Get the fukk outta here like he doesn't represent a much larger glaring problem w/ glorifying black on black violence behind a veil of credibility.
As if we can agree pop culture has major influences on youth in general but certain, popular, forms of the genre rife w/ negative behavioral cues disguised as how a "real man" is supposed to act doesn't plague our youth.
Again... our music is a muse for our experiences but when you are constantly glorifying the parasitic and destructive aspect, it will have a negative effect on a big portion of our youth.
It's bytchmade to call out what is always swept under the rug in the black community?
Bruh...real talk...it's bytchmade if just because I like the melodic sound of the music, I want to deny what it really is.
and we should do what to correct this? I feel like it's because of fake civil rights movements and because of mental conditioning. The only solution I've seen people champion was to tell young brothers and sisters
... yeah, OK -
we see how that's working out.
I remember we robbed one of my best friends as a youth and robbed his mothers house..... all because he stunted on everyone one with a velour fit and fresh nikes. Thinking back we were like Animals. I know a cousin who shot his cuz in the head.
Where were all these 40+ people at back then who talk shyt about the Chief Keefs now and judge our culture?
It's up to 30 year old dudes to fix stuff...... because the only reason people are even talking about it is due to the media loving stories like this so older blacks are finally taking notice.
We need to keep feeling ashamed about this shyt. We need to realize almost every media influence paints us as animals & violent by nature.
We need to frown on the glorification of what is so destructive to our people. Stop being afraid of being a community again. Start saying goodmorning & good night, start allowing our youth to feel safe in our own communities.
Crazy when pre civil rights era, when a young black man walked through a white neighborhood, he would hold his breath, as if walking on eggshells... and when he got to his community, he would let out a sigh of relief as if fellow black people were part of a large supportive structure who know his struggle and know what the real enemy is.
Post Civil Rights + All of these negative cuez & lack of equal education? When we walk through a white neighborhood...ain't NOBODY fukking w/ us...but when we get to our own communities...the hood? We are on guard against each other, if you're street smart you know people are scheming left and right.
Now... if we open our eyes we realize that isn't the future the "real" black leaders envisioned... W black on black violence & drugs destroying the communities + lack of respect & education for a strong family unit... it looks more like a future that is a 1960's white supremacist's wet dream.
For every stray bullet that kills a young child in the hood, or every child not being taken care of by the mother/father, or every female that has no respect for her body, or every drug that destroys another community AND every black person that takes pride in being part of the most dangerous city in the country... MLK turns in his grave & every dead civil rights era racist that loved lynchings? Their soul is smiling.
I don't have the answers, but I hope to be part of a collective that brings the topic to the forefront and forces the conversation & action. We really need to love each other more.
