Best catch all way to express the problem. It’s much, much more broad in how it began than poor parenting since it has only gotten worse over the past hundred years as a result of other factors. But many problems can be resolved today moving forward starting in the household.

Like i said @op This is not a discussion to have on KTT

Not only are there not enough blacks on this site, this thread shows that theres also not enough people with above room temperature IQ to even have this convo

Y’all need to watch this, bro literally said MORE ppl started gangbanging after nwa came out

Climbing before they existed. Must've been a rap group out to explain it

kanye just bought this up in his drinks interview when he cited how bone thugs were paid by the feds or something to make the music that they made......

Hip hop as always been an out for people in the hood but now i feel like its the time to re make the rules.....seeing dolph die...then nippsy....its like how could we even allow this to happen especiallY its our own PEOPLE!!!

we need to start handling our s*** like grown men the best advice was given in friday RIP john witherspoon was telling him why you dont need a gun you got your fist be a man! you lose some you win some but you live to see a new day....

that just says violent crimes, where's the statistics on gangbanging?

check your mother's camera roll

Right its hard to argue that drill doenst incite violence when theres suddenly kids getting stabbed in The Netherlands over musical beef.

Not saying there wasnt street violence here before, there definitely was. But it was mostly like real criminals involved in the d*** game. Just last month another 15 year old died in South Rotterdam. That definitely wasnt happening as much before.

Ive heard that the movie Colors kickstarted gangbanging in a lot of cities outside of LA and Chicago.

Come on man

Hall monitors wanna dictate everything u say on this site

You get all the black people banned on here

Nah bad parenting and having children wayy too young is ruining the community more than anything. And this generation of parents regardless of race kinda suck when it comes to enforcement. Social media and d*** use is so common now lot of single mothers just be letting their kids do whatever the f*** they want or even encourage them to commit petty crimes to make chump change to help them cover bills and other BS they should be responsible for. And when you have a kid so young you don’t realize how much responsibility it is and a lot of the time this causes the father to think being a deadbeat is okay something to joke about due to immaturity and by how common it is.

Obviously crime always existed and was wayyy worse back in the day but now since a lot of famous black men portray violent images a lot of kids in nice situations wanna be like them. Cause who do kids look up to? The rich and famous.

As a social worker idgaf what you say street rap can be detrimental if your parents aren’t raising you and putting in your head that the music is simply entertainment. Cause I’ve seen this s*** first hand so many times that a young nigga living in west bloomfield or the burbs trynna pop percs and do lean and s*** cause he think its cool from rap culture. Because again young niggas are gonna idolize the celebrity not the accountant making 80k a year happier than the celebrity. Of course its always gone be niggas that live a fast life but my point is a lot of people nowadays don’t even have to but they choose to do it anyways cause they can’t decipher entertainment from reality

How did it ruin the community that was like it was beforehand. The music is literally a product of the community they grew up in.

On one hand it’s been very profitable on the other hand it promotes violence and d*** use

Fox News bout to offer u a scholarship

What I don’t get is the idea that this is what rich white people want to destroy the community when they originally tried to shut down NWA

They only tried to shut it down cause it was starting to influence their children/community

Word that makes sense

This video is spot on.

I don’t think some people understand how influential music and movies can be.

It’s like we’re stuck in a feedback loop

Govt invented street rap
