The music definitely contributes to shyt like this, like it or not.

I used to think that @Matt504 stance on hip-hop was a bit shaky at best, but within the last few years I’ve seen exactly what he’s talking about.

I fell into a serious depression between like 2019-2020 and started making some changes.

I was never deep into drill rap like that anyway, but within the last 3 years or so I’ve stopped listening to the radio and most mainstream artists altogether.

It definitely helped me reestablish some mental clarity.

You can’t sit here and deny that listening to songs about guns, drug usage, violence, “bytches”, the “opps” (other black men) doesn’t leave some sort of mental imprint.

At best, it can contribute to a sense of nihilism. At worst it can contribute to guys like Ja Morant buying into a lifestyle they’re not built for. :francis:

All of this is still 100% his fault, but as black people in America we need to understand we are (and always have been) under attack.

So why wouldn’t they utilize the music that we listen to as a weapon?

I appreciate you sharing this.

Most people who have even a passing familiarity with me as a poster on here know that I love hip hop, what I do not love is the anti-Blackness shoehorned into the art form. It's unmistakably anti-Black and because we love the art form, we feel like critiquing the unsavory parts of the larger whole is an attack on the larger whole. I'm just asking folk to step back and think about what it is we're consuming and how it might be influencing us in ways that we can't readily identify.

I'll leave this video here, it's short, bittersweet and to the point.

Ja Morant comes from a middle class background. Why is he hellbent on looking like something he is not? I can understand if he grew up in the streets but this fake gangster shyt maybe a mental issue. Just doesn't make sense
Bingo.

Real street ngas who aren't insane actually don't WANT to fukk up their paper when it comes from legitimate sources.

When you're in the streets all it takes is one misstep and you lose it ALL. If dude was really like that he would be the last person on the team putting millions of dollars at risk by pretending to be tough.

2nd amendment.
:yeshrug:
Guns are tools. Used for hunting. Also used for defending yourself against opps.

In both scenarios the gun is being used legally for its intended purpose.

The problem isn’t Ja, the problem is America’s gun-obsessed culture.

I’m not gonna let people pick and choose which elements of the gun culture they deem acceptable.

Don’t blame Ja, blame Thomas Jefferson and them nikkas for writing that trash ass amendment.
You seem to one of the few to get what this is really about. They’re a lot of surface level thinkers on this forum concerning this topic. :ehh:

These deep dives & essay writing on the Ja situation is out of line.

Ja an idiot, and he deserves a timeout, BUT folks acting like he a career criminal.

Na he not a career criminal…. But he is a career line stepper and he keeps progressing in a direction that is going to lead him that way in the end.

It’s at this point bigger than “but he was just caught with a gun” when you compound it with other incidents over a he last 2 years.

Until today, I didn’t know about the him threatening a Shoe store employee or assaulting a 17 year old.

Then the incident of flashing Red dots on opposing teams players heads/chest? He building a bad rep that hurts his case or benefit of doubt

Why does legally owning a firearm get you suspended in the NBA :dahell: he wasnt in the locker room orbl some shyt like arenas. if anything he should sue the NBA
This is like his 3rd incident involving a gun. The one where it was a red beam pointed at the pacers team bus , and he got to answer for beating up a teenager up.They let him slide already and it's like a smack in the face to do it again.
