Violent music really isn't any different from an action flick

Violent music really isn't any different from an action flick, is it?

Both of them provide a vicarious vent via entertainment and are roughly parallel in that sense. You could actually argue that movies are more visceral and direct due to their length and combined mediums of entrancement vs a three minute song with a minutes worth of angry ranting at the end.

Violence in film has doubled since its inception and what was for adults is now pretty much the level for children. Thing is if you look at the crime stats and compare them they are on an opposite trend. Interesting, don't you think?

And thats before we even bring sex into this. Remember how rare it was to glimpse a titty on mainstream TV back in the 80s?

Being "real" is not a selling point of famous actors in violent film. It is one of if not the most important selling point of violent rap culture

It was all perfect until that pesky Tupac came and ruined everything!

If you love sexy lesbians like most men.
You would be shocked at megan and cardi tribbing.
Tribbing is the holy grail of lesbian activities.

Professional porno man made a thread yesterday saying he concerned.
Tribbing in a music video?

Majority of the folks who went in the thread said Tribbing in a rap music is not a big deal

The only question is whats next?
Lesbo strap on activities?

That is a valid point and it links in with each generation being number than the one that preceded it so the ante is upped so that they may feel something. Itself an immense topic as it speaks volumes about the nature of this realm as well as the illusion of wisdom that hides so much ignorance.

These trends speak of society as a whole because while what is popular is one part social engineering its also two parts resonance of what is already within.

Deniro is not out there saying he's actually a gangster in real life, nor does his audience demand that he be "real" and actually live that lifestyle in order for his performances to have credibility to them. Further, he doesn't come from a community that is ravaged by, yet glorifies similar violence portrayed in his movies.

Playing devils advocate, who is that on at the end of the day?

On the one hand you can argue convincingly that rap was the response of those under the influence of systemic racism for generations but then its also obvious that this tool itself was turned to a weapon of further suppression via the proliferation and promotion of ignorance, death and destruction.

Somebody said in a thread that those conscious vibes simply won't sell. People don't want to hear it. Rather than knowledge being kicked they prefer the sounds of low vibrational hellscapes. He had a valid point but that just links in with what I said about the numbness from one generation to the next.

Whats the solution if rap is the symptom?

This is pretty obtuse

As far as mainstream entertainment, most violent music is about killing and/or abusing 'nikkas', 'bytches', etc over next to nothing while most violent movies are about killing clear villains.

it’s all perception, the people who ate easily manipulated will always be fooled. A lot of people out here never had the right guidance

Edit: my point being it’s all entertainment, enjoy if you like it and keep it moving

Indeed, I've often said that rap is the sound of genocide etc etc but thought "Lets try and see it from the other lens" and the insight this brings via a new perspective that hadn't been considered in previous messages.

The people, en masse, are obviously enamored with this. We, the old heads, have issues but that is a tale as ancient as time itself. See onions and belts.

Overall the trends seem to be destructive but the stats say something different. The net also hammers more bad news into the heads of those who consume it with its hyper specialization which can skew perceptions.

Maybe at one point; but now its intertwined with social media. so I can't agree with this. plus bodies are dropping from music. can you say the same for film?

This is a song from a cast of people rapping about how they're smoking on dead Black men. The Black men they're rapping about were all murdered by Black men and they're celebrating in these deaths.

What action movie would you compare this to?

I’m pretty sure In every rap song they talk about “my nikkas” their brothers which they distinguish from “those nikkas” their opps or what you like to make excuse as for other genres as “villains”. Like…. The distinction is layed out in the verses in plain English but y’all skim music cuz Y’all want it to be one way so bad

Being authentic is part of the essence of hip hop and extends to all styles, not just gangster rap
