NYC Mayor Adams not a fan of violent Hip Hop music

[BK The Great]

Regular hip hop has some poison but drill rap and regular rap aint the same thing.

There's a lot of poison in regular hip hop. It's no different than the drill shyt.

We all know plenty of men who leave the poverty areas you just mentioned to well off suburbs and do the same shyt.. Its men in the suburbs with resources who do this shyt as well. Everyone knows this.. Even the perpetrators of these crimes even acknowledge this is more to do with generational beefs and lack of family/community structure than poverty.

That poverty angle is more of a political pawn used to ear mark money for violence prevention programs and social pet projects that white people profit off of
.

So you know a bunch of millionaire kids out there getting in shootouts in the streets?

Not about coming up from and escaping it really. It's about snuffing it out so nobody has to escape it in the first place. If you grew up exposed to it then it possibly already got its hooks into you.

If you need millions to stop killing someone then theirs no hope for those people because they'll never have it.. These perpetrators of a majority of these crimes have major sociological and insecurity issues. Everyone has been called broke, but a lot of these dudes get offended by that and will come and kill you over that shyt.. It was a post the other day about a boy who shot a 12 year old over being teased about a break up with his girlfriend.. Thats insecurity not poverty..

Money in your pockets will not stop a large number of these crimes.. And im not even saying these individuals don't deserve to have money.. Im saying if you think money will fix this, you're sadly mistaken. Their minds are too far gone..

We pay for it now.. But this shyt went hard.

"We?" Always with the hyperbole.

@The Butcher you're a trash take

Your name is literally Black Trash! fukk all the way out of here and take funky ass friends too.


We're having a discussion about black folks, freedom of speech/expression, crime, and other serious topics and you're chipped in cause folks you deemed unworthy are getting paid?

Why didn’t older Black men like Eric Adams create businesses and group economic opportunities for the young impoverished youth in their cities gravitating towards living out drill rap?

Ohhh hes that guy. The harden conservative who criticizes the youth but doesnt add outlets that reverse the cycle.

also rich coming from a former pig whose dept is reeped with corruption, racist/classist policies, aimless objectives, etc yet doesnt address that in the same manner and fervor.


Got it.

Adams is not a conservative. Adams is trying to extend school and wants to expand youth summer job opportunities.

Adams worked to uncover corruption by starting the 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement program and he was under surveillance by NYPD.

These talks never go anywhere because of shyt like this—assumptions and generalizations talking about critical issues in black and white absolutes.

 

[I'm Blackman]

There's an attitude in most threads like this that until the root problem is addressed, doing anything else is a waste of time. We can make it impossible to monetize the deaths or pending deaths of Black people and simultaneously work on addressing the root problems right?

This "all or nothing" rhetoric is lazy and transparent.

Eric Adams is the best candidate to run for president the democrats might have, IMO

I don't share his politics, but the guy is cutting through in a way we need to pay attention to.
