@Revolver Ocelot Hip Hop made you do this clown shit 😂? Yeah I think we’re done here good talk y’all.

Tell ME what I’M talking about 😂

Hip Hop is more than those things but aite.

I’ve said from the beginning I was talking about Hip-Hop CULTURE, hence my adamant fixation on defining its values. The consistent straw man has been to misconstrue what I’m saying as saying “rap music is making Black people dumb”. That’s why when I say “find me saying anything close to...

Lol so subscribing to a culture is the same as listening to rap music. Y’all are playing dumb for the sake of argument.

You just killed your own argument referencing Native Tongues. According to you, they were deemed “corny” or “boring”…. Who deemed them corny? The record labels that signed them? Or the “culture” that preferred to back a rapper like Jay-Z who rapped about the streets?

Show me where I said rap music causes students to perform poorly. I extend this challenge to anybody in this thread.

If the thread is about Hip-Hop why bring up movies and shows?

I think the take about school performance went over your head. But I think you may be too biased to hear what I was trying to say.

Bro you acknowledged that as a kid you saw kung fu movies and that made you want to try Kung fu because the imagery captivated you. Is it unreasonable to imagine that a kid would see the imagery of NBA Youngboy music videos and be equally captivated? Combine this with the fact that they might...

They won’t get into the specifics of the “negative aspects” tho. They’ll just use the words “negative aspects”. I asked them to describe the values of hip-hop culture and was told “education” 😂.

I don’t understand this entire paragraph. What made up opinion based facts? And where have you specifically acknowledged the negative aspects of Hip-Hop beyond “nobody is saying there aren’t negative aspects”? What specific “negative aspects” have you or anybody on your side acknowledged...

Very few people listen to their favorite song and haven’t seen the video for it, or don’t watch the videos of their favorite artists or follow them on social media. In 2024 the imagery is inseparable from the music. Also I would say the negative aspects have been downplayed in this discussion...

Also y’all are admitting the imagery you saw in film and the imagery from TV was influential on y’all on a personal level and influential on society as a whole while simultaneously downplaying the influence of imagery from rap videos with the songs that accompany. Uncanny mental gymnastics.
