With everything that's going on how can yall bump trap music

[Easy-E]

Honestly with everything that's coming to a boiling point it seems like trap music/Gangsta rap music is nothing but an anchor holding hiphop back. J-Cole and Kendrick are trying to push forward but they not getting any true traction. We do need to preserve that time and hip hop history but it's time for us to move forward and have a sub-genre that speaks about what's really going on not just pushing crack and fukking slores. What yall think??

• Chris Rock made a good point; its's 2014, so we can pretend that 95% of artists in '94 were pro-black, instead of just as materalistic/party-party-party, but they just made less mainstream/more Black music and they had skill.
• Why were you/ya'll bumpping Trap music in Dec 2013. Sean Bell still happened. Oscar Grant still happened. Brothers were still being strung up with modern day slavery (privatized prison).
• I can't stand this "NOW, NOW" Twitter Revolution crowd. I understand it. I have compassion. But, ya'll will eventually move on to the next thing the media tells you what's important.

J Cole...J COLE is the voice of this generation.

No shots, but, that new album sounds like he just found out the world ain't fair.

I'm like; calm down, we been fightin' and winnin'. This Mike Brown/Eric Garner/John Crawford (don't forget him) is a set back, but, don't let the media fool you about us, like they do Africa.

We are not some downtrodden people. I think black folk forget we're a numeric minority. There's literally only about 19, 20 million black males in America. And we do not control the media. Not as a target audience or as executives. We still doin' better than our grand parents.

If they dugged deeper they'd understand atleast we aren't being lynched with impunity and white folk aren't puttin' it on postcards. That's because of the fight our great grandparents had.

We've got too much pity for ourselves.

I agree with the OP...if all that is being promoted on the radio is trap artists then the sales numbers will be skewed for them because that is all that the general public will know. So you end up with less MF DOOMs or J Coles and more artists like Gucci Mane. If all that was played on cac radio stations was Nickelback then you will end up with more artists like Nickelback

lol at traction. how much has rick ross and jeezy sold in comparison to cole and ken?

 

[toomanydoses]

Its an economic problem not an artistic one. Better jobs would change the situation, listening to socially conscious rap wouldn't. Maybe I missed your point but music is music, nothing more or less.

Black people are still being lynched with impunity and instead of postcards it's Internet memes.

Its just music. White people came up with the rap music destroying black communities argument.

 

[Smitty Belafonte]

I'm just personally tired of trap music. Tired of nikkas telling us they coke tales, fukking everybody else broad but their own, killing other black men, etc. Just boring at this point, so I do agree. Also tired of these cats having the same flow, hooks, and beats no originality at all. I mean can Ross and Jeezy really make another album talking bout dope dealing the whole album. shyts kind of comical and shows me that they think their fans or listeners are dumb fukks

shut the fukk up slut we turnin up in this bytch

The beat is dope but this video is so fukking corny

There's no such thing as "just music", this music directly harms Black communities.

y'all nikkaz sound like y'all need G Baby in here

We can easily just listen to what we like...

When people get mad or have a problem with something's popularity, that's when you just care what other people like. I used to be like that myself, wondering why the fukk Nelly and Ja Rule were sellin' so much and how come shyt like that is what's being played all the time. But as you start to just focus on what YOU PERSONALLY FUKK WITH, you find yourself havin' less time to give a shyt what the radio is playing, or MTV is playing. It costs nothin' to pay it no mind. It's not like you can control what someone else likes, or what someone else plays... so why bother being worried by it? I don't care for Young Thug AT ALL... and as a result, I don't hear him unless I'm playing a party. Cause I don't HAVE TO listen to him on my own time.

The Coli black elite is in the building...

Don't listen to trap music brehs, but lets spend money to watch the cac action flick with the same ol storylines that we complain about in rap music..
