"If all you listen to is ignorant trap shyt, you [become] an ignorant trap nikka" - Joey Badass

[Gizza]

Eh nature vs nurture. It not the movie,music,video games that plays a factor. Not talkin to you cacs or suburbanites. Most of us grew up in the hood played gta, listened to gangsta rap,etc. Obviously we're all not felons. The crash test dummies usually were mentally ill,emotionally damaged, parents didn't parent or used drugs while pregnant etc.
No amount of mystic stylez gonna have me pull out a cap gun to bb gun steel replica .40 S&W to 9's,10's & 7.62's on anyone. :JadaWHY:Once you understand the bold, you'll see my point.

That's why I only listen to the Jacka, cookie money, Aone and Rich the Factor...

R.I.P. Jacka

This is kind of the problem I have with his latest album.

He has some basic social commentary and acts like its something profound....but scratching the surface at best.

He'll get cosigned because there's a "message" but it's neither profound nor deep. Like, you don't have to listen to his album or watch this interview to figure this out

Breh when I saw this nikka standing on a football field with fireworks going off in the background on some inspirational teenshyt, I knew I was done with him....

 

[Guvnor]

Not at all. I listen to mutiple genres and rap subgenres.
Stan a lame brehs

Trap is to keep you trapped.

Fill your brain with mindless references on drug dealing, violence, and how fly your are, all the while perpetuating the prison industrial complex and wasting your money on fukk shyt instead of establishing real ownership brehs Don't look at the bigger picture brehs and keep the current system of oppression going.

This is one of the laziest criticisms of all time. Dudes who co-sign are often too lazy to look/read arguments studying the variables as to why poor people do what they do. How do dumbasses like Joey Badass explain cities in latin america where there is no hip-hop equivalent being in even worse conditions than American cities? What does the South Bronx and Guatemala City have in common....trap music or poverty?

Poor argument because the music will only poison them and now not only will the be broke but they will be broke and in jail or broke and focused on spending all their money on designer instead of working to better their lives. We got to restore the balance in hiphop.

If you let movies and music influence you negatively in real life then you're sheep

/thread
You autistic brehs and cacs really think we some dumb fukks cause we get turnt as if we don't got responsibilities and can't rationalize neither. The irony of you clowns. Go listen to logic or that lame joey and stay out the coli fags

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

this reminds me of Nas circa 02 when he found a new lane to play as some beacon of positivity and integrity after the Jigga beef...accept Nas is light years more talented

Nobody likes a whiner. You're in the game so make a way. You're not going get the p*ssy by telling her all the things her boyfriend does when she's not around. His music is dreary and void of personality. For the most part that Smiff N Wesson stuff wasn't getting played around the clock back then so why would it now?

OK dis real

I say the music is retarded and can make you a remedial thinker if you listen to it too much.

As far as the actions. Weak minded people are effected by anything. I'd say it's a small percentage is acting it out these things.

I grew up listening to NWA, Get Boys, etc. But then again they were dropping knowledge the same time while talking about the streets.

 

[1thouwow]

Yes, and that's the point of this thread. Catch up.

nikka what do u think I was inputting in this thread?

I got news for you, many people are sheep Also you could say it doesn't influence you but that's not how your brain works.

 

[Guvnor]

you might be autistic breh

Did I hit a nerve Look at you emotional and name calling cause you do not have a mature response.

 

[Sindicated]

The fukk he go to college for if he's selling cars?

I don't necessarily rock with all the views of Loury, Darity, or Hart but they are much better at articulating the situation poor Black people find themselves in than these new "conscious" rappers. Not just some simple tropes or hotep lite analysis.
