"We're not glorifying violence, we're just broadcasting what goes on"

[CrimsonTider]

Music that isn’t ignorant

The only huge rapper that had hits with substance was Ye

2000s was the era of Crunk an Ringtone rap, dance songs

2010s had that too and then Trap dominated an everyone knows trap isn’t a genre that’ll promote something other than violence and drug dealing. Also Drill music was huge

And then it turned into drug addict music

You don’t know what your talking about

 

[Black_Panther_JS]

You don’t know what your talking about

So you’re telling me Ringtone rap and Traps subject matter is comparable to music from Pac, Lupe, Common and early Ye type rappers?

The subject matter is the same

Kendrick, Cole Chance rappers exist

 

[Roid Jones]

That weak line has always made me laugh

They got big in 2013,14 an 15, I was really talking about the 2000s

This is my best album yo. I was just in a zone making it. Label was on board the whole time and was like “we gonna let you do what you do”. Instant classic.

Right?

"I took it to the next level with this one."

(*puts on album, shyt sounds like ere'thing else already out*)

 

[The Coochie Assassin]

Instagram took it to the next level to with the glorification. Rappers say they not glorifying drugs, gangs and guns but their entire IG is them promoting drugs, gangs and guns

 

[How Sway?]

Tired of that weak statement/excuse.

That really only applies to rappers in the 80s and 90s like pac, mc eiht, krs one, even nwa or biggie.

But nowadays, esp when damn near all of these street rappers are really just street nikkas that just happen to rap, and lack creativity or any thoughtfulness in their lyrics, and they're brandishing guns in their videos.....sorry but you ARE glorifying violence.

 

[UberEatsDriver]

Rappers love saying that, but when you listen to the records, it damn sure sounds like glorification to me.

The best example of a song that speaks on the bad shyt in the hood and doesn't glorify it is



Along the way, we got songs instructing us on how to make crack, celebrating the killings of other Blacks, slippin' drugs in a woman's drink, disrespecting Black women, etc.


That "broadcasting what goes on" reasoning is bullshyt

The funny thing about that video is that none of these new rappers would get caught dead living in those periods in Harlem lol.

But yea to your point it’s all an excuse to not hold any accountability.

Yea, always felt this was a dumb argument that rappers use. There's a way to broadcast whats going on in ur raps but most rappers go way beyond that.
