Ice Cube: Hip Hop Was Engineered To Fill Up The Penitentiaries

II don't know what any of that means. I don't know who your statement was directed towards, but I personally don't want ANY rapper pushing death, drugs, and destruction on Black folks while lining the white man's pockets. Also, I didn't post or quote any lyrics in this thread, so I don't know what you mean there, either. I don't know who was cherry picking.
What I do know is that Special Ed, Lyor Cohen, Ice Cube, Dr. Umar, Glasses Malone, Lord Jamar, etc. were all correct when they said that THIS version of the music is designed to lead young Black people to an unfortunate end. You can pretend that it's not happening; but in the real world, we're dancing to our own demise (while the devil gets rich).
"B b bu but It got me bytches and street cred!"
"Its the voice of the streets. Yeah, you a lame if you avoid jail time cause you a square."
Which version because if we go down that rabbit hole, its a lot of music since the late 80's that have pushed that on the youth including Cube. There's no such thing as this version.
Semantics. Like I said, I don't want ANY drugs, death, and destruction being pushed on Black people. I don't care about the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, or any other "yeah, buts".
If your only response to our kids dying today is that Scarface & Kool G Rap were on that gangster shyt 30 years ago, then there's nothing else to talk about. I'm focused on the now.

Imagine a “black man” calling another black man a “clown” because he says there is a deliberate agenda to imprison black men with the help of music?

So calling out his hypocrisy is more important than calling out those in power that push negative entertainment on black youth to lead them closer and closer to prison?An agenda he was a willing participant of. Through multiple eras and decades to boot
NO IT DOESN'T.

HE FOUND OUT THE LABELS
OWNED THE PRISONS.

Which labels own which prisons?
There was a tight little YouTube video out on this once. I agree with cube to a certain extent. Hip hood was not design to fill prisons. Hip hop started as orgs icslly as we all know it to have started. Then it got conscious. CHUCK, X Clan, BDP started teaching and we were listening. They saw how the positivity was reaching us and we were listening so when cube and NWA came out with they shyt, cacs pulled the kill switch on conscious rap and paved the way for gangsta rap to warp our minds. Now the private prisons shyt… that is facts. Most republicans politicians have stock in it. That’s why they are Pro-Gun, pro-police, etc. the more shooting, crime, arrests, the money they earn in Their prisons. Facts!!
