Now I love hip-hop but I get frustrated going into the booth and reading threads like "rapper x has been arrested on gun trafficking charges" or "rapper z has been arrested on assault and battery in connection with..."
I love hip-hop but I get sick of the negativity associated with it for real...
I get frustrated with the fact that white rappers can be themselves, but even in rap we as black men can't even really be ourselves. Like we either got to be in the streets...or hustling...or have moved work...or we gotta be gang affiliated....can we just be regular black dudes or black nerds doing this? That's why I fukked with odd future when they started and pharrell and lupe and kanye...at the end of the day I';m just a suburban bred skater black nerd..I'm not and never was "bout that life".
I think about these type of things when I'm at events playing on stage or I'm in the crowd as one of the few black people doing my thing...like how did it get to this?
I hate it when people be like "black peopel don't listen to this" when it's like I have been listening to "this" longer than some people been alive!
