Rock N Roll depicted violence and excessive drug use....White America not labeling it the death of White America.
If Hip Hop is as influential as it is we'll all be killing each other in these streets and selling drugs. Some people are easily impressionable.
When a black person kills a black person blame hip hip ? But, when a white person does it...is it still hip hop's fault?
In the thread before i said , white supremacy is worse than drugs and hiphop for black america. People disagreed and basically said, " No, Hip Hop is worse"
Yes they did...there were protest etc... to get certain albums off the market (how old are you?).
It was more of an issue in the 70's and 80's when Rock was the music of white youth.

the difference between a white kid listening to rap, and a black kid listening to rap is that most of these white kids listen to this shyt as a goof. They dont take these gangsta dudes serious because for one...the music should be taken as a joke (thats how I take it)...and 2. they arent living amongst that shyt.
When you have music made by people that act and look like you...it normalizes the behavior.
Not only do you see disfunction all around you...you also see people who are rich and famous act the same way.
Problem is....these black kids dont know its a fukking joke...and its not real life.
Yes...its the parents job to police what their kids do...but unfortunately a lot of the parents in the hood are a joke.
My parents didnt let me listen to this shyt when I was younger...and I had examples of successful black people that made money via Business, jobs, entrepreneurship....so I knew I had options.
but dudes I knew in the hood didnt even think shyt was possible outside of selling drugs, or some low level factory job.
and im sorry..."white supremacy" is a cop out.
You cant sell drugs, get locked up, and then cry about white supremacy.
Show me a brotha that did all the right things...and was taken down by "white supremacy".
Every black man I know that is focused on the come up is getting theirs.
