Kendrick Lamar denounces Molly in hip hop ..

[tirademode]

He says the reference is becoming overused and waters down the culture ..http://m.mtv.com/news/article.rbml?id=1707940&weburl=http%3a%2f%2fwww.mtv.com%2fnews%2farticles%2f1707940%2fkendrick-lamar-molly-hip-hop.jhtml&alt=http%3a%2f%2fm.mtv.com%2fnews%2findex.rbml&cid=300

This comes after he had the message "Death to Molly" pop up in the "bytch song kill my vibe" video .

Thoughts?

I actually find it strange that its that prominent in mainstream hip hop. Where I'm from that stuff was popularized and at its peak something like ten years ago.

S/O to Kendrick, celebrating being a fiend of chemicals is not another thing we need associated with young black males.
And promoting that shyt as if it was as harmless as weed to youngins is not a good look.

Get off the soapbox...

 

[Big Mel]

Does he denounce it in other aspects of life or just hip hop?

 

[MINT]

He is right !!!!

"Sometimes you have the trends that's not that cool," Lamar told MTV after his set at the Hangout Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama last weekend. "You may have certain artists portraying these trends and don't really have that lifestyle and then it gives off the wrong thing. And it becomes kinda corny after awhile. It's really about keeping hip-hop original and pushing away the corniness in it."

[Animal House]

[KEEPITTRILLA]

"molly's in the cabinet too"




but i agree its getting played out and half of these rappers probably havent even fukked with it

 

[DeuceZ]

dudes who almost 40 rapping bout molly

I wish everybody on both sides of this debate would stfu.

Nobody is using it as much as its being complained about or bragged about.

Its obvious, none of its proponents or detractors lived through the crack era or the E boom of the 90's and early 00's.

Rappers are lames and copycats. Dont let them raise your kids, regardless of their message or drug of choice.

Lastly, Marijuana and alcohol are drugs that are impacting our community on a far greater scale than molly ever could.

 

[T-K-G]

if you needed kendrick to say that shyt was wack for you to believe it then you're just as lame as the nikkas who jumped on the molly wave



anyone with an ounce of sense knew it was wack but let kendrick say it and nikkas act like it's some new concept

I have more and more respect for kendrick every day.

 

[SuburbanPimp]

I mean we all know the shyts harmful...

But I'm glad he doing it because to often in rap cats will use shyt like "Molly" "Swag" "Loud" as a crutch and everybody starts using it to make it seem like they down...

I not going at like he is a big hero and taking a big stand, but I give him props cause its not very often you see rappers going against what a majority of rappers are talking about and whats currently popular
