They never brought DMX to my school though. I would’ve loved if they brought Foxy Brown personally but it never happened. You can’t bring an artist like this to a school and think there won’t be any backlash
And that’s why black schools is dogshyt. Black ppl are not dark skin cacs. That’s all these schools try to turn these kids into.
And the badass kids who rebel against the lame shyt end up being a shytty face for a very profitable part of our culture that we refuse to teach because black teachers and administrators want to compete and be accepted by their white counterparts.
Music production should be taught in all schools and especially black schools. It’s such a huge and seminal part of the black identity and educators pretend it’s just a phase. No, it’s a phase for cacs who say shyt like “i loved radiohead in hs” cause rock and roll and all other forms of black culture is a phase for them. GROTD was hard in middle school and it’s still hard today for us.
Do cacs even use the word “classic?” Is any cac singer who came out around the time of Ye and 50 still relevant as them today? It’s because black culture is a phase for cacs. Not for nikkas. Same thing we rock with as teens, we listen to on a daily basis still. Cacs ain’t riding round listening to Britney and limp bizkit still.
It’s crazy how much the studio process mirrors the classroom. U gotta be quiet at times and focused. Not many ppl can sit around quietly while a producer works on the same bar or two for 5-10 minutes.
If students saw how tedious the media process was, they’d see these artists as hard working individuals instead of magical clout magnets. It would also give them the purpose they need to focus and then they would be able to transfer that focus to other activities.
They’d also be able to decipher what’s real and not. What they should take from these artists and what they shouldn’t replicate.
But the jews gon make sure media literacy is not taught in the classroom.
Not having real conversations in the classroom about sex, family, relationships, and culture is just as bad as leaving young ppl to figure it out for themselves.
Without media literacy, theyll replicate all of Sexyy Red’s mistakes and none of her virtues.
Maybe if ppl weren’t so one dimensional, we’d be offered something more complex than this two party system.
