Will rappers having muscles ever be mainstream again?

[j.smooth4]

I was having a discussion about the destruction of black male image and everyone was talking about how rappers nowdays are being used to feminize black men. Even if the nikkas weren't jacked at least least they had some type of muscle tone.

90's to mid 2000's

mid 2000's to now

Exactly i be looking at some of these "scary" "savage" rap nikkas like .

nikkas bout 150lb. Half the time the girls in their music videos outweigh em by 20lb.

But yet these nikkas suspose to intimidate someone.

Keef isn't little like that anymore plus two chains is a big dude to. But muscles should go back Mainstream. Now a days I don't really see any dudes in shape(Swole,Cut,Athletic, etc) when I go out. Unless I'm at the gym or they just getting out off prison

This is actually a pretty interesting thread. I never thought about that. You make a good point. All these lil's and savage boys are tiny in comparison to the old heads.

You don't need muscles to shoot a gun.

These dudes aint shooting anything with a lot of recoil that would require an appropriate amount of upper body strength for proper control anyway.

These dudes don't fight anymore most older rappers used to grow up fighting or being in an atmosphere where there is an increased likelihood of having to throw hands.

These punks get online bullied until they can steal a gun or get old enough to buy one then decide to become rappers. These new kids don't need to know how to fight. The art of fighting was instinctual, you might have been in 3rd grade when someone popped off you'd be like "damn that dude can fight!"
Now days kids need mandatory boxing / fight training cause the shyt they are watching as they grow is turning them dainty and soft.

OP you really think there is a feminization of black men specifically?

I try my best to not listen to too much social commentary on the internet...
...but I hear this a lot amongst men of all races.

So I dont think its just black men.
I hear white dudes complain about how in mainstream media its cool to degrade men, and make men look dumb.
The feminization of men kind of goes hand in hand with feminism/gay rights being the main issue of liberals.

its the direction of the western world...masculinity is seen as a negative and threatening to a certain group of people.

I was channel surfing the other night an came upon this.
You only have to watch 25 seconds to get an idea of whats going on.
But this is whats considered correct in todays western world.

yeah being skinny is in style now, it's almost fashionable.

I'm amazed I used to be more muscular and I notice I get more attention from women when I'm out of shape vs when I'm in shape smh

Lol 21 savage was talking about quitting football in 8th grade then he started knocking nikkas out in 9th grade. I remember busting out laughing when I heard that shyt.
