NYC is FULL of these types. And they're often the most "gangster" too.

You'll even find dudes with policemen in their family, but are heavy in the streets.

Poverty is not always the cause.

The one thing that every street nikka I know have in common, regardless of background, is that they grew up never being told "no". Either because they were spoiled or because no one was around or cared to do it. So they develop this strange lack of patience and empathy, which when combined with proximity to others in the same boat leads to involvement in illegal activity, if the opportunity presents itself.

That's why you'll have dudes who grow up in poverty and listen to the SAME music and see the same fukked up shyt, but are still well-adjusted individuals. Or rich cacs who sexually assault women in college and shyt.
I thought nikkas did it for p*ssy lol
I grew up in the hood but moved to the burbs before my pre teen years. I still did ratchet shyt because I wasn’t trying to be an oreo ass nikka. For me it was identity but I was never no g in the streets.

Who finna bump that?
2009 gave us kid cudi, wale, cool kids, b.o.b and other alt hip hop acts. You nikkas hated

And by the end of 2012, Chief Keef came in and doubled down on crime, ignorance, and violence with the rise of Drill Music. :francis:

So much for making young black men into openly intellectual people with 9 to 5 everyman problems.

Nah, you definitely have those types who do it for p*ssy or peer pressure. I was definitely one of them lol.

But look at the difference between you and me vs these other cats.

I NEVER went too far with it. I got into many fights, sometimes self-defense. And I did some general scumbag shyt.

But I knew not to take things past a certain level, unlike many of my friends, some of whom came from better backgrounds than I did.

And then consider that there are MANY who chose not to fall to peer pressure.

:snoop: look at all my stupid brehs in here...

I'm sorry but black people are finished I've concluded.

Got people shocked or appalled because that man family is actually decent. Feeling some type way because come to find out (as if that was necessary) his rhymes aren't authentic.

It's rhymes folks...it's entertainment. It's not supposed to be real!!!!

Yall must have never actually been around artists and athletes lol. Their just regular people, usually on the corny side. I mean fr fr CORNY. You can see it's just acting and entertainment.

nikkas in here talking bout he has a responsibilty....naw...his responsibility is to eat or be eaten. We prey on you weak minded, dummies who don't have the intellect to understand a basic law: eat or be eaten. Make money or someone will use you to make money.
This post completely missed the point. People's problem with him is that he promotes fukkshyt despite knowing better.

Sociopaths like you are part of the problem because you support "praying on the weak minded". You support these rappers leading black kids astray and doing white supremacists' dirty work in the name of making money.

I don't use this word much, but you are legitimately a c00n.

All rappers don’t have to come from broken homes with drug addict parents living in the projects who are forced to sell drugs or join gangs :mjlol:

And yet when someone like Pac comes along who ticks all of the hood boxes whilst simultaneously being socially conscious and intellectual people trot out "Hennessy and Enemies" instead. What do you have to do to not be hated when it comes to spitting darts and pushing the pen? Andre 3000 with a banana clip?

I've said before that the genre is very destructive with its genocide rhymes over dope beats and a corrosive influence but I didn't see that back when as I embraced the nihilism but now when I look at it its obviously entertainment as a weapon. Crazy thing is I still have mad respect for the artform itself because making something from nothing using samples and rhyming is the essence of a people downtrodden seeking a way to spread game and uplift that was swiftly flipped to kill that spirit via emphasizing the worst in order to keep cells filled as tills ring from people by name brand things sold by people who don't F with them.

The levels are insane and its too well orchestrated to be a coincidence, if you believe in such things (which I don't) because since going mainstream and especially from the mid 90s onwards its became more and more one dimensional. And yet its the defacto culture that runs the planet.

I still say that had Dead Prez ushered in that revolutionary but gangsta wave back when the landscape would be totally different today.

This is very similar to my cousin although they moved when he was like 13 (his dad is a very successful mortgage broker & his mum is a nurse).

But he was a big steppa tho. Even now that he’s super calm & very successful in his own right - the beast still comes out any time he needs to unleash it. He’s one of the few people I know I’m good whenever I’m around him anywhere.

Nah bro im not gonna buy this shyt. Even tho i fukked with gangsta rap and all that as a youngin i never denied its negative impact cuz i literally SAW IT. You can say its only entertainment becuz you now an adult, probably with a degree and a regular job.

But can you say that to the folks STARVING in the hood, looking for a way out with a lack of education that its just entertainment when it affects not only them but people around their way? Especially if you not really living that life. While they out there strugglin for a meal and a future, you rappin like you live it but live comfortably in the burbs and only acting infront of the camera as long as it benefits you.

Please dont go to the "blame the parents" thing either.
The bolded is the entire point: those people are made to be FOOD in this society. Because they can't realize the system we live in and adjust, they are made to fill our prisons, work our less desirable jobs, and buy our products.

The society we live in is a artificial replica of nature: the strong and smart survive or thrive. The people influenced by rap to live degenerate life are the weak.
