I wanna say something but whenever you want to hold some of these niggas accountable you get called a coon so I’m good on this one.

How do you feel about blaxploitation films?

Or, ya know Curtis Mayfield literally singing about doing the same s*** rappers are doing today

weird a***ogy and bad take, most non-jewish people speak wrong of the holocaust, from deniers to people that just learned 1 side of the story to people that were directly involved in the crimes

9 times out of 10 the people i'd trust speaking about the holocaust are jewish people

same goes with street culture

@op good thread. you have to come to the understanding the devil owns this world, we are under his dominion, so the things that catch on like wildfire are often demonic, because he has puppets stuck in the machinery of every facet of human life, ready to promote the destruction of humankind.

man said demonic.

lol Drake just put Durk on his single. They love street violence.

"I'm in the trenches relax"

People only remember Tupac for his gangsta persona. All these artists love that Thug Life s***.

Making it look a 100 times cooler than it really is.

are you white? @op

Great verse about this

That’s not the only reason people remember Pac. When I hear people talking about PAC irl or on twitter it’s talk about how poetic and how hard he went for the people. A small portion of pac fans even over do it with the thug life stuff. Saying people only remember him for that is downplaying his legacy.

Listen to Ka if you want a rapper who doesn't glorify street s***. Man looks back at it stoic af...

"Mommy told me be a good boy
Need you alive, please survive, you my hood joy
Pops told me stay strapped son
You need a shotty: be a body or catch one
Always been conflicted"

It's time to have a dialogue: OP is a b**** and needs to be banned

Maybe instead of demonizing the street culture we demonize the systems that created a culture of violence and crime that was a means of survival for many in these poverty stricken cities? Maybe demonize the politicians and law enforcement who pushed guns and crack into these neighborhoods as a means of killing and arresting the black population. Maybe also demonize the white industry executives who look at street culture as a means of entertainment for the populace and exploit street culture and those who take part in it.

I say all this not to slight OP, but if we gonna be real about it then we also have to acknowledge what has created that culture to begin with.

Also street culture isn't normally glorified by those who take part in it. If you listen to the music more often than not they make it very clear that the life they lived or are living is not something they'd wish on anybody.

It's most certainly a discussion that can be had. As I always say niggas gotta want to be/do better. They may not have created all this s***, but they do have a hand in continuing a cycle of violence, danger, and crime that comes with the street life.

Nobody wants to be in the streets. The streets is trash. You gotta do what you gotta do in order to survive, but that s*** is not the only way. It ain't even the best way either. It's best for us to educate niggas on why they should stop perpetuating this s***. And it's important to tell them by continuing to do so they're only very playing into a game created by white politicians and law enforcement, which at the end of the day is detrimental to their own people.

why is demonic supposed to be so wrong?

yeah agree

it's not on the rapper to change what they rap about. of course a street nigga is gonna rap about street s***

the question is why TF do music companies promote all that s*** to little kids in the suburbs tho

Music definitely influences people.

It’s stated that Satan was a master musician remember

i used to think this way.
but the reality is it's not true. d*** addiction, gang culture, depression, meaningless sex, being a total worthless human, are all exaggerated in music to look and sound cool, to sell records. it isn't even just rap either. young kids hear this s*** and think nothing of it (parents, cant control this 100% because its just too popular now). it becomes normalized, and it's ultimately a negative for society

you know the answer - to make money. but i disagree, i think the rappers are complicit, they are just tryna make a quick buck too, it's a hustle equivalent to selling crack to your block - you're fulfilling a need but also profiting at the expense of others. yes there are root causes for all this but we can't excuse the rappers who perpetuate the cycle

No I black

I said it. I meant it.
