The funniest part is, by today's standards his son ain't even bad lol. The beats slap and he's staying on time with a unique voice. I just don't know why the content has to be EXTRA demonic, like he's trying to obviously compensate for the affluent upbringing.
He’s not terrible either

:ohhh:

It's the culture led by the music.

It's literal mental & spiritual poison that makes it harder as a parent to raise "square" black boys and girls.

I don't care what nobody else says....rap music has become one of the worse things that's ever happened to the black community.

Rap music has completely turned our image inside out by EXALTING the lowest aspects of society (gangbangers, drugdealers, thugs, thot whores).

I personally feel SUFFOCATED by this culture. I wish myself and all my fellow like-minded black people could segregate away from this culture and start brand new where hood/street/thot culture is left behind to rot.

The music/general mainstream Black culture is influencing them. It is what it is. Not even sure what people expect.
I think the music was originally a symptom that became a cause. It was the result of conditions and now it is influencing conditions. It’s an endless feedback loop

These kids are literally being fed poison as you said.

They are very young and impressionable, but nobody wants to admit it especially on this website.

The fact that “square” is offensive to Black people is nuts to me.

I was thinking this as well.

If he could keep lean in on and reshapebhis persona to a more general theme - Money, Jawns, Partying. He actually wouldn't be any worse than the nikkas rapping now.


I respect Irvin. But, damn, maybe it had to be done but that pause and emphasis on

GATED COMMUNITY...


YOUR WHOLE LIFE!

Sheesh, I felt second hand ether from that like I was his son. Father murdered his entire rap persona he's been building up over half a decade. :dead:
The party nikkas are being pushed out of rap by crash out dummies. Pre-Trump even killers, shooters, and drug pushers put out party hits/anthems. That’s why these sales going down, along with the killers catching momentum and either dying or getting locked up. No memorable stuff. Tear The Club Up a banned song, but they ain’t use a sample as the chorus or hook to make up for verses that aren’t memorable

Also studies show that animals AND humans will dumb themselves down to belong to a group

the ether
Mike prob wasn’t home during the kids formulative years. Seems the kid has no goals and access to a lot of leisure time. That’s a bad time waiting.


shyt like this kills the idea some Coli posters have expressed about celebrities with too many kids, "Oh he's rich it doesn't matter if he's in their life, they're gonna be fine."


If you're a father and you're not right there in your kids' lives, just providing for them might not be enough.

I hate how young black men think they have to portray the image of a crash test dummy or a goon or a reckless individual in order to be authenticated as black.

Black male pathology:snoop:

I cringed and was SMH when I saw this commercial drop on MNF.
