Black people really need to start taking their media presence seriously. shyt is straight embarrassing.
Unfortunately, the black people involved in this type of behavior view themselves as at odds with the rest of the community.
They could never fathom doing something (or NOT) to the benefit of the group as a whole.
Didn't take long. I got something to offer him. Go to school. Don't end up dead or in prison by your 20s.You're leaving out the part where The USA was built on capitalism, and capitalism has nothing to do with morals and Hip Hop has been promoting capitalism for decades. We watched rappers rap about killing Black people and selling dope in their own communities all while we supported it by buying the music and defending it online. And doing so threw that "benefit of the group" argument out the window.
And lets be real here. You're talking this "benefit of the group" stuff but if this little kid can make money promoting a negative image and you yourself can't offer no real alternative for this lil kid to make a lot of money then everything u say is null and void because what that lil kid is currently doing is bringing in money while you have absolutly nothing to offer him.

Defending this in any way shape or form is pure scumbaggeryI'm 100% positive that little man is already in school so that's not saying anything. Telling him to go to school isn't putting money in his pockets this very second. Emulating what rappers have been doing for decades is putting money in his pockets so you have no real alternative for this young man to put money in his pockets right now.

i see what youre saying... but a kid at that age shouldnt have to worry about money. thats his parents job.But I wasn't defending it. You are totally missing the point. I was pointing out that talking that "benefit of the group" stuff means absolutely nothing if someone is making money doing something that's considered negative but you yourself can't offer them an alternative to make money. That's a whole FACT. Both of your responses come off as if you didn't even read what I actually wrote.
