Pat Beverly blames Drill Music for influencing Ja

[melraH]

Its not the music its the clout, music was just as violent in the 90's.
Social media got these youngin's bugging out. people got so many ways to communicate its fukking up their social skills don't even know how to cold approach a chick. FB,Insta, Snap chat, Tik Tok ,only fans is the Devil.

Hold up ain't Pat Beverly said that if he wasn't a NBA Player he would be the biggest Drug Dealer.

'It's either hoop or you sell dope': Patrick Beverley never forgets his humble beginnings

What the LA Clippers guard experienced growing up in Chicago turned him into the player he is today. But it easily could've taken him down a darker path.

When asked to consider what his life would be without professional sports, the Clippers guard doesn't hesitate: "I probably would've been the best drug dealer in the world."

"[My grandmother] couldn't tell me how to be a man, neither did my mother," Beverley said. "My grandmother used to tell me things like, 'You should watch Italian movies, watch all The Godfathers.'

"I never understood that until recently, she's like, 'Yeah, I didn't know how to tell you then but family is everything. Being the man of the household is everything.' So they kind of molded me to be this little baby gangster before I was me."

Patrick also would observe the drug-peddling boyfriends his mother dated for their protection.

dude literally blames his parents (mother and grandmother) and movies for wanting to be a drug dealer. but you have people on the coli saying only rap influences.

If rap didn't exist he still would have been on that shyt.

If you let music tell you what to do then your kinda slow.

Not every black person wants shoot the hood up because of lil durk

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

Yall nggas are pathetic

The difference—-obviously—-is bron is damn near 40. Also the difference between the music now vs then is there is now more of a street prerequisite and that you live out your rhymes. Nggas back then were around killers and thugs. Nggas now ARE killers and thugs. Labels were secretly backed by gangs. Now the labels ARE the gang.

Then you throw in social media pressure as a multiplier.

funny thing about that crock of shyt that US society was more criminal "back in da day" then it is now.
now the most violent cities in the world probably don't even listen to rap music or speak english lol.
fukk your multipliers. grow up

Only a weak ass nikka get influenced off of music to the point of committing crimes.

what Ja did wasn’t a crime, but I do think he is trying to portray something he’s not.

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

It’s the music and shyt head for a pops and dusty nikkas around him

[2 Up 2 Down]

People talk about how rap has influence on culture and then turn around and deny it has any influence when it pertains to something negative

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.

I honestly don’t know what you’re trying to say

 

[Kingofthereal]

No shyt. Only The Coli doesn’t understand the influence this music has on our people. Ja clearly wants to be a rapper or a “street nikka”

I think for people to realize it they have to admit that black people are nothing more than followers of whatever trend is popular. That’s probably a hard pill to swallow for most black folks.

I wouldn’t say “nothing but”, but I get your point.

Crazy you say that because I was just “arguing” with my friend about how everything we do is monkey-see monkey-do. nikka talking about he wants to go to Jamaica…all the countries out here to visit and just whole continents to see, but because 10 people on his Feed all want to go to Jamaica, he wants to follow what they’re doing. Same with when everybody and their mom was going to Miami a few years ago…

 

[B86]

the NBA marquee player and black community/black family icon would disagree

Nobody said that every single one of us are influenced by the music. But those of us that are weak-minded are definitely influenced. It should only be entertainment; which Bron understands

 

[the artist known az]

Plus y'all forgetting this nikka has access to actually be around these same rappers not just listening to the music. I'm sure LeBron would tell you that being around Jay-Z at 18-19 years old had some kind of validation and influence on him. Jay just was almost 40 and moved away from that street life
