LAPD claims young burglars were inspired by YG/rap.......

Them dudes would have learned the same sh*t from somebody on their block. Clearly, they had nothing positive going on in their life if a rap song motivated them to buglary.

Dudes would have just ended up being Kevin Hart on "Paper Soldiers"

Breh, you know I'm with you on the effects of Hip Hop and how it influences our youth. I'm with it. But this sh!t here just doesn't add up I mean who do you know would sit there and literally tell a cop "I did it because the song by YG made me do it...". That sh!t just doesn't sound right.
And many police depts have tried this before. They're always claiming that somebody told them that a rap song "inspired them" to commit a crime.
Whether it actually did is up for debate, I'm just not buying this whole idea that the burglars themselves told the LAPD this.

ESPECIALLY considering that the LAPD was already upset with YG over the song anyway

Nobody who commits a series of crimes or a hardened criminal got that way because of media.

Just like years ago they tried to pin a kid for shooting people because he played halo. shyt parents will always point the figure at someone else.

Cacs really need to be more worried about this banger

Doubt me now

That whole album was flames for its time. That takes me back to HS, riding around Orange mound banging this joint. The same year my subs got stolen out my whip.

So was the consensus the same when Biggie dropped gimme the loot?

They rap what they lived...

It's just that the kids from my generation are not as stupid as the kids today.

Gangster rap is poison to the black community.

Think critically about that statement. It makes no sense. The government is poison to our communities.

U know phonzi saw this and went

Why we always looking to point the finger elsewhere? The government not making YG make songs on how to rob Asian peoples houses...

Yall act like rap doesn't influence teens but it does.

When the whole Blood thing got popular in rap --- guess what all the high school homies started repping during the mid 00s

My nikka came to me like "you think we should join the Bloods for protection" ....I was like "nikka we in East Atlanta, not LA"

Now you could say they woulda joined a gang anyways --- but they specifically got interested in the Bloods because of cats like Lil Wayne, Gucci, Dipset, etc.

The music we listened to influenced these nikkas a lot and I was one of a few nikkas who peeped it even back then at our age.

This story may be false but it happens.

Why do y'all so hard to deny the power and influence of hip-hop music??

Breh stated how he's seen the affects from his own experience and you come running in dismissing it.

Hip hop is the single most influential artform on the planet. Do y'all not realize that? Is it an insult to y'all when ppl state the fact that hip-hop is the most influential artform on the planet?

Why do y'all get so defensive when ppl suggest that hip-hop culture has an influence on certain people?

Think about that statement. Wrong again. It's all connected.

@PhonZhi i wholeheartedly agree with you....however we can't blame everything on the artfom....art imitates life, not the other way around... flockin is literally a go to hustle for most young nikkas here in l.a.

I think it had a lot to do with the weed game being taken over by dispensaries

Yes hip hop is influential and is full of propagated ideas...but so is tv and movies

I believe that everything we experience in life influences our decision making from the shyt we read, see, listen to and even eat so to just single out hip hop is irresponsible
