People are so thirsty for clout. Dude is getting views for nodding his head smh.
Nodding respectfully in people's direction for the new age. :mjlol:

That said, if those against drill rap actually had a more cogent argument, I would understand. The kid made some good points about standing up for your community's rights, culture and all that. He was correct about the quality of drill rap in general or how tired it is, but acting like the music is has some causative qualities for violence when other factors actually easily cause more is a problem. Comment on how making shytty music lowers the barrier of entry for culture vultures and those that would seek to exploit the culture before whining about some amorphous quality that you can't even define and claim it causes violence or "influences" one to cause violence in a manner that you can't even explain and will inevitably move goalposts when called to prove it. If your concern is truly the music, then actually look at the people affected and figure out why they are effected as they where others are not. That's how you actually find a solution, rather than the exercise in scapegoating we've been seeing as of late.

The funny part is, I'm actually trying to help some of these people out but they will still get mad at me because they want to do things their way, however wrong it is. :rolleyes:

I fukk w op but he needs to know people associate him with this message and I know he’s passionate but it’s falling on deaf ears. People in TLR don’t care about being positive all the time and never listening to a drill song ever in their life. Not even saying he’s wrong it’s just a waste of space on the front page making these selfish threads just because it’s something HE likes to talk about. I have a passion for high fashion, but you don’t see me making threads about Rick Owens and Yohji Yamamoto on a weekly basis because I read the fukking room here and op is smart enough to do that.

fukk all that. Dude a literal fakkit that’s scared of black people. nikka been talking bout sterilizing women and all kind of goofy ass shyt. fukk all that analysis; dude just a bytch

I don’t really get it. But it’s better than dude just copying what he was saying word for word. But now that I think about it… this may be like a Retweet in a way? But dude could stitch and expound on it.

Don’t mind me… I don’t fully get tiktok.

Is high fashion getting us killed, and ruining our image?

I’m all for disavowing drill rap but the way rap music/hip-hop as a whole is being summarised in this argument is disingenuous.

If people really cared about the culture, they would do more to amplify the positive (or at least non-destructive) rappers but I barely see that happening so of course the music that is being pushed by labels and generate clicks on social media is going to be what kids see the most.
