Jeezy exposes record labels for intentionally paying young, traumatized rappers millions to rap about killing each other,

[MicIsGod]

Kendrick gotten more street
Drake became a mob boss
Cole gun bars increased after linking up with ATL bruhs

Drake has a song called omertà claiming he’s involved in racketeering
I love a lot of this music but we can call it what it is.

It's not only wrong, but also deeply irresponsible to suggest that this is simply "supply & demand" in a vacuum with no context

This shyt is a business but every successful business has a plan and a strategy

Eventually every rap fan hits a crossroads where they decide to keep indulging the bullshyt or adjusting their tastes a bit. Whites with no cultural connection can toss it away entirely... Well, this shyt needs to keep growing to justify its existence so they need to keep creating new audiences...and we know what draws casuals in...

They aimed at women and gays in the last few years, and the results have been mixed...rap also stopped charting consistently this year... Ironic? Might be running low on ideas, and might have to adjust expectations of how much money is getting pumped into this shyt going forward...

That's why violent content thrives (for a mostly white audience), and why it's so difficult to point to non-stereotypical imagery of Black folks in America. It works, and it works because there's never been a concerted effort to do anything else, at best it's bad for business, at worst it undermines white supremacy and becomes an actual problem

White America is having it's own version of this issue with the current admin. Some of it is putting a mirror in people's faces, but a lot of it is them telling you what you should want to see and why.

Everything that we've come to accept as mainstream, is deeply intentional and always has been

We will all get the next example of what marketing dollars do. A.I songs are going number 1 now. Do we love ai music? Some may but not enough to go number 1. Nothing charts high like that without the label spending money on it. Whatever they spend money on is what will be “popular”
Marketing 101. They don’t care what we “like”

 

[Crumple]

Might get lost due to the messenger but 100% spot on.

Wise spit on this much more intelligently years ago.

I remember this video.

Wise is powerful and a well spoken intellectual.

Very direct, confident and influential in his speech.

 

[WIA20XX]

I grew up on The Geto Boys. Wasn't no powerful white labels telling Scarface to rap about being a drug kingpin. Not when I was buying them tapes in Soundwaves.

Most everything that got sold out the trunk was Black "creativity".
The stuff now, that's going straight to soundcloud/tiktok aren't "industry plants" or some evil j-wish cabal trying to make our boys into killers and our girls into whores.

They did this on they own, then.
They doing this on they own, now.

Middle and professional class black kids
Cops kids
Preacher's kids
Rapper's kids

All of em.

Sex and Violence sells. Always has, always will.

Just like salt and sugar.

All that stuff speaks to the real you.

There are those that learn to profit from it and those in denial.

 

[Bolzmark]

This conversation always irks me. Why are you blaming the record labels? Lyor Cohen don’t rap. Jimmy Iovine ain’t got bars. Our community creates this music and takes it to them for distribution. It’s almost like a crack dealer blaming the company that makes the vials for the harm caused by crack. And all of these rappers pushing it are not down with labels anyway!

People play basketball for free too. In hopes of one day making 100 million.

people play basketball for fun believe it or not

 

[tremonthustler1]

Ain’t this how he became a multi millionaire?

He was signing artists to thug corporately

 

[NormanConnors]

There’s always an excuse for the actions these nikkas chose to make or the content they chose to publish to the masses. Jay acting like we supposed to forget the “I’m not a rapper I’m a trapper that know how to rap” era.

Facts

 

[BK The Great]

Music doesn't have a actual message anymore. It's really mostly just noise. Why are artist so scared to make something like this? Seems like they just tied up to what labels letting them put out.

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

2 grifters.


Jeezy hired a man to go kill another rapper and got the hired killer killed.

The sheer audacity of this mafukka who spoke about pure poison to the youth.

 

[Mac Ten]

Jeezy ain’t lying…
Even he knows the power of music. His music had everyone using his ad libs in everyday life.

U can’t tell me that folks didn’t study the hell out of a Jeezy song

He was promoting entrepreneurship to YNs all over the world while speaking about the bad side.


Jeezy was like a hood version of Jay-Z.



I love Gucci but I would be lying if I didn’t say that he helped pioneer a bunch of drugged up crashouts in Hip Hop.

The internet is the new A&R

I know "Mr. 17.5" is not getting righteous after his career has fallen off. Get the FUK OUT OF HERE!!! This dumb azz nikka reminds me of former drug dealers/felons we knew in high school that become christian and want to preach to us about getting saved and living right. The crazy thing is, the ones they are preaching to have always lived legal lives, they are just projecting their own stupidity and mistakes onm others. Everyone wants to preach righteousness when they are no longer making money doing the wrong shyt. Fuk Jeezy.

I love Dead Prez but their music scared a lot of people(Not me though)….


Kids these days didn’t grow up back in the time period of where u had to think and people actually acted their age.

Society got dumbed down after 2005.

Budgets were getting cut and it was cheaper to get a Laffy Taffy beat made

I don’t even think that Jeezy cares about rap like that now…
Dude makes grown man Trap Music now.


He's not 30 anymore rapping about having the Yams at his Aunties House.

Dont front like u wasn’t singing the whole TM101 album like it was Christmas Carols.

“Guess who’s Bizzack, I still smell the Blow on my clothes, like Krispy Kreme I was cookin the Os, Like Horseshoes I was tossing the Os,Time to Re-Up, Gotta recycle the flow”

AFTER HE'S MADE HIS MONEY!!! That nikka is the same age as me. You don't think he knew in his 30s going into his 40s that his music was wrong? Stop making excuses for these guys. If you don't complain about the BS when you're on top and contributing to it, don't complain about it when you're not the hot artist. Simple as that. He could have made a difference when he was on top!! As for fronting, I assume you've never read my hip hop posts. I've never in my life bought or listened to a Jeezy album. I always thought this nikka was garbage. What happened is that I finally listened to his debut 2 years ago when guys from a podcast suggested I should hear it. I picked a day and listened to it and thought it was decent. Not my cup of tea, but it was good. But trust me, I NEVER listened to any Jeezy, Gucci, Future, etc... If you don't believe that, then you obviously have never read any of my posts . I was 28 years old when he dropped., Do you really believe I was out here listening to that???

Jeezy and Nas got the best evolutions in hip hop, 🫡. Grown men. The fact this is gonna be dispersed to peanut brained, forever 17 year old people who will hate it and attack him…for speaking non-ignorantly. Salute to Jeezy

Jeezy grew up….

Back then, he was unintentionally hilariously ignorant moments.That Trap or Die mixtape was full of them.

Ever since Big Meech came home, Jeezy been a grown man and taking a new route.

One thing that I liked about Jeezy was that he wasn’t a junkie.


Him and Yo Gotti told me as a kid to be sober while selling the work.

Gucci is my favorite rapper but he made an anthem for the trappers while using the dope. He said he was popping pills during the Chicken Talk era.
Pillz was an anthem in retrospect that he doesn’t feel proud of.

He lowkey created a bunch of junkies and crashouts.
