So how much longer until Cacs take over Hip-Hop completely?

[Danie84]

Cacs already took over Hip-Hop when Em dropped My Name Is

 

[Wild self]

they will learn later on, like we all do

yeah, but people weren't saying a damn thing when the gangsta/ negative shyt was on radio, catering to their taste back in the 90s and early 00s. When things no longer goes their way, they scream conspiracy. Most of these so called HIp Hop heads, don't give a fukk about the other 3 elements of Hip Hop and would never give the props that underrated artists deserve.

nikkas should have never abandoned Public Enemy for NWA (outside of Cube). When we got rid of positive black music, is when things started to get bad, one stage at a time. First, it was lyrical skill and emotion over negative tracks, then the emotion was removed, then the lyrics, and, eventually, the quality. We broke down from Rakim to Chief Keef in just 25 years and made the Hip Hop culture filled with ratchet people that exploit it for financial gain. Black folks hands are almost as dirty as Cacs in this case, FYI

Whites owned us since the days of Run DMC. Plus black folks exploited other black folks (*coughPuffyCough*)

You do know you have a choice whether you want to listen to these artists or not right? I think you people just like to bytch and moan about everything.

 

[Blackout]

i get angry when i hear nikkas talk about 'culture this, culture that', 'this is our culture'. you cant say its yours if you dont even fukkin control the shyt on the business end! nikkas dont own fukkin hip hop. smh

culture is cool but when it's billions on the table, its a whole different animal. we gotta know how to handle business first and foremost. theres no sense in saying this is our culture when outsiders own the all the channels to provide an outlet to the culture. that means not only are they the ones own and conrol the shyt, they can cut the head off if neccesary.

these white folks out here franchising hiphop. we dont own the fukking shop, we just manage the night shift.

Just say that they have stolen a part of our culture.

that's absolutely false, Black people were speaking out as SOON as the negative gangsta rap hit the scene, but just like now, White people were in charge of the music and kept paying Black people large sums of money to make self destructive music.

Chief Keef makes self destructive music and a White man offered him millions of dollars to continue doing so, and he accepted the money, because he was in no position to turn down millions of dollars.

If I stop listening to white artists, will that somehow stop whites from taking over hip-hop completely?, which is what this thread is actually about and not about listining to artists we don't like.

You mean C. Dolores Tucker and Chuck D, the same people that the rap game threw them in the bushes and silenced them? Face it, Gangsta rap brainwashed generations of black folks in it and made them caricatures of their artforms and way of life.

and @ black people giving in and making music that harms their people. Face it, black folks fukked up bad in this situation and proved that they love their excess greed over the well being of their people.

 

[Poitier]

You'd have to go waaaaay back to the early 80's to find a period of time where hip-hop music was predominately owned, controlled and distributed by blacks. From the Run-DMC/LLCool J era on up, hip-hop has been pretty much entirely white-owned. And even in the early-80's, labels like Sugar Hill Records, which was black owned, and produced the 1st rap songs/albums to chart on billboard, they had a white-owned parent distributor. So basically, hip-hop's ENTIRE history has been controlled by whites.

Learn the difference between "partnering" and owning it to the point where you are hands-on and want total creative control.

yes, gangsta rap brainwashed generations of Black folks, and white folks bankrolled it.

White people cut those checks.

White people distributed the albums.

White people payed rappers cents on the dollar while they raked in the real profits.

I wouldn't say willingly.

I'd just say that the split in hood vs non hood in rap had blacks who supported variety vs blacks who supported gangsta rap while being backed up by white funding and because of that the blacks who supported variety lost.
