Lakeith Stanfield With A Message About Gangster Rap

[Music Fiend]

Correct.

You could even say hood ninjas are no different than WS.

This is one of the hugest things ppl need to stop getting fake mad about.

Nikkas so wuick to call a suburban breh who has friends from all walks of life and all shades, c00n. And its like the black men I know from areas where they didnt struggle in the same way as the street brehs are actually pretty pro-black on average. They just want to be around their ppl without the added bullshyt in our culture.

Yet the real c00ns are the ones who uphold the stereotypes IMO. Even though they understand the systemic shyt that makes it a reality. We gotta stop making it cool cuz even them nikkas would rather not be risking 2-25 for small bags.

Brehs push that shyt as fly and then wonder why TIs son imcomes from wild wealth but feel like he gotta be a street breh. Smh

Why yall digging through his past like this is Twitter? Do you disagree with his post or what?

When people can't refute an argument they tend to attack the character or appearance of the speaker.
Yes Lakeith is hypocritical but that doesn't mean what he says isn't valid.

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

Let’s also stop promoting black on black crime in movies

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

This like saying you can't be for Italian Americans and watch the sopranos.

Gangsta rap is not as harmful to black people as law enforcement arrest quotas, private prisons, or the sheer number of guns and drugs available on the street.

Gangsta rap is simply a sound track for goons to ride out to. Before they were bumping Dr. Dre, they would've been bumping old school rock and roll or bebop jazz before they started blasting. The music isn't the issue, the incentives to commit crimes and the lack of alternatives are the issue.

You're going to have limited success telling a teenager to work hard at school when he personally knows someone who is making 10k a month moving product (be it guns, drugs, stolen/knockoff goods or all three). In a society that continuously shyts on men that aren't making big money and promotes wealth at any cost, youll have a hard time convincing him to graduate, go into debt and accept the daily humiliation of the corporate world for a fraction of the money that he sees local gangstas making in a fortnight. American culture is a culture that celebrates and pushes violence as a solution to problems, and the pursuit of obscene amounts of wealth. This is bigger than rap. It always has been and always will be.

America is a country founded on theft, aggression, and selfish individualism. Gangsta rap is one of the most American forms of music there is. It's the kind of thing that could only emerge in this kind of social context.

just a few days ago SZA and Lakeith Stanfield put out a video where they play criminals running around shooting shyt.

"if you support gangsta rap you anti-black" looking ass.

Fake opportunist nikkas are all the same …fraudulent to their core

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

no problem with this.

But also call out on those who PROFIT off of it and have them fall back.

Nope! Ye tried to but he was…

He’s a c00n so yeah…

 

[8WON6]

If a disingenuous fukking hypocrite tells me drinking bleach will kill me should I not listen?

bad analogy. this is like somebody that thoroughly enjoyed hookers and orgies telling the next man to settle down and get married.

 

[Family Lives Matter]

Even worse analogy they probably know better than anybody that's a worthless pursuit with no real fulfilment at the end.

I prefer my one.

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

so.... is he gonna stop doing collabs with artists on one of the hardest "gangster rap" label around?

 

[8WON6]

Even worse analogy they probably know better than anybody that's a worthless pursuit with no real fulfilment at the end.

nah my analogy is spot on. Somebody out here enjoying hedonism then calling themselves lecturing people that haven't even been on that. That's what he's doing. He was out here making songs with "gangster" lyrics then got the nerve to tell other people about "supporting gangster rap is anti-black". He got to enjoy pretending to be a gangster in the booth, when other people listen to it they need to be checked. FOH

 

[Silver Surfer]

I listen to ignorant music and listened to it growing up but I have the wherewithal to determine what's real and fake and most people don't seem to be able to do that.

Not enough time make this comment irrelevant

 

[Rekkapryde]

Nope! Ye tried to but he was…

He’s a c00n so yeah…

If Ye wasn't c00nin then he'd have more support from us

But

Slavery was a choice
Maga
White Lives Matter
Floyd killed by Fentanyl

his c00n ass. But he wasn't lying about that aspect.

I'm not mad at Jewbrehs throwing him in the bushes. I'm more upset at non jews piling on when they didn't do shyt when Ye was c00ning against black people. Jews don't play that shyt., I respect it.

 

[Motife43]

I must quote my favorite rapper of all time:

They tryin to blame this rap shyt for all of our ills
Like I can stick you up with a mic
Like I can rape you with a verse or use a verb as a knife
Like before Kool Herc, everything was alright
Like y'all wasn't callin black women hoes befo' "Rappers Delight"



The music is easy to pinpoint. But we don't talk enough about individual responsibility, parenting and community. Whatever happened in that Takeoff situation could've easily been handled if nikkas let cooler heads prevail, I cant straight up blame rap music for it

 

[ColdSlither]

I listen to ignorant music and listened to it growing up but I have the wherewithal to determine what's real and fake and most people don't seem to be able to do that.

Years ago, like 1999-2001, I was out with my aunt in South Orange getting some pizza, and these white boys drive by, and they’re blasting Pac. White girl in the back singing along. I forget what I said, but it sent her on this whole philosophical debate. Might have been one of the last conversations I had with her. I’m paraphrasing, she said “for those white kids, rap is like looking into a keyhole to a different world. They’ll step through for a taste, adopt some of the fashion, slang, etc. But they’re still peaking through the shyt. After they’re done, they have all the various forms of rock, pop, country, whatever. They have options. But for us, it’s like our people don’t just look through that keyhole, but they adopt what they see as their identity. They have to be that thug, and embrace that lifestyle.” Now I’m not even close to saying it as eloquently as she had the talent for. It took some years for it to sink in, but she had a point.

When was the last time an Italian actor got pressed/criticized for not actually being in the mafia?

This argument makes no sense, italians arent pushing for actors to be authentic, unlike us who push for rappers to be real in their music.
