He'll be successful getting the venues and radio stations on board. The DJs might be a mixed bag. I got little faith the streaming companies will do much to ban this but it wouldn't shock me if they get the Feds involved. The demo that loves this will always be a step or two ahead, there are too many avenues to distribute music.

If anything rappers might start covering their faces like they do in England.

Mayor Adams being fairly obvious about what's about to go down. He's been asking for tougher bail laws, he's been fighting with the state about ways to fight the increases in gun crimes. It's a slow build up, the police unions and NYPD have been calm about this too.

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?

This.

This is the after effects of a whole bunch of things. We have a lost generation in a few spots in the Tri-State.

I get people like the tough approach but the murder of Junior in the BX, the girl being stomped in broad daylight in Crown Heights, and the retaliation killing in that case says we got a much larger issue.

Brothers coming together to protect their ability to make art about murdering Black men. It's hard to even describe how disgusting and pitiful this is.

They haven't even discussed anything yet.. And its possible that after the discussion they might adjust the messaging in the music..

This meeting was prompted by mayor Adams' comments about working with social media companies to deplatform drill rap. These guys are fighting to protect their ability to make anti Black art

No, I'm not because it's usually some bullshyt like this



Worthless meeting. Gang members will respond as gang members when they see a rival. Dude use Denzel as an example but forgot that Denzel doesn’t work as a real cop with a past of corruption. This idiot doesn’t realize that he is a real gang member shouting out killing the opps on record.

I won't even give him the benefit of ignorance, he's just saying whatever he believes will protect his bottom line.

Well if the mayor holds his stance, then the artist have to adjust.. People who run businesses have to adjust to new rules and regulations all the time.. These dudes aren't exempt to the same issues everyone else faces. Im just glad to see that the mayor is giving them an opportunity to voice their stance before moving forward..

what regulations can the mayor put forth? He cant regulate whats said on songs. he can ask that youtube and IG flag certain content but he can not control that. you dont need a permit to record somthing and put on IG. there will always be another platform for them to use

People find ways to hold people accountable.. Sandy Hook families just received $73 million settlement because Remington arms was accused of advertising to mentally disturbed buyers..
But that was for precious white kids though. Nobody gives a shyt about nikkas, so i guess this will go nowhere.
