Why Is The Default Subject Matter For Rap....Violence Against Another Black Man?

[Knuckles Red]

Why do you all think white people like rap music so much? Its basically white supremacist chants, set to a trap beat, at this point.

Sadly becuz for far too many black men this is the reality of what they SEE on a daily basis. Art imitates life

tough talk is the easiest thing

it takes more intelligence than 99.9% of nikkas posses to talk about anything else

rap became a quick hustle for rockbrain nikkas

Rapping about being addicted to weed

Hey yo, this is the real negrito grande???

 

[#BOTHSIDES]

But the coli said rap doesn’t affect them. It doesn’t matter if they talk about killing a blk man

Lemme stop you here again with this lie, because it is a lie:


C.Delores Tucker’s problem(s) with Gangsta Rap were:

1. It was obscene and violent toward Black women. Just the women.
And the “violence” she referenced most was about the language.
She didn’t give a damn about the violence toward Black men.
Out of her own mouth, she declared the last straw for her was the comic book artwork in Doggystyle…
…so not even the music.

2. She had a (literal) share in it.
As a person with shares in TimeWarner (Warner Bros./Elektra/Eastwest/Atlantic/Interscope)
She had some control/influence over the product.

So if you wanna argue she was right, you gotta at least show her real position.

Are you seriously trying to turn this into some bm vs bw topic? lol

You're just picking random quotes and misinterpreting, the beef with gangsta rap was with the violence and cursing, I take her comments about how women are portrayed as just her piling on

Being a shareholder doesn't give you any real power, you can go right now and buy some shares of Apple on robinhood, will that give you influence over Apple?

Technically if you are a shareholder you can attend the shareholder meetings and make a comment but that's about it

Any mention of jews in a rap song gets censored as standard.

And its always always a 'positive' bar usually about money. And yet talking about killing multiple black men is all good.

Because the money stereotype is one if not the main leading cause behind antisemitism.

Population control. They can’t do us like they did in Argentina and other places so they do it more covert. Make intra-racial violence glorified through song. Music is how most of the popular racist tropes traveled. Song is powerful. But I already know y’all will go out your way to condone the shyt .

The destructive messages are so baked in into the consciousness of our people. Look how defensive some posters get when the negativity is pointed out.

'It's just music'

You're an idiot

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Violence and sex has always sold but it is really amazing to me how the real default subject of rap is selling dope. Most of these rappers really only rap about dealing drugs it’s crazy

 

[theworldismine13]

You're an idiot

if you say so

 

[Fresh]

not only is a lot of rap about Black males killing other Black males, but it's also about doing as much drugs as possible

rap used to talk about SELLING drugs, now it's about DOING drugs, smh

 

[Voice of Reason]

cacs are putting this shyt out
