All Rappers Need to Stop Making Music About Guns, Drugs & Other Dumb shyt

[sporticus]

I agree with threadstarter.

Prepare for a bunch of "they just rappin' about their environment" and "music don't cause violence" replies like a bunch of sheep.

it's not even that, they just blind as fukk when it comes to what the music is doing. everybody knows most the music we currently listen to is 80% bullshyt. people are dumbed down to the point it's not even funny no more. it's all good though, i'll stay wake while they stay blind.

nah b, that's exactly what it is. the entertainment industry, and music industry started with minstrel shows. Black face ignorance was enjoyed on a national level, what makes you think it's changed?

Minstrel show - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Minstrel shows lampooned black people as dim-witted,[1] lazy,[1] buffoonish,[1][2] superstitious, happy-go-lucky,[1] and musical. The minstrel show began with brief burlesques and comic entr'actes in the early 1830s and emerged as a full-fledged form in the next decade. By 1848, blackface minstrel shows were the national artform, translating formal art such as opera into popular terms for a general audience.[3]

The very structure of American entertainment bears minstrelsy's imprint. The endless barrage of gags and puns appears in the work of the Marx Brothersand David and Jerry Zucker. The varied structure of songs, gags, "hokum" and dramatic pieces continued into vaudeville, variety shows, and to modernsketch comedy shows such as Hee Haw or, more distantly, Saturday Night Live and In Living Color.[137][138][139] Jokes once delivered by endmen are still told today: "Why did the chicken cross the road?" "Why does a fireman wear red suspenders?"[140] Other jokes form part of the repertoire of modern comedians: "Who was that lady I saw you with last night? That was no lady—that was my wife!"[90] The stump speech is an important precursor to modernstand-up comedy.[141]

if rappers could flip all that "violence" in their raps into motivation maybe they could be onto something. i'm more of a fan when rappers use storytelling as a way to express themselves. Pac, Nas, BIG, Jay all have used that in their music .

thsi is the music i'd rather gravitate towards, not the crap that's being pushed on us now.

tell that to the kids out in Chicago, it's no joke out there.

Chicago had a murder rate almost reaching the 1000's litterally before Chief Keef and Co. were born.

You guys continuously go after hip hop because it's easier for you to do (which for the record outside of the coli and awkward ass one sided conversations you ain't doing shyt) as oppose to trying to actually get involved with people on the ground.

If you really think Pharaell or Lil Durk is responsible for the current, yet generational plight in the black community you're an idiot

after what Meek Mill said i agree that most these rappers who rap about these topics need to tone it down a bit and really start changing people's perspective about Hip Hop. most people look at them as hypocrites rapping about these things while starting to preach about how they can do that due to the enviroment they were brought up on. guys like Kendrick & J.Cole are good examples when it comes to these topics, but people bash them for being boring which is dumb as shyt. rappers need to take a stand and not condone all that violence in the music all the time, unless there's a story behind it.

u sound dumb as hell. plz shut the fukk up and go listen to cole.

Doesn't matter, the anti-hip hop crusade love to drag him as if he's a facilitator of black youth dealing dope despite the following variables that are never touched upon.


1) has anyone actually started dealing drugs because of that song?

2) has anyone black started dealing because of that song, if so why is that?

3.)Do black youth even listen to or even aware who Pharrell even is?

4.) If they do, and they do in fact deal drugs, are the other messages from his music that they incorporate?

I mean if we're being for real about this we gotta approach this from all angles now

coli militants of TLR are already trying to flip this thread over its head

Pharrell is a producer, you must be talking about The Clipse then.
