Had to bring this thread over here from the booth.


I personally agree with him:

I agree 100%. Drill rap is literally music about the death and destruction of black people.

No offense to anybody reading this (we all walk different paths in this life and come to enlightenment at different rates, so I'm not judging none of you) but if you enjoy drill rap , I assume you're either A) not black B) young (in which you get a pass) or C) you have little to no "racial pride" as a black person.

I get it, it sounds good. The beats bang. Trust me, I get it. But the CONTENT should disturb you as a black person. You shouldn't be able to listen to it. It shouldn't sit right with your spirit being the original man.

Think about this for a second: imagine if I wrote and recorded a diss record about your grandmother or anyone you love dearly. Imagine me rapping about pulling up on ya mother and turning her house into swiss cheese over a scorching hot beat that "bangs in the whip"......would you still enjoy it?
Would you ride around bumping a song about the shooting and killing of ya own loved one?


No, you wouldn't because the song is about someone you LOVE. I personally can't stand drill rap and alot of other rap in general, because I LOVE black people. I LOVE us , so this music doesn't sit right with me no matter how much it bangs.

I hope that we as a people someday raise our collective consciousness so that we will look back someday and cringe that we ever liked that type of music in the first place

If a Jewish rapper made a song about killing other Jews the song would be scrubbed from the internet and the rapper would be outcasted from the community. He would be looked at as a traitor and would have to apologize publicly to his people to be let back in.

What do y'all think?

He’s right. You can hear it in the frequencies. It’s garbage music made to bring chaos. Y’all better understand what bombsrding yourselves with negative energy does.

 

[Koba St]

Somehow I get the feeling nobody gives a fukk what that racist maga fakkit thinks about black culture

 

[Joe Budden]

New York rap was so stagnant for years because guys like this wouldn’t embrace the youth. I support all the young New Yorkers making music.

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

"make my beats fakkit"

I am no fan of "drill" rap nor any of the so called rap artists of today.

But...

I came to the understanding that the music of today or rather the popular music of today isn't for me.

Every generation has it's music that they enjoy.

The artists who make that kind of music don't need my approval. They have a wide enough fanbase to sustain their careers for the time being, then the next generation will take over with some other style of music so on and so forth.

Pete Rock is a middle aged artist. His fan base is around the same age. Instead of focusing on what the younger generation likes now, he would be better off staying in his lane and focus on his peer group who would support his music.

Youngsters don't wanna hear music from the Golden Era. They like what's out now and it is their right!

Makes no sense to complain about it now because what is out now is here. Hip hop has grown so massive that there is literally something, someone, some sound, some style out for everyone.

That’s BS. All drill isn’t super gangsta

Keys and Kanye

over came struggles

story

Kay flock and all them dudes got locked up. Pushing the super gangsta shyt.

 

[KingsOfKings]

He's not wrong

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

I'm not the target demographic for the genre and don't listen to it.​

 

[010101]

reality comes before the music

the artist are emerging from trash circumstances

to fix the music you would have to fix everything about the world artists are coming from

Old person doesn't like young person music. More at 11

 

[King Jove]

Eh, it's just not for me. At a time when white supremacist are murdering black people in grocery stores or churches, it doesn't feel right to listen to black men rapping about killing each other anymore (espeically when a lot of these dudes are actually doing it as well).

[Child_Of_God]

Bitter old nikka babble.

Most Boom Bap artists were rapping about the same shyt (robbing, killing op’s and drug dealing) back in the 90’s. Drill rap is obviously newer and hot right now so off course Pete is going to hate on it.

 

[Elim Garak]

He's right lol.
