Poison Your Own Community While Uplifting Others: Usher Raymond Edition

[PhonZhi]

So you want songs that are on mainstream radio. Ok, this song sits at #22 on the Hot 100. The chorus of the song is:

Blow a kiss, fire a gun
We need someone to lean on
Blow a kiss, fire a gun
All we need is somebody to lean on

Here's the video:




Who is the target audience for this?

ok, you win. this song is very negative and promoting a destructive lifestyle.

Once again phonzi spitting facts..
I started to realize rappers and entertainers in general were deliberately dumbing themselves and audience down since I found out that prodigy from mob deeps great great grandfather founded Morehouse college. That's generational wealth and i strongly doubt dunny was forced to live the street shyt he's always glorified

That's mainstream, imagine the countless songs at the local level.

You left Rae Drummers(backwards) song with Nicki Minaj, Waka "No Hands", Akon has one, it's more.

Maybe that is it but c00ns are praising strippers like they cured cancer. I love em but it isn't deep.

Ok, so ive made a couple threads recently about how these black artists are quick to make negative, poisonous songs promoting destructive behavior aimed at the urban crowd and then make more positive "feel good" music when it comes to the pop/white audience:

Well anyways i turn the radio on today and hear this new song by Usher on a pop station:



Notice how "feel good" and "clean" it is. Kids can listen to it. It has an uplifting and motivating vibe to it. Now lets take a look back at Ushers' last urban marketed song



Big difference right?

He's making positive, uplifting joints when he links up with white cats for pop mainstream radio:



Meanwhile he's making songs telling our young black women its ok to strip on a pole when it comes to black radio.

I already know the usual paid trolls and agents are gonna flood this thread saying that there is no media propaganda agenda and that its a "conspiracy fantasy" as one poster put it.

Im jus putting the evidence out there. Its rite in front of us all. There is no positivity, motivation, or upliftment in black music. 90% of the music over the mainstream airwaves is promoting killing other black people, pushing dope to members of the black community, extreme materialism, promiscuity, and the glorification of the gang/prison lifestyle. These things are being made to seem "cool". Yall can keep denying whats going on but its having an affect on our overall mindstate as a people. Media propaganda is real yall and black music is being PURPOSELY manipulated. It has been since the early 90s when they saw how powerful and influential the hiphop genre was becoming. Media propaganda is a tool of white supremacy and systemic oppression. OUR music is being used against us.

Great thread. This needs to be an article and you show how different artists are doing the same thing. Great insight brother

Preciate it brother. Glad posters like you exist that are "aware" of whats going on or are aware enough to realize that what im saying isn't mere "conspiracy" or trolling. This is real and its right in front of our faces. Our own music is being used against us

Somebody that gets it. Rep coming your way. cats in here actually saying that blacks dont like positive music. The brainwashing is just that deep

Breh, there's a little bit of truth to this. Can't blame everything on the white man or the Jew or conditioning.

When these DJ's go to the club, where's the positive music? When they go old school with their set, are they mixing in "Express Yourself" or "self-Destruction" or "Be A Father to Your Child?" Whose fault is that? What the hood likes isn't far off from what radio plays, and what they do like that radio doesn't play is actually more raunchy and evil than what radio allows (drill being the big example of this: the beat alone is the most dominant sound in rap and it's the most menacing shyt ever. Try milking positivity out of that).

The demand for this more uplifting stuff isn't there. Hell, take a look at this board. Kendrick Lamar drops "i" and he becomes the biggest cornball ever. Meanwhile Gucci drops a mixtape and it's everywhere. R. Kelly goes back to doing old soulful shyt and y'all lamed out. He comes back and makes Black Panties and he has his best sales in a long time. The few that do make uplifting music suck at making it catchy enough for masses to like it. To dismiss it as black people being "conditioned" is almost like saying we're incapable of teaching ourselves, because people love to harp on the sad state of affairs in music but won't do anything about it.

Have't read the whole thread but I always why you americans don't fukk with positive/socially uplifting music.

He entire argument is senseless and he doesn't see how he is shytting on the same people he claims to be looking out for.

Rap music didn't influence him to do any type of shyt but it influences everyone else.

So he's smart enough to realize that it is something you should practice but no one else is

 

[KinksandCoils]

Things don't get played on the radio if it's not popular. Clearly people like hearing women getting called, thots,hoes,bytches. People like for rappers to brag about how much money they have and crime. Look at popular songs and tell me I'm lying

 

[Rekkapryde]

So... is this Usher's fault... or is this actually 'black radio's fault for being as limited and one dimensional as it has become?

But have we forgotten who controls black radio playlists?
