Ever notice rappers promote vices not virtues?

[BlackJesus]

When's the last time you ever heard a rapper say "go to school, stay away from drugs and women are worthy of respect?"

When's the last time your heard a rappers lyrics promoting hard work and productivity?

How many times can you count shots being fired on rap tracks or those rappers mentioning killing other black men?

Ever found it funny that some of the wealthiest blacks got wealthy by constantly promoting negative, shytty stereotypes about black people and white people seem to love them and go to their concerts in droves? Whites ask them to go on interviews, invite them to parties, and roll out the red carpet for buffoons with gold teeth, goofy chains and ignorant ways of speech. A modern minstrel show. Ever thought that was suspicious?

Ask yourself does the average black person get treated this well?

These are all questions we should be asking ourselves. How every other route to black wealth seems limited in scope, but if you promote poison and buffoonery to your own people we'll throw you unlimited cash, and give you all the girls, drugs and whatever else you could ever want.

Something to think about.

I'll leave you with "4 ways to piss off white supremacist" by Neely Fuller. Notice everything he says is the opposite of what rappers promote.

Plenty of rappers do this, what you talking bout?

For every rapper that promotes virtues, I can show you 100 that do the opposite.

And it's those rappers who tend to get shot or jailed, lol, not the ignorant ones. Case in point, Tupac.

Being a man ( translated to “real nikka”) with rigid set of principles and respect for the balance of the universe is one of the most prominent tropes in Hip Hop.

Everything changed after the Telecommunications act of 1996:

How the Telecom Act of 1996 impacted Hip-Hop

The Effects of Media Consolidation on Urban Radio | Future of Music Coalition

Telecom Act of 1996 – The Angry Black Rant

all of the hip hop that crossed over easier to colonizers was promoted and pushed to the forefront

Most rappers neither promote nor practice principles of any kind except getting money, buck-dancing, flexing, fukking girls and other general buffoonery and distraction

Supply and Demand. Theres music out there like that, its not as popular for a reason. There are a thousand other ways to encourage postivity in our community. I think its more effective, for example, to give a speech on why you should do well in school. The venue would be formal, and people would be more receptive of a message.

Making a track called "Read A Book" is just corny. You dont reach people by being corny. You CANT make a song about reading a book thats not corny. You play music to have fun, or relax. Theres nothing fun or relaxing about "go to school" track.

Bottom line, let go of this fantasy where you only here conscious rappers in the mainstream. And stop believing that just because the music may be too vulgar for you, that its a sign of the end of times. And detrimental to our community.

It just isnt. There are a thousand more important factors contrubuting to holding us back as a people, than the latest Lil Xan mixtape.

Stop it yall..

As I said, it’s a matter of decoding the message, I think that’s something many Black youth do well because it’s in wordage that relates to what we see.

Instead of I work hard and take care of my wife it’s

My bytch don’t pay for nun.

Instead of being a paragon of masculinity with a defined set of principles and sticking to them it’s

I’m a real nikka, never fold on my brother.

That it reverberates so deeply within our community is a testament to its role as the sole positive influence in the lives of so many.

When rappers wear Harvard and Howard and Yale sportswear (even tho college apparel has never been fashionable like that) what is that?



That’s not to say there aren’t blatantly counterproductive and malicious messages and artists that make certain music at the behest of white overlords but I do think the majority of Hip Hop stresses these universal values.

“If it wasn’t for the Bronx” you would REALLY see how dire our situation could be... there’s a reason Vladimir Putin bump Tupac in the Kremlin.

Ill name you a few who are currentnand still making music
Joey bad ass
Curren$y
Le$
Young roddy
Big Krit
J.cole
Bas
Ab Soul (albeit it’s the hard love kind of shyt, more so realizations)
Nick grant

See what you really saying is why aren’t mainstream rappers more positive and the fact of the matter is depravity is the most valued action in society.

So making a track called "Shoot a nikka" is not corny but "Go to school" is?

You don't even have to call the track "Go to school" and make it obvious. I think if it's obvious it's corny, but if you find a creative way to do it, it's much more acceptable and entertaining than "shoot nikkas dead".

Lil dikky, some goofy white rapper has a track called "Save dat money" and it has 10's of millions of views on YouTube so if he can do it, anyone can
