I concede that a lot of rap promotes negativity and that can be damaging. I'm not saying negative rap is harmless. I just don't think it's impact is as significant as you believe. I feel like if people black people could get past the internal and external problems that plague our community, Hip Hop would be less of a problem.
That kinda proves that Hip Hop isn't the problem for us though doesn't it? Hip Hop has spread all over the world. Pretty much every country has its own Hip Hop scene complete with their version of drill, gangsta, and whatever other negative subgenre you can name, yet their communities haven't be thrown into disarray. That must mean that Hip Hop in and of itself isn't the problem.
by ur logic in the bolded/underlined u are basically saying there must be something inherently wrong with Black people since no other groups suffer from the same negative effects to the same extent
however my point stands that the culture is toxic period......no different than saying smoking/drinking/overeating/insert whatever vice here is bad for your health
ya'll arguing extremes as if I'm saying niggaz are only doing dumb shit solely becuz of the music
when all I've been saying is the shit isn't good for us period......no matter how much/little u consume of it, it's not good for us
even if hip hop is not the core problem (which no one said it was), it's still a problem for our community
there's no real benefit to the shit at this point, which is why I see the shit no different morally than porn
@BlackRain u said making music is different than fucking on camera as if porn has been proven to be worse
but how many of us have beefed to the point of killing each other over porn tho? I can argue rap has an even worse impact than porn on our communities
