Corporate hip-hop promotes black male extermination

[Citi Trends]

everyone except anti hiphop people seems to understand that art for the most part is created from a situation it does not create it

the people would need to change the music not have the music change the people
this is akin to a pull up your pants argument

 

[Couth]

Dude made some good points. I can't stop fukkin wit rap though.

OP is correct. The black community will never progress as long as the rap/hiphop culture (the way it is now) remains the main representation of us blacks. @TheReckoning dont be surprised if your thread is moved to the bushes. Ive noticed threads dedicated to how poisonous rap has become has a short shelf life

Not surprised its all apart of the fight.

This argument is overdone and ridiculous. When did the celebration of black men killing other black men (and black women) become art? And on that note everyone except those who can read between the lines, see that rap is now a tool of white supremacy. The record labels are puppet masters and the "artist" are the puppets. Both need to be ostracized from the black community. These puppets we call rappers are essentially turncoats who would have sold their own people into slavery back in the day.

I had to argue with a white person, that the deification of rappers by street nikkas is a myth that only people who have never met real street nikkas would believe.
Ain't nobody(possibly a tiny minority) committing murders because they heard a rapper talk about it.

The one thing I always concede, it rap does encourage nikkas that have no business selling drugs to attempt it.
Which in turns leads to nikkas getting arrested more, because most rap is a terrible crime tutorial.

it isnt really the older "real" street dudes that worry me tho. its the impressionable young 19 and under crowd. the most dangerous dudes in the streets are all under 19. every real dude i ever met did his best to stay out the box but these kids do everything to go in because its like a boyscout medal to have done time or to "bust your gun". young dudes dont think thats what makes them so scary. rap glorifies that shyt.

The young dudes that really shoot aren't usually aren't doing it because raps either.
If you really watch the streets, most of the young street nikkas look up to older street nikkas wayyy more than rappers.

Hell rappers look up to street nikkas, not the other way around. All these booboo ass fashion trends (like True Religions, Robins, and ugly luxury sneakers) street nikkas with money started those trends not rappers.
You'll be surprised how many of these rap nikkas go into full blown bop mode when they get around nikkas that run their city on some street shyt.
They're fans of the gangsters and real trappers, a lot of them rap about that street shyt because they wish they had to heart to do it.

Like I said the deification of rappers by the streets is a myth, it's the other way around. Rap doesn't make people live that life, rappers rap about it because there are people living that life.

If this argument was made in the 90s there'd be a lot of Black opposition to it..but now, many people who would argued in favor of all the negativity in rap would support an outright ban..

i dont think its a direct cause, but its a factor. back in the day, the things the real dudes did were mostly secrets. it was whispers among people in that area but nobody said it out loud and things were sort of taboo. rap put the shyt out on front street and even glorified it. before the goal was never to make your name ring bells, it was just something u had to do to survive and u kept your mouth quiet about it. but because of rap, everybody has to know your dirt.

i guess its not so much the violent nature of rap that i find to be so bad for the youth, but the braggadocio of it. it makes it so some of these kids are HOPING for a chance to prove themselves and make their name ring bells. not like the rappers they listen to, but the real street dudes who the rappers glorify.

I think you have to go way back in the days to find a time d-boys and street nikkas weren't deified in the slums, it was happening during the disco and funk era, the music just wasn't conveying it so people think it wasn't.
And it's not even exclusive to the USA, you can go to Africa or South America and the slum kids look up to and want to be the like hoods that run their slums, it's kinda goes back to speech at the beginning of "Goodfellas" kids wanna be gangsters because they seem to have power in an area where nobody has power.
People forget white folks were deifying the Mafia and dudes like Capone and the Commission long before black crime made it's way into entertainment.

Alpo and Rich Porter were those nikkas in their hood way before the era of gangsta rap, same goes for Preme Team, Frank Matthews, Frank Lucas, all those legendary new york drug dealers. Or gangsters like Raymond and Tookie, Larry Hoover, Jeff Fort etc.

But you have a point with the rappers helping to bolster the street nikkas legends and glorifying it, like when Drake comes to Houston he is with killers from all sides of town smiling, calling them his brothers, popping bottles in V-Live and Limelight.
There are kids that probably see stuff like that and consider meeting celebrities and being "live" as part of the benefits of the street life and think "hey I can't rap or play sports, but if I earn a name in the streets I can be a somebody too".

blame rappers for u being a fukk up brehs

 

[PhonZhi]

I was hoping that Bobby SchMURDA "audition" vid woulda made this more clear to ppl

The record labels are puppet masters and the "artist" are the puppets. .

 

[Data-Hawk]

My son won't be listening to it..

 

[Cynic]

When can we denounce this genre of music (at least the negative side of it) once and for all?

Is there still any doubt that this genre of music has brainwashed an entire generation?

Is there still any doubt that this genre of music has become a tool for racist to exterminate black males?

When you can get a time machine and reverse the conditions that spawned this music ?

When you can stop the gender discourse post civil rights which created matriarchal fatherless household ?

This is exactly how I feel. Sad bc I grew up in brooklyn during the goat era. (Mid-late 90s)
When I heard lil wayne and the lox on that gotta song I couldn't help hut cringe at hearing jada and styles spit that gun/robbery talk. shyts embarrassing at this point.

Dr Boyce made some great points. The biggest problem is that there is no balance. We don't have an equally as popular counterpart to lil wayne.
