How different would the black community be if they embraced New Jack Swing over Gangster Rap

[HandyWithTheSteel]

nikka the black community DID embrace New Jack Swing. And the result was that it ended up killing R&B music.

The New Jack Swing of the late ‘80e turned into Bad Boy and Jermaine Dupri type of style of the mid ‘90s. Singers weren’t singing and hitting notes anymore, they were just harmonizing and sing-rapping. By the early 2000s, this is what most mainstream R&B music sounded like:

Funny thing is, Play was a real street dude, probably moreso than Snoop.

I don’t believe that. He has no record. Snoop does.

 

[Thurgood Thurston III]

Crime was high before and during new jack swing....

 

[Thurgood Thurston III]

No change. Violent crime rates in most American cities peaked in the late 80s/early 90s. The heyday of New Jack Swing.

You can New Jack Swing from my nuts

Vs

What’s funny is the new Jack swing guy was more gangster than the gangster rap guy in real life. Reality is both are great actors.

You iterally can't tell the difference between the locker room and the bushes anymore.

you can swap content and it wouldn't make a difference.

Technically, most of the content in The Bushes originated in TLR.

I'm not a tattle tale. And if people reported b.s. threads enough, you might as well change the name to the Bushes instead of Locker Room.

ok. i don't see what posting to complain is going to do. they obviously can't be shamed

Without even being there I know that if you were in a party in Brooklyn in 1992 it was prolly getting shottup to a New Jack Swing song not no illmatic.

To answer the thread's question, i think the main issue is the number of kids being raised by single mothers with no constant male energy in the household. The lyrical content of rap has an impact but not as big.

this would be yall's answer to why world hunger exists or civil wars...get a new boogey man

For real

Most the gangstas/dope boys etc would be right in the clubs on the weekend doing the running and man and the cabbage patch to teddy Riley and Jimmy jam and Terry Lewis production.

The only thing gangsta rap was, was the mainstreaming and commercializing of what was already permeating in the Black community. Gangsta rap turned nobody Gangsta.

I'm curious to see if there is research demonstrating a correlation between crime, incarceration, prostitution, drug use, etc. and kids being raised by single mothers...say there was, would you agree at that point that it might not be a boogeyman?
