An art form that glorifies Black death and disrespect of Black women and drug use of Black people. Hip Hop could disappear tomorrow and it wouldn't change the conditions that birthed hip hop, but it would be the death of an art form that rationalizes dysfunctional behaviors in the Black community.

Hiphop doesn't rationalize or apologies for anything

is hiphop promoted as "fake" like video games and movies are? When actors do interviews for movies or are on the red carpet, are they themselves or the character they play in the movie? Are rappers crucified if its ever found out that they really arent doing the things that they rap about? Have you ever heard a rapper say that his rhymes aren't real and they're just made up for "entertainment" purposes? Movies and video games aren't rooted in authenticism, rap is. Its all about "keeping it real" when it comes to hiphop

Breh the entire music industry is fake. Rap is fake too.

It's funny you say that, I just finished watching Jay-Z's Tidal concert and heard these lyrics.



Man if I get rocked, this shyt for my kids nikka
It's that real shyt...

[female singer, repeated throughout the verses]
Even though what we do is wrong...

We still hustle 'til the sun come up
Crack a 40 when the sun go down
It's a cold winter
Y'all nikkaz better bundle up
And I bet it be a hotter summer, grab a onion
Yes the ROC gets down, you hot now, listen up
Don't you know cops' whole purpose is to lock us down?
And throw away the key
But without this drug shyt your kids ain't got no way to eat, huh?
We still try to keep Mom...smilin'...
Cuz when the teeth stop showin' and the stomach start growlin'
Then the heat start flowin'
If you from the hood I know you feel me

:francis:

If a sneak start leanin' and the heat stop workin'
Then my heat start workin' I'm-a rob me a person
Catch a nikka sleepin' while he out in the open...and I'm-a get him ([Jay-Z:] Keep flowin'...)
We gotta raise our kids while we livin'
Make a million off-a record bail my nikkaz outta prison
fukk a Bentley or a Lexus just my boys in the squadder
nikka talk reckless then I hit 'em with the Smif 'n...
But I'm never snitchin' I'm a rider
If my kids hungry snatch the dishes out ya kitchen
I'll be wylin' til they pick me outta line-up...

Sounds like the truth for some people even though people don't condone it. Most people going to look for whatever makes them right so go ahead and do that. I think the real problem is you and fozzie are pissed nobody follows y'all words offline so y'all keep ranting on here. I'll keep saying y'all wrong but fukk it I know y'all wish y'all could be listened to more IRL and since some agree on here y'all keep coming back for your fix.

I don't go around popeople people's entertainment preferences offline, I'm just sharing my opinion about hip hop, whether anyone agrees with me or not isn't a big deal.

Ive had these discussions in real life. Lots of people feel the same way:dwillhuh: Are you kidding right now? Do you think ALL black people want to constantly hear music about hate and violence?? Do you really think that low of black people?

15 pages and you and your alias (& Malta504) still don't get that it's really about whose posining the music and not the music itself

One of the saddest posts in this entire thread. You think so lowly of black people, that 2 guys tired of hearing the constant promotion of violence, drug use, and materialism has to be an alias. In your mind, you cant fathom a black man wanting to hear uplifting, positive music. Thats some extreme self-hate yall
