Above the fray.
I literally made these points a while back on here and dudes jumped down my throat.


Pure dysfunction peddled to our community so that a few Black men could become rich and famous and record labels could make multi-billions.

Dudes take it personal if you speak the truth about how this shyt has affected the community.

Lmao at all the hiphop artists who got rich living amongst whites and putting their kids in gated communities and white schools and PWIs. It is hilarious.

Yall’s elders were right. Now here we are, decades later.

Future was rapping about lean even though he admitted he stopped it years back because of its detrimental effects, etc.

Kid Cudi noooooow swinging back to tell kids to stay away from drugs after he’s pretty much exited the most influential phase of his career. How many kids did he influence ten+ years ago tho when he was out his mind???!

This is the shyt that’s been sold to Black youth and it started decades ago.

Ice Cube admitting what was known yeeeeeears ago.



Again, here we are.
Good that you stood on your square.

I always say that unless I unintentionally offend someone or am proven wrong, will stand on my takes/stances.

Cube himself conceding that previous criticisms of his brand of hiphop were right and valid deflates any of the deflections and juelzes that you encountered in those discussions. Never take MFers here seriously when they consistently avoid admitting being proven wrong. That's the signal to ignore list them.

I'm not tryna hear that...these MUTHAfukkAS got teachers and educators....and all black kids have access to education to see those that look like them daily, that aren't career criminals...even if you come from a fukked up environment your school teacher is proof you ain't gotta live like that.

We are too comfortable making excuses and excusing behavior.

Art is art and sometimes it's fiction and sometimes it isn't. That take intelligence to know the difference.

I got gangbangers all up in my family, and guess who didn't become one? My fat black crippled ass...you know why?

Playing dodgeball with bullets and being harassed by cops daily ain't fun. Seeing a chain-gang from Angola ain't fun.

But then again I had an IQ of 120 so I'm not a dumbass lmao...I can't speak on them other muthafukkas
So you admit the majority of your family are into gang banging with you as the exception, yet you're arguing AGAINST it's influence?

Yes, I am arguing against it's influence and most of them family members weren't educated nor got good grades in school. They were not that smart to begin with.

There is a correlation with intelligence and criminality.

Facts..

People hate Dr Umar because of the lies about the school but he is a 100% right that hip hop in its 50 years have done nothing for the black community but exploit it just like corporations for its own profit

These guys be in videos and on they songs talking about “ everything i rap about is about the hood, im in the hood every day, im feeding nikkas in the hood, there’s no snitching in the hood, etc etc”

But once these nikkas are not on camera or making music, they are 30 minutes away the hood with their girlfriends and wives and kids in private school and telling they kids “ you know u get your education and get you a good job and be something “

But meanwhile they telling kids in the hood to stay gangster and hood

Which is why you need to be intelligent to understand fantasy and reality plus consequences of actions.

If every kid in the hood knew about chain gangs, that would curtail a lot of folk behavior

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.



How is the problem because he got older,wiser and being honest:gucci:


Meanwhile yall are being dishonest by acting like Cube didnt explore all sides and cover the pitfalls of criminality in his music:respect:

It probably does encourage some of it

:hubie:

But to directly link it like that is ridiculous.

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



Sounds like yall want the goat to lie in order to protect hiphop. Acknowledging it encourages it doesnt mean thats all it does. Or that its directly responsible for all the criminality committed by hiphop fans.


Its far less egregious to acknowledge its bad influence,then to lie and act like it has none:respect:
