      You are right but he wasnt suspect in any murders was he? All that dealing stopped when he picked up a mic, which it should but he was still glorifiying it like he did. Nwa and the labels moreso took advantage of the hype and became the bad asses that they thought that would continue sell records. It goes on til this day. We all love the music but the hip hop culture did shift to that based upon labels seeing that consumers wanted to buy edgier music over conscious

      @jman1562001 Před 6 měsíci +4

      Eh.....J Cole has a whole roster of artists under him but none of them blow. Is that an agenda or do people NOT FEEL their ART??? Kendrick be out the mix for a couple of years then pops back out, and Drake rides the trends to stay in the mix. It ain't really a movement behind them. Matter of fact, their ain't even a movement behind Lauryn. That's why it be one offs like that IMO. Rap is all expression, positive and negative. I just think folks focus on the negative because it provokes a more potent response. Labels, streaming sites, etc. are the platforms and IMO all they can do is put disclamiers and advisory warinings. Can't expect TV, Internet, etc. to raise the babies and if you allow that then that's a reflection of the individuals family and indirectly the wider community.

    Ed just making shit up! He didn't live in LA. Eazy E and MC Ren were both in a gang. And just because you're from the streets doesn't mean you can't be a "nice guy". He's really buggin! Suge was running around slapping people before deathrow. DJ Quik and MC Eiht, King T, Tone Loc(I could go on for another paragraph) were certified gang bangers. If you live there you'd know. The difference was they didn't advertise what gang they were in. It was bad for business. But talk about the streets. Not only that but you don't have to actually be in a gang to be affiliated with a gang. You on the block with the wrong set everyone getting dealt with. The crazy thing is there's a Compton everywhere. But gang bang culture was a whole different level of violence. Some of these Rappers told the stories as a precautionary tale or as a way to escape the kaos themselves. If you lived in Compton you wanted to get your entire family out of there. And if it took some beats and a pen and paper to do it the majority of us (especially as teenagers or young adults)are taking that avenue out first train smoking.

      It's all relative tho. They come from that, and it seems that they now understand some of the things that might've shaped their way of looking at life as youngins. It's self awareness. And Just because someone highlights something that might be deemed negative to some doesn't mean that they themselves are 100% removed from it. We all have our battles and are taking it one day at a time.

And Ice Cube and Dre growing up in a rough neighborhood don`t make them Gangsta. And i heard Eazy E was really just a drug dealer.

    To Mecca's point, our natural bent is probably towards the negative vs positive. Even the good book says we love darkness more than light (John 3:19) in our unregenerate state. Add the profit motivation and I understand why record companies seemed to push more of the negative. I think there's a place for the descriptive (i.e., Melle Mell the Message) of harsh realities or even "glorification" (preferably done well technique wise) in a free speech/fee market society. That said, ca 88-90 there was so much balance from party to braggadocious to gangsta to pro-black to hippie, etc. Glad I came of age in that era.

As for the influence of Satan, he promises evil and denies the truth. As for the influence of the angel, he promises goodness and affirms the truth. Whoever finds this goodness, let him know that it is from Allah and let him praise Allah. Whoever finds something else, let him seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan.” Then, the Prophet recited the verse, “Satan threatens you with poverty and commands evil, but Allah promises you forgiveness and favor from him.” (2:268)

    When I hear cats says actors kill in movies what’s the problem. The problem is there’s balance in movies. Every other genre in movies makes just as much if not more than action movies. So there’s always a balance. Unfortunately, with rap music past 1991 there’s never been any balance. The bullsh*t gets all of the focus and everything else is considered underground or irrelevant. So are our kids seeing the whole picture & true reality or just what the industry wants us to see?
    I think it’s been pretty obvious.

    All due respect, what I'm about to drop is heavy and some won't believe it and then there will be some that will know and understand what I'm saying. Again this is out of respect that I'm stating this my words are not to cause more damage, be that as it may, but the truth, as they say, hurts. This ain't no hip hop shit, although I'm from the early genesis of the culture. But everything is relative. Naw, this is some real life give it to you straight no chaser, how the elite get down, survival of the fittest where there will only be a very small percentage of us still standing, because we have something to offer: We solve problems. You can take this for what it is, or you can throw it away. So in HS I was a very good athlete (good enough to earn a scholarship to play BBall @ a small negro college down south) but I wasn't that great of a student, even though my mother was an educator. I went to an all-white HS in the suburbs of ST. Louis. This was in the mid to late 80's. By the time my senior year rolled around I was the Man on campus, this would've been '88, and looked upon as a leader. During the time leading up to graduation this group of highly influential individuals, made up of Doctors, Lawyers, and Businessmen wanted to start a leadership program that consisted of the best and brightest. As I stated I wasn't that great of a student, but I was considered a leader due to my prowess on the BBall court, so I was amongst this group of individuals that would be cherry picked (selected ) to be a part of this student leadership program. You see there are the ones who are selected by their peers and then there are the select who are handpicked by the Influential. Y'all get that. There's a great difference. This leadership group would meet once a week and during these meetings we would have to read the US News and World Report, The Economist and have to watch national news shows on CNN and CSPAN and write a report and be ready, the following week, to speak about the report and what impact certain decisions would have, on people, politically and economically (I would go on to major and earn my degree in Political Science). To make a long story long, some of the folks from this leadership group have gone on to do remarkable things in the private and public sector of the US Government, present company included. So why am I telling this story and what does this have to do with this particular segment. Well I've been around the so called elite, the Unseen, and I have an idea of how they operate and the conclusion that I've come to is: On one hand the use of Politics, Education, Economics, Entertainment, Sex, Media and any other people activity are mechanisms of control that are being used to turn people against one another while on the other hand having a trained selected educated class at the ready to come in with solutions is paramount to rebuilding society, after the damage has been done. Peace.
