"Rappers rap about killing other Black men and no one bats an eye..."

[BlackDiBiase]

dope thread i want to chop it up and get deep but im too lifted and fck oprah she is too concerned with emasculating black men.

 

[Geordi]

Was he robbing them because they’re Black or cause he’s a poor petty criminal who wants to rob someone and the closest easiest vic was Black?

Many of these rappers get rich talk about how they live in mansions, drive the hottest cars but they still exclusively shooting nikkas on the block



PS: I'm not saying I'm above listening to and enjoying these songs

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

Breh,
You do know black folks can be agents of white supremacy too,right?
Black people can hate and hence devalue black life just like white people can.
How many more lyrics do people need to post for you to get it?

What does that have to do with anything? I’m explaining why there isn’t some organized political backlash to “rappers promoting killing Black people.”

It’s because no one is talking about killing Black people per se. They’re talking about violent street crime.

If someone Black or not came out with a song theme about killing Black people or doing anything disparaging to Black people on the basis of race, it would be universally condemned.

Tactics?

You tried to tie in DaBaby's situation with the "outrage" over lyrics in the 90's when DaBaby's situation isn't even about lyrics. That's the epitome of a strawman argument.

How old are you? No one was using a "trap card" argument to defend explicit lyrics in the 90's because that's exactly what was being attacked 'explicit lyrics" What folks were defending then were the rappers rights to say the things they were saying on record. That's a whole other discussion... That "trap card" argument didn't exist then.

You really gonna use "trap card" as a way out of trying to dispute a fact?






The part you guys keep leaving out about C Delores Tucker was she played herself and lost credibility when it came out that she was trying to work in the music industry and all that dust she kicked up basically was like a big marketing promo for gangsta rap. If you hate gangsta rap so much, how could you be "cool" with that?

All week the number 1 argument I’ve heard from ppl on this very website and ppl on IG and from those in the internet manosphere(Male millennials and GenX 90s heads) is the aforementioned trap card, in defense of DaBaby. His defenders kept on bringing up his lyrics. So clearly to them, it’s about his lyrics. To the ppl defending DaBaby, it’s about feigning outrage over him being allowed to use lyrics that promote black on black crime, while not being allowed to randomly crap on other marginalized groups of ppl. The users who have defended DaBaby are the ones who brought up the lyrics argument as means to defend his right to crap on those other marginalized groups. It’s not a strawman if this is the argument that has been constantly presented. Thats the point. None of the ppl who are angry at the baby had any beef with the songs he was performing. His random tirade is what got him in hot water. This convo ties in with the 90s rap argument because once again, those defending DaBaby complained about black on black violence being normalized lyrical content since the 90s, in an effort to make his tirade seem like it wasn’t a big deal.

Everyone knows C Delores Tucker was trying to swindle these rappers. Trying to sue Tupac and whatnot. But that doesn’t mean that ppl weren’t actively defending the right for rappers to rap about the most derogatory things. Which isn’t a bad thing. Nothing wrong with freedom of speech. But freedom of speech includes the right for those to take umbrage and speak their minds about how crass those lyrics are. And freedom of speech doesn’t mean that you won’t lose sponsors for the controversial things you may say outside of proper lyrical context or even within proper lyrical context. This is the world. This is adulthood. If ppl wanna bring up derogatory black on black lyrics, then why feign outrage when it’s convenient? That’s your right, but it’s gonna make you look silly if you’ve supported this kinda music, but then feign anger in defense of someone who decided to take a shot at folks outside of his marginalized group.

It’s s disingenuous argument cause never in be history of rap has there been ever been a song about killing Black people.

There’s been songs that tell both fictional and truth-based stories about killing of people who happen to be Black.

But nobody’s every made a song on some KKK rap shyt like “I kill Black people cause they’re Black.”

There have been a few rappers who have had punchlines along the lines of “I hate nikkas, I’m like the KKK” .

Instead of negging how about refuting my statement.

 

[MJ Truth]

I don't blame the rappers, because most of them are just puppets and slaves to the industry. I mostly blame the cacs that pulling their strings behind the scenes because they love profiting off black trauma.

WILLING puppets and slaves breh.

I hear you with bold but this is where I think dudes are going the way of out of touch cacs using this as some gotcha. You know damn well that's a clever line and doesn't mean exactly that or that the person feels that way when these dudes are damn near around nothing but other black people. I get some folks disliking the punch line but we don't have to be disingenuous on some here is the proof they hate nikkas. There was a thread recently where dude said he's tired of black folks but anybody using common sense knew what dude was really saying. Now whether you agree with it or not is a other question but acting like dude is really tired of all blacks would be phony IMO.

I say what about movies because this shyt is entertainment. Y'all hybrid black cac dudes on here act like it isn't. I know y'all use these dummies doing what they do but there will always be some of those but it isn't representative of most black people that consume this stuff. I'm pretty sure you and most on here have listen to this music and have you then decided to make dope or join a gang because of the music? If so that seems like a sheep problem that most can't relate to on this front.

First of all you shouldn't be taking it so personal to where you got to rant off like you did here. Take the emotion out and look at it from a logical standpoint.
Music is our most influential form of entertainment and is much more digestible. Young people damn near worship musicians and are easily influenced by what they say. Not saying it is the sole reason but is a contributing factor along with other elements like environment depending on what it is.

 

[Seoul Gleou]

you fakkit nikkas really made a nikka think on this shyt

we can spin the block and make the nina sing to a nikka's dome

and we rock with that.

but the lgbt nikkas said you better cut that fakkit shyt out and cac execs made their rap artists fall back.

so now black people gotta decide if they wanna follow grandma and grandpa's road and get black people to stop screaming fukk nikkas and kill nikkas on they tracks

and if the current generation wont do that. then they need to shut the fukk up when nikkas get canceled by fakkits

thats some real shyt tho fr

 

[King Jove]

Rapper don't talk about killing crackers. They don't talk about killing spics. They don't talk about killing chinks. They talk about killing nikkaS.

Look how the asian community made YG fall back for just rapping about robbing them.

How about it’s time to boycott gangster rap?

A better idea is how about we boycott killing each other in real life?

 

[Taadow]

When did we decide we care about other niccas dying?

That was never the problem with alleged “Gangsta” Rap.
