Rapper Future Accused Of "Destroying Lives" By Promoting Drug Use In Music.

[Redwing80]

@ people bringing up parents like peer pressure doesn't happen. Or companies don't pay a lot of money to a lot different type of people to promote certain things. If you listen to 2 to 3 hours of music a day. That will effect you, whatever the words are. One conversation can change your life or your mindstate, why wouldn't you think constant music and words in your head couldn't?

Rappers do promote a destructive lifestyle, and I personally just want these guys to be out of character during interviews so the kids can learn to seperate rap from real life. But, unfortunately, one of the most important characteristics of a rapper is (was) being real. See how it all loops in for fukkery? The curtain is never down. Kids think its possible to be a millionaire, do all kinds of drugs (mixing highs which is dangerous as fukk), and be a piece of shyt. It's crazy brehs. I just hope we can seperate it from being so closely attached to "black" culture.

How many years you been listening to Hip Hop?

that's what happens when you let rappers raise your kids

Exactly. I see parents who let their kids sit there and listen to half this stuff, stuff that past generations would have to sneak and listen to.

It's like, the music is made for mature audiences and caters to club culture. You wouldn't let your kid sit there and watch porn on the living room tv, so why is the lil muthafukka listening to some shyt about eating ass like groceries as if he/she doesn't have a vivid imagination


Raise you damn kids and let Fushure be the trap star the world needs

The same people in this thread who hate "Drug use" will turn around
and bump Marvin, The Temptations, Michael Jackson etc. without batting an eyelash.

Drugs ARE NOT inherently bad and og maco's pseudo intellectualism is difficult
to stomach.

I've never really listened to eminem like that but from what I've heard I never heard a lyric of him bragging on nodding out.

I mean nodding out is what junkies do, why would you want to make that seem cool?

Word ?
"Swallowing a klonopin while I'm nodding in and out on the ottoman
At the Ramada inn, holdin' on to the pill bottle then
Lick my finger and swirl it round the bottom and make sure I got all of it" - Eminem, 3 A.M.

I've probably listened to Relapse too many times cause these lyrics immediately popped into my
head.

Xanax is huge among cacs and crack is overrepresented among us, I've never heard a rapper say that he does crack or promote the usage of it. In fact they have been shytting on crackheads since forever. The causality of music is very hard to determine, seeing how Drake, J. Cole and Kendrick are the biggest rappers in the game. Kids should be socially conscious, go to college, be soft as fukk and on. The everlasting question is if rap is a product of the streets or the other way around, I have a hard time believing that it's music causing shyt. Xanax is like a top 10 selling drug, Future could probably affect a few knuckleheads like 100 but those birdbrains would probably try something else in any event.

Bold, and entire paragraph is truth. We gotta remember, these are fukkin teenagers he's mostly referring to. Teens wild the fukk out and party, that's been a fact since the invention of liquor, but still. Folks in the thread denying it are doing so because they're grown and know better than to go do what someone on a record does.

Is someone going to become an addict, a murderer or a gang member because of rap? Probably not. If said person goes down that road, there's obviously other outside influences that play a part, like upbringing, their environment, peer pressure, and etcetera. And we can't place all blame on the entertainers either, because it's not their job to parent. It starts at home. But music does have a way of glamorizing things that really shouldn't be glamorized.

And I don't even think it's the music itself, it's the fact that those concepts get rewarded, and then we see those rappers with all these chains, cars and girls. That's why it's cool to be a rapper right now, people see it as a Get-Rich-Quick scheme. And they're right for seeing it that way, because that's exactly how it works. OG Maco tested that theory himself and succeeded.

Great point People are unaware of just how POWERFUL music is period. People are unaware of how the subconcious works. People are unaware that repetitive sounds and images CANNOT be undone by the subconcious. Music can have an affect on ones' emotions which can lead to ones' thoughts being affected which can ultimately lead to ACTION.

Future's vibe is always about taking those drugs to soothe his pain/numb it..yet he knows it's not the right way to do it.

If grown people are dumb enough to be influenced by that then that's their problem. It's the youngns that I'm concerned about as they don't know any better.

People need to know how to live and be alive. Processing emotions so one doesn't have to succomb to booze and drug abuse should be a class in school.

What about black on black crime

 

[Scoop]

eminem doesn't exist now? or any other druggy rapper

Em's songs are about how dumb it is/was to cope for various problems by nodding out.

He talks about it but doesn't glorify it.

We all know kids in the hood don't dictate what's popular.
