Pat Beverly blames Drill Music for influencing Ja

[Wildhundreds]

Who?

The people who aren't influenced by their environment.. Those people are called "role-models"..

I grew up in the middle of that shyt. Like a lot of other black people as well. Since you're black, why not ask another black person?. Seems like you need some uppity black person from the burbs who wasn't around the chaos to write about it.

What?

Listen I have relatives that were in this shyt. Swiss cheesed in Brooklyn and DC.

I was born in the middle of it. I get it.

The music? This nikka is a grown ass man. Lol

I mean the only people who talk about it are people who mock it. It’s as if it’s too tragic. Or conspiratorial.

It’s weird. Like there’s no definitive books on it that are reputable or documentaries that are foundational. It’s like black ethnography stopped or something. Then BLM starts and people wanna jump back in. I know the 90s talked about it but it was more adversarial and not academic.

It’s very strange.

Really? There are no major sociology books on the crack era? Crazy.

The first topic of all those black studies curriculum should've been the crack era.

Black scholars should invest that topic. Black society today, especially in urban spaces, is the kid of crack era.

Ironically, rappers are the one who said it in the most clear way.

You were born in the middle of it, but in a post above you said your mother moved you down south.

yep, it starts with parenting

May I ask what was the reason the murder rates in the 70's were so high yet rap wasn't even a thing mainstream yet.

You know since rap is the most terrible thing that is effecting our community if you let the coli tell it.

Why is the 70’s your only decade of reference? It’s clear the breakdown of society began in that decade.

Also although there wasn’t any mainstream hip-hop at that time that time period saw the release of the movies Scarface and Superfly which have been cited by countless hustlers and rappers as an inspiration. There’s a lot to it but media in all forms plays a factor in shaping attitudes and behaviors.

How about the violent rates of crime in the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s?

I mean think about it. We can find books on people’s struggles etc but it’s kinda lightly discussed. I’m sure there’s theses in obscure journals touching on aspects of it or marginal topics like criminal justice backlash. But the literal era itself just seems under investigated.

Let say, some people are less influenced than others. Yes, some are able to partly escape the 'conditioning'.

But it's impossible to totally escape your environment. It always leave a trace on you; the place you live, the people you be with, the music you listen to, the movies, etc. It leaves an imprint on you.

Fam. The entire reason I wasn’t born in those cities was the crack era. Can you read?

An anthropology of the black family unit and the changing values of crack and the glorification of negativity which is frowned upon other cultures, would cause a massive upset and exposure to people's flaws of praising negativity. That would probably be banned like CRT in the southern states.

Yes, there are sectorial analysis, but a comprehensive work on it seems to be lacking. Weird.

Cause 70-79 is more similar than 80-89.

What’s funny is that DuBois was funded to do his reconstruction work. Funny how that turned out.
