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

[Vice Gripp]

Let's post pics of these presidents and CEOs who put these A&Rs on the dummy mission to find talent to keep these roles filled..

LoL bruh.. I just looked it up and now there's only 3 majors *facepalm*.

Universal Music Group - CEO & Chairman is Lucian Grainge - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucian_Grainge
Sony Music Entertainment - CEO & Chairman is Doug Morris - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Morris
Warner Music Group - CEO is Stephen Cooper - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Cooper_(businessman)

"Record labels are often under the control of a corporate umbrella organization called a "music group". A music group is typically owned by an international conglomerate "holding company", which often has non-music divisions as well. A music group controls and consists of music publishing companies, record (sound recording) manufacturers, record distributors, and record labels. As of 2007, the "big four" music groups control about 70% of the world music market, and about 80% of the United States music market.[3][4] Record companies (manufacturers, distributors, and labels) may also comprise a "record group" which is, in turn, controlled by a music group. The constituent companies in a music group or record group are sometimes marketed as being "divisions" of the group."

I assure you I'm not blaming hip hop or scapegoating hip hop.

My focus are on the enablers. The people who control hip hop from behind the scene I've stated that throughout the thread

Well yeah but this thread is 22 years late when Dre and Iovine took black awareness outta mainstream Hiphop but damn The Chronic was a great lp

This has been a very harsh realization for me.. I'm an Ice Cube fan since day 1..

But it's becoming quite clear that both he and Dre had something to do with selling out the genre but this system was being constructed before them.

It's more like the Birth of a nation/King Kong. Whites created both films which were riddled with stereotypes and prejudice

CREATED BY EDUCATED WHITE PEOPLE


And the impact the stereotypes had on the masses were disturbing to say the least.

So if I'm 22 years to late


To hell with Hip Hop.. It's owned by whites with black puppets.

Why can't we start something else?

Hop hop hasnt felt right for a very long time. There will have to be a lot of self reflection and introspection from all Black artists now. I know some of them want this Mike Brown pro Black unity feeling to blow over quickly so they can get back to business as usual, bottles, models, pills and the inane shyt they yap about. Many of these Black artists, are in a difficult corner right now and feel uncomfortable living in this pro Black era if thats what it ends up being. They are in a conundrum.
Most Black artists today would feel uncomfortable sharing space with an upfront and blunt Dead Prez type act, or an early Cube. If you base your career on pandering and dancing for cacs like 99% of the current industry, Dead Prez and Ice Cube are fukking up your money. You see them as scaring away potential white dollars you had intended to shuck and jive for. You know how it is even bringing a white friend around some Black folks. I dont think many rappers are ready to embrace a strong pro Black movement now in music. I dont think they have the strength.
The South for all the shyt they've flooded the market with, had the Geto Boys who were very political and social but this was a decade ago. I dont think none of these trap acts can sing anything different. And if we were to list the serious rappers with conscious music we'd end up at maybe 3 or 4.

That's the bottom line.

Not Cube. He kept his music pro-Black
It was Dre and Iovine vision that brought that forth. They had to hate when 2pac came out the system and his vision

Makes you wonder don't it?

Cube was the main one saying his music was for "white people" cuz they brought records. So dead all that "pro-black", he was pro get money.

Will you post my other comments as well?

Or nah?

Framing me based on some of my comments in a thread that has nothing to do with my topic seems like diversion.

You could've messaged me instead attempting to derail a 16 page thread

I also challenge you to find the posts that are substantive. I made plenty of substantive comments in that thread.

Please don't FoxNews me bro..

Crazy.

Pfft that definitely aint it

The work with rap is already working itself. even they can hand million dollar 360 contracts out to as many chief keefs and bobby schmurdas as they like but the market for those dudes is small and ever shrinking. the internet is a blessing cause without it we wouldn't have a J. Cole, Wale, Kendrick or even Drake in the mainstream. Just whatever create-a-thug jimmy iovine puts in front of you

My irony meter just exploded

Kendrick Lamar was signed to Interscope way before he blew up, Sosa wasn't. Kendrick is more of a Jimmy Ivoine creation then Chief keef ever was. Same goes for J.Cole, Wale and Drake, all more industry creations then Bobby Schmurda. In an era where gangsta rappers are no longer that popular its the street nikkas or 'negative' artists you are naming who are actually the ones who blow up organically without the industry co signs you're 'positive' rappers need to get on Bu-bu-but how can this be? After all the music business is in the business of attempting to destroy the black community via promoting 'negative' black artists ( how they do this i do not know since more whites listen to said negative black artists than blacks)

Or maybe, just maybe the music business is just that, the business of selling music. Supply and demand. We, the fans fuel the demand, we loved Don't Like, we made Chief Keef happen, but none of you self righteous fukks wants to admit to that, that would mean holding ourselves accountable for putting such a negative influence at the forefront of our culture, and we all know how nikkas feel about accountability It's so much easier to blame Jimmy Ivoine for signing a rapper we made hot

Both are to blame. K-Dot and Cole made their fanbase through mixtapes and grinded it out hard before they made their debuts on major labels. Keef got his shot on a major and fukked it up

How'd he fukk it up?

 

[Wild self]

How'd he fukk it up?

Smoking shyt with his friends instead of going to video shoots paid by Interscope and missing tour dates. He fukked everyone's money up simply cause he hard headed

Hmm... But if the goal was to promote negativity, these things would all be pluses. Instead he gets dropped and gets pretty much nothing from Interscope.

Also, his fans never bought his album and supported Kendrick instead. 2012 was basically a social experiment to see what fans would support, positivity (K. Dot) or negativity (Keef). K. Dot won, but these old ass execs continue to push negative images and still can't sell shyt.
