A big part of why Hip Hop created in the South Bronx was to release aggression and resolve street beef like real men. Men with heart.

My girl did some promo for a venue recently.

I asked if I could throw a show there.

Typical response "Oh no, the owner doesn't do live hip hop shows. They're problematic"

Luckily I know venues that will.

It's been like this since 2000 and before.

You try to win them over by talking lighter hip hop. Conscious, not gangster or trap.

It's scary.

So when artists are lucky enough to set venues and people beef in the crowd? Fight? Use weapons?

Those people are a poison to this culture.

It's scary. But I plan on doing a show in Toronto this year, like I have for years.

:manny: not worth it from a business perspective

-need more security
-higher chances of random violence both in or outside your establishment
-higher chances of minors tryin to get into your club

I currently live in the Midwest my small city gets one "hiphop " club every 5 years and they never last more than 6 months. Last one very nice place nice owner two shootings last summer.

Most modern rap "concerts" are trash anyway, 25 mfers on a stage with the rapper showing up to the performance 2 hours late to just stand there and walk back in forth while smoking weed with his skinny jeans hanging off his ass crack and a audio track of said rapper's songs playing in the background.

Pure garbage

And then anybody who's spending money, they're not going to come back to risk getting into a fight or dying.

I blame the idiots who consistently go to/pay for tickets to that crap, though.

Which part of the midwest?

I saw that same pattern in different Missouri cities. A new spot would open with a decent upscale black crowd. Eventually nikkas would find out about it and want to start showing up. Within a few weeks fights would break out or shots would get fired. Metal detectors would get installed and things would calm down for a few weeks. Eventually nikkas carrying heat would just parking light pimp and a fight would break out after the club closed with more shots fired and police swarming. The professional black folks would stop showing up and eventually the club would close down.

I barely avoided being pepper sprayed as the cops ran up in a few of them spots.

Bro, thank you for that.

This is fukking bullshyt.

I still know bars in Toronto that do this.

But honestly, Hip Hop as a whole needs to change this.

The 80s in New York did it right, the Stretch and Bob era did it the best - and it regressed from there.

YouTube is great and an innovation.

But music is best live!

Your song must be really fire that u can cause a Riot…

U gotta instill some demon magic in your stuff.

Tear The Club Up by 3-6 is a banger that caused many clubs to be torn to pieces.
Crunk era got a few joints we used to get rowdy too. Throw it up would have the whole E-Club throwing up sets lol
