Hip Hop Is Delicious Poison. Glorification Of Murder Is My Issue With Hip Hop. No Boundaries Exist - Dee-1

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

This is why I don’t respect Dee-1 (in addition to being revolted by a lot of religious music personally) clout chasing instead of counter-programming with quality music. Dee-1 has no quality music.

All he can do is mask his critique is presumed unearned superiority.

so why can’t conscious artists make stuff people want to hear?

this conversation is about rap and how it affects Black people, really Black youth. not relevant to you.

I’m black. I agree rap affects black youth.

Why can’t Dee-1 make “quality” music that resonates?

Kanye had to make Jesus Walks…and I DESPISE religious music of any form

(Steering the conversation back to the posted interviews) Which is exactly what Dee-1 and other activist rappers are trying to do by speaking to the youth, condemning the murder of Black people, promoting education, calling out the promotion of Black genocide to impressionable youth, and other activities.
Unfortunately, like you said in an earlier post, that message & those messengers are "corny".
Maybe Dee-1 and people with a similar message should stop actually standing for something and just give away turkeys instead.

Dee-1 should probably stop rapping. I agree.

The thread topic isn't about whether or not you like Dee-1, Kendrick Lamar, Mos Def or any other rappers that you feel the need to tell us that you don't like.
This thread is about the glorification of negativity and it's effects.

I’m black.

Yeah. Cant argue anything else I said so you run to distraction. Address what I said.

Why do all these conscious artists suck?

If Dee-1 is still an active rapper, and he can’t counter-program with quality music, then I dont care about his opinion.

There are two jobs he can have:

• Rapper
• Activist

If he can’t be a successful rapper, leave the music to the pros and just be a full-time activist and talking-head. All this other shyt is covering for the fact he can’t make better music.

"People" =/= your personal taste(s).
YOU may not like the music, but don't portend to speak for everybody. Also, like I said in my last post, this thread isn't aboit your personal tastes. Let's stay on the topic.

I'm not here to defend Dee-1, and he's not the subject of the conversation. If you want to just talk about him or your opinion of his music, then you should create a new thread.

So why does Dee-1 speak for “hip hop” then?

This is my problem with backpackers. They love speaking and gate-keeping because they can’t produce shyt anyone wants to hear.

Yes, music is influential and can have negative messages. So where is Dee-1’s music?

OBJECTIVELY, his shyt is largely trash. But we’re not allowed to say that because yall think his message, of music you dont listen to, is more important.

How does this make sense to you?

Again, Kanye made Jesus Walks. Thats the complete example of how to do this and guys like Dee-1 would rather whine to the refs about how unfair entertainment is.

Again, you want a conversation about your personal likes & dislikes. That's not the topic of this thread. We are talking societal/cultural issues, not who's on your playlist.

shyt ain't even about Hip Hop anymore. I miss when dudes where on that tip. Dope beats and rhymes. Crews ripping tracks.
