“Rap doesn’t influence anyone to commit crimes”

[JNew]

It’s not because it sells merely, because they can control whats popular. If they wanted virginity to be popular, they could. They do it, strictly to destroy The Most High’s chosen people made in his image (Negroes). It’s also why they forced haircuts in the workplace, shaving of beards, black women having to perm or wear wigs, ect….

The fake chosen do anything to keep the real chosen in the dark, living in sin, constantly in prison, and prematurely dying. Rap also doesn’t affect other groups for the fact that they are not chosen, so they aren’t affected, and they don’t identify with it, it’s merely entertainment to them.

Yes and no at the end of the day people will listen to what they want. All music, rap rock pop will influence you, that’s what’s it meant to do.

They way you talk you act like all black men are in and out of jail and in constant fear of killing or being killed.

The people I know and hang with know rap is pure entertainment. Does it influence people yes but those people would be influenced by anything that comes along.

Crime was worse before rap and if we got rid of it today crime would be just as bad or worse nothing would change but people don’t want to look at themselves and do the work.

What people should do the work?

It's gonna be another 15 pages of juelzing. We've speculated about the cons, but what exactly are the pros of violent rap that have you nikkas come to its defense? Anyone care to enlighten me? It's just catchy?

I'm wondering the same thing because I'm struggling to find redeeming qualities in content that celebrates and glamorizes the deaths of Black people.

Georgia Mom Charged with Murder After She Allegedly Stabbed Her Kids to Death as House Burned

Neighbors said some of the kids jumped out of a second story window to escape, according to reports

people.com

A Georgia mom is behind bars after authorities allege she fatally stabbed three of her children during a house fire.


According to a Paulding County Sheriff's Office news release, deputies and firefighters responded to a domestic disturbance and fire at a Rockmart, Ga., home on Friday night.


Authorities determined seven children lived at the home, according to the release.


Two of the kids, ages 3 years old and 9 months old, suffered from apparent stab wounds and were pronounced dead on the scene.


Three more children — ages 5, 9, and 11 — were transported to a local hospital, where the 5-year-old succumbed to injuries and died.


Additionally, two teens, ages 14 and 16, did not appear to have injuries, the sheriff's office said.

Neighbors told WXIA-TV some of the kids jumped out of a second story window to escape.


Deputies arrested the children's mother, 40-year-old Darlene Brister, who now faces two counts of malice murder in connection with stabbing deaths of her children.


More charges are imminent, the sheriff's office said.


Investigators are still trying to determine if the fire was started intentionally.


Speaking to WAGA-TV on Monday, the children's father and Brister's husband of 17 years, Ricky Brister, said his wife suffered from depression.


"She was hurt," he said. "She lost it."


Ricky also told the station he was leaning on his faith and "compassion" to help him and his family get through the ordeal.


"I'm a Christian man and I have Christian values. My message is a message of compassion for everybody," he said, the outlet reports. "There's nothing else that's going to help us get past this."


Following the blaze, Ricky said he and his kids are in need of a place to stay and other necessities.


A GoFundMe campaign, which says the father of seven was on his way home from out of state at the time of the incident, has been launched on his family's behalf.


According to jail records, Darlene is being held without bond at the Paulding County Detention Center.


It wasn't immediately clear if she retained an attorney to comment on her behalf or entered a plea to the charges.

so to all the people that in here that think rap influence the youth, did it influence YOU to commit crimes when you were young?

 

[Marc Spector]

Rap doesnt influence crime but it influences people to buy into a lifestyle that easily leads to crime. And the issue larger than rap is that Black folks live in conditions/have a self image probl where the lifestyle that rap promotes is seen as THE viable option for money, socialization, clout and entertainment in our community.

This differs from the punk scene kids who wore docs and had mohawks but then went to college and majored in accounting or country music heads who are working at the plant but go mudding and line dancing on weekends.

Ive been listening to gangsta rap since i was 6 years old but what kept rap from putting me on to drug, gang and overall dusty nikka fukkery is that it never seemed like a viable, sustainable option, no matter how much bytches liked it or whatever.

In my eyes (and my parents) i had better things for me so i was kept on a particular road. Kids need options and our culture collectively has to embrace healthier images for boys and girls to model themselves after.

What people should do the work?

We need to focus on family units and education working on holding ourselves accountable and creating healthy environments for our children to thrive in obviously there will be other obstacles but just doing this would make a huge difference

 

[old pig]

so the thread went from rap influences crime to rap can make you moody?

cats just want to vent about rap…I wouldn’t be surprised if a decent number of them are not working with these kids, going into these neighborhoods and seeing the underlying factors that create these fukked up circumstances that rap reflects…and that doesn’t excuse anyone as some LOVE to insist but it does explain why it’s happening…there are far more circumstances that contribute to crime statistically than listening to rap music…but cats are already backing off that shyt lol

 

[#BOTHSIDES]

It doesn’t. I’ve listened to all types of toxic music, and never committed any crimes. Love songs were hella popular in the 50-70s, but everyone wasn't all in love.

haahahah

Nobody is selling drugs because their favorite rapper does it. They do it because they're environment doesn't offer much else.

 

[JNew]

Why isn't Mick Jaeger, Eric Clapton and other Rock and Roll bands blamed for the opioid, cocaine and other drug crisis in the White community?

Why isn't Charlie Daniel and Waylon Jennings blamed for alcoholism, and drunk driving in the White community?

Yet rappers are blamed for ills in the Black community?

White people had wood stock. Yes rap in unfairly used against our community in some instances but that’s life. Get passed it.

White people can say anything they want about the ills of our community. Doesn’t mean their true or accurate.

Gangster rap is a result of the ills of our community. (The crack epidemic) It jus so happens to be the most popular cause it’s normally pushed as a rags to riches story.

And this is the key. It’s the most popular yet the platform is used to spur more negativity instead of discussing deeper issues.

Take rappers who terrorized their own community, sold drugs to their own community, gone to jail, killed and get on record and say it as if I means nothing and its being heard by young impressionable people at a rate never before.

 

[JNew]

so to all the people that in here that think rap influence the youth, did it influence YOU to commit crimes when you were young?

It’s not that easy or simple.

It’s just influence people to take chances.

 

[Dameon Farrow]

This is one of the dumbest topics ever. If rap makes folks do dirt explain dirt pre rap. There are other factors period.

You also have to explain why middle class(and countless folks who make less than them) folks listen to it and just go to work and go home.

shyt reeks of bigotry yet clowns repeat it over and over again to sound smart.
