Times are different than the early 2000’s studio rapper era. Social media created the “live what you rap” era. Plus 80-90% of every hood consists of aspiring rappers 💀
not necessarily this i think the phones ruined it they record way too much was nobody always recording in the early 2000s that’s why you only hear about stuff that happened you never see cause if you wasn’t there you couldn’t verify
Say cheese the best interviewer cuz he actually let people talk with no interruption…that small detail makes things so much better to watch..I can’t stand over talkin ass host…u brought them here let them speak wtf
social media & cell phones i say it everyday even nipsey said back in the day we wasn’t recording nobody getting put on or off a hood & you’d get yo ass beat just standing there even trying to record it’s goofy now tbh 90% of the rappers aka celebrities that’s in jail indicted etc literally told on they self in 1 way or another or someone around them did nobody knows how to keep it quiet 🤐
Rapping has so many parallel connections to the Bible. Yahweh speaking life into existence, life and death in the power of the tongue, preaching, ect. Rap is preaching, teaching, and vibrations that carries with it negative spiritual implications. Then you take into account “idols” being raised up and worshiped (a whole discussion in itself), the government purposely removing Black fathers from the household (another discussion in itself), then Blacks reality being manipulated by the system. Poor housing, education, opportunity. Naturally the youth would gravitate towards their “reality” which is spurious. Destruction is being preached (rapped) into them. Rap is just a part of the assembly line. Ruins lives is an litote, it destroys lives. One of the serpents main tools.
It’s not rap fault, stop placing blame on external factors. Before I broke the law I already knew the consequences. Some of my morals and principles are against the law. Hence why I’ll always blame myself for any legal problem I’m faced with.
Rap inspired me I was taught by hov , nas Diddy they the reason I'm an entrepreneur now ......that corny gang shit ruins lives these young niggas is slow
