Jamaica bans music that glorifies drug use and violence

[thelonious21]

Do you live in the real world?

There was more crime before rap existed?


Are you a criminal?

And I'm willing to BET.. crime got worse since we stopped promoting groups like X clan and Krs 1

And Gangsta rap took over

It hasn’t. You think people commit crimes because of a rap song?

If that’s the case everyone on this forum would have a felony

popular culture is definitely fuelling criminality. the only thing being debated here is how to mitigate it. not if it's reality friend.

Every person that eats fast food isn't flabby and overweight, but the overall health of this country would be much better if these spots either did not exist or used healthy ingredients in the food

Lean addiction has already hit south Africa and the blame falls squarely on American hip hop. This shyt is a net negative. Just a few short years ago, pills used to be "white people shyt" now we got young brothers in inner cities across America abusing pills. We're supposed to ignore people like Future literally rapping "percocet, Molly percocet"

This true, I was gone off a pill the other week Rap definitely normalised that shyt.

U dumb summabytch are the fukking country singers glorifying the shyt?!?

Country singers? How is that not a dumb ass argument. Country singers dont live in projecrts. They live on farms. Country singers dont have the same stories to tell. So they tell their stories in other ways. But they do sings about drug abuse and murder. Yes. They sing about acohol abuse and depression, yes.
you just choose to criminalize OUR form of expressing addiction, depression, oppression, and abuse. When we make our music reflecting our reality and how we cope, YOU CRIMINALIZE it. And then will come on a black culture site, as a black person, and call another black man dumb because to YOU he dont act like a white man and they culture!
You a wild boy.

Yall nikkas fighting for the right to call your form of expression criminal and bad... For the white man. You are in a rap website celebrating the censorship of your art and expression.
They got us ALL fukked up.

 

[Brandsdale]

jamaica is a small island riddled with crime

this needed to be done long time ago before nikkas like Skillibeng

 

[StoneColdSteveAustin]

Crazy how you have to forcefully remove and ban this type of shyt from humans to get them away from it, lol…muhfukkas love negativity boy.

We're fighting for the right to continue churning out anti-Black music, content that literally cheers on the destruction of the Black community and further normalizes the wonton violence and death.

You're right, they do have us fukked up because we literally defend content that shyts on our community and doesn't benefit us in ANY meaningful way.

So banning rap music would fix poverty, inequality, lack or education and systemic racism

bruh. This site is literally what I been saying in that thread I made.

 

[Matt504]

That's not what he's suggesting at all. For example, banning fast food would not fix obesity, or poverty.

Rap music that centers around anti-Black themes is a net-negative. It is not healthy for a people to consume content that belittles, diminishes or degrades the consumer. That's the state of a lot of modern rap, not all rap but a lot of it.

It doesn't matter.

If the Jamaican government gives them certain rules to use for their country, they have to abide by the rules Jamaica gives them. Just like their relationship with China.
