The Brooklyn rapper explains, "You got these f**king kids following you guys rappers... and you're f**king rapping about these lifestyles...It's endangering, it's very detrimental, very dangerous to the communities, that these kids think that is going on that you did not even live."

Shmurda went on to share his personal belief that rap should prioritize promoting a positive agenda rather than dwelling on the negative aspects. He expressed, "I think rap's supposed to be telling muthaf**kas to go from negative too positive, coming from poverty going to riches and stuff like that. And how to stay in that and how to change. That's the s*** that I want to hear, I want to hear about living life."

Considering his background and what's he had to go through, this s*** poignant as hell. I aint really mad at it.

This why I never really gaf that all his post-jail joints were trash. This nigga did 7 years in the joint (that in his perspective, was prolly cause of the type of s*** he used to rap and champion about) and is just happy to be living.

He not wrong as I get older and not be on bullshit I use to I think the same thing. Also being with my girl helped showed me a side of life I thought I could never live.

Listen to amapiano instead

let people express themselves

Thina sidlala amapiano nina nilele shem!

I'm sliding over cars while I shoot

imagine listening to music in 2023

Real

We need a amapiano thread on here

As long as he happy he good, people saying he wasting his freedom since he got out cause they ain’t heard another hot nigga from him

real

rap is becoming a parody of itself
I don’t think it’s being taken seriously in a way it was at one point

Seems like he’s matured throughout his years. Good for him

Real

There is one and it's full of dope stuff

One already exists brodi

fascinating quote tbh would love to dive deeper with this

Explains why his music is trash now

Definitely. You talk to 4/5 non rap fans and they see current rap as a complete joke.

I mean tbh, I don't either

This s*** is trash man

I love when artists get to this point in their career, they might not be as popular, but it’s very humanizing

I get what he’s saying but it’s not rap as a whole that he’s talking about

can’t be, didn’t watch the video but hope that’s clear cause this quote makes rap sound one dimensional as hell & y’all agreeing with him is wild also

there’s positive rappers that are dope

Tobe Nwigwe for one
