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

[DrX]

i been making threads about this but everytime these dumb nikkas get mad and continue to bang they young thug

1) Wrong, "urban youth" has never EVER been used to describe white kids. I mean come on, at least get your facts right.

2) I used "hiphopppity nikkaz" just as a placeholder for the current rap industry. I don't care about what those old dusty hiphop heads think, they are irrelevant.

3) Also wrong. Just look at that new Game song with half the industry. Most of those features artists have a criminal record. Several of those records are connected to violent behaviour.

But yeah, it's so much easier for you to hide behind the "he is a racist CAC" card.

This is why this issue will never get fixed. It's always "those racist pigs", and never "maybe we are guilty too"

As I stated before my honest CAC friend (I admire an honest CAC. At least we know where you stand)


This isn't about an artist who more than likely doesn't know any better and in a society that promotes "coming up" and "getting money" at whatever cost just found their niche in a capitalist society


No sir CAC

this is deeper. This is about your mother and fathers generation that plays more of a critical behind the scenes role in owning a culture FALSELY associated with blacks..

In all honesty it's a CAC culture.


You've created the system and you pay well. The rules are simple "money, cash, hoes, crime, and other animalistic behaviors are rewarded with big advances and marketing pushes.

The culture is in black face. Why is the culture in black face? Why destroy our imagine which in turns lowers a generations self esteem?

It's less about Young Thug

And more about the owners of his contract.

300?

Universal Records?

Young thug is a mouse in a maze. Once his message is stale the creators of the maze will go back into his neighborhood which is deprived of resources to live comfortably and find another Young Thug

To tap dance on stage for them...

yall always trying to deflect....yeah the jews are evil gonna make money off whatever BUT these rappers are full of shyt and know what theyre doing is wrong....plus the ppl listening also play a role

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

I have been jaded

U will have a rapper talking about killing nikkas one song, and then crying about his dead homies the next. I try and just listen to the shyt just as entertainment.

I'm always trying to deflect


Breh I asked a question about the owners on page one ...


These broke ass artists falsely represent the culture. Half of them have no sense of self or the world... And you want me to focus on them


They show you time and time again they don't know any better and will do whatever for a dollar..

I'm focused on a gatekeeper that created a system that in the grand scheme of things keeps a status quo in the country and arguably the world



These stereotypes and myths that condition and program so many people's mind wouldn't exist if they weren't marketed and given the highest platform..


I'm not worried about some dumb ass artist who doesn't know any better.


I'm worried by the people WHO DO KNOW BETTER

You are absolutely right, the culture is in black face.

But you are supporting it. Not just the artists. I completely understand them. For all those promised millions, who wouldn't do a couple years of "black face", or whatever your cultures equivalent is. No matter how destructive your work is to the culture, any average people would do it. Or at least think about doing it.

But the listeners, the fans, the outsiders are supporting it too. Who aren't profiting off it at all.

We created a parody of the black culture, and you are eating that shyt up without any sign of opposition.

The ether in this post

Jesus...


That's why I made this thread. I've supported it so long and up until Mike Brown I've semi been conscious but now I understand.

Understanding the system has me jaded.

On every level the system that I falsely associated with my people is CAC owned. Some CAC is sitting back somewhere drinking champagne while his little black employee is doing a tap.. I mean rap tour around the world promoting the destruction of black culture


And no.. You don't see every race in the same capacity being showcased as tap dancers.

At 31?

At 31?

Because I won't support it anymore?

Uhhh... I guess I can accept that.

Uhhh... I guess I can accept that.

It took you 31 years to realize the negative impact hip-hop has, lol

I see what your are saying but I was feeling like that prior to Mike Brown over the last couple of years in particular. Its hard for me to listen to anything new that has those drug/violence/misogyny themes...BUT I dont have my head in the clouds like its a new phenomenon or its anymore prevalent then it was before. All the shyt that's nostalgic to me has those themes on overdrive. I cant shyt on the new generation of rappers when I got C-murder on my ipod. And if anything, it feels like this era is even more open to various forms of hiphop that don't promote the shyt I feel is detrimental to the black community. So I listen to that We're just getting older and seeing things with a mature mind is all. Its too easy to blame rap music for whats happening. I always go back to "okay, so what were slave owners and jim crow purveyors' listening too?" Seriously, violence,drugs and stereotypes didn't start with rap music and it wont end with it. White folks were still treating us like garbage when we were marching in suits and shyt. nikkas was gangbanging and selling drugs before any rapper said it on a record.Lets be reality.

But again, I get where you coming from. I cant digest the majority of this shyt anymore. Especially when its coming from fukking 30 and 40 year old millionaires.

Peace..

Once again I state my focus isn't really the artists and how hypocritical (human) they are..

But the system that enables them. A system that has made the destruction of black lives lucrative and marketable to the world?

Yea the system is bad too, but everyone knows the system is bad. People have been complaining about the system for 40 years. It's trash, but it takes someone that is being exploited by the system to take a stand and rally his peers. I don't participate in the hip hop rat race as a fan anymore. I'm barely a casual listener. We can blame the system, the system is always going to throw out the negative, but these artists are adults with voices. They have the opportunity to speak out, they just decide not to. Or they're told not too and they listen. I can't absolve them of blame because the system is bad.

There's just no balance anymore. Everyone walks that same walk.

There isn't any Public Enemy type music in the mainstream to speak on these issues, but it's been like that for a while now @bigrodthe1 just made a thread earlier speaking on the weakening of music, social awareness and etc.

People want to act like Public enemy made some kind of damn difference
