Another Rapper Dead… We need to talk about the Culture

[Arithmetic]

Pointing the finger at the music and pointing the finger at how he was moving are two sides of the same coin. Sadly, neither are the root cause. The root cause is why we have to point the finger at those two. We're doomed. Period

If it was Justin beiber in a new Benz and 200k in jewelry in south central with no security... and he resisted giving up the goods during the robbery... the outcome would have been exactly the same

This is a socioeconomic issue, not a black self hatred issue.

Black self hatred and socioeconomics go hand in hand

Black self hatred and socioeconomics go hand in hand

Do other races suffer from this same correlation with self hatred?

 

[Duke Wy Lin]

Where do kids look to for inspiration and guidance if they have no strong father figures in their lives? Of course it's the culture around them and the images that they see portrayed. What would possess a young boy to want to be part of a gang? Or walk around with a gun. Why would he think those things are cool?

If culture influences children (which I'm sure most of us would agree with), and if hip-hop is culture, then it naturally follows that hip-hop influences and shapes impressionable minds.

I don't see how anyone could argue against this in good faith.

Black self hatred comes from the same place as rap violence, and if we're honest, while rap violence is pushed up by cac music execs the ease with which it's accepted comes from the same place as Black women aborting their babies at a higher rate than any other race of people in the US, also the casual use of racial slurs for each other and the stubborn refusal to stop doing it.

And the desire to show off any meager money you have to impress no one in particular making yourself a target, and Black women foolishly attacking Black men, and the absurd worship of white women some Black men have even though they view them as little more than a walking sex object that they have no respect for and never will.

It's because Black Americans are miserable in the US given that they can't build anything without it being destroyed by cacs so the community just has a lot of anger, depression, despair, and some have an absurd desire to integrate with whites because they foolishly think that's a way out but they hate you so you can't escape most of the barriers they put up to stop you from advancing.

PNB stayed in some beef and I remember him and his boys jumped Lil B. I hate to say it, but nikkas like PNB are not good for our community and he would spit in any of you nikkas faces if you got to close. Spare me the fake sympathy for this nikka.

He’s mostly characterized as a solid dude and helped a lot of rappers come up and on their come up.

Lil B got jumped by Highbridge because he dissed A boogie and at that time PnB Rock was close with the whole Highbridge the label.

These rappers need to start dressing and flaunting their wealth as conservatively as their political leanings and they'll be less likely to be targeted in robberies and shyt.

 

[Unfiltered]

Issue is black people hate black people.

Another issue is black men gotta figure for respect, a big sign of respect is marriage not baby momma's. Until the culture changes it's a wrap.

 

[Consigliere]

He wouldn’t even have walked around his home town with all that shine and no strap.

Badlands? Nope
EA? Nope
Nice town? Nope
West Philly? Nope
South Philly? Nope
Huntington Park? Nope
Not even South Street

RIP

 

[Another Man]

Issue is black people hate black people.

And the fact that this culture makes black death "entertainment" to many as well as having black lives looking cheap fuels the fire
