Thanks, friend.
In the grand scheme of things. Has Hip Hop helped or hurt the black community?

Look up the playlist Bars on AppleThe thing is. Honestly as far as mainstream rap goes. Nothing of substance has been spoken of in like 30s years
Last rapper to effectively use this talking point was Pac.
You’ll see mainstream artists with deep thoughts

Are people seriously answering in this thread? 
Yo we have this same exact thread 2 times a week across 2 sub forums and the same exact people come in and say the same exact shyt every. Single. Time.
Either y’all are sick or the NPCs in my simulation need to be rebooted.

Overall mostly positive.
In present day it has a thoroughly negative effect though with drill music, rapper labels that are used as money laundering fronts and in furtherance of criminal enterprises destroying neighborhoods, and a general lack of variety in content, and for many young men it’s been a dream to make it in rap or something to aspire to when that energy could be put into something more practical and productive.

Yeah in the 90s artists did their own shyt.
You think today record labels would let all those sex n girls moaning skits on an album lmao
I don’t consider drill music to be hip hop, so I don’t think actual hip hop has hurt us.

I said it in another thread the drill music coming out the Bronx is the most “hip-hop” shyt out…the closest to OG 70’s hip-hop and the elements if you really paying attention.
It’s definitely hip-hop even if you dislike the content.
As shytty as the music is every minute that these goons spend indoors focused on a task is a win for society.
The portion of the Black community that’s being hurt by records needs to get its priorities in order. Then it wouldn’t matter what musicians and entertainers were doing.

Does this same logic extend to youtubers making content that radicalizes incels to violence?
For the most part… hip hop drives fans to participate in hip hop: beat making, scratching record, rapping, writing, etc. Art generally leads to introspection. It is an outlet.
I’m not sure what watching YouTube videos leads to other than coming in the coli and making shytty threads. But yes… if incels were spending more time making content they’d have less time to plan mall shootings.
hurt. how is this even a debate?
It's a debate because people don't believe they can be in an abusive relationship with an art-form. Some people are convinced that they manage heroin addictions.
hurt. how is this even a debate?
It’s a debate because there are people who literally say that hip hop saved their lives.
And it’s a debate because every group of people listen to hip hop. Why are Black people the only group being ‘hurt’ by it?
