Well right here is where we're disagreeing. Too many cats on here have told me verbatim that its "just entertainment" and that it has zero affect on the actions of the masses. I can't agree with you that we are aware and always have been. The coli tells me differently.
Are you saying the intentional manipulation of hiphop is a "conspiracy theory"? First you said that we "get it", but now it sounds like your dismissing the "powers that be" who are in actual control of the artform. Do you believe in the "powers that be" and the intentional manipulation of hiphop?
Or are you putting words in my mouth and creating an argument that im not arguing in the first place: that we have no control over what we hear and listen to?
Even if its the latter, its not that simple as "turn off the radio"
