RIP PNB Rock

Organized crime running rampant in the Black community - check
Government not doing anything about it (in fact, supplying the gangs with weapons) - check.
Black Panthers that protected the black community got shut down, but not crips and bloods - check.
Detroit 300, who tried to protect their Black community, got shut down, but not gangs - check.
Law abiding citizens can't carry guns in public, but criminals can - check.

The Black community is a simulation created by white supremacists for maximum Black pain and zero protection.

This reminds me of why focus so much on producing and being a house music and techno DJ because it's positive energy and personally I'm looking to black music outside of hip hop.

The thing I noticed though is unfortunately this cycle can't be broken because the major media outlets will not promote black artists outside of rap...so it feels like collectively we're stuck in this anti-black male death culture...because society wants to push and promote Black Men only as rappers...and I am so fukking sick of it.

Like does anybody ever stop to wonder why all this negative violent and oversexualized music is primarily marketed a black people and nothing else?


It's cause the powers that ie white society wants us as black men to kill ourselves off.

The people choose what they want and the labels oblige.

I’d argue that labels should have a moral imperative but the freedom of speech is constitutionally protected and black artists and people supported gangsta rap despite the push back from elders and politicians.

In my city in the last 10 years two teenage artists came out with different content…



The first has had a highly successful underground career teetering the line of mainstream success as a conscious rapper. He was an industry plant chosen and molded by handlers and labels early with a crew of creatives.

The other blew up making drill music organically in the streets and quickly started amassing views. Labels noticed signed him and he blew his opportunity months later killing someone outside of a barber shop. The other was hotter in the city before and after his deal than the first ever was.

In short the people need to take accountability for who and what they champion.

If you’re losing progressives then…

There’s going to be a backlash to all of this

Stupid tweet. Prison abolitionists are a tiny fringe with no real influence on policy. Cenk is an idiot.

Stop taking twitter responses as a direct reflection of the majority of the voter base

You know better than this

It's interesting how drill started getting pushed hard right when Kendrick, J Cole, Drake and others were at their highest. Seems like majority of mainstream rap was far less violent and was even having messages.

Drill.was adopted hard not pushed hard. For the most part it underperformed commercially

This is issue but their are also issues in your homelands

Right I think when Jimmy Ivine signed chief Keef that was the first time a young real street dude got major backing and it's been down hill ever since.

That wasn’t the first time. It was just the first time in awhile and broke the blog era mold of what labels were looking for.

Chief Keef was buzzing so much labels had no choice but to try and sign him. Keef was one of the first viral/YouTube rappers.
