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?

all of those are correlated to socioeconomic conditions...and single mothers are more highly represented in lower economic classes, correlation, not causation - the cause is poverty. and most of those stats have decreased in the US, mainly due to efforts to stop over-policing non violent crime and intervention/education programs, while single parenthood has increased - again, disproving single moms as being the devil. furthermore, they've done studies and shown children in more affluent single mother households do nearly or just as well as two parent homes - once again proving economics to be the driver of life outcomes.

so again no, single moms are not your boogey man...if you look across the world, places where people still get married/are forced to marry, poverty/poor socioeconomic mobility drives poor life outcomes, this has always been true.

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:

When this came out…this had the streets on fire!


You right that the New Jack Swing era opened the gateway for more R&B and Hip Hop collabs in the 90s. Starting with Jodeci.

Then in the 2000s you had cats like Nelly and Ja Rule using melody in their raps.



Which later gave birth to dudes like Drake

The Wrong Side of the Tracks
NJS was embraced by the Black community for 5-8 years, then, it oversaturated the market and got played-out......like disco. Only difference is disco got 'killed' by 'White' people.

Notice, 'White' people don't have the same energy against drill music or gangsta rap.

I see you're talking about the the rap version and not the RnB. The black community did embrace new jack swing, but by 93 it had ran it's course. That Kid in play video was from 91 and the Snoop one is from 94 two different eras breh.

True, but blame Eazy E and NWA from 1991 and Onyx from 1993 for literally transforming the black youth from being regular people to superthugs catching bodies for street cred and being "real nikkas". Mental slavery cranked up to 1000. The Prison Industrial Complex must be laughing all the way to the bank when these rappers said that jail made you into a real man.
