Post Mike Brown: Hip Hop doesn't feel right to me anymore

Focus isn't the artist

It should be just as much a focus. Our people are always willing to blame whites, but rarely look within and accept accountability. The relationship is symbiotic, and the artist as much to blame as the corporation.

 

[deaddd]

Turns out 99% of the entire global white population has never owned a slave. We are all slaves white people and black people. And low income white people fall for rap music too.

In fact, the government uses DISPLACED AGGRESSION.

Instead of fighting your OPPRESSORS, they lie to you to displace your aggression.

Years ago, low income white men wanted to revolt. They didnt know what to do or who to blame for their problems. The US Sent them overseas to kill "their problems," much like they still do. The ones that stayed in USA were told black people were the source of their problems, so they displaced their anger on them by joining the KKK or other racist extremist groups.

The government wants you to blame white people (or anyone different) and not them. They want you to blame your neighbor and not your master. And it goes for people of all color, this is not a game of color, except when it comes to dividing us with the media.

It's not me vs you or black vs white. It's us vs them but they've got us fighting over bullshyt.

Why?

Would love for the CACs who post here to chime in (interesting to see how you guys feel)

ive been jaded on hip hop for a while now. i really dont even bother checking for new artists anymore other than a song or two because theyre typically garbage. the last artist i checked for when he came out and through his career was lupe

i know very few of them are capable of putting out quality albums and i hear their singles over and over again at clubs so im all set with that right there. ill check reviews every once in a while but very little has seemed interesting to me. ill still listen to my old tracks in the library and if some of the older artists drop something new but otherwise . just not into most of the shyt spit now..has me looking back at the ying yang twins like theyre lyricists

The majority of rap is a brainwashing tool....

it encourages indifference

what is the absence of indifference?...unconditional love

there is an agenda...

what happened in the garden of eden?

satan(fixated on his beauty as lucifer)deceived eve=superiority complex(hides feelings of inferiority)
adam chose to listen to eve over GOD(isn't a respecter of persons)=inferiority complex(hides feelings of superiority)?


the story of cain and abel

cain harbored a superiority complex(hides feelings of inferiority)
abel harbored an inferiority complex(hides feelings of superiority)?

there are connections everywhere...right infront of our very eyes

I don't see a solid connection between hip hop and mike brown, to be honest.

Because there isn't one. Racist cops been killing us since we was in the Cotton Club listening to Count Basie. While the music is more or less trash (I'm 26 and listen to the stuff I listened to in High School and early college), you're a fool if you think you're being targeted because of your taste in music. The music is destructive, but that's not why they out there trying to cut your neck, bruh.

Hiphop is a b*stardized entity polluted with no talent artist, and driven by those seeking monetary gain and no love for the genre. Its become a mockery on social media. There are no more creative engines molding the genre but true hiphop heads are only left with bullshyt to listen to.

Racist cops were killing us because we were anti-system.

Much like what happened in ferguson we stood on a united front against the system that doesn't serve and protect.

The majority of the hate crimes being committed against us now aren't because we're against the system.

The brother that got shot in Wal-mart wasn't marching for voting rights?

Eric Garner wasn't apart of a non-violent MLK organized protest?

Trayvon Martin was walking home


Mike Brown was told to get out of the street...



We're on the reciving end of sterotypes that an entertainment world we don't own project the worst images of us.

 

[Vice Gripp]

These artists ( and we're generalizing ) but follow me..

These artists are poor. Their socioeconomic circumstances usually dictate why they "sell their soul" without reading the slave deal they sign.

A lot of us didn't have responsible parents who taught us to value education or understand asserts and the power of money. The difference between wealth and riches or riches and power.


Federal and state Legislation gave people in our socioeconomic circumstances the short end of the stick.

Cointel Pro infiltrated our united fronts against the system and broke us down/divided us from the inside much like the agent provocateurs that infiltrated the peaceful Mike Brown protests and taunted the police generating a violent response from the police on innocent people practicing their constitutional right to assemble

Yet we're to blame?

Legislation from Reagan and Clinton broke down and even more vulnerable black community.

Reagan's legislation let crack in the country (then he decided to fix a problem he started with a fauxed drug war that locked black men up by packs and droves)

Clinton reformed Welfare and gave women incentives to get more money from the government if men weren't in the home.

Yet you ask us why we sell out for a dollar ?

We had our own community within the nation .. We had two

Your elders and ancestors burned one down

And blew one up..


And you ask why?


We don't come from a true position of power in a capitalist society. If you came from these socioeconomic circumstances.... In this country


You would think about putting your white soul up for sale too..



That's why I'm not focusing on the artists. Most of them are ignorant end users

Firstly, don't fukkin lump me in with anyone. A) You don't know me. B) My family immigrated to this country through Ellis Island in NY in the 1930's. C) My family (mostly my dads side) grew up dirt poor and had nothing. So don't tell me what "my ancestors" did. My family come from 3 countries where the government and people slaughtered my kind in masses.

I know about COINTEL Pro and how the FBI disbanded the BPP and US Organization. I didn't mean to generalize, I apologize if you took it as so. My post was to highlight personal responsibility; not just of artists... but of YOU. Of all of us. I don't need a history lesson on why the CIA gave the coke to Freeway Ricky Ross so they could illegally fund the contras of Nicaragua, or any more info on Grisella Blanco and the Cocaine Cowboys era of Miami (I was born and raised in Miami / Lauderdale area). Your entire post is excuses (you may call them reasons) but I say personal responsibility trumps all that shyt.

You can change your circumstances. You can't change which path you choose in life once you've gone too far down that road. AND instead of using your "go-to" arguments, if you actually would have given me the fukkin respect of reading my post and listening to the song I posted, you would have heard the bar I spit in it that said "the price of my soul couldn't fit on a check homie".

So you can miss me wit that shyt. If you wanna have a REAL discussion, you should respect what others are saying enough to read it if they are equally doing the same for you. This entire thing is about being equal... but because imma "cracka ass cracka" (which I am not) and that is YOUR perspective, youuuuu will NEVER see me as equal to yourself. Which is the entire fukking problem in the first place!

A lot of the people you tagged are in their late 20s/early 30s who are productive, producing members of society. All grew up on Hip Hop and heavy gangsta rap. The difference is we had someone in our lives, whomever it ended up being, that smacked/talked some sense into us. Should we blame Hip Hop directly for the lack of positive role models in local communities and good people across the board? I think we should blame capitalism for putting 'millionaires' like dumb athletes and even worse rappers at the top of the 'who you should be like' list because they make so much money and SPEND so much money.

People were shytty before HIp Hop, if something happens and it magically ceases to exist, people will be shytty people just the same. Just like if they stopped making rap music the buying and selling of marijuana wouldn't change. White people being afraid of black people is as old as this country. White people harming black people is as old as this country. fukking sad but none the less true.

I think the CEOs are out for a buck and will stop at nothing to get it. Im sure some are racist but money rules everything around us. If all these people who are legit pissed about low quality Hip Hop, the radio, and the like...move your money. Buy a Sirius subscription and listen to Backspin all day. Don't go to YG shows because everyone else will be there. Go to the underground shows that people seem to clown cuz its 'a room of 16 white people/hippys'

I say it here a ton. Everyone has no problem getting into a club, buying over priced alcohol, smoking a ton of weed, buying new shoes....but people can't spend 10 bucks a month supporting artists who put love into their music instead of fear/hate.

This post....... this post is SO fukking golden lol. Especially the first part. There are hardly ANY role models left for our generation. All they perpetuate is stereotypes and negativity. They don't want the people to be inspired to make waves. Great post.

So you're a white man who is aware of social constructs put into place by your people and other enlightened ones and you're telling me they're excuses


And I should just lift myself up by the boot straps?


Correct?

They might not have been anti-establisment or anything, but make no mistake: those brothers are martyrs in what could end up becoming a new movement at best and a full blown war at worst. A lot of Hip-hop, in its current form, is a smokescreen. It pacifies the simple, influences the misguided and gives ammo to the hateful.
Again, not saying the music doesn't have any influence, just saying that the Trayvon-Garner-Brown situations have very little to do with hip-hop.
In my very humble opinion.
