What point are you trying to make...?
chuck d has the knowledge maybe but he never was as good as the top tier rappers especially lyrically.
T/S makes great points
What they did was they segregated radio into two categories:
1. Urban
2. Top 40/Rhythmic
This makes it easy for them to give negative, stereotypical, and genocidal messages (sub-consciously) to urban listeners (who are predominantly Black) while ensuring that top 40 listeners (predominantly white) radio remains positive, uplifting and family friendly.
They don't call it "radio programming" for nothing
Anyways, I'm sure we've all heard rappers during their promos refer to their "Street Single" and "Commercial Single".
So everyone stop playing dumb and pretending like thread starter is imagining things or being paranoid

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
This guy also made an album trying to promote being a faithful husband and black people trashed it (half his fanbase was turning on him). I don't blame him none. And you act like 1 song overrides his entire catalog of "positive" music as you call it. I'm logging off the coli for a while. Ya'll are so shortsighted.

He is. He is also the textbook definition of the word "c00n" also. People like him are the ones that would alert massa of fellow slaves planning to escape for an extra blanket.

Why wouldn't I as a black man wanna hear some positive music.
Sad isn't it how lowly we think of ourselves.
Thats exactly what this current white-supremicists controlled hiphop culture is doing to us breh. Its making us believe that we dont deserve to be uplifted and motivated by positive music. Positivity is a "white" thing

Ask @Piff Perkins to post some mainstream pop songs that promotes murder, gun use, dope pushing and gang affiliation and see what he comes up with

In this specific case, hell yea i blame Usher. Dude is damn near 40 with kids who has been in the game for over 20years. He shouldnt have to be "reduced" to making generic strip club anthems. He should be setting examples on how to make "grown folk" music. He's not a naive Bobby SchMurda or Young Thug willing to sell his soul to get himself out the hood. He knows better. Fuk Usher

Only we have to look for and "find" positivity.
Dont yall get that yall are making my case with posts like these?
I am not complaining but this is a democracy and majority rules. Trust if zero people listen to those stations, you think advertisers are going to pay? No!Only we have to look for and "find" positivity.
Agreed!
