Props to this guy, I hope the rest of the 00's hip hop community comes out and exposes how they have dumbed down the black youth with music glorifying seling drugs and shit like that. We need a new, well educated and articulate and respectable "MLK" type african american figure to represent the minority masses.
There is an interesting article called 'The Secret Meeting that Changed Rap Music and Destroyed a Generation' which if true, goes to explain how that happened (it was deliberately planned).
O M G . I read this a few years ago and wish I had saved the link! TYSVM! If you try to explain this to ppl, they think you are nuts. I totally believe it. The Prison Industrial System. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
I think it may have gone deeper than just to keep the prison systems full, but that was probably it's simplistic public face to sell to the greedy. With financial backing they could eliminate any 'positive' competition by promoting only the bad things like drugs, gangs and guns as being 'cool' rather than something that should be fought against. Divide and conquer... that certainly happened.
