Ice Cube says rap encourages criminal behavior

[Tupac in a Business Suit]

He ain’t lying. Glad to see Cube admit the error of his ways and that rap and hip hop culture is garbage.

Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It dropped when he was in his late 30s early 40s.

Which was 10-15 years ago. You still engaging in all the same things you did back then?​

I like fried chicken but I can also admit the negative aspect of eating fried chicken everyday.

As much as I love rap music, I can also admit it's negative traits. It's almost like some of you are SCARED to admit the obvious because you think your "hip-hop card" or "black card" will be revoked.


Here's music producer Hitmaka telling us out of his own mouth how rap music influenced him to gravitate towards the streets and eventually sell drugs despite both of his parents being literal millionaires:




Some of us were influenced heavily while some of us could listen to the same music and not be influenced.

The prison industry, who are in bed with the music industry, are banking on the percentage who ARE influenced by it.

Given the new rappers that have been promoted in the past year, it’s getting harder & harder to argue against this

Some of them are literal walking stereotypes of Black men and Women

 

[TEH]

It probably does encourage some of it



But to directly link it like that is ridiculous.

He’s top 10 -15 greatest rappers of all time. He’s ruining his legacy

Another Breakfast Club clip that fits neatly into this discussion:

Nobody told him it's just entertainment

@Matt504 doing a victory lap right now. Cube pretty much corroborated what he and other coli posters been saying all this time.

I guess gangster rap really did make him do it.

Cigarette ads don't make people smoke cigarettes either, any idea why they are banned on television and radio?

Why are there beer commercials then

 

[breakfuss]

Ice Cube has lost all credibility at this point so this tracks.

Music is very influential. The slaves had their hymns & negro spirituals… civil rights era had gospel & soul music… we got gangsta & drill

That’ll explain everything right there

This is one dumbass post and I hope it’s sarcasm. Crime was actually worse during the so-called “gospel and soul music” era. Heroin plagued our communities. Y’all are so fukking simple minded.

 

[Matt504]

Why are there beer commercials then

Because beer companies thread a needle that cigarette companies did not. For example, most beer companies don't feature anyone drinking at all. You'll see people holding beers, you'll even see beers being poured but rarely if ever will you see people featured drinking them. I personally think beer commercials should be banned but that's neither here nor there.

“Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into inward places of the soul, on which they mightily fasten”[imparting grace, and making the soul of him who is rightly educated graceful or of him who is ill-educated ungraceful; and also because he who has received this true education of the inner being will most shrewdly perceive omissions or faults in arts and nature, and with a true taste, while he praises and rejoices over and received into his soul the good, and becomes noble and good, he will justly blame and hate the bad, now in days of his youth before he is able to know the reason why, and when the reason comes he will recognize and salute the friend with whom his education has made him long familiar ]

no matt usually can admit when actual facts are thrown in his face, he admit that music doesn't cause people to commit crime/violence.... he just mad that it celebrates the behavior..... or some shyt like that
