Tell me how that makes sense?

The music business is there to make money so you want them to cut off the revenue stream. They have no social responsibility. They exist for profit. Place that blame on the artists and the fans who consume the product.

There's plenty of rappers who are now just studio gangsters even if they were once in the streets. They just rap. These young rappers bring the street energy to the music and are still involved in bullshyt. Thug was still gang banging with millions in the bank. That's not on his label.

I think you perfectly highlighted the key issue here. There's no duty for social responsibility in this industry.

There's already discussion forming around holding these label executives legally accountable for profiting off music that directly relates to open cases. It's just a matter of defining what responsibility they actually have in all of this, and if this violates artistic expression.

I definitely agree with you, it's certainly the artists' responsibility first and foremost. But whos financing the artists to continue making this music? And who continues to profit after these artists are killed or locked up?

Yeah I seen Vlad speak about this in another interview too. Even if they don't make this criminal, I don't see why the family of the victim of one of these shootings can't sue a label for profiting off music that mocks the murder of their kid.
It should be the standard, I wanna see those people killed by von sue his estate and the label

100% agreed. This shyt has reached a crazy point too a year ago back when Von died, and Durk dropped Still Trappin with a posthumous King Von verse dissing Tooka. Like damn Von just died, and Durk still put it out and the label cleared it.

It’s a lot of reformed folk in our community that’s actually doing for it and helping the youth.

A lot of “killers” you g sht walk past one everyday homie lmao believe it or not. That same old nikka you see passing out bookbags to the youth or the Ice cream man that does free soft served after school were former killers/shot callers. The hood mechanic, etc… point is they grew up and if you talk to them it took someone not even kin to em to help them grow and realize the sht going on is wrong.

It’s easy to judge when you on the other side of the fence. The sht going on bad but at the end of the day them boys be products of what they’ve grown up around. Ian judging no man for partaking in what’s normalized to him.

Instead of judging we should pull to the side and teach. No matter how much a image them boys portray… they still human and still function just as everyone else. Teach and try to show em right instead of scrutinizing all the wrong their doing. Some nikkas don’t necessarily see it as wrong.
half my family are BDs out of Chicago.
I know all about this shyt.

Still doesnt change the fact that bodies drop
our communities are shyt
and were still focused on saving the lost.

You gotta remove the problem to make things better for everyone else.

Everybody aint gonna make it.

We put way too much energy into trying to save violent people when we should be focused on the ones who aint in the street.
