What "boycotting hiphop" WOULD and WOULDN'T do

[It is a mystery]

I keep hearing about boycotting hiphop on TLR so I thought about what would actually do. The results were interesting

What boycotting hiphop wouldn't do:

• Stop violence in impoverished areas because it was there before and would continue to happen
• Stop trapping in impoverished areas because it was there before and would continue to happen
• Change the perception of black people in the Americas because it was there before and would continue to happen
• Help the people in worse off areas by providing them with better schooling, better career projections, better options for extra-curricular activities, more opportunities to travel and learn of the customs of the world, etc.

What boycotting hiphop WOULD do

• Stop people from talking about the stuff they see around them and projecting messages to the public about how fukked up some areas are
• Remove a voice from people who want to deliver a message for any reason (artistic expression, get something off their mind, prove a point, etc.)
• Stop middle class people from learning of new drugs like molly
• Stop people in lower income brackets from giving a shyt about high end fashion although they still might anyways
• Stop people from putting money into black people (rappers) pockets to ultimately place it elsewhere
• Give people from impoverished areas even LESS options, forcing them to trap even MORE

Sounds good to me, who wants to sign up?

There was a thread on boycotting hiphop in TLR not too long ago.

Not a damn thing either way.

First off, a large-scale boycott of hiphop would never happen with our current mindset.

Now, If a massive, coordinated and ultimately SUCCESSFULL boycott of hiphop (and more importantly the businesses that fund corporate hiphop) DID happen, that would mean that a massive psychological shift for the better had already happened amongst blacks.

It would mean that blacks experienced an increase in racial pride. An increase in love for oneself and each other. An increase in unity amongst each other. An increased awareness in past history and the tactics used in systemic oppression (including "media propaganda" in which hip-hop falls under). An increase in knowledge of self and so forth.


It would mean that "change" is in progress and that we're no longer "sleep".

Remember, white supremacy depends on our own ignorance, division and lowered self-esteem about ourselves. A boycott of hiphop and its destructive messages would mean that a reversal in those things had already happened.









































Nice try OP

If you really want to boycott hiphop than just support independent artist

Basicly, a boycott of hiphop and its toxic messages would be a RESULT of a massive "awakening" amongst blacks.

Hip Hop is expression and an art form that has given a voice to so many. Why would you want to that away?
All Hip Hop is not violent or destructive@PhonZhi

Who controls hip-hop tho. That's the issue. We need to gain back control of it. Not boycott and do away with it. Hiphop is one our greatest creations but we no longer control it.

So boycott the machine behind Hip Hop by not supporting artists who spout garbage and negativity? Thought you meant ban or get rid Hip Hop altogether. Name hits the ear wrong lol.

How is boycotting hiphop going to make you "woke"? How is boycotting hiphop going to HELP people who are actually in the struggle?

Miss the entire point of my post, brehs

A boycott can't happen unless we're "woke" FIRST

How is boycotting hiphop going to HELP people who are actually in the struggle?

Question: why haven't black people BEEN putting our $$$ into black owned banks? Why is this JUST NOW a recent trend?

To answer your question: Black people are becoming more unified due to massive distrust in other groups. Now WTF does banking have to do with my question or even this topic? I made a topic about "boycotting hip hop" and you are going left field
