No, but he's a person that distributes music that represents and influences the culture. Stop pushing these Judge lawyer or politicians on people when that's obviously not how you reach the black community.
If that were the case people would just listen to the instrumental. Naw people like that violence get's them going.
yeahhhhhhhhhhh. There's something about them drums, esp now that we have people making beats on computers. nikkas know how to hook up some drums like no others. It's hella weird lmao.
We use what we got. Metroboomin isn't any less talented than any of those negroes and cacs from the 80's that used live drums.
Naw, me and my cousin were talking about that yesterday. I was watching a David Bowie documentary and they'd be on some "Lets call Kevin Rowland, he'll know which drums to lay down" lol, now we got young dudes out there like "okay lemme thru drums on it *click click*".
Hip hop isn't my culture so I'm not criminalizing my culture. The rappers criminalize the music by rapping about participating in selling drugs, gun violence, and gang affiliations.
The violence is in the lyrics from the rapper not the drums. The rapper's responsible for the words that are coming out of his mouth like the rest of the people in this world.
Hip hop has a profound influence on our lives from how we dress to how we talk, so you're telling me kids from broken homes who look up to Rick Ross/young thug etc as role models don't want to mimic their lifestyle or do the dumb shyt they glorify in their music ? I defend rap to the death but nobody can tell me there isn't some truth to that.
Facts. I love gangster rap as much as the next man but for someone to tell me with a straight face that it doesn't have ANY influence on the youth listening, especially those who don't have parents/positive role models, I gotta give them the
