The reason I made this thread was because hip-hop is a black genre that came from reporting injustice and inequality in the low income sectors of America and beyond. The Mike Brown situation is a very real and concerning chapter in the history of a group that has been on the receiving end of injustice since it's first arrival into the Americas. And to be honest, with all of the factors put in the equation, it can and most likely will turn int a situation where everyone else could possibly be at risk. I don't expect entertainers to speak for the issues of the common man and woman nor should anyone else expect to. But this is HIP-HOP!

The genre where artists such as Immortal Technique, Paris, Boots Riley, M1, Stic.Man, KRS One have addressed the inequalities of the system and it's injustices towards it's citizens, specifically in the context of black American life. I should say...I expect it at this point...or used to.

What do we have now but a bunch of pacified adult toddlers more concerned with repping high fashion, money, materialism, hoes, and everything else that really doesn't matter in the scope of things if any of us that tried to live that life or listened to these rappers could lose their life at a moment's notice at the hands of police or others and be blamed for their own murder.

It's become really shallow and the general silence most of these rappers have offered in response to this situation has proved to me they are nothing more to me than puppets of the same bourgoisie that birthed the struggle that birthed this genre in the first place.

Exactly But they the first ones with their chest out repping the Gay Community hard. Hip Hop isn't the voice of the voiceless, Its the voice of Baldwin Hills

Jeezy made a career off rapping about selling dope and destroying the black community now he doing photo a op for his album.

Fraud ass rapper...

I truly believe Pac would've gotten so many ppl together. Not just punk ass rappers, I'm talkin street dudes from all over, Blacks with money that actually care about their ppl, young ppl, etc.

But, we're stuck with bytch ass rappers who freely promote white fashion designers and alcohol makers

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Damn I miss Pac
