I don't need to get detailed because it's useless. The idea that the music business is run without any influence from the corporations funding and distributing the music is stupid TBH (no disrespect).

Once Hip-Hop became a commodity, it failed under the influence of corporations injecting the money. The decision they made, the choices they made had an influence on the trajectory of he genre. What you call culture is ALSO a byproduct of corporate choices and rationality. Culture does not escape capital. That's the point you don't see.

The simple influence of radio after the Communication act has been discussed largely on this very site. Radio controlled by corporations. That's only one example.

You give too much influence to 'the street' with a very romantic vision of music production and consumption.

What Hip-Hop became is the result of complex myriad of actions and reactions from the 'street', the corporations and the consumers. Erasing the influence of the laters only leads to a misunderstanding about the real nature of what drive Hip-Hop.

Modern Hip-Hop has many fathers.
Hence pointless argument.

He seemed rather diplomatic.
The other option was to take the BAIT and start a race war.

I salute him for that.

But if you say anything you "just can't accept that music changes and evolves".

It is possible for things to devolve, which is what's happened with hip hop. Given how trash his music is, I wouldn't expect him to be saying anything enlightening but that people really idolize this clown, or Kodak Black or Pooh Sheisty or King Von, etc. is a clear indication of just how much has been lost. I've tried, but I don't see a way out on a mass scale. It would have to take some kind of mass awakening to break the dysfunction but it just gets worse and worse, so that likelihood is remote.

There are several quotes and soundbites of John Gotti calling us everything from "n*****s" to "moulignons" and like other posters mentioned he paid off nazis to kill an black inmate who beat John's head in...

I can't...just can't.
:snoop:

I've literally heard the grown ass children of these people say that they sold drugs in black neighborhoods when I lived in Pittsburgh years ago. How the fukk could you idolize these racist thugs?

:wtf:
Also ask Irv Gotti, who still goes by......Irv Gotti. lol
