Truth.
Intelligence has no correlation to a piece of paper. You smarter than that Cali

Exactly and without completely dropping these negative elements we will never see the progress we desire. NEVER.
Gangster Rap culture has become so ingrained in how we identify ourselves that we refuse to let it go. And this isn't entirely our fault. If you have been consistently fed an image of what the epitome of a "real" black man should be (despite it being propaganda) , you will become that. Gangster Rap does a fantastic job encapsulating the anger, sense of hopelessness and rage that a lot of black men have in American society. The whole hyper-masculine ,hyper violent , over sexes caricature pushed in our music is really a rebellious act against white American society. A society in which we feel alienated and oppressed.
Unfortunately this caricature plays right into the hands of white supremacy and it always has. Furthermore this caricature that so many black men have came to identify (largely due to gangster rap) with so much is ultimately harmful to our community.
We dont need hyper masculine , hyper violent and over sexed men in our community. We need analytical and forward thinking men who have control over their emotions. We need men who can thoroughly navigate through this system of white supremacy without getting trapped by the countless pitfalls set in place. If this image of black men instead was pushed in our music, white America would have a huge problem on their hands.

I don't look up to them. like that. nikkas need ghostwriters for basic lyrics. I'm not impressed. you must be talking about creativity or sumn.
Some kats are natural smart with but head down roads other people think they should go.

Yall can't expect broke people to stay broke because of dignity.
All y'all saying that rap doesn't affect me so i don't care are fukking selfish. You're part of the reason our community is fukking stagnant. Guess what its affecting other black kids who will grow up to look at other blacks differently while sucking up to cacs who are the reason blacks spew that detrimental shyt in rap.
If not for kendrick lamar, j cole, chance and underground hip hop and other rap artists i would even listen to rap. But y'all would call me a c00n because i don't want to listen to music that plays a part in destroying my community.
nikka u talking about negative rappers but you out here falling for the media-driven okie dokie with this nikka Chance. Chance's dad was one of the nikkas who covered up Laquan McDonald murder, he a government sponsored rapper who's purpose is to be the "good negro out of Chicago" so they can keep fronting on the nikkas who really are in the hood out there. You probably think Vic Mensa is a true Chicago conscious militant soldier too huh smh.
Movies and TV shows promote negative stereotypes and nobody gives a fukk but for hip hop there always has to be scrutiny because of "negative stereotypes" maybe the black community wouldnt be so fukked up if the schools actually taught nikkas about black history and actually gave them proper books and computers and shyt. It aint hip hop's job to teach nikkas. If all of hip hop was on some conscious shyt the hood would still be shytty as fukk and the schools would still be worthless shytholes nikka.
This nikka @PhonZhi is really trying his hardest to get nikkas to stop listening to rap
nikka. Even if we all agreed with you (which we don't ) it still won't matter. This a fukkin message board, nikka
