Birdman Gets Question On What he Is Doing For The Community & The Content Of His Music

[Juneya]

Can you post some of these songs that speak on systemic oppression? Also if you can post some mainstream songs that reports these ills please cuz 90% of the mainstream songs i hear glorifies criminal/destructive behavior and not "reporting the ills of the white mans society"

What is criminal and destructive behavior? exactly. Every rapper that makes a song about anything going on in their nieghborhood is speaking out against systematic oppression. They dont have to know they are systematically oppressed to be oppressed. And the fact that 90% of what you hear is criminal/destructive is criminalization. The songs are about reality. And even the "crime" aspect of the music is usually the surface level, used to perform witty metaphors, similies, and entendres. Its language arts. Mental entertainment. If you only hear destruction then you are criminalizing black kids performing art about their life and enviroment.

I started to make a list of songs, but literally ever artist on every album speaks about their circumstance in some way. There is positive in every song. I dont have to post songs that speak on systemic and systematic oppression, there is no way for you to feel that artist dont ever speak on circumstances affecting them in a reflective tone.

Lol. Can you post some of these songs promoting black entrepreneuralship?

Are you serious. lol... I can post some songs, or you can listen to music.
Rappers talk about starting their own business and promoting business through marketing all the time. They are walking testaments to entrepreneurship.

What do you need me to post a song called "Be an Entreprenuer"... you need a nikka to make a song called "The systemic oppression of our people"

And you called music, media propaganda.... Music exist as more than media propaganda. Since the beginning of man. Dont deminish the impact of music, and then go on to paint our culture and its use of music with a broad negative brush... Its ignorance.

Black people are waking up consciously

Why does everyone run whenever I request a few songs addressing systemic oppression?? I hear plenty of songs glorifying the SYMPTOMS of white supremacy (violence, drugs, gangs, etc) but I never hear about the root cause of these things: systemic oppression.

For instance, in the song Citgo by Chief Keef he raps "wit nyggers I don't play round, my boys shoot up the playground" . yes, blacks killing blacks is a reality and he raps about it constanly, but does he ever address the devils who intentionally created these conditions? All im asking for is a song or 2 where these rappers address the root cause of these issues. Thanks in advance

you want some krs bro?

Just asking my man @Juneya for a few songs with references to the ROOT CAUSE of these issues




"Nearly half of America's largest cities is 1 quarter black/ that's why they gave Ricky Ross all the crack"

Just a simple line or 2, That's all I'm asking for. These rappers stay glorifying the symptoms, but never address the cause.
