Whats any different between Curtis Mayfield and the average degrading rap lyrics?

[BrothaZay]

I'm your mama, I'm your daddy

Translation I own you bytch, you mines

I'm that nikka in the alley

Referring to ones self as a nikka

I'm your doctor, when in need

Im a drug dealer

Want some coke, have some weed

I got white, I got kush, what you want

Secret stash, heavy bread

Got my dope money hidden in a good place

Baddest bytches, in the bed

I Got two bad bytches in my bed right now,

Makin' money all the time

Im getting money, wat u doin broke nikka?


Bu Bu Bu, hip hop has helped destroy the black community

DUMBAZZ...that was Curtis Mayfield singing within the character role of Superfly the pimp from a MOVIE FOOL

Curtis is a CONSCIOUS ARTIST...always was for the upliftment of his people.....but he also knew how to tell street narratives...

unlike these lost identity rappers who blur the line between CRIME AND RHYME

by saying everything in first person and trying to live vicariously thru these "characters"

As POSDONOUS said.."these niccaz not only talk shyt..these nikkas live it"

p*ssy it dont matter if it was a soundtrack, nikkas bacc in that day still listened to the lyrics and glamourized the lifestyle he was talkin about.

...The fact that this needs to be explained?

 

[dish lowry]

cause he did songs on a variety of topics...gangsta rappers aren't making songs like the makings of you & 'future shock....20 albums later & spice 1 is still doing songs about drivebys & shooting people

also hate when people compare movies & gangsta rap (how's al pacino playing a gangster different than a rapper)....he also played lawyers, regular working class people, a football coach, did shakespearean stuff, etc

No need for all that breh, dude didn't have to call you a dumbaas to get his point across (which I agree would incite me also) but he's right.

Still a great thread though lol

 

[Poh SIti Dawn]

Reminded me of this song


Yeah he made the soundtrack that's what that was.

 

[Dr. Sebi Jr.]

Sistas!

Whiteys!

Jews!

Crackas!

Don't worry.

If there's Hell below...
