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

[L. Deezy]

OP makes valid points but too many clowns on this forum cannot fukking read and immediately get defensive that he's trying to take your music away.

I agree

To each their own. If certain cats get off on feeling mighty with that shyt music...

Let em.


Worry about your circle and those closest around you. Influence them and then they influence someone else and then one by one hopefully shyt can change for the better.

Until then

chill playa

I think all trap rappers should only release their mixtapes and albums at trap houses...keep it underground...you think any of you would go to a ward to get your fav rappers mixtape

i can listen to both

personally i'm in favor of rappers being able to make the type of music they want, positive or negative, and being given the freedom to express themselves, the issue comes when one type of music is promoted above all else

the idea that the labels are just giving the public what it wants is flawed because really the public doesn't have much of a choice to begin with

So j-cole raps about the trap now? And kendrick too? What about joey badass? And the other 400 b ackpack rappers that are currently getting play? They're all trap artists?

Shut the fukk up dog. Days of hearing about the streets in rap have all but died. You have trap music which is more about shock value then story telling and thats about it. Yet you square nikkas stay acting like every rapper is Keef.

we reside in america. Freedom of speech. rappers can say whatever they wanna say. Thats never gonna change. If you're not interested in it then bump something different. Problem solved.

Lot of people in this thread acting as though Kendrick Lamar's Good Kid didn't go PLATINUM and J Cole's new album didn't go GOLD IN A WEEK.

Meanwhile Gucci, Jeezy, Ross, Waka, Keef, Migos, Nicki Minaj, 50 Cent, Game, and TI are out here struggling or declining. Even YG's hyped up debut did shytty sales compared to Cole, especially considering Cole didn't have any big singles.

OP you do realize this, right ?

You can't use them as examples because they are expections to the rule.

Im listening to the pop station RITE NOW and the following positive, motivating song by a black artist is playing, yet as popular as the song is ive NEVER heard it on black radio. The only time ive ever heard this song (besides in commercials) is on pop/white stations Aloe Blacc - The Man (Explicit):

yo i never even thought about that but i can honestly say the same thing.

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.

TBH, there's plenty of subgenres under the Hip Hop umbrella. Most of which wouldn't get any love on this board so I can understand why people are up in arms. As to why not are hitting the U.S. mainstream lately, guess it's just not their time.

As a black man(you're probably not one) how can it be just "entertainment" knowing that the murdering of fellow blacks, glamourization of the thug/gang/prison lifestyle and the promotion of drug distribution to the black community is PURPOSELY being aimed at the black youth? Rappers with names like "Young Thug" & "Bobby SchMURDA" are given the highest platforms to influence the impressionable minds of the young black youth. How does that make you, BLACK MAN, feel?

Yeah, it sucks, but the good thing is that their numbers are getting lower and lower as time goes on. Soon, the companies that push that shyt will have to cave in to the financial woes.
