“ A lot of these men who used to rap these things at times regret it and see how it was wrong, are now married to women and have daughters.“
So basically they’re like preachers who lived wild lives and cleaned it up when they exited their youth

YEA the point is plenty of negativity was pushed to young black males in the 80s-now.
Death Row—> Nelly and “Tip Drill” infamy (that college educated Black women pushed back against), up to today and Drill music
Ma'am, I don't listen to that type of (drill) music and I am not of the age where I am going to involve myself with that type of (drill) music. I grew up on conscious rap and Hip Hop culture. And when I listen to this genre it's not drill. I don't give two shyts about drill. Btw, Nelly doesn't represent Hip Hop music and culture. No respected Hip Hop head is going to mention Nelly or put Nelly in some list as the best of anything. The people that supported his music weren't from the Hip Hop scene. The men I spoke about weren't from the '80s. The gangsta rap I am talking about was around in the '90s, as it took over conscious rap.
Whenever I listen to modern rap it's this:
But usually I listen to styles like soulfull-house or broken-beat which came out of Neo-soul.
The women in Nelly's videos were the living and breading examples of the type of females they used to rap about in the previous generation, do you not get it?
You are absolutely clueless and don't know what you are talking about. Record labels prioritized dysfunctional behavior and that was rewarded, kinda like now with songs like WAP etc. This why you could see Megan Thee Stallion being featured in the "She Hulk" and being interviewed by Hillary and Chelsea Clinton. Although Hillary and Chelsea Clinton would't present themselves as such, by twerking in public at every opportunity they get the way Megan Thee Stallion does.
I already explained the backstory of how we got here. And you still refuse to speak on accountability for women, like a promiscuous City Girl who's having a "hot summer".
This is the guy who Nelly tried to battle, a real MC. KRS One (Knowledge Reigns Supreme Overnearly Everyone). And KRS One is one of the best on the mic ever, respected by Hip Hop heads.

"KRS One: “you're not a b!tch, you're a goddess." ('95)
Brown skin woman: “Brown skin woman, you a queen, not a hoe” ('93)
So men can push all that and then pop up and say they regret it? Then I guess the women in those spaces can do the same.
Why repeat something that has been proven not to be good? What type of illogical babble is that? And as I stated before, it was a male dominated scene. This tells that you don't know nothing about rap music and the history of Hip Hop. However, when it was male dominated the women in the scene were respected.
And of course you are not going to address that most of them have married Black women. You do know that 80% and more of Black men with wealth marry Black women, you do know that do you?
Most rap music was not even that what you claim it do be. It was gangsta rap as a sub-genre.
And yes, popping up and saying you regret it is eventually talking accountability. I wholeheartedly accept their apology.
It’s all trash to me, but we aren’t going to ignore the fact that women were basically influenced by the males IN THE SPACE.
What is all trash to you? I remember some complicit negoes back then complaining about that conscious rap. They wanted to have that party music like "top drill" and yes women too. Conscious rap has guided a lot of Black males and put them straight into Black men.
We can acknowledge that the public also gravitates to damaging images/music, but the men and women involved share equal guilt.
Actually most gangta rap was being purchased by a White audience, not Black youth. There are actually social studies done on this.

And it was conscious rappers being put under surveillance by the alphabet crew.

It's funny how we end here, since JPT was doing rap reviews. lol
And I almost forgot this song by Adina Howard where she barked like a dog in heat (…). This was before all the other songs and before Nelly.
