It’s only entertainment.

My wife laughed at me when I when I said Jeezy had half of my area in jail because of selling crack. nikkas who would NEVER sell drugs was selling drugs because I used to hit to kitchen lights, cockroaches everywhere, now I hit kitchen lights, marvel floors everywhere.

It's clear as day the type of media you consume has an influence on you. Anyone denying that is beyond saving.

Bloods and crips in Europe and Africa now for crying out loud
Exactly. I seen my cousins in Africa saying nikka more than me with no understanding really had me like wow in the early 2000s. But hip hop had a hold on everyone and still do.

The issue I have with the criticisms about rap is that it’s always surface level. If a Facebook employee does some dirtball shyt, people will start rioting on social media and call Mark Zuckerberg all kinds of cuckolds. Where exactly is that level of accountability for these white corporate CEOs that make Black Death their business model? y’all stay locking the prostitutes and never the pimps who find more prostitutes to exploit

Most carribean and african kids in NYC was like that

They weren't poor but let they family down by trying to be in the streets
So you saying most ADOS were the nerds and good kids huh? Loser.

In one breath you argue that Hip/Hop is ADOS culture then when people say that Hip Hop is a negative influence then all of a sudden its the Africans and Carribeans fault.

You sound like a white female, making up lies so that you can be seen as a perpetual victim. No accountability.

Take that low self esteem diaspora war shiit somewhere else.

Not sure where he was going with that tbh. Most black immigrants that came here (brooklyn) in the 70s and 80s/90s where for the most part from the Caribbean not Africa. Secondly the overwhelming majority were poor af. Living side by side with poor Ados in Brownsville, East New York, Bed Stuy, Bushwick, the projects throughout the borough. The only real Caribbean neighborhoods like that back then were Flatbush, East Flatbush, and Crown Heights. All poor areas overall back then. Middle class black neighborhoods in Brooklyn were virtually non existent until like the mid 90s.


Nah y'all was barely there back than all those areas were always tradu

Rap music has literally become intertwined with the black man's identity. We get our cues on how to walk, talk, dress, interact with woman and our overall attitude and behavior from rap music.

Rap music is something that we have to DEFEND our kids from. Rap is AIMED directly at the kids who have little to no positive role models in their lives. Even if you ARE in your kids life and trying to raise a well-mannered, respectful young man....he can still be influenced by it because it's so popular worldwide and also peer pressure exists. You're expected to act a certain way if you're a black male.

Rap music is literally designed to groom young black males for death or the prison system:


The people who run the hip-hop industry HATE black people and would never showcase that same damaging image of themselves to their own people. They value their youth and their own image.

Rap music is one of the most effective tools in the arsenal of systemic oppression.

It's a mental and spiritual poison.
People say that music has a big part in how you act and how you see the world and you and @Matt504 been saying it and I got to agree.

I'm a house/techno producer and DJ and that's pretty much the majority of what I listen to besides hip hop and that's what I grew up on.

It saddens me how the majority of music that is marketed towards black men is just incredibly violent, nihilistic, or just promotes a hateful mentality towards other Black people.

Or if it's marketed towards black women it's just incredibly sexual.

Making us think that this is all we are. And I know we are not! I know we are more than this!!!!
That's what frustrates me!
Black people created all of this revolutionary and innovative music...but somehow we just reduced to Rap and R&B.

Loser. Your exact quote “Most carribean and african kids in NYC was like that”.

Anyway, I ain’t replying to you anymore, I don’t respect males who think like victims.
