so careful.

Just saw the Higher Brothers,when the second guy comes in:laff:



Tasteless,vulgar,and obscene were the exact words that came to my mind too:martin:

I think this is stupid.

But I remember someone posting a video of some british "rappers" who were talking about having guns and dealing drugs and acting like they are running around dodging bullets in chitown. A part of me did think that unfortunately a lot of this has a negative influence on even other black people across the pond. Not naive in thinking drugs dealing and violence doesn't exist there but the imagery was very obviously taken from the most ignorant shyt that is exported from the US.

Not going to excuse c00nery and ignorance but I am on my @PhonZhi shyt a bit as it relates to hiphop. Imagine you're not an American and you've never met a black american person in your life. The only exposure you have to them is hiphop, the ignorant drug abusing and killing other black folks type, and violent portrayals in media and its not just for the sake of argument white people saying this, but you have black folks perpetuating it. What is the average ignorant non-american going to think about black Americans? Can you blame them if they take in that image as representative?

Sadly we don't control the media conglomerates who are spreading this poison and image but we do control how we respond to it and even further, if you choose to participate in it.

Exactly!

Mofos dont understand that the imagery without the context makes it look bad. Instead they wanna scream racism without analyzing the shyt in their heads. I was a black immigrant moving to this country when Onyx was big. Speaking little english , i used to hear the music and enjoyed it at first because it sounded cool. It was different.
But then seeing the music videos had me like :picard: :hhh: because all you SEE is a bunch of gun-toting cats wreaking havoc screaming atop of their lungs. If you dont speak the language nor understand the context that's in no way a good look. But eventually i got it and became one of the biggest Onyx fans out there. :ehh:

You were ignorant and thought you were better than African Americans.

When i go to other countries i see shyt i don't understand all the time. I don't twist my face up and make judgements.

I step out of comfort zone and LEARN!
