rap music ...WAS beneficial to black people because it started on the idea of more peace and less physical fighting/shooting. then it moved to the real conscious stuff that wasnt just conscious about africa/black history ,etc. but also consciousness(PE,xclan, etc) about whats going on with cism and the people in charge(ice cube). i mean Queen L. did have a song saying Who you callin a B....
i mean KRS did tell us about Edutainment.
a lot of black student unions were started because of that music PE and them were spitting . that even pushed a black college movement, and a college movement amongst young black folks in general, especially young brothas. so hiphip did some good. but as of today. uhhh i aint seeing it. lol.
the only good its doing is getting some hood boys out of the hood and making them rich. thats cool. but at what cost? the cost of them assisting THE MAN in ruining other blacks youths lives by way of messaging over the airwaves,internet, etc.
i'm at a loss for words...
great post right here.
