Is it time to shame black entertainers?

[MikelArteta]

just looking at this whole young thug,birdman, lil weezy its sad these gremlins are part of our community brehs

When these highly influential and visible rappers GLORIFY and make long established gangs, drugs and guns seem "cool", then OUR own mindset towards those things wont change. Sorry, but your constant caping for black genocide music is getn more pathetic every thread. How bout wanting these rappers to rap about NOT joining these long established gangs and STOP flashing guns in vids and rapping about molly and lean? How bout they start rapping about the white supremicts that PURPOSELY flood black neighborhoods with drugs and guns and bring awareness to that? Would u have a problem with that or would u prefer them to continue GLORIFYING those things and taking attention AWAY from the white supremicts who are responsible and the root of the problem?

breh i mean look a tthis birdman is a multi millonaire

young thug a 22 year old man yet both couldnt give up the drugs, money and violence.

It's all about the next generation being better than the last going forward never backward.

We always here the excuse bu bu but Mobb Deep, Tupac, Biggie, Nas, Jay-Z, N.W.A made music about guns and violence..

But after Tupac & Biggie got killed people continued to keep making music about guns and violence for 20 years.

Now in 2015 we keep hearing the same sad story last month was Chinx Drugs this month was Capo from Keefs crew.

So the question becomes why are black people still making rap songs about selling drugs and killing each other?

And you can't blame the environment or deflect and say "it's just entertainment like Arnold in the Terminator".

Because it's not just entertainment it's a culture when you are expected to keep it real and live your lyrics.

look at mobb deep, dudes been platinum artists since 1994 almsot 21 years yet they are still tlaking that dun, guns, vioence and drugs ish

Take one famous rapper and have him make two songs with the same beat.

One song about painting houses, doing carpentry and rebuilding the ghetto and the other about selling dope and killing nikkas.

See which song is more popular and "cool" then you will understand the state of black America and why things are the way they are in 2015.

culture gonna culture......

Listen to what they say in their most recent interview when asked for "A message to the youth" at the very end of this video.



"Be better than us" "Be better than the last generation" "that's what i tell my kids, each generation should be better than the last one"

- Get rid of the gangs / Change them into some sort of organised Black Mafia to protect churches, Black neighborhoods. (That's my imagination talking, you don't need to take it seriously.)
- Have more conscious rappers, rapping about elevation.
- Have more Black owned businesses with Black clients.
- More Black Twitter.
- Unity of African-Americans, Africans, Afro Carribeans.

In a way, many people see African Americans as a representation of Blacks. Africa is slowly elevating herself, if Black Americans start doing the same, it might be easier to fight White Supremacy.

Some brehs never care

The main focus needs to be on cleaning up black neighborhoods.

You can get rid of all the outside bullshyt but when a black neighborhood has broken families, a 33% unemployment rate, long established gangs, drugs and guns, underfunded schools with bad teachers, etc, many of the same problems will persist.

This. Rap music isnt even top 20 on the shyt we gotta address. Get rid of rap and the same problems and conditions still exist.

There is no way to shame them since we are not a community. The only thing we share is our shade of skin and that is not enough to enable any type of meaningful group dynamic.

Don't believe me?

Check the multiple threads about the Church massacre and see how many posts blame the victims even though we have the same complexion.​

That's why I'm glad I grew up in another era. Lames would get clowned out of existence. Too many real nikkas gave bytch nikkas passes for monetary gain or love from the hoes

 

[Oceanicpuppy]

I feel black people should let these people go. Stop supporting them. I don't support them.

The economic culture has to change, shaming them on social media will not outlast the support that get residually from the ignorant ones

 

[Samori Toure]

How in the Hell did Black people go from a talent like Stevie Wonder to something called young thug? I feel so bad for this generation. You all have no idea what kind of music that Black people created and it was not a bunch of degenerate shyt about killing or stealing or degrading women or worse yet women degrading themselves.

Just listen to the craftsmanship in a song called "Golden Lady" by Stevie Wonder. He actually wrote music. Played instruments. Sang his ass off and made other people happy to hear his music.

 

[wild100sboy]

I think rappers not promoting trash and self hate would be a great start to fixing the community whether you think so or not.

The older I get, I really hate trap/drill/shoot em up/bang bang music

flith

Clear up to what a "lame" or a "real nikka" is
