Can just say if you a grown man and you listen ti Future you lost. Melle Mel endorsed Cocaine...Bg and Baby/Ray Charles endorsed Heroine...some artist endorsed Sherm...some endorsed crack....while everyone at one point endorsed weed. The culture is ALWAYS inflluenced the music...the music never influences the culture..nikkas been leaning for decades....popping has been going on for decades...drug culture has been going on for decades....today we just have a bunch of know it all hypocrites pretending like todays artist are worse somehow then artist they came up with....some of these clowns still listen to artist who were major champions of drug culture....but it was different then....
The "back in the day" and "this generation" bullshyt is strong with these nikkas. Like where were these concerns when I was watching B.E.T Uncut on a week night in middle school?
Where were these concerns when I was listening to the OGs moving kilos of coke and busting their guns, while Dragon Ball Z was playing on the TV in the background?
But god forbid we blame parents for shytty parenting because then we'd be blaming the previous generation as opposed to just blaming rappers and kids since we need to keep the nostalgic, bullshyt, back in my day rose-colored glasses narrative going. Back in your day you had a crackhead uncle, another uncle doing 20yrs in supermax, a cousin who was being molested by another uncle and everyone just turned a blind eye, and mad other family members living their lives in the bottom of a bottle of whiskey. If rap is the problem, then it's always been the problem. Don't act like the shyt just became a problem now because it's not the era you grew up in. If you do want to act like rap just now became the issue then you're gonna have to admit y'all were just that much more fukked up inherently back then to explain all the bullshyt you dealt with despite old school rap apparently being a paragon of good morals and life lessons.
