I've always felt it goes both ways. In the beginning I think the realities of poor Black communities were reflected in the music. It really was street reporting then, and it still is largely. However, as it's popularity has grown exponentially, so has it's influence which unfortunately includes glamorizing a lot of activities, outlooks, and behaviors that should not be promoted. Art imitating life and vice versa is just what it is.

Still, to be fair, when one looks at what gangsters were doing in the late 70's and early 80's, one can't blame that on Hip Hop. Nobody blamed the Ohio Players for the madness happening in South Central. Or Barry White for what was happening in Chicago.

The way I see it hip hop has always been a mirror of black society and America as a whole. When I listen to the radio or watch tv there is way more vulgarity that is gotten away with than there used to be. Just think that In Living Color was controversial. Using profanity in music period was controversial. America has a huge opioid problem right now so it’s no surprise rappers and talking about getting high more than ever. During the crack era when hip hop was still considered a fad black people were getting high, killing each other, and getting locked up in record numbers. The numbers got even worse in the late 80s and early 90s when there was a huge wave of black positivity in music, tv, and movies

From what I understand, China banned rock when it was popular too. Tasteless, Vulgar, and obscene is pretty much spot on when it comes to most modern mainstream hip hop. Can't say I'm mad at them for doing what they think is best for their culture.

Don't be surprised that communists decided to censor something.

Please tell me what chinese fashion has brought to the table??...we all know they can bootleg their asses off but when it comes to fashion the person that comes to mind is David Chu and his tawainese and started nautica....but he got his inspiration from making sailor coats at Barneys....The Japanese have had way more influence than the chinese...and I respect what they do...

No true at all....that prep style is all them and is still rocked heavily....asian men try and emulate it...

Tattoos are taboo in the majority of Asian countries. Not all though, a lot of people in Singapore have them for example.

the swaggiest and most emulated people on the planet are black people, specifically AAs, but if your point is the fashion houses like LV and Gucci being cac creations, sure.

but they still wouldnt be as big as they are without us. even though we should have our own shyt.

Bruh halter tops were the in fashion for men in the 80's well at least when we moved to LA it was...there is a pic my mom has with me rocking that shyt........

Outside those cheap online e-stores (shout out GearGadget - Alibaba) who cares about China anyway? South Korea & Japan (more so Korea) is where the wave is at. Those two are the most dominant in terms of chic/sophisticated meets street wear.

It's like the Flinstones over there. Raining for half an hour ain't that bad, in England we can get rain for literally all day. I'm guessing you avoided going certain food spots lol I i heard the food over there cause major diarrhea problems. I'm guessing you saw a shyt ton of bad drivers and motorcyclists?

No way I was eating anything outside or drinking anything that wasn't sealed and bottled...

Doctor warned me about that, that travelers diarrhea is a borderline death sentence...

As far as liquids I primarily lived off the minibar...Granted the Taj has its own filtration system so no need to worry on the water front but I wasn't taking any chances...

I only ate at the Taj which basically served whatever you wanted...At the office they would order food and I always hit them with the I'm not hungry...In reality I was starving, I'd go back to the Taj and clear out all the turkey breast with gravy biscuits they had...They had a nice little Turkish restaurant to and a Asian gourmet spot...One night I even had steak granted they only had a sirloin cut but I needed my red meat fix...Seen it on the menu a few times but I was hesitant because the locals have some religious thing with cows...Kid you not they made the Christian security guard serve it to me cause nobody else would go near it as if the shyt was laced with plague...I almost didn't even eat it cause it all seemed suspect...What I don't understand is why even have it on the menu if you can't serve it?

bu bu bu it's religion that makes the world crazy. China is like 95% Atheist

Chinese Religions, Beliefs: Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism

China has been a multi-religion country since the ancient times. It is well known that Confucianism is an indigenous religion and is the soul of Chinese culture, which enjoyed popular support among people and even became the guiding ideology for feudalism society, but it did not develop into a national belief. It makes the culture more tolerant to others, thus, many other religions have been brought into the country in different dynasties, but none of them developed powerful enough in the history and they only provide diverse people more spiritual support.

According to a latest survey, 85% of Chinese people have religious beliefs or had some religious practices and only 15% of them are real atheists. The real atheists here refer to those who lack belief in the existence of deities and do not join in any religious activities. 185 million people believe in Buddhism and 33 million have faith in Christianity and believes in the existence of God. Only 12 million people are Taoists, although more than one hundred million have taken part in Taoism activities before. Thus, it is obvious that the Buddhism has the widest influence. The other major religions are Taoism, Confucianism, Islam and Christianity.
