Yes there is
you're arguing with him
the issues I mentioned are the cause of the problems he tried to connect rap to
Nah he was spitting
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
f*** that i’m rewatching the wire rn, s*** got me wanting to flood my streets with dog food galore
then youve completely missed the point of the show lmao
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.
Racial economic inequality, police violence, d*** dealing, single parent households, mass incarceration, etc?
Must be them damn Lil Keed lyrics again
Lol you really wanna go on how atlanta d*** rap hasn’t influenced niggas to sip? I really wanna debate this i have literal people wholl tell you it has

Nah man, it's rap music. Those life or death situations 21 Savage and Von rapped about came from beats and rhymes.
Lol you really wanna go on how atlanta d*** rap hasn’t influenced niggas to sip? I really wanna debate this i have literal people wholl tell you it has
thats just an extension of the d*** problem in the black community which predates rap music

Its gotten to a point where the “outlet” literally intensifies the real life repercussions
Yes. Strong women in my family too.
And you call me pathetic for not having a father at all

Must be them damn Lil Keed lyrics again
then youve completely missed the point of the show lmao

Racial economic inequality, police violence, d*** dealing, single parent households, mass incarceration, etc?
Must be them damn Lil Keed lyrics again
you can't be serious with that first sentence
Only lowkey racist Rock fans and metalheads say that lmao.

Its not the fault of rap artists then
Only lowkey racist Rock fans and metalheads say that lmao.
Really? I see normal people saying that as a joke
thats just an extension of the d*** problem in the black community which predates rap music
Its okay to admit its a problem idc if it issue started before this is creating a whole new waves of d*** addicts! At least niggas BELIEVE that crack is some trash lowlife bummy d***. Niggas celebrate pints on snap stories!!
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.

You being facetious but it’s serious.
I cant really speak on other rappers/ other areas but Keef and a lotta them Chicago rappers used to have everybody wanting to be like them when drill popped off
Nah man, it's rap music. Those life or death situations 21 Savage and Von rapped about came from beats and rhymes.
Got damn
What about those situations did Rap start?
Those situations, or circumstances didn’t create themselves so how and when did they originate?
