Positive Black British Music

[WaveGang]

The bolded is partly true I guess it depends on your background. I'd say Jamaicans were much more influential but I'm Jamaican myself. We use far more yard slang than US slang and it just sounds more natural. But you're talking about a phase that lasted about 2 years at the most(blood/crip thing). You're giving the US too much credit, channel u was far more damaging.

Again talk to those breddas who upped the crime rate in the 00's. Tell the mandem who got bun and the ones who caught the M charges it was all because of US gang culture and see what they tell you.

I'm jamaican too, its a big mixture but I'd say its more US, coz of rap etc. Alot of our slang comes from the rap music

The imitation of US gangs and creating factions based on US gangs i.e. bloods crips is still going on, wasn't no 2 yr ting. We like 10yrs deep now

The youngens are now imitating chicago gangs, using numbers 67 (cant remember the others)

You cant determine the illness of a tree by looking at the leaves, you have to look at the roots. If you told the same man on M charges, that they are where they are as a direct cause of slavery, they wouldn't wanna hear it. It's a subconscious thing.

We are always tryna compete and imitate US to show how "cool" we are. I can find you 50+ page threads of UK posters tryna compete with the US on murder rates and how hard the city is.

you cant scratch the surface to find a problem, it goes way deeper than that.

We got no identity, just look at how we imitate. It's beyond me how this videos 17mins

Alot of truth in this post I can't deny it. There is no real 'black british' identity I don't think we been here long enough for that. I see breddas who adopt hip hop culture as their own as lost souls. I know one of the youts in the first vid and he's an eediat so I'm not suprised at that.

As for the gang shyt AA's are the most visible group of blacks on earth so there's always going to be an element of influence. But to say that they only imitate the US is a fallacy imo. We didn't even call ourselves gangs it was 'crews' when I was coming up. That was the media

This post is 100% true. It's not that we imitate only US, but it makes up a big portion of the influence. Our views only differ coz im speaking from a mid 00s onward perspective,while I was playing with pokemon and you was able to see the earlier gang culture of 90s etc.

The majority of debates and discussions regarding black empowerment on and offline, is brothers with the same objective debating what they ultimately agree on.

We all wanna see black people rise up
