Rappers are the Most Respected, Admired, Imitated and Worshipped People in the Black Community. And it has DESTROYED US.

Old school rap is still G.O.A.T because these dude rapped about real problems

OP prepare to receive some negs for this thread. You're dealing with people unable to fathom a reality for black people outside the lenses of hiphop culture. I want to add this.

Rap overall has been a negative influence on the black community. When gangsta first came on the scene it painted a grim reality of street life and it still does. The problem is that, over time the art went from imitating reality to reality imitating the art. Street life, gangs, drugs, hoes, etc have ALWAYS been around. But it was a small subculture and it didn't have the pervasive cultural influence it does in our community as it has today. Now the glorification of street life IS THE CULTURE. And I can't emphasize this enough. There are NO MAJOR alternative outlets for young black people to express themselves these days (none that we can distinctly claim as our own).

The Black Church is Dead. Black Revolutionary Culture is Dead. The Black family is Dead. All a lot of us have left is but to form our identities around but the caricatures defined within hip hop culture. And that's it. Anything outside of that and you're pretty much a social outcast. An anomaly.

Rappers are imitating street cats though so...

That was in the 90s, before the internet.

Street dudes use to have more money than rappers, not anymore.

So real bruh. Thank you.


That's why I say Hiphop is a religion in our community. We get most of our social queues and goals from music and social media.

OP had a point and then went full retard lol

 

[In The Zone '98]

What about all the black Americans who don't care about rap like that?

 

[Voice of Reason]

I've seen you post some conservative bootlicking stuff in the past but you are correct about this.


Boosie is the worst example of what he mean

 

[Antwon Mitchell]

OP clearly running out of thread ideas.

This is a constant rehashed topic, I could've sworn I seen a thread like this last week or two ago by another poster or by OP himself in regards to a different topic and now worded differently for this topic.

Rehash after rehash, OP lacks creativeness.

I didn’t need the long post to know shyt has change since the late 80s till now

At one point black men working at Chrysler, Ford, manufacturing plants and other Daily trades was inspirations in our community

But the quick buck in the drug game and the image of high rollers, cars, clothes, women chasing drug dealers, then when the drug dealers all got arrested it shifted to the new drug game which is rap..

I did community service for like 4 months in Compton and telling the youngsters by getting a trade or education and it was naww king , I’m going to be the next lil baby, Kendrick Lamar…

Look how Toxic 50 cent is. Look how he destroys his brothers and worships CACs like Em.

So many people champion this wicked man.

So we get rid of hip hop and replace it with what?

We don't have to replace it, just change the message. Promote more positive and productive things.
