NYC Mayor Adams not a fan of violent Hip Hop music

[havoc]

Violent rap music is not the CAUSE of violence within the black community. It is a symptom.

The symptom needs to be eradicated. I know some folks want to discuss the root of the problem. I think everyone knows why the kids delve into drill music. Gangbangers have polluted the HipHop culture with drill music by instigating real street war with the intention of demeaning their oppositions and send out threats. Drill music needs to be ban from social media because its adding more problems in our community that leads to death of our youth.

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

Yeah, cause that'll make a difference.

Let's not pretend the actual 'problem' is:

• A lack of positive male role models in the house
• The decline of traditional family structure
• Decrying the merits of academic achievement because that's "nerd shyt"
• Lack of generational wealth that leads to endless cycles of poverty

Yeah, it's the dangerous drill music affecting the community and not the lack of a sense of community in the first place.

Lol none of that is the actual problem.

The problem is structural racism and neoliberalism/late stage capitalism and how they are negative reinforcers of one another.

Saying the problem is Black people can’t raise families right and think academic achievement is nerdy is honestly slanderous anti-Black rhetoric and basically the same thing as every dumb dipshyt racist Rush Limbaugh listener has been saying for decades.

He should play Midnight Marauders every time he enters a room.

just the cal tjader aquarius instrumental

I'm not a fan of it either, if those guys want to make violent videos fantasizing about murdering Black men, they can do it all day long, that doesn't mean it should be platformed for widespread consumption.

After you start getting older, having life experience and having kids you realize Dr. Butts, C. Delores Tucker and them were 100% right.

 

[Take It In Blood]

Drill rap culture has no place in NYC.

That shyt is trash.

What he could do is ban the filming of such videos made in NYC grounds and fine artists who fail to comply.

 

[SupaDupaFresh]

I'm inclined to agree with him. He makes a damn good point on Trump getting pulled, but not all the other BS we see.

He makes no good point.

Trump had to incite a damn insurrection terrorist attack and attempted coup on the nation's capitol before social media finally took action.

Call me back when Drill fans are planning terrorist attacks on governments if we really gonna entertain this fallacy.

Mayor Adams is the biggest boot licking negro in politics. fukk what he has to say.

 

[Wild self]

Yeah, cause that'll make a difference.

Let's not pretend the actual 'problem' is:

• A lack of positive male role models in the house
• The decline of traditional family structure
• Decrying the merits of academic achievement because that's "nerd shyt"
• Lack of generational wealth that leads to endless cycles of poverty

Yeah, it's the dangerous drill music affecting the community and not the lack of a sense of community in the first place.

Maybe....its BOTH of those things

Ya nikkas swear ya be sounding smart

I wasn't trying to be smart.
Is there something stupid about keeping the same energy across all genres?

You're smart. Please explain

 

[get these nets]

Start with violence in rock, country and heavy metal music first.

Johnny Cash was singing about shooting people in the 1950s.

Ban that stuff then work your way to hip hop.
I’m sure the country will be fine with it. Right ?

Violence in music is violence in music. It shouldn’t only be addressed in hip hop.

What's the homicide rate in the town that Johnny Cash lived in 2020?

What is it in the cities where the drill artists are from in 2020?

Drill was birthed in Chicago. NY took Drill to shed its 'safe' image of being the ATL North from the 2008 to 2014 era, when Strip Club songs were the norm.

I don't know.
Is there any analysis that proves music causes violence?

Or are people just going to sit here and pretend correlation equals causation?

 

[Neuromancer]

You could say the same thing about "street nikkas" but then where would it end?

All rappers?
IG thots?
Nikka nerds?



Slippery slope, and at the end of it you still haven't solved the base issues.

Drill means just Drill I think. This doesn't have to be a "and then they came for me scenario

The 90s are back

Wake me up when he lobbies to ban mafia movies
