... and don't get me started on Scarface!I agree with that. I also agree that some negative things may start in certain areas and spread to other areas because of the imagery in rap. For example, maybe twerking was only a thing in strip clubs and at certain parties, but rap and social media made it more mainstream and at some point you had young girls from good homes twerking everywhere they go. That's not good, so we all agree rap can have a negative impact. I just disagree with some of these people acting like rap is a primary or driving factor for all the depravity in our community. It's not.
i feel you. always thought many rappers had it all wrong when they spoke of rap having influence but then contradict by saying it doesn't influence where casualty is concerned. influence is everywhere. guys put loud mufflers to emulate speeding race car power or wrestler fighting moves or some martial arts moves, steph curry 3 pointers, magic johnson no look passes. anything has the capability to influence anyone. we're all made open like that. recently them 2 dudes that mowed down the officer on his bike...was that Crazy Taxi or Grand Theft Auto influenced? yeah, it's a be like Mike conundrum in this bitch with a lot of denial and shirking of responsibility. but there is a little cultural influence that clashes because twerking's been going on in African dance.
