Black Radio Is Sickening/Poisonous

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

Kathy Hughes' voice annoys me.

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

Yall don't buy albums/singles like that so that's why you hear what you hear. Don't like what's playing either request something better or ignore it.

I don't listen to the radio tho because it's embarrassing

 

[Micky Mikey]

that's really my whole point of this thread. the youth are the impressionable ones. im 31 so Lil Wayne, Young Thug and 2Chainz are strictly entertainers/actors to me but to a lot of youth they are being looked up to. kids are emulating what these rappers are doing and soaking in the negative messages that they are spewing over hot beats

Yes its truly disgusting. In normal circumstances I would call these clowns (lil wayne, young thug, 2chainz) entertainers. However, given the conditions of young black people in this country I look at them as mere tools used to make a profit off of our destruction.

Yeah i heard this on my way to publix one day (I hardly listen to the radio like that), but yeah but I was thinking to myself like this should not be promoted on the radio I mean

that really make it look like "aint shyt". They even got a song with women rapping talking about "you a side piece". The radio is really equivalent to love and hiphop



They aint really even running shyt like such a goofy song lmao. Performance is like watching a monkey skateboard or some shyt

Stay on the side ho

When I listen to the radio, I listen to either gospel or pop stations (it's pretty much been that way for about four years). I stopped listening to hip hop stations for the very reasons stated in the OP.

K104 in Dallas is

pure d ratchet




Rickey Smiley gay bytch ass has the most ignorant ass morning show

wow im impressed . everybody in this thread sees the light and is in agreement with me about this subject. took 5 whole pages before the first idiot made an appearance

No one is doing something because they heard it from Wayne or 2chainz

That's just a convenient excuse

The early 90s crime in the black community was at its all time worse. Explain that?

Today you have the fewest black teenage pregnancies, more black people in college, more black people with degrees

Something ain't adding up

 

[↓R↑LYB]

Personally I've trying to find hip hop songs/albums with a pan African vibe to it, but there's very few artists who are actually good. Last song I came across with this a milli freestyle.



It'd be dope if there were actually conscious black music like this.

Yes they are, I'm from Philadelphia and you wouldnt believe the influence Meek Mill has on the children out there. You think this kid rapping to a bunch of fatherless children isnt influencing them? You dont think Chief Keef has a similar effect in his hometown?

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

there are white radio stations that are ratchet too tho

what effect? I need empirical data on the effect these rappers are having on kids?

 

[CrimsonTider]

Looks like crime is down during the Chief Keef, Wayne 2chainz era versus the golden era of hiphop

Indeed, the statistics of California in 1990 were alarming:

• 221 black youths were arrested for murder,
• 4,235 for drug offenses
• 6,884 for violent felonies,
• 22,441 for all felonies, and
• 45,703 for all offenses.

In 2012, in a California black-youth population of similar size (around 250,000 age 10-17) and a similarly complete statewide crime report:

• 20 black youths were arrested for murder,
• 1,019 for drug offenses
• 2,886 for violent felonies,
• 8,288 for all felonies, and
• 24,889 for all offenses.

Oh, why the radio is poisoning the youth but black people (kids and adults) are in a better position than ever.

Why is crime dropping? why are there more black people in college? @PhonZhi

This thread is a fukking bytch fest. Complain about the radio in 2014, brehs.

I don't agree with or support unnecessarily negative depictions of black folks but that shyt doesn't make me mad. If it entertains me I rock with it, if it doesn't then I turn it off. I'm not defined by my tastes nor do I seek refuge in the radio. Maybe when I was 9 I did but not now. I listen to young thug and paramore



the thought of this has had me laughing for 10 minutes.

I personally listen to chief keef and yg but I know that there subject material is not to be looked up to. I am saying though that the radio should not promote certain things because the younger audience internalizes this stuff the wrong way. Like why promote your "side piece" on the radio and why wouldn't someone be concerned with that.

and the most frustrating part about it is that nobody seems to even care or even notice!! you come off as a lame if you try spitting knowledge to cats in real life. especially here in Atl where everybody trying to live that Love And Hiphop life

The young black youth is a clear erfllection of what you hear on the radio. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

I think if you change the radio content, then the youth will shift as well. Until then we will continue to be this way.

absolutely nothing positive, inspiring or motivational. same songs about moving dope, materialism, degradation of women, booty shakin, and being bout dat life . segments like Paternity Test Tuesdays and here in Atlants there's a segment on 107.9 where they actually encourage ppl to call in and shout out their side-pieces. black radio is straight up embarrassing to listen to if your eyes and mind is really open to whats going on

what you described sounds just like Dallas radio. And what bad is, the fact that grown ppl are listening to this on their way to work and start their day.
