Anybody Else Getting Sicker & Sicker of Rap Music?

[Bossino]

Everytime I see thread title on the first page I think of De La Soul. Crazier how the discourse of the thread is encompassed in a song from 25 years ago

"Sick of swole head rappers and they "sicker than raps"

Stakes Is High, indeed

I'm dead serious, these are grounds for a class action lawsuit..people are crying for reparations but there's many other places Black people have been wronged and not gotten paid. The suit it may help shut up the record industry.

The thing is, a lot of the Pro-Reparations people are defending this crap as "its just entertainment" but at the same time, scream at the top of their lungs and downplay anything of pro-black positivity in music. Its like audio cocaine to them, and they rather be dead, than for this music of negativity to be criticized fairly.

The majority of it I can't stomach. I stick with my late 80's,90's & early 2000's playlists.

There’s some really good shyt out there, you just have to dig or get lucky to find them unfortunately.

Why is it these coward rappers stay talking about, killing each other, selling drugs to the community, but when a cop get’s inserted into the lyrics all the cops get is a “ eff you” and rapper runs away?

rappers are trash...

I'm guessing you've never heard of NWA, The Geto Boys, Ice-T (COP KILLER, HELLO!!!), 2pac, or like 90% of gangsta rappers who rap about killing cops

Can Black people sue rappers and their parent companies for profiting off of the continued degradation of Black people for decades..

They get Black people to make music yelling N this N that, kill that N etc..then selling their racist product to a majority White audience.

No, you can't sue people for making music you don't like.

The thing is, a lot of the Pro-Reparations people are defending this crap as "its just entertainment" but at the same time, scream at the top of their lungs and downplay anything of pro-black positivity in music. Its like audio cocaine to them, and they rather be dead, than for this music of negativity to be criticized fairly.

I'm pro reparations.

I grew up on NWA

I grew up on Public Enemy

I grew up on Ice Cube

Lupe Fiasco's my favorite MC

You can love both

I just love Hip-Hop

When it's done well

Everybody taps out at some point..

That's the scary thing.....Even super thugs of yesteryear are at the young dudes who on this Drill wave. There is no bottoming out, which is the scary part.

I'm with many here in that I can't listen to a lot of the new shyt. Nothing wrong with the occasional violent track but you have to have balance. Even the hardest rappers back in the day (DMX, Cube, etc) had hits about things other than violence and gunplay.

Yeah so STFU.

Had to look it up. Apparently a lot of this was because the price of diamonds fell and the abolishment of the "breach of promise". So I guess you can STFU?

yeah this shyt really getting too demonic ...and what really makes it extra scary is that it’s hardly any variation in it on the mainstream level

Gang culture predates Hip Hop so I can't a agree, it goes all the way back to the 1960s, the gangs of today are the gangs of the 60s

Those older gang members also listened to funk acts like the Ohio Players, Parliament, Zapp etc, so that's not even necessarily true about what they were bumping, they listened to what is popular from their era

If crime went down and educational obtainment went up as Hip Hop became more popular, then people aren't doing what the music is saying

Hip Hop didn't create a subgroup of people that killed each other, gang killings were already happening, whether it was fighting over territory, drug money, pimping, etc

Music is a reflection of the culture of people's environments

The large spike in crime in the mid 80s to the mid 90s was the influx of Crack Cocaine in the community, what you see today is the lasting affects of The Crack Era

The same problem that created those gangs in the 60s is still here today, poverty; blacks are still the poorest group in the nation and thus have the highest rate of crime in the urban areas they live in

Blacks in wealthier areas listen to the same degenerates and don't have the crime or the ills of those without money

Felt that way since when everybody was trying to harmonize and shyt 4 years ago.
