Rap Music, Brainwashed Youth, and the Power of Hip Hop Culture

[The_King_of_Everything]

Kendrick ain't an industry plant. From the sales to the quotables, people legit love him. GKMC is all about making it in a Mad City. I can understand about Drake, but Cole is the one leading the sales and lyrical compartment. Funny how negative trap music is being pushed all the time, but it sells abysmal and can't even cover basic expenses from the record company, but radio plays it all day.

Jimmy ivonne won't let Kendrick fail and the bet push for Kendrick has been evident for two years. He got 45 min dam near of tv time last year

it's too late. right now hiphop partly (together with majorly the bullsh1t laws) is supplying the prison industrial complex business.

it's a gangbang of industries attacking the black community and making money off it as it sinks into extinction...

This.

A lot of people don't understand this. Its the same way how Motown music of the 60s goes hand in hand with the National Civil Rights movement at that time. Even IF a lot of the music at first in that time period had nothing to do with the movement.

The same thing with hip hop, even if tons of records were released that had nothing to do with the mass incarceration/war of drugs, they are still always linked because of the time period.

It is not possible to have a new culture and new music until this changes. If Marijuana is rescheduled from a Schedule 1 to a Schedule 4 drug later leading to legalization and all other drugs are decriminalized. And we do criminal justice reform to make sure that industrial complex never happens again, along with economically helping the non violent offenders that were just released.

Like with focusing on teaching them how to play instruments

Hip-hop today is poison and nikki minaj is god to these young hoes

I was at the McDonalds on Springfield and Linden yesterday and the shyt that was coming out these little motherfukkers mouths

@Kritic @Wild self this is something that needs to be discussed. @GetInTheTruck I am glad you brought this up this is something I have noticed myself and we have all witnessed ourselves. I have been on Jamaica Avenue, Queens and you ALWAYS gotta be around some young people often younger than 18 that embarrass themselves and their race and the sad thing is they don't even realize it.

Yall all know what im talking about......those types that walk around walking head upright like they proud and shouting out some lyric like "I got ya redbone bytch sucking on my dikk nikka!!!!" or "These nikkaz keep hating on my swag!!"

We have all witnessed that. Its cringing. Like how can you shout out those things with a straight face and not be embarrassed. Whenever I witness that I always try to get out of there because I don't want to see a disappointed and disgusted look from a elder grandfather or grandmother and have to be grouped with someone like that. Those kids are too far gone. It just is mind boggling to me.

Personally even with the conscious style of hip hop, I don't know if you guys feel the same but in GENERAL with me I have always thought it weird for some reason to recite or repeat hip hop lines in person even if it is someone like Rakim. Like I think singing is less weird, I don't know how to explain it I guess because its more melody and built on emotion....

But yeah when it is a rapper they are reciting it just comes across as strange especially when they are shouting out the line like they put their phone on speaker and want the whole block to hear them rapping stupid lyrics. It doesn't help when its young men who do this.....which makes it more pathetic because it looks like they are pathetically trying to live their life through the rapper as if they are their father figure.

Hip-hop is very powerful but good parenting is even more powerful.

Hip-Hop is like a virus preying on a weak immune system. If the community was more healthy, we'd be able to absorb this and recover without much damage. Instead the impact is debilitating. Strengthen the body and the virus won't be able to wreak nearly as much havoc.

Rappers, execs are trying to make $$ selling their product. This is the most capitalist nation on Earth. Money over everything. I ain't really mad at them. No different from porn which we all know is poisoning kids' minds. No different from Goldman Sachs or Bain who rips people and countries off with no fukks given for $$$.

If black people owned these companies, they would be driven by the same market incentives that drive the current execs. There might be more Kanye's and Cudis but the execs like Dames and Masta Ps would still be pumping that ignorance to the people.

It's the failed education system, broken families, unfair drug incarceration and relative poverty. Rich white kids are listening to the same music. It ain't the music brehs.

The sad thing is that they still want to do dumb shyt or to party all the time. Hip Hop in the last several years has been obsessed with the club, like life begins and ends with the club.

EDIT: Deleted my original response. I see you are from Queens. Thought you were talking about Springfield in Jersey.

I love hip hop...always have always will, but the older I get the more selective my taste gets. I can't listen to the music the everyday listeners listens to. True hip hop has so much potential to convey advanced thought...ideas that NO other genre of music can currently convey as clearly. Sadly it's being used incorrectly.


These ice-age quotes opposed Helios
Confusing the most yet I find it remedial
Turn the radio and TV off, think for a second
Technology is a blessing but it's also a weapon
A weapon of mass destruction givin' global instructions
Teaching us how to hate but does it in a way that we love it

C Delores Tucker tried to tell black folk back in the day, but she was ridiculed by the rappers and leaders of the day. The problem has always been the fact blacks hate no one more than other black people, so its no biggie to hear about killing other blacks in the music.

Rap music has literally become the definition of demonic and it seems i'll be outright banning the music in my househould. Its gonna be either reggae, pop music, or fukking rock and roll for my kids its seems...

While your generally right, its obvious the music is very harmful to the BLACK community in particular, mainly because for many youths they tend to try and live out the fantasies being spit on wax. Even if they knew nothing about drug dealing or whoredom, they'll have a clear understanding of them once they listen to enough hiphop.
