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.



They literally use rap to promote things and do product placement. So they clearly understand there is an influence there.


Social engineering- the use of centralized planning in an attempt to manage social change and regulate the future development and behavior of a society.
"the country's unique blend of open economics and social engineering"



The problem is yall are missing the nuance and going straight to "rap dont make you kill people:damn:". Obviously the threshhold for music making you do that would be much higher. But what about all the other things that are not illegal,and probably seem harmless on their own. But are very toxic and dangerous in a harsher environment,or when coupled together.



Also you completely ignore how rap culture is being used to portray a certain image of black people. Which would mean people are being socially engineered to view us in a certain light. Like maybe the police viewing us as dangerous based on the music. Yall are looking at it one sided:respect:

How come rap is blamed for Black violence, but Metal isn't blamed for 'White' violence?

:jbhmm:
Because black men get sex and respect by acting like drill rappers. Hell, NOT acting like a gangster/thug can cost you sex

Now for cacs, if cacs got sex and respect by acting like bat-eating rockstars then you’d probably see Armageddon outside.

For goodness sakes, you got drill rappers performing at fukking Howard! What that fukk is up with y’all defending this obviously self deprecating bullshyt?

Like, damn near EVERYTHING C Delores Tucker said about gangster rappers came true. Everything. But keep saying “but cacs” tho

now will Ice Cube take responsibility for lyrics like these?

[Intro]
Male: shyt, I'm tired as fukk
C'mon, baby, let's get the fukk home
Female: Let's hurry up, I hate this neighborhood
Male: nikka' trippin' over here and shyt..
Dr. Dre: Hey! Hey nikka!
Male: Oh, shyt!
Female: Just keep walkin', don't turn around
Dr. Dre: Hey homeboy! 'Sup muthafukka?
Male: Here we go again..
Dr. Dre: You and your muthafukkin' bytch, wussup?
Male: Hey, nikka, why you fukkin' with me?
Dr. Dre: fukk you nikka! Cuz I can!
(Gunshot) (Female Screams)

[Verse 1: Dr. Dre (Ice Cube)]
Journey with me into the mind of a maniac
Doomed to be a killer since I came out the nut sack
I'm in a murderous mind state with a heart full of terror
I see the devil in the mirror
Buck! Buck! Lights out
'Cause when I grab my sawed off, nikkas get hauled off
(Ha, ha! Barrel one) Tears your mothafukkin' flesh
(Yeah, barrel two) Tears your fukkin' heart out your chest
You see, I'm quick to let the hammer go click, on my Tec-9
So if you try to wreck mine, fool, it's your bedtime
Feel the blast from the chocolate bomber
Infrared aimed at your head like your name was Sarah Connor
Decapitation, I ain't hesitatin' to put you in the funeral home
Wit' a bullet in your dome
I'm hot like lava, you got a problem?
I got a problem solver and his name is Revolver
It's like a deadly game of freeze tag
I touch you with a .44 mag and you're frozen inside a body bag
Nobody iller, than this grave yard filler
Cap peeler, 'cause I'm a Natural Born Killa

[Verse 2: Ice Cube (Dr. Dre)]
Terror illustrates my era
Now I can't hang around my momma 'cause I scare her
I'm want to blast motherfukkers (yeah what's up?)
It feels like I'm bustin' a nut when I open you up
'Cause your body is exposed to the midnight mist
All weak motherfukkers give my ring a kiss
'Cause I'm givin' dirt naps
Comin' with them bomb-ass raps
To make your lungs collapse, perhaps
You never sleep 'cause every time you doze
You catch blows to the motherfukkin' nose
Ain't seen the sun, in 66 days
Let me count the ways in a fukked up maze
I never, ever, ever made a ho stay
But I'm down with Dre like AC is down with OJ
So fukk how you're livin'
I'm the unforgivin', psycho-driven murderer
It's authentic, don't panic
I can't stand it, goddamn it, schizophrenic
So fukk Charlie Manson!
I'll snatch him out of his truck
Hit 'em with a brick and I'm dancin'

[RBX]
Mass murderer, Natural Born Killa
And I don't wanna die
I DON'T WANNA DIE
I DON'T WANNA
I DON'T WANNAAAA... DIE!
[Verse 3: Ice Cube]
I don't understand the logic in my dreams
But I understand I like the sounds of sirens
Terrified screams from the streams of strychnine
Dumpin' on any mothafukker tryin' to trick mine
'Cause punk mothafukkers wanna violate
Now they stiff and cold, and they pupils won't dilate
It's so much pain, migraine, headache
I can hear his bones break
He steps in the single door
Get his ass whipped with 20 lashes like they do up in Singapore
So I'mma pull a fukkin' Jeffrey Dahmer
Now I'm suicidal, just like Nirvana

[Verse 4: Dr. Dre]
Tic Toc, Toc Tic Toc Tic
Dr. Dre and Ice Cube on some murderous shyt
Keepin' nikkas in order, makin' their lives shorter
Ready to slaughter
'Cause to me, a life ain't worth a quarter or a dime
Mushrooms got my mind, hallucinatin', ain't no debatin'
I'm creatin' an escape route to be out without a doubt
Scot-free, so don't even think about tryin' to stop me
'Cause I can't wait, I'm out the gate
On the for realer, a thrilla from a Natural Born Killa

NWA is one of the main reasons why today so many black males prioritize being "real nikkas"

And Ice Cube was the first once to leave NWA and embrace Public Enemy/ Bombsquad

"Real nikka" mentality crippled the creativity and uniqueness of black men @Wear My Dawg's Hat

Ice Cube finally admits that gangsta rap did more harm than good in the black male's image of the modern era.

This n-gga did a Seth Rollins like heel turn these past few years

its wild to see. Mr. i started this gangster shyt talking about the impact.

Encourage? Yes, it definitely does for the most part in that it makes it sound cool or like an every day thing. But again, Ice Cube is part of the problem.

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

@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.
Said it before in a different thread…

A few black men sold out the community to enrich themselves and their white bosses, and got the other Black men to buy into it.

Now that he’s a multimillionaire who provides a luxurious life for his wife and children and is far removed from the hood, he can talk about the dangers of the shyt HE helped promote to young Black men for years.

Didn't click the video. Based on the title, I don't think he's wrong, but I also think that he's compromised nowadays and so he gets a side-eye off top for race/politics talk nowadays

The useful idiots finally link up. I don't know how Ice Cube can claim to care about Black people and then go on to promote a man who intentionally targets Black people with lies and misinformation.

Part of what makes us human is our ability to feel emotions with the arts.

Some songs have a positive energy like Here Comes The Sun by the Beatles

Some have a chill energy like Let’s Get Blown

Drill is demonic & these kids are listening to it all day every day from a young age. Of course that shyt will influence them

I can understand arguing if music can influence someone to be violent or reckless( i think it can), but its sad that many of us are willing to defend bullshyt like drill, trap or any other subgenre that puts the worst of us in the spotlight, then turn around and say black lives matter.

Like we have so much talent, why is it we cant make other subject matter trendy?
