like anything else a black man invents, cacs steal and turn it to shyt and profit off it

the top rap acts are a cac and a jew

the top r and b acts are 2 cacs

explain to me how this is possible

Cause black folk took it as a hustle instead of an artform. When you abuse it, someone will play :cape: and take it away. Black folk honored ratchet artists for too long cause of image.

I think he's talking about the actual art form itself, not the other stuff. I remember when there was little to no violence in hip hop. Violence was at a minimum and only certain people did certain things, then violence took over the art form and it became acceptable for everyone to be violent. This is why my fav time of hip hop is pre-1987 when it still was more enjoyable with enjoyable songs.

When dude had beef they literally battled on the dance floor, microphone and with graffiti pieces.

Co sign on that one. When Hip Hop gave in to the negativity and people thinking that it's mandatory for you to have a criminal record to rap, is when I hated it the most. NWA post-Ice Cube is the worst thing that happened to Hip Hop and upon black masculinity in modern times.

I have to give some blame to KRS and Schooly D too.

What hurt hip hop is when guys like jayz started to turn it into nothing more then a hustle.

Sure, but the music was intended to get your mind off that. Now, it tries to keep your mind on that.
