because that's who's talking to most of these kids. who's words they hearing repeating and living by. why you got people still acting like music is not driving culture and society is beyond me.

You honestly think music would fix the majority of black folk problems? :heh:
Not even gonna get into that albatross of an issue.
But
Cause 2 40 year old nikkas squashed some beef it's gon tell all these 20 year olds to squash theirs? like these youngins haven't seen their own people get killed and still decide to keep on with whatever fukkery they're in. They aint changing nothing right now.
What Jeezy qnd nem doing. That's maturity, it happens with every generation when it comes to these generational issues.
20 year olds gon be 20 year olds and act like immature invincible 20 year olds.
30-40 year olds gon realize that shyt was stupid and go home to be a family man.
In 15-20 years whatever is left of these young dudes are gonna do the same thing.

Main source of black entertainment designed to influence and control the people. The best flip is to take control of the message. Understand?

Is flipping that message going to get people out of poverty? Is it going to get schools in those communities the same resources as those in whit0e areas?
You think nikkas sell drugs cause rappers tell em to? Or you think they do it cause they lack resources, options, and fukking hope to get out of those situations cause they're beat down before their life even gets a chance to get started.
Rap messages aint fixing any real issues

breh i don't think anyone is saying that.

what we are saying is music is PART of the greater issue not the CAUSE of a damn thing. What the music does is perpetuate the vitriol that lends itself to black men and women hurting themselves and one another.

c'mon breh.

Its hella easy to be a “ freedom fighter” now.
Imagine tryna tell a kid whose popping w/ trap music to have a positive vibe. When Jeezy the snow man was the epitome of trap.

That being said music is probably the most powerful media know to man. It has the power to influence, change minds, cement and motivate ideas.

If Jeezy can convince you to sell drugs...:sas1:

Then he should be able to convince you to empower yourself...
:sas2:

But every thing wrong with the black community was happening way before rap music was even invented. So anything that yall claims happens because of rap aint really because of rap.

Southern rappers killed hip hop.:francis:

That's true, but also a bit of an oxymoron because the first New York rappers predominantly were from the South (or either from the Caribbean). I think historically these groups migrating and immigrating Blacks outnumber those who already lived there for centuries.

Anyway, I do agree that Southern rap was "and is" mostly lame.

The few I liked are Outkast, Ludacris, Little Brother and Jay Electronica.
