early 2000 hip-hop music videos had a lot more variety and it's confusing considering how much cheaper it is to make a music video these days.So let’s get this out of the way…
This might be old head babble. But I need someone to explain this:
Thanksgiving weekend I’m at a friends house. He’s got relatives over. And one of the kids is 16 or 17 years old and on the tv he’s playing all these Lil Durk videos. Probably some other ones too. But I recognized that Durk kid.
So as we are laughing and drinking and talking I occasionally glance at the tv.
Every video…fukkin EVERY VIDEO this kid played, showed a bunch of guys holding stacks of cash, and making trigger pulling gestures at the camera. Like, this shyt was relentless. It must have been a good hour of music videos. Cash and trigger fingers.
Am I just out of touch here? Because I remember thinking “what the fukk happened to hip hop?”
Obviously it wasn’t all conscious rap and stuff back in the day. But there was definitely more depth than this shyt. You’d think the artists would evolve over the years.
But again. Maybe I just don’t get it.
He is/was a very active member of the Black Disciples gang in Chicago. He just so happen to make it and not die.So let’s get this out of the way…

They don’t take it seriously. It’s entertainment. So it’s compartmentalized within that context for them. Another reason you don’t see them having hip hop influenced conversations like “how to get to the bag” or some goofy nonsense on youtube or why you don’t see them posting about charleston white
They can separate real, actual conversations from entertainment conversations

If White People are 70% of the listeners of Hip Hop, it stands to reason they should be feeling the biggest effects of the alleged negative effects like crime, misogyny, and ratchet behavior that listening to Hip Hop causes. How has the life of White People been impacted since they jumped on the Hip Hop bandwagon?
