I hit wack because you're acting like an idiot over a battle which has existed since rap music. You hate the shit so much yet can't stop talking about it. So either you're stupid for listening to something you claim to dislike or you're lying about your dislike. Either way...you're an idiot.

Ain't nothing redeemable about Hip Hop anymore. There might be a few new cats like JID that are trying and some old heads still make decent music, but for the most part the art is lost. It's just bullshit for clicks and cash. Hell, when you hear the artists talk about the music, they don't even seem to give a shit about it for real. They just do it because it pays them, and they would say anything and do anything if it sells.

Mos def classic album Black on Both sides
"Fear not man" talking about the state of HipHop. Underground heads like myself use to use that as an example
Fast forward Mos def comes out with an underrated album called "The New Danger"
An important track on that album is the "The Rapeover."
Fast forward Mos def wearing quasi homosexual shit. It's over yo
Now.....
Riddle me this
Which song holds more weight
"FEAR NOT MAN"
OR
"THE RAPE OVER"
Y'all already know the answer to that
Don't nuke it yo.
It's simple but some of y'all can't calculate.

Don't even think you can call the hiphop of today a culture.
Well, maybe a culture of ignorance and toxicity........but most of it shouldn't even be classified as hiphop to begin with.

I can remember back in the 80s people were saying Hip Hop was negative and violent BEFORE NWA CAME OUT!!!
When it was Run DMC, Whodini and The Fat Boys people were saying rap is negative and it isn't music.
When NWA came out it gave the haters confirmation that all rap was negative.
Bottom line, it doesn't matter if there's a balance between positive and negative, people will always focus on the negative.
Focusing on the negative gets more media attention and sells more records.
If rappers made positive music, didn't curse and the women were covered up in the videos people would still find something to complain about.

White people (your Lyon cohens, Jimmy Iovine’s) made it so rap became commoditized past any real form of expression, like an iPhone: 4 colors of the exact same shit, every year.
It’s not unlike the demand for slaves in Africa during pre-colonial times, where by the end, the people providing them were left undermined by their very own greed that empowered the Whites.
Niggas today will deadass beat somebody to death for disrespecting DJ Vlad or any of these “so what wud u do if ur opp walked in right now?” Interviewers or lean rappers/prostitute rappers.
but to answer your question yes..yes… after 30 years of repeating these depleted ass talking points about the spelling of nigga or rappers being newscasters of the ghetto I’m ready to surrender and admit this shit is negative and a detriment to our people and should probably end sooner rather than later, its no saving this ship now.
