People are really missing on the point on this because they are so out of touch. Both with their inner and outer worlds.
Yes, the programming is exceedingly violent and negative. Totally bereft of the tiny bit of insight and wisdom we had back when the music had a message in it and Rakim would never wear a dress and ish but what we really appreciated was when it hit like this:
Don't front, you know it got you open. That violence was already within us and the music simply provided a vent, a seamless resonance to put those feelings into a cadence with a beat. It made you feel alive, more than likely made you get high, drink whatever they promoted and feel the vibe but ultimately it couldn't generate what wasn't already present.
The nerdy ass backpackers who were listening to obscure and dusty spiritual lyrical miracles didn't one day wake up and throw on some Chucks, roll a blunt and start running up on people because Snoop made it cool. Stop. They kept doing them because they were feeling what they were feeling because of the same process mentioned.
What the actual point and topic is is whats making the kids gravitate toward this? The lead in the 60s hypothesis is very interesting and I suspect a similar thing is occurring right now and I'd be willing to bet that if I stated the reason you'd think I was a tinfoil conspiracy theorist even the implications are obvious when one considers the nature of coherence.
Reality is engineered as part of an ongoing process by those who shape the narrative and influence peoples decisions, often not in their best interests by creating a problem, waiting for a reaction then offering a solution which keeps the collective headed toward the abyss.
Being young in this modern age must be terrible as they're hyper stimulated, totally insecure and fronting for the sake of fronting because everyone is. We simply didn't exist in a world that had these kind of factors as we competed with people on our street, our town, our level. They've got to literally take on a few billion contenders as the scope has expanded dramatically otherwise you're a nothing.
What does that generate? Frustration, rage, depression. A strong desire to escape the numbness via further sedation which means you need higher and higher doses to even register the hit because you may be always online and plugged in but in another sense you're disconnected because the pain and suffering are ineffable and immense.
It all makes perfect sense even if the picture it builds is ugly as sin. What do you think? Certainly I believe rap is a weapon and it was even in our generation and probably since its inception but the underlying process is one of resonance and therefore it acts like a vent that releases a pressure as well as building it.
The very fact that such a small and distorted aspect of the rich culture of hiphop holds (and has held) the entire world its grip since 96 is mindblowing when you stop and think about it.
