No need to boycott hip hop on the whole.

Just boycott negative images. This will include much of today's popular hip hop, drama tv shows, reality tv, many movies & local news.

What it will do is destroy one of the major tactics used to manipulate what we thing of ourselves and what others think of us.

If you don't understand how bein' bombarded by these images affects us, read up on the psychology of such.

Hip hop doesn't teach materialism.

hip hop is materialistic.

:dwillhuh:


Bruh, you think hiphop has little to no influence on black minds, and we disagree with that:yeshrug:

Yes, hip-hop is a reflection of the streets but hiphop has made "the streets" synonymous with ALL black people.

It ties into the whole real nikka/suburban nikka dynamic. Its putting black people into this stereotypical box. Its a huge reason why black people are constantly judged as a group whereas other groups are judged individually.

Hiphop culture has been successfully used in the continuation of the destroying of the black image. This not only affects how we're viewed worldwide by others, but more importantly, how we view OURSELVES and each other.

Tech n9ne been doing it his whole career.Even before the Internet.

Thank you.

I live 20 minutes away from Tech and he and Travis are in control of all their music and business.
They run a rap empire from the middle of country and are turning down multiple million-dollar offers
from major labels, because they want to remain in control of their music. Every other rapper in the world can do the same.

Hip hop doesn't teach materialism but it does promote it. Theres a big difference. Black people have been put into a stereotypical box since slavery and we have always been judged as a group. That has nothing to do with hip hop. That real nikka/suburban nikka dynamic would be there regardless

Breh, you don't understand the concept that the tactics of white supremacy TRANSFORMS as the years go by?? You acknowledge the intentional demonization of the black image that's been going on for hundreds of years now right?? Why is it so unfathomable to you that modern-day hiphop is an extension of what's BEEN happening?

I understand that but everybody is blaming the artists and the genre
