Black women are collectively fed up with the stereotypes and their negative image portrayal in the industry…. Are we about to see a shift?

Wake me up when it happens

PE debuts a year and a half before NWA. Back then that was a big difference.

PE's first album, "Yo Bum Rush The Show," releases in the beginning of 1987.

NWA's multi-artist COMPILATION, releases at the end of 1987. They weren't even a cohesive group yet!

PE's second studio album, "It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back," releases Spring 1988, goes Number One on the Billboard
Top Black Albums chart.

NWA's first, studio group album, Straight Outta Compton, releases at the end of the Summer 1988. It peaked at Number 9 on the Billboard Black Top album chart.

It should be noted that Dre and Yella during 87/88, are also having success with the World Class Wrecking Cru on
Black R&B radio with the single "Turn Off The Lights." The traction of that song precedes NWA's blowing up.

While KDAY radio in Los Angeles is playing PE's "Rebel Without A Pause," in NYC, the birthplace of Hip Hop, no NWA is playing
other than the affiliated R&B of "Turn Off The Lights."

This is irrelevant. Like I said PE And NWA existed during the same period

The people made a choice

And to be honest I don't think you wanna go in depth about the realities of that choice

What they gonna rap about?

Once Public Enemy got off the airwaves, it was a paradigm shift that negativity that many claim that doomed the black community as a whole.

Thing is progressive music actually has to SOUND GOOD tho and much of it does not

 

[Unemployed GM]

There was no PE-NWA hand off. They were out at the exact same time

The people made a choice

The way y'all romanticize the PE era like black folks were about to revolutionize en masse after It Takes A Nation is insane

The thing to remember about PE and NWA was the music was good as well innovative. These rappers are not even trying now.

 

[The Realist Perspective]

Shade Room is a cancer. Pushing constant negativity in a positive light.

This wave was spearheaded by independent women and gays. Let's not forget. shyt been corny. If there was a balance in the female rappers at the top then it would be less of a problem. This is a fan made problem. Timbaland tried to market tink. There's a lot of failed non thotty rappers in the last decade. The audience has rejected anything but the filth.

only female rapper i ever liked enough to actually cop their album was Lauren Hill.

Rhapsody was that person for me.

It is what it is. But you can't feed a vegetarian hot dogs

You can if that vegetarian is starving.

Weaken the black family unit, flood black neighborhoods with drugs, redline, etc. that laid the groundwork for us the accept the dysfunction and had started decades earlier. On top of that a lot of Black owned entities like Motown records which was sold in 1988 by Barry Gordy were co-opted by conglomerates who only cared about the bottom line. Everything has to be placed in context.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

you have to target the people who own the mediums that pump out this content.

All these blog owners

record producers.

gotta go

Breh you can upload an album straight to Spotify. Still blaming the music distribution system is outdated. Like a decade or more. It's such an old and false retort. Blogs don't break artists anymore. We went through a whole era of people getting signed off Soundcloud and YouTube with their whole image and content intact because they have a following. So much so the industry stopped developing artists and started waiting for the internet to give them picks. Those picks are based on fan demand. Not industry mandates anything.

If people want to see change then you will have to move past the idea that the mediums will be where the change is made and not in the culture. The content is directly from consumer demand. The artists and customers have a direct feedback on the internet outside of the industry. This is what people want. Nothing was forced. All those conspiracies about programming and agendas shaping what hip hop became are scapegoats. Hypothetically you take down those mediums and people just put this shyt up online and it continues to thrive because the demand was never addressed. That's the reality of the times, people still want this shyt. Nobody need a label to make music or sell music today. You not ending nothing by taking that angle. It will just be failed censorship and the content will be accessed on different platforms.
