I respect your post and everything,but yall keep posting stuff from 20-30 years ago which is fueling my point. Of course there's music from whites about drugs and rape and ect. but my point is that once it was observed 20+ years ago how powerful, motivating and influential RAP had become, they decided to basterdize it into the negative, mind-numbing music that it has become today. They saw how songs like P.E's "Fight the Power" could inspire and uplift black people, so they decided to take control of it and made a concious effort to erase the music of its POSITIVE messages and influence and replace it with talks of gangbanging, murder, extreme materialism and promiscuity. There's not even a balance anymore(HOPEFULLY with Cole & Kendrick selling that will change). Songs like the ones you posted are not widespread TODAY as they may have been yesterday on a mainstream platform. Cats in here posting NECRO & Mickey Avalon vids but they've never sniffed mainstream influence like a Young Thug, Rick Ross or even a Bobby SchMURDA. (Notice just the names of some of these artists aimed at black youth. Thug & Murda in their names for christ sakes) Meanwhile, songs about murdering black people, rappers shouting out their gang affiliations, encouraging black girls to dance on poles and of course the repeated and constant message of extreme materialism are FLOODING the airwaves aimed at black youth. I listen to both urban and pop stations equally so i know what type of music is playing on stations aimed at white people. That Wiz song in the OP will get little to NO play on urban radio, TRUST ME. It doesnt fit the format. Ignorance is rewarded on black radio. Positive and uplifting joints like that in the OP are deemed "cheesy" and "corny" and is often given the
. Its not even close the disparity between pop and urban stations the amount of negativity thats played today. It shouldnt even be a debate
