:blessed: Listen to self destructive music everyday that motivates killing, thievery, treating women like shyt, and not expect it to influence your everyday life.

The thing with violence in Chicago is that it almost has to fall under the guise of "gang related" due to the massive hegemonic gangs that have controlled neighborhoods for over 50 years now. Its gang related by virtue of you living in a Black neighborhood.
I feel bad for the bystanders, and this has been out of hand for too long.
is there any solution?

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Yea they can be influenced IN CHICAGO...rap video sets are NOT getting shot up anywhere else but Chicago(if it does happen somewhere else it's random as fukk)...nah b, this is a simple brain chicago problem. Atl NY Memphis, LA rap video shoots aren't getting shot up and really never have....no this is about Chicago nikkas exclusively, TRYING TO BE MURDERERS AND RAPPERS at the same damn time....that doesn't work:francis:
The dudes in the video you're quoting are from New York.......

Where did the shooting happen...and where were the shooters from...and just cuz somebody is from somewhere else...doesn't mean they don't live in their present place (chi in this example) and become a product of those surroundings. If they shot the video in NY...this probably wouldn't of happened. I'm not doing a bio search on these dudes...we gotta stop denying it ...that Chicago is responsible for Chicago...not rap/hip hop.

I agree and disagree with that statement. For the most part rap is just entertainment. What's happening in Chicago has just as much to do with the gangs that have been there for 5-plus decades than it has to do with rap. Rap is just the vehicle to get their message to the enemies out there. The Opps would've got him whether he was a rapper, or whether he was doing bee-bop. BUT then again, the Drill Music isn't helping the situation. I guess I see both sides of the argument. Music can be influential, but anyone who's even a tiny bit familiar with Chicago's gang-history has to believe that this violence would be here anyway. It's like the Chicken or the Egg argument.

I was watching a Vlad interview with MC Eiht, and he said that in LA, they used to do Drive-by's to Marvin Gaye's "I heard it Through The Grapevine", or Parliament-Funkadelic tunes. I kid you not.

More people were getting killed way before drill music came around. The homicide numbers are approximately half what they were in the 70s and 80s. But on the other hand kids nowadays are much more p*ssy than before and are quick to use a gun for even the most petty beefs.

Gresham/Austin are on FIREEE.

Gang violence was worst in Chicago before hip hop got here. The 70s had the most bodies. This drill era is much safer than back then

Yoi cant just put rap is the cause for violence. So many other factors to put before rap. You dont see this shyt going down in middle class or richer communities. And a lot of those kids bumping the same music.

And a lot of these nikkas who complain about negative rappers aint supporting positive rappers. The truth is positive rappers are just as popular as negative ones today
Hiphop culure is playing a HUGE role in our own selfhate and distrust of each other. Its playing a huge role in why some blacks feel more comfortable around "others", than their own people. Its part of the reason blacks dnt want to do business and spend at "black" establishments".

Hiphop culture keeps the negative stereotype that black people are violent, unintelligent, hypersexual and just overall an inferior race of people.

THATS the big picture of what hiphop culture is doing. Not whether or not its making people pick up guns and shooting people.

Theres a much bigger hip hop culture going on than outside of thug rap. Speaking from a younger perspective there are a lot of more positive or alternative rappers gaining large followings from youth thanks to the internet. So no, hip hop culture is not limited to drugs, liquor, sex, and violence.

Like I said the violent music comes from violent areas. Yes it help feeds into a culture of violence in urban communities but the actual causes of this culture go deeper than just rap. These kids are frustrated and disenfranchised. Guns and drugs are more accessible to them than college or a job.

Pointing the finger at hip hop doesnt do anything but put a distraction over the root causes. What came first? Gangsta rap or gang violence?
