"Im An Addict and I Cant Even Hide It"--- Highly Influential Rapper/Puppet Of White Supremacy

[PhonZhi]

Brehs and Brehettes need to really take in that Black people are getting hit from every angle. There's no 1 correct answer; it's like trying to plug multiple holes in a sinking ship. Op's concerns is one of those holes

Thank u. Ive NEVER said that "rap music" is the sole cause of the black plight. That would be idiotic. I look at systemic oppression like a pie chart. There's many different slices to it. Media propaganda is one of those slices

The white man rewarded him with grammys, and other signs of success

Yep. Spread filth to the community and the white man will reward you

Most music artists use drugs

This is a fact

It is because art naturally spawns from a place of depression and music becomes the outlet of said depression. Pain fuels art and drugs numb pain. The grunge rock and metal music are the most expressive forms of rock in my life and their artists OD all day. Hip hop is no different

"I'm taking Acatavis the only thing relax me"
"Im an addict i cant even hide it"

he is telling the truth, he has a problem...just like Layne Staley of Alice in chains did for most of his career, like on "junkhead"

Spoiler: Junk head

This isn't a hip hop or a black community problem. Its a music industry NORM and always has been.

I used to think this was true. It fits that "tortured artist" narrative that Western media has been pushing since Billie Holiday.
Its not the case at all actually. Our overcompensation for musical talent, and the environments the artists spend their time in, are the reasons they tend to drug addicts.
Addictive personalities and inability to work a conventional job are what often attract people to music in the first place, and these are the people susceptible to drug addiction.
The hedonistic, and over-celebrated musical figures of the 19th and 20th century were given everything they could ever want, and it can truly grow boring after some time.
Existing in an overly liberal acquaintance group, you're bound to be offered hard drugs, and considering the vast majority of music artists do not have to worry about drug tests, or even sobriety in relation to making music, they get away with it.
There certainly are a lot of depressed and mentally ill musicians; but they are not the majority.
We need to stop coddling addiction as if it comes out of "artistic pain" as opposed to a personal/structural failure.
These artists aren't Greg House or Paul Erdos or even Billie Holiday, they're just regular people who want to party too much and make mediocre music.

I agree...but at this point at 31 years of age going on 32, I just can't pretend like this issue isn't and hasn't been disproportionately affecting black people more than whites.

White people do it too. Yes. White people are also the majority of this country's population, control the justice system, the pharmaceutical companies, and whatever else needed to flood the streets with legal and illegal drugs. They also benefit from racial privilege, which is one of the reasons drug use is seen with less scrutiny on them and more on us. We're not seen the same. Mike Brown turned into a demon in the eyes of white society because of smoking marijuana, yet white society is the same entity pushing for, using, and reaping the benefits of medicinal marijuana and decriminalization. While using drugs might be an issue that transcends racial lines, the consequences both groups face are not nearly as equal. Black people are more likely to get busted and go to jail for either using or selling drugs. Black people make up the MAJORITY of the people in prisons today.

The thing is, drug use has already crippled the black community in the 80s. Severely. We're still recovering from it. We still don't own anything in any industry that's substantial. We still have to go to others outside of our own race for employment. We still own a tiny sliver of this nation's wealth.

While recreational drug use is one thing I have nothing against, I'm not going pretend like this shyt ain't killing us more than them.

It's like some of you (not you in particular ofcourse) want to use the "white people do it too" excuse to diminish the effects of whatever negative behavior or activity we do and make it seems like it's somehow "okay" even given our current state. It's an escape from reality, but sometimes you have to face the grim reality of life and figure out what you're going to make of it. You can't run away from your problems forever.

Which is probably why drug use in the black community has been a prevalent factor. To run away from the realities of race and racism and the havoc it has wreaked since prohibition.

We (black people) have to start ridiculing and shunning these puppets of white supremacy. They are paid traitors to the community. They are spreading poisonous messages to the youth. Again this is by design. We are at a turning point here in Amerikkka. We need a change of consciousness to one day be able to combat white supremacy. We need the following generation of youth to think intelligence, education and responsible spending is "cool". This whole culture of glorifying blacks killing blacks, extreme materialism and leading a criminal lifestyle must be exterminated. Will these things continue to happen? Of course. This world will never be perfect. But i think that promting positive messages and images would have a huge impact on the overall mental health of our community. The black youth has the smallest "circumference of awareness" of any group. Meaning they have the smallest amount of rolemodels that look like them doing certain things. They have PLENTY of rappers and ballplayers to look up to, but what about doctors, engineers, lawyers, etc? This must change. The problem tho is that the people that spread the most filth are also seen as the coolest unfortunately

And what makes you think that the youth will listen to what we say?

 

[Poh SIti Dawn]

yep, the cycle continues. Threads like this always exposes how few of us TRULY knows how deep and elaborate white supremacy is. Yes people, "entertainment" is a form of systemic oppression also. Matter fact, its one of the most effective branches of white supremacy. Especially today in 2016

Crazy, these rappers talk about killing each other over a piece of paper with a slave drivers name on it, and they don't see anything wrong with this. That's how I know these dudes are jokes

I was in a two year relationship with a severely depressed rnb and hip hop artist....I've seen it live.

if you think future really sip as much lean as he says then you're a dumbass

Well that would make it even worse then dontcha think

Peddling a certain image to the youth while not REALLY being bout that life.

And what makes you think he doesnt?

 

[PhonZhi]

They wont at first. You have to realize that we have 400+ years of mental brainwashing to overcome. The mental shackles that we are currently under will take GENERATIONS to undue, if at all. This "change" that everybody talks about, we wont be alive to witness it. It would be an extremely long process.

i'm not disagreeing with the notion that its toxic to the youth, its just funny how future portrays himself as drinking that much lean when he doesn't lol

I wouldnt know. I hear its expensive. He has the money to support his habit

 

[Wild self]

He's right they basically try and make other black people feel bad for not being drug addicts by calling them, "lames, "squares" and "soft". You get ostracised from the black community if you can't understand futures drugged out mumbling it's a terrible situation.
