    Yes there is

    you're arguing with him

    I definitely agree but when these boys literal father figures are niggas leaned out talking about robbing and s*** ehay do you expect. All the girls like the trappers so all the niggas gon get like the trappers. A lot of this imagery is coming from one source thats glamorizing it.

    People with legitimate opportunity and a chance at upward social mobility can listen to rap all day and nothing will happen

    The issue isn’t rap, it’s that so many things in this country are intentionally gimped to make sure poor stay poor.

    And as all evidence has shown, poverty and single parent households are the two biggest predictors of incarceration when you remove all other variables

    I agree how its very detrimental to the community as a whole, there's a reason people say rap is crap or you can't spell crap without spelling rap

    At the same time I respect for those who use it as an outlet for their life issues and make otherwise be aware of how bad things are

    you cannot blame all of this on rappers

    at the end of the day most rap music is entertainment regardless of accurate the imagery represented is. individuals should be able to distinguish entertainment from reality

    this is like saying menace ii society or the wire causes niggas to start trappinh

    Rap just isn’t sold that way and the impoverished youth takes everything these entertainers say as truth cause that’s how it’s sold.

    Economic starvation will always be a much bigger culprit to black regressiveness than Rap Music.

    So, in regards to whether or not Rap Music TODAY is regressive to the black community, i'd say no

    However, in the social media age, where things can go viral with the push of a button, it's definitely not helpful to see young niggas projecting that lifestyle in their raps and videos. There's no doubt to me that niggas are in part influenced by what they see on IG, in videos, hear in song, etc.

    Actin like there's no connection between niggas actions and what they listening to and see everyday is simply being willfully ignorant.

    Got damn

    What about those situations did Rap start?

    Those situations, or circumstances didn’t create themselves so how and when did they originate?
