Runaway Love seemed to work when we was kids but niggas looked at Crooked Smile like it was corny lol

I wonder what happened between 2006 and 2013 to shift the consumers tastes to feel like a positive song like that was corny

Lol

there were definitely some knuckleheads out there who tried to get into gangster s*** after watching godfather II or whatever

Years ago, I would be all about “rappers just rap about they environment, the government need to be helpful before you tell rappers to change”

but after Take I really dont got it in me no more bro. I dont got a sympathizing bone left when 40+ year old MILLIONAIRES with influence and were peers to these fallen rappers still perpetuate the dumb s*** that culminate the mentality where niggas gotta bring guns to a goddamn bowling alley, knowing they far away from the s***? That makes my blood boil.

21 bragging on clubhouse about how many bodies his hood have caught had me so sad bro. These rappers know better. Choosing the bag over they own people.

stop listening then c**

Now write one for the black person who has the same concern because they notice their lil cousins behavior and way of talking changing lol

be a better role model for yo cousin nigga

On the very low end of its effect on the culture, it gives outsiders the impression they need to imitate these hard and aggressive attitudes to be "like" "us", which has a purely detrimental downstream effect on the people who see these outsiders changing their attitudes and behaviors for the worst based on our art-form.

When this is the most popular subgenre of the genre that gets the most universal promotion, you can guarantee it is doing more harm than good, WHATEVER impact is it having.

tuh! using that pic like keef didn't drop this!

Street rap definitely enhances the frequency in the crimes that take place in some of these communities but the violence was there before rap existed.

Getting likes but no one thats been resorting to insults and “stop listening” has given me an answer for this.

You being dissapointingly obtuse you know exactly what he’s talking about dawg.

Real s*** @op 🤷🏾‍♂️

Lmaoo this is funny but the rappers have money clothes fame and b****es (the type of s*** Niggas think is everything at 11) and I got a goofy ass lanyard to go clock in lol. At a certain age and time in a Nigga life rappers/athletes/entertainers/etc matter more than any regular square role model you put in front of a kid lol

y’all are smarter than this

man shut the f*** up nigga dam

Can you try to like have a conversation bro?

Like I’m not even tryna be on typical “lol troll” s***. This subject makes me sad dog lol.

This is all that’s being said and Niggas acting like we said Youngboy and Durk created the black plight

Ms Jackson woulda “scared the hoes” for sure

This why everytime YB get on some negative s*** I be legit dissapointed.

Letter To Big Dump was legit some of the most sincere s*** I’ve heard of anyone of this new generation of rappers.

Some of these young niggas could be special and actually leave transcending marks on this earth but nah, opp music instead that definitely dont get old in the next 5 years is the wave right?

this is a cop out. if these kids had more role models they definitely wouldn't glorify these rappers like that. I was one of those kids and I have hella lil brothers and cousins too so ik thats what it is

these kids need positive black role models around to be able to tell them yea rap is cool but you can't just do the s*** you hear in the music. another factor around that is they environment cuz you could be tellin them that and then they go to school the next day and none of the other lil niggas care about that message you just gave yo lil ones

tl dr: i think the blame is blown fully out of proportion for this music being the reason why these kids do dumb s*** and have s***ty role models

Move this to the negro section tbh

Where are these positive black role models to be looked up to at?

Who’s shaking the perception that to be smart means you a square?

Also somewhere along the way, the elders dropped the ball and alienated a lot of the youth. This goes into how platforms like Ak (definitely brings negativity to the forefront) were able to grow, they took in these young rappers that the elders in higher positions laughed out the room.

But, that comes with consequences

all depends on what the person chooses to do on how they heard the track an what they do next

at the end of the day it should come from family. user made a good example with the older cousins but it's more than that. dads, uncles, older brothers, etc should all be the ones

they alienated the youth musically. strictly when it came to the music. and I can't blame them for that because that happens every other year dam near. I mean look at some of the stuff that people say about these new rappers on here
