NYC Mayor Adams not a fan of violent Hip Hop music

[Matt504]

It's not about defending it. It's trash. I'd delete it's existence from the earth in an instant. But that's because it's trash with no artistic merit. Not because I have any belief it'll make a dent in violence in the black community. NYC was a hell hole during the funk and soul of the 70s. For an elected official to make that non-existent correlation is troubling at the very least.

But I hope he succeeds. Cause it's trash.


Hopefully he can ban the music in @ISO's playlist next

No one, including Mayor Adams, is claiming that banning drill music will eradicate crime, that's a strawman argument that always surfaces in threads like these. The music is literally celebrating the deaths of Black men and that alone is reason enough for it to be banned.

When did he make this correlation? Y’all stay making logical fallacies

Oh and my playlist better than yours

All because he dared to speak on an "art form" these guys are in an abusive relationship with. Dudes out here driving around listening to Black men rap about murdering Black men, but somehow the brother who wants to deplatform these "artists" is the c00n.

There's a lot of mental illness in the community

Again, I wouldn't blink twice if it was eradicated. If the bolded is his angle, that the content is simply inappropriate and it should removed, fair enough.

Not everyone can be saved my brother. I accepted this a long time ago. The moment YG rapped about hitting a lick on some Asians, he was deplatformed. Wake up black men.

Slope ain’t slippery at all

Movies are movies shyt is fake straight up fiction or historical reenactment…actors…not real

Drill is known gang members speaking on known gang beefs talking about real murders and dishing out real threats

Facts

Finally a mayor with balls to say this


These democratic mayors of large black cities are too p*ssy to say this. Hopefully others can follow his lead

nikkas in this thread flat out lying. Lol. shyt crazy. Anybody who really outside know what’s been going on and how it was going to boil over since the pandemic. nikkas blaming some fukkin music bout to have a BIG wake up call. Majority of these drill rappers ain’t drilled shyt in they life and not even movin like that in real life. When u take away the music and nikkas is still dying at an alarming rate. What we gonna blame next?

Exactly Adams doesn't get it... That whole 1992 Calvin Butts approach isn't gonna work.. You eliminate Drill Rap and You STILL gonna have the same exact problems because they been existing in our community before hip hop even existed.

That goof tryna bring back stop n frisk and as a victim of that racist ass shyt on a PERSONAL level fukk that nikka. On top of that. U a hypocrite ass nikka. Any nikka who frequent The Booth enough know what I’m sayin. U was literally one of the main ones promoting these drill nikkas.

 

[Bondye Vodou]

And you got brothers calling this shyt "gym music". They're in gyms lifting weights, motivated by the energy of rappers talking about murdering Black men. This shyt borders on mental illness.

Not even Black men but Black kids, some of them are 14,15,16 year-olds.

The Bootlickers are the black folks that allow the Joos to bend them over and exploit them through these terrible media depictions.

Who is going to hire a rapper that is on videos dissing opps and dissing the dead with sometimes real guns in the video

You gotta worry about your place of business getting shot at because a drill rapper is on social media telling the opps to suck his dikk with his location on

These kids are sabotaging their lives before they can even start it..

Maybe he isn't going it the right way, but you gotta figure out how to stop these kids from destroying their job/life prospects before they reach 18

Are you in favor of eliminating drill rap AND deploying other measures to reduce crime?

They already ban books on the regular

Lol craziest thing is not only are the books being pulled and banned non violent, people as a whole don’t even really read anymore.
