don't really see what this situation has to do with hiphop? crooked racist cops existed before hiphop and will exist far after hiphop is gone. this is a race issue. point blank period, and i don't see what hiphop has to do with it?
and again, ok there is a lot of violent music coming out of the youngsters these days....is that new?

To be honest, I actually feel the same way. I've become kinda disinterested with hip-hop lately ever since The Mike Brown killing and I'm 23. The reason is that many rappers are not tackling this issue, few but not as many as I hoped. The whole entire Hip-Hop community should be openly riding for Mike Brown, a person who was apart of the culture.I'm not just talking about the black rappers, the white rappers too who pretends to care about us.
One night, I just deleted a whole bunch of music off my phone, mostly the shyt that's hot now. During a time like this where its open season on black people all over the country where rappers & entertainers are spending more time doing Ice bucket challenges than speaking on our issues.....It kinda rubs me the wrong way.
Maybe its not the rappers job to speak out openly and maybe I shouldn't care because the killing didn't have nothing to do with hip-hop, but we are in a desperate need of a musical backdrop of whats going on right now. We need a Public Enemy, a NWA, 2Pac or Ice Cube in the mainstream that'll give us some raw aggressive energy. Props to J Cole, Dizzy Wright, Killer Mike, Common, Talib, Game and others i'm forgetting for doing what they can to shed somelight.

As it pertains to hip hop and rap specifically it conditions and programs the human mind to associate violent, animalistic, ignorant, anti-intellectual, abusive images and stereotypes to a race that has now ownership of the culture that exploits it.
I don't see rock or pop or electro music doing that to black or African people
What right does a Jewish man or white man have to monetize the lowest representation of a people and give them a stage to perpetuate ignorance?
We didn't have these stereotypes before hip hop
Black men were seen as against the system.. Intellectuals in many circles
Man I could go on and on but when a Mike Brown or Trayvon happens the first thing the CAC propaganda team screams is THUG.. HOODIE... GANGSTA
and I'm like.. Wait a minute
Unarmed kid?
Gangsta? We didn't create the term nor do we market gangsta.. We don't even own a network or a record label to market THUG?
That's all CAC trickology.. CACs are the real gangsters and thugs. Hip hop is honestly made by CACs and the lifeblood financially is enabled by CACs
And see I argue we don't need that anymore
Let hip hop die
Some wealthy JEW CAC reads your post and says
"Hmmmm.. Given the temporary outrage by the minstrel community maybe we should go looking in the neighborhood for the next Ice Cube. We should make him push the envelope and speak on sensitive issues. It will resonate and speak to his people's emotions and we'll still have him perpetuate some sterotypes to keep the false ideologies alive in other races and ethnicities minds"
We need to know who we are and once we do they can't tell us or project what they want onto us anymore.
Don't you get fam.. You're 23 and your coming into the knowledge quicker than I did..
CACs own hip hop. They can create whatever movement they like and make it seem "black" and program a demographic.
Mike brown made it come full circle for me
They control the media. They control the propaganda

well there you go then. it's not hiphops fault. its the OUTSIDERS who think they know it when they don't. that's on THEM. i don't speak out on shyt i don't know about. the same way the media and white people shouldn't speak out on hiphop culture when they don't know a thing about it.
there are still tons of "positive" rappers out there. just like how there's a lot of "gangsta" rappers out there. it's up to the consumer to figure out what's best for them. hell the real gangsta music isn't even on the radio these days. where do they get this from?
yea i alwasy thought the term "urban youth" or "urban music" as a connotation of black men was hilarious considerin how many races live in downtown/"urban" areas with lots of tall buildings and busy streets
