Dr. Umar Johnson & Nick Cannon: Is Hip-hop Cancer or Culture??

Modern hip hop is a cancer. I wish more black artist would pivot towards cleaner pop music. That lane is wide open for them. The gratuitous usage of the n-word is gross. All the popular songs casually drop the n-word. All over social media I see kids dancing and rapping to vulgar trash.
Yes, but he is a cancer too through his actions. I would suggest my people avoid both of them at the moment. Hip Hop until it is better, and Umar as long as he is a hypocrite.
That is my unvarnished opinion.

The n-word is being used WAY too casually in non black spaces. Gen Z damn near use it as a filler word.

Is Dr Umar a deadbeat or retired father? 
I am so proud of my coli brethren for immediately calling this charlatan out on his bullshyt
Hip hop is blamed for the ails of our community way too much. It is a reflection of what is going on, not a cause of it. Yes some of it is ignorant AF and has little to no value, but itβs just a window into what is actually happening. Drug dealing, street violence, the mistreatment of women ALL existed in our community in excess before hip hop was even a thing and certainly before these images became popular in the genre.

It glorified the negative aspects and altered the viewpoints what black males and females should be.
That word "glorified" is used very freely in this conversation. The music continually references people who have died in the streets due to violence, or dudes who are locked up for 100 years. Does that sound like "glory" to you?
I would say people like Dr. Umar are a bigger threat to the community than hip hop could ever be. And I'm particularly referencing his lack of connection to his children. If you don't raise your children, the streets will become their stepparent and then anything can happen.
yep, because they're viewed as legends. A 12 year old ain't looking at a doctor, lawyer or teacher when the dope dealer is 8 years older than him with a Benz, bytches and his name being shout out on a mixtape.
Does this 12 year old live with their parents or they just out here roughing it solo? Last time I checked it was the parents job to confront this. And whats wild is parents today have even less of an excuse than previous generations because they actually grew up on hip hop. They know what it is. Yes negative images in the media will ALWAYS be there. It's your job as a parent to guide your kids through that. And on that same mixtape I GUARANTEE someone in jail or in a casket is getting a shoutout. You think the 12 year old is just skipping that part?
