It's like no matter what type of song it is ..it could be an upbeat dance song like the above...and the rapper will force atleast 1 bar about violence to another black person. :why:



Damn near like it's mandatory :why:


I don't think that is what's going on exactly, what is mandatory is to use 'nikka' and 'bytch' and other curse words in the song. Once that box is drawn it's hard to be positive and happy

In the beginning cursing was freeing because you can express more things with it but once it became mandatory to curse it limits artists' subject matter

I wouldn't say songs revolve around violence it's more they revolve around 'nikkas' and ''bytches', so subject matter revolves around those words

Long story short Delores Tucker was right

If you peep the trajectory of Hip Hop, there's always been tough talk but NWA was a pivot point.

They BLEW UP with that shyt and suddenly all record companies were signing only gangsta rap.

Even Biggie, Wu, Nas and all them are essentially gangsta rap.

Now people like it that these dudes are actually killing each other..

Same way the news is full of violence and misery I guess.

Before Hip Hop became a gigantic industry, there were 99 types of rap. Kid N Play. Queen Latifah. Biz Markie. PE. Then the other 98 types went underground and gangsta rap overtook the whole landscape

That gangsta rap was bad, cursing is bad. Rap is bad for the black community

Admittedly it sounded like BS, especially if you're a hip hop head and you consider gangsta rap a sub section of rap

But overtime I think she was right, it's led to the point we're all rap songs and rnb songs revolve around ninjas and bytches and scattered cursing. I think black artists are in a box and have limited subject matter nowadays and it's bad for black culture
