Pat Beverly blames Drill Music for influencing Ja

[RaspberryFitted]

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.

this makes no sense because we are trend setters.

a more appropriate statement is we set unrealistic/outlandish standards in every faucet of our lives.

brother got the lego pole and everything but we keep pretending like these Black kids seeing their reflections in media aren't influenced by this content.

If the consequences of the behavior were broadcast more than they already are, we'd decry the media's portrayal of us even more vehemently.

Catch-22.

Beverly has been shipped around the NBA like Uhaul truck past 2 years he's reaching to stay relevant by making controversial takes like this. Remember this guy grew up in the Chi which is notorious for gun violence. Wonder if he blames music for that as well rather than root causes.

nikkas will literally deflect any way possible rather than acknowledging the problem…

To make it worse these trends are either straight up created by white people or just so happen to always line their pockets.

European fashion designers, auto manufacturers, jewelers, plastic surgeons, major record labels, non-black owned liquor brands, even the prisons

Blame music and not his upbringing!


Pat Bev a old grump.

Breh…you do realize Ja was brought up in the suburbs in a 2 parent home and him and his sister had everything they wanted, right? That’s a lot of the reason why everybody is going in on his stupidity. Any sports broadcaster that has talked about the situation has said “he’s not hard. He never struggled and he wasn’t raised like that”; Which is what those of us that know better try to tell y’all that always think it has something to do with someone’s upbringing.

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

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

 

[DarkmanX]

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”

We can love hip-hop & rap as much as we do..but to say it doesnt negatively influence people - especially young, maybe ourselves growing up - is a big cap.
