Let me kick the only jewel you need to know about the music industry: the only rules revolve around following the market and making as much as money as you can. This idea that dudes are sitting around the offices wondering "how can we destroy the black man" is ridiculous.

NWA was Dre's idea. He changed his image and adopted the gangster shyt because it was clear that shyt was beginning to get hot in Cali. He got the biggest gangster he knew (Easy) and the rest is history. What exec would turn down a dope as group as NWA? Of course they got signed, of course they blew up - they were hot.

Here's what happened next: everyone wanted their own NWA. The music industry is all about copying success. One guy or group comes up with an idea ("let's sign NWA") and then everyone else wants their own [insert artist]. Remember when Kanye blew and then all of a sudden everyone was trying to sign their own conscious mainstream rapper? Lupe gets signed, Rhymefest gets a shot, later Kid Cudi shows up, etc. That's how the industry works and always will work.

I've been in meetings and watched loser A&Rs do presentations about the next Eminem, the next 50, etc. There is no originality, nor is the head exec sitting around saying "but how can we sell the youth alcohol and drugs with this artist?" There is no conspiracy outside of the free market, brehs.

I dont think NWA knew what was going to happen and they were the real last conscious effort. After them is when industry and the images really went down hill starting with Death Row.

Yeah the music business is all about profit. But there are demonic people behind the curtain pushing the needle of self destruction into the veins of black zombies.

The way I look at it: if self love and positive shyt was more profitable, record labels would willingly push that stuff instead of negative shyt. People have always listened to music to dance or party. Go back to each decade and the biggest songs were always about having fun, being in love, being heartbroken, or being cool. Universal principles. Yea there was a time when Public Enemy sold well. But even the rap charts at that time were largely dominated by party or flexing songs. That's why Run DMC was way more popular.

Look at the country charts. Bunch of songs about drinking, driving trucks (product placement), partying, being in love, etc.

One thing I think you guys are right about: radio conditions people to like certain sounds. One Mustard song becomes a hit, right. Then 10 others become hits, after the first one has been spun nonstop. Hip hop's sound always going in cycles where it's rehashed over and over until something new takes over. Right now "turn up" dominates. Kendrick released an album with none of that shyt on it, and some people hate it because it doesn't sound like every other song on the radio. Yet if Kendrick came out with a new, more appealing sound and Interscope pushed the button...they could flip it. All of a sudden Kendrick's sound would be called fresh, new, etc...and soon everyone would try to replicate it.

It's all about money.

the tri-state
1)For arguments sake, lets say this rap music has a significant negative impact on the black community . If that's the case, I liken these white music execs to drug dealers.

2) 400 years of abominable racial history in this country has made us paranoid. Anytime we see a white person involved in any way where there may be some negative impact on blacks, we think its part of some master white supremacist plan.

3)what I see for the most part in 2015 is white men following the #1 American ideology which is GET RICH.


1)funny you mention that when the g-men loaded up all they planes wit goodies for the last sixty years

2) 400 years? its actually longer than that

3) what is americas #2 ideaology?

cant agree with you apologetic stance

And I can't agree with your I'm the victim, the white man is out to get me stance. And what the hell am I apologizing for? Saying that NWA was put out for the purpose of destroying the black community is foolishness. That was Dr. Dre's baby. These dudes was rappin about stuff that was and is going on. And the speaker behind that video, TOTALLY IGNORED the "We In The Same Gang" song. Didn't fit his message, so he left that out. I hate the 400 years, or more, of oppression we have been through as well. But I'm not about to live a life of paranoia. I'm not about to start acting like blacks as a whole are brainless robots that design their lives based off of rap music. I've seen this hip hop sh!t from the beginning and I know what it's about. From day 1 dudes rapped about their environment. To say NWA was the product of some grand conspiracy is just dumb.

interesting, but NWA was there to start poisoning us, true, the real poison came in with DEATH ROW records, all the positivity was gone by then, but NWA played their part in that negativity, the execs signed them to do so. Yeah they did some good, but it was mostly bad. Even rapist, pedos, killers and so forth do SOME good SOMEtime, that is just human nature, but that doesn't excuse the negativity they do.


If your gonna go down the path of your stance,don't single out NWA,Flavor Flav is the biggest c00n ever in hip-hop,a retard with a clock around his neck!!!!!! bottom line is, as Hip-Hop grew so did the demonic nature of what it did not stand for,at the time gangsta rap was THE CNN OF THE STREETS, but what it became is a tool for money through exploitation at the benefit not of the subject matter but to the subjectors!!!! Believe me America was not ready for T-Shirts with F The Police,and Hair Triggers with Cops on them,but as time went on so did the Elite's plans......................

I disagree. NWA was not "created" to go against the messages put forth by "Self Destruction". It was young black men giving you the raw truth about what was going on in their part of America. And the white owned record labels saw they had a following and knew they could make money off of it. But it was not some grand scheme to divert the masses attention away from the Self Destruction message. Different people have different life experiences. That's why we have everything from DMX to the Fresh Prince. Oh and don't forget:


Yep! NWA was selling records from word of mouth. They was big with no radio play. Do you!know how hard that was?:gladbron:

I think the records after the first one was a play to hurt us though? It wasn't just NWA, and was happening before their following albums, but everyone agrees nwa was on some next shyt with nikkaz4life.
