He’s right. Hip Hop in the past was beneficial and carried important messages and themes. Now it’s overwhelming degenerate.
It was garbage back in the day. At least since 88 with NWA. The early 90s was trash too, normalizing smoking weed. Weed saps the motivation out of a person and artificially ages them. That's why snoop & redman look 75 instead of their natural age of around 50. It also causes cancer. All smoke can cause cancer, that is a scientific fact.
Without even seeing the video I can say yes, it has become detrimental to our community
That’s nonsense.
@@linwoodavenue4300yes, i agree most hip hop is nonsense. Glad to have your support on this. Let’s get some positive hip hop back on the map.
It definitely added gasoline ⛽️ to the fire for sure
That’s what it was designed to do since its inception.
@@linwoodavenue4300nah you’re just blind to the world and how programming works.
So ummm, am I the ONLY one that hears the dog snoring in first part of video?😂😂😂😂😂
😅
Right! annoying af
😂😂😂
Man Jamar’s dog is snoring up a storm 🤣
I’m like that dog ate good!!!
It's not that hiphop is the problem, it's what our people did with it.
Like Dr. Umar said; NOTHING!
exactly.
That's cause the people who controlled distribution used it to profit relentlessly. The industry doesn't consider their responsibility to the people they just want records to sell and to get as much from the artist as they can to maintain their personal wealth.
Hip hop has been detrimental since they stopped promoting consciousness and knowledge of self in the music.
Literally been like 30 years since anyone properly rapped about knowledge of self
Us calling whatever degenerative energy that attaches itself to Hip-Hop while calling it ALL Hip-Hop is harming us more than anything. Eric Sermon made a great point about Hip-Hop needing to draw a line on definition. The ONLY reason why these outsiders call themselves Hip-Hop is not because they care for Hip-Hop....its because they want to be attached to the PRESTIGE of Hip-Hop.
hip hop isnt a shining light in the sky...it has its good and bad....stop it.
@@juliocortez5209 i NEVER said it didn't have good or bad. I just said what it IS and what's its NOT
Hip hop was started by child mole?ter? And rapi?t shit was never good it was always used to control the minds of black people
Beautiful post, and I agree.
I don't call everyone who gets on the mic and rhymes "Hip Hop." To me, it's a state of mind, and many only get in for selfish, destructive (and in some cases, demonic) reasons.
good point
ACTUALLY HIP- HOP SAVED MY LIFE.. GAVE ME KNOWLEDGE OF SELF AND DIRECTED ME TOWARDS THE BEAUTY OF OUR HISTORY IN THE LATE 80s-90s.. HIP HOP WAS SCHOOL BECAUSE YOU HAD TO RESEARCH(REWIND THE TAPES) OF WORDS(SLANG) YOU DIDNT KNOW OR USE IN YOUR EVERYDAY HOOD..WHICH INTURN MADE YOU DEVELOPE YOUR OWN SLANG AND STYLE…PLUS IT WAS COOL TO BE INTELLIGENT
Of course it did when you listen to brand Nubian and public enemy! But when you listen to 50 and snoop dog , you’re not learning anything
Yeah, maybe knowledge of self, but killed your knowledge of God. It has caused shameful idolatry!
This is a problem that's bigger than hip hop. Insert whatever resource of your choosing. From jazz and rock and roll all the way to gold, diamond or cobalt mines in Africa. We give our resources away while their resources have to be taken out of their cold dead hands.
Dr. Umar is Right, and raises a good question. And great commentary , Lord. 👍🏿
*Name 3 positive things in the last 25 years hip hop has provided to the culture?*
I'll wait.....
Am I the only one to hear somebody snoring in the background 😂😂😂
His dog!😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I hear it!
Hip Hop was like sports.......a percentage of us kids would spend hours writing rhymes, hanging with your DJ buddy, and trying to hone you craft, instead of just hanging out doing nothin'......Idleness is The Devil's Workshop. I think once the Industry got rollin, shit changed. Tim Dog said "Rap is An Art, Not a Source of Gettin' Paid!" Hip Hop also was on the frontlines of spreading Black Power info to the community and masses.
Breaking everyday!!! Practicing
Lord J's dog needs a C-Pap machine 😂.
Hiphop expanded my vocab, strengthened my memory, put me on game a few times & definitely helps in my constant journey to be a more knowledgeable, positive man.
As for the whole community I can't think of much, but it helped to inspire & unify other knowledgeable, positive brothas collectively
The negative side definitely impacted me & the community too
But I dont expect any genre of music to impact whole communities outside of making them dance
Fela Kuti's just as important as Chuck D cus they made us dance & schooled us at the same time
So I cant ignore the positive influence hiphop's had on my community just because the negative influence of hiphop has been weaponized against us
You’re speaking about yourself but what about as a whole? What has it done for the black community?
@@stephmarie1111 I def mentioned the community in my comment, maybe u missed it.
u can argue it's affected us more negatively than positively, but some of the positives are inspiring brothers to eat & live healthier like The LOX with the juice bars.
Teaching us not to repeat other people's mistakes like "Slow Down" or "2nd Childhood."
Plus if Hiphop helped me (& many other people) become more positive, knowledgeable, etc then it is affecting the community positively since I'm part of the community, & spread what I've learned thru the community as well.
Its a lotta positives u can take from Hiphop, but that all depends on the type of Hiphop u consume
How about actually reading books to expand your vocab? Lol
@@sparrowprince3432 I do that too.. I guess u cant learn something unless its in a book🤷🏾♂️
Lord Jamar Dog over there getting it 😂
The school still isnt open yet...😂😂😂
He's still painting the school. 🤣😂
He's probably still blaming Lord Jamar for not donating.
It helped to resurrect the mentally dead black youth like myself. I'm helping others in my community in part from gaining a knowledge of self which I had no idea about until I heard the Wutang Clan!
Thank you Lord Jamar for such a thought provoking topic. I will say that hip hop gave one of the best song Brand Nubians "Don't let it go to your head" That song put in my head as a youngsta to be thankful because poof one direction could change things. 💐🌸🌻to you and your brothers. & A 🌹to Jean Carne. Also huge Congrats to Rah Digga Digga❤🕯
What started out as rap music from ghettos has now transitioned into something I can't fathom.
When we sold it to higher ups .. meaning.. we start letting check books reroute the message that became the problem
We as a people ended up not giving a f%$ about hip hop culture, hence where it is at today -- totally corrupted from where it was in the 80s.
Ain’t that the truth!
"WE" gave af, but multi-BILLION dollar corporations co-opted tha message, and Voice. Instead of puttin a 💯% of tha Blame on tha manipulated, ignorant, poverty stricken ppl. let's attach some to tha individuals in POWER that facilitate tha fuccery
@@devondivine1083 No, if we did we wouldn't have let the multi billion dollar industry dictate to us what is acceptable and what is not -- and we gravitated away from real hip hop in the mid 90s and as a people rather consume microwave popcorn bs and pass that off as hip hop. Nobody to blame but ourselves.
Yeah, black people just suck
Who's we?? Hip Hop is Black American culture, nothing to do Jamaicans. HILARIOUS🤣
We allowed the business of hip-hop to be co-opted, just as the BUSINESS of Gospel, Jazz, Rock, Country and R&B were, and are still being co-opted. The business portion of our talents have been used to educate professionals for the children of our sworn enemies so they can continue to exploit our cultural gifts and talents..
Hip Hop has made a huge contribution to the fashion world. Made young designers rich. But you're right. No banks, clinics, schools or supermarkets. Churches have not either.
@beggasbutter3491
Churches has produced more productive Black people than hip-hop has.
Side note-
Remind me of the 2 churches or pastors that were beefing and it ended up in a drive-by or shootout?
Good Brother; the fact that it appears your "fishing" really PROVES Dr. Umars point🤷🏾♂️💯
Drugs, racism and integration hurt the black community more than hiphop.
say it again fam
Facts but negative hip hop added a bit of fuel ⛽️ to the fire
hip hop helped to promote negativity to the youth
I agree with Vincent-um9pi, like Denzel Washington says it starts at home. Hip-hop was initially entertainment. Though I don't like today's artists, it's a parent's responsibility to educate our children. Hip-hop has no influence on our children being preyed on by teachers having sex with our children. Hip-hop didn't cause clergymen to prey on our children. The Penn State scandal with that coach scandal. They were supposed to be our children's role models. WTF? We need to stop thinking celebrities are going to save us. They are not. TV, in general, is negative. You saw violent movies like Scarface, the Predator. How about porn? We need everyday people to set a model. If you are an artist, that is your decision if you want to build something. However, I don't expect it. If you make a song I like or I attend your concert I paid for entertainment. That's business.
That has nothing to do with the topic of course there are things that has hurt our community more than hip-hop. We can't deny that it has done a great deal of harm to the black community as opposed to being a benefit though. If the merits of hip-hop had to be weighed on the scale it would overwhelmingly lean towards the negative.
Hip Hop has done a lot beyond just the music. In 1988, the Stop The Violence Movement was launched (which may have been the most important organization and coalition in the history of Hip Hop culture). It brought artists together to at least try to address the issues in the community, and it launched arguably the greatest record (i.e. Self Destruction) and a host of other "conscious/redemptive" records.
To me, the corporate takeover of the art is what ruined everything. The "conscious era" was very shortlived (and systematically neutralized) -- who knows how many more groups shaped in the mold of a KRS One, Public Enemy, Brand Nubian, X Clan, Poor Righteous Teachers, or even Arrested Development could have emerged had this particular era lasted longer and was showcased on a massive scale. Who knows what other progressive movements that could have taken flight if more conscious factions came into being that would have benefitted our people. But instead, the industry pushed for more gangster rap and other degenerative forms of expression that undercut and cancelled out any momentum established by the conscious community.
To me, the conscious era was the soul of Hip Hop -- once the industry took it away, it eventually devolved into what we see/hear today -- and as a result, Hip Hop never recovered. Modern rap is tailor made for criminals and strippers. The lowest essence is now given maximum exposure.
88 we got Colors the movie and song, Nwa dopeman and cocaine, curving the stop the violence movement. The fashion of hip hop has imitated the street hustlers since Run Dmc. The kids these artists were marketed to, saw the images and wanted to emulate their favorite rappers look and style. If their parents couldn't afford the clothes there was another option, we were sitting on mountains of cocaine that had to be move. 88 the crackhouse was labor ready, teenagers was the workforce, stop the violence was offset by any means necessary album cover. Krs look like he watching over a crackspot, not emulating Malcolm. As a kid I was fascinated by the mac 10 he was holding and the Dapper Dan suit.
Cassettes! Yessss. I remember when all rap videos were in black and white.
Is that an angus bull snoring in the background???? 😂😂😂😂
Hip hop has helped grow the black power movement. Many people reached the teachings of knowledge of self from the influence of hip hop. Hip-hop act as the microphone to the message to wake our people up. That is why the people who we are not allowed to speak about co-opted hip hop and now run it. Hip hop is used as a weapon against us because it was so valuable.
Wack coward can't even defend your position
Cope
BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO THE LEGENDARY DIGGA DIGGA!!!!!!!
The snoring!!!!!🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😂
Hip Hop saved me from alot of dumb shit i would've done as a teenager, as a man it inspires me, humbles me, and gives me respect towards our people, the people conplaining dont fully understand or appreciate the magnitude this great genre has provided all peoples
Hip hop is trash
@@AryanUberMan I agree. hip hop is garbage.
Lord Jamar, Professor Griff and Twista represent Hip-Hop firearm safety
Good show bro....I look at it like hip hop is entertainment and some of us utilized it for positive and negative means....it was never meant to bring change to our social and financial situation...thats why it was so easy to redirect the energy to be negative.....thats why after 50 years we have more negative then positive things to show as the outcome
Wrong
@@stephmarie1111 what was wrong? lol i'll wait
Lord Jamar you said something important, "let us be in power". I have learned one thing i 40 something years especially frok the music executives, power is taken not given. Those up front Advances and signing away rights messed up a whole industry. And this is before we even get into the undermining and government agendas.
There have been black power movements that have allowed themselves to be strategically diverted. So let's not just gang up on hip hop. WE just need to do a better job on ALL fronts
Brand Nubian was the best rap trio Ever! Even the elders in my community loved them. They had substance to their songs. They don't even make minds now that could produce the type of lyrics that they kicked.
Peace!
You answered this question on your 5% album...
I loved Hip-Hop from its inception up until about 2005-10. Now, if our (FBA)disfunction was a Movie, Hip-Hop has become its Soundtrack.
There are, of course, exceptions.
The honest answer is two fold, no , because there are countless examples that these words are just entertainment and shouldn't have any affect on the listener. You take what you want from it.
The second answer is yes, because it's obviously being taken to heart by a significant portion of the black community, and it shows. It takes the agency out of personal responsibility and puts it on the artists.
Lord Jamar and the guys only inspired me to love my people and seek knowledge of self, not once did I want to beat a punk down because of them. Much love to PE , KRS, Dead Prez, X-Clan, etc.
We let the ice people in thinking they where going to be on they side of truth , instead they exploited and spoiled a great black endeavor . Integration is a mf . Peace & blessings !!!
How poetic. 🤐 those iceys didn't contribute nothin. Not a single one of em
I believe rap and hip hop are two different things...and yes rap has promoted degenerative lifestyle and it was promoted by the people whose name you can't say without being called anti "you know the rest". Hip Hop was/is a culture of positivity but positive doesn't sell.
what you said isnt a belief...its fact. bboys...graff artists and djs arent having this conversation. This is about rap...1 element. Bravo sir.
It's a tool. Just like a ladder, a gun, a compass, a ruler, a car. It's positive or negative outcomes depend on the wielder themself.
Great point about sooo hip hop artists!!!!
Who the heck is snoring in the background lol?
Who is snooring like that???😂😂😂😂
Yes, mostly because of j-ish involvment, but they've had their teeth in the entertainment industry long before Hip-Hop was even conceptualized
The Stop the Violence Movement was a good step, and then it got sidetracked with gangsta rap at the forefront, KRS breaks gets into this in his song Hip-Hop knowledge, and when you look at the timeline of everything it seems to add up
Yoooo! Definitely a debate but damn somebody got sleep apnea 😮zzzzz
18:39-that's the BIGGEST problem!
KRS ONE built The Temple Of HipHop In Newark NJ.
Obviously we don’t care because we didn’t do anything about NWA, Uncle Luke, PAC, Biggie, No Limit, Cash Money, Trap, and now Drill Music.
Our silence was/is complicit in the deaths of many black youth.
Ayo, is someone snoring in the background?
Definitely give props to the God on how he's approaching this topic. Peace Fam, RegRock
Am I tripping who the he'll is snoring 😂😂
Lol. I thought I was bugging😅
@@troy2832 😂😂
Nope.
HIPHOP has not been HARMFUL to BLACK PEOPLE.
Actually,
it's been BLACK PEOPLE who has been HARMFUL to HIPHOP.
SHOUT OUT THE GODS ANDN EARTHS…. X-Clan, Paris, King Sun , Guru, Wu-Tang Nas, Keith Murray , Monb Deep, OC, Boot Camp Click , Outcast…Definitely got me through HighSchool 90-94… May have never did it with yall..SALUTE!!!
As long as Jermaine continues defrauding people and collecting money for a proposed school that will never reach fruition, I will refuse to care about any of his views on any topic.
Yes!!! And I’m 30sec in the video lol
The fate of hiphop was decided when Public Enemy was replaced by Deathrow Vs Bad Boy, any chance the genre had of a meaningful impact for the black community after that was dead in the water, mainstream media learnt they could make money while promoting destructive behaviour in the black community.....

I don't really rock with you like that but he is 100% correct! PERIOD
Ppl are listenin to this podcast bc of Hiphop
The commercialized version of hip-hop was. Ppl tend to forget hip-hop is multifaceted. There were genres within hip-hop was beneficial to the black community.
Hip hop has never grew up..50 years old and still in the same spot it didnt evolve it devolved..St8 poison now..Crack,gangs,wefare and most importantly rap because it promoted all 3 simultaneously
Its toxic. It has everything the devil loves. We all love a hard, aggressive beat and strong lyrics. But the only way to save hip hip is to infuse it with spiritual heat and aggression once again. Because this street life and criminal mentality thats dominating the culture is gonna kill it.
Theres rappers talked about street life without promoting it in a toxic way like Scarface. But todays rap & hip hop is total crap!
@@MrDoom996Exactly.It's not what you do,but how you do it.
It's like saying films are bad because the horrror genre has taken over - one aspect is not the entire culture and there's more than enough alternatives to turn to
Drill rap and negative rap about dealing drugs, over sexualization of girls, guns......hell yeah it hurt our community
Hip Hop Has Given Black People Back Their Dignity & Made Some What An opportunity for further investments, Which I Think should invest in Africa!
Important, honest conversation here. Way too much negativity and criminality in the music and business. I don't feel you can be successful and SAFE in hip hop without some alliance with a criminal organization or figure as protection. Easy avenues for extortion.
Hip hop gave young black men an outlet(other races too). I work in IT, but I make beats almost daily and I DJ. My main genre of music is boom bap hip hop. It is the main thing keeping me sane in this crazy world. I only wish I had more free time to be with it. I'm very grateful for music and more specifically hip hop....
But, brother we failed to gain control of the contents of what we were supposed to contribute to the culture. It became festered with negativity, and has done considerable damage to the image of afrikan-Americans.
You’d be hard pressed to find a culture calling their women “bitches & hoes” on records, and make money at it.
Hip hop brought a since of awareness to many things that were not known not discussed in some cases it may have motivated people in other ways than what Umar is saying it may not have affected thousands of people but it has to start somewhere the bottom line is we need our own period I feel it can't be done here because things are in place already and it's easier to just utilize what is there it's set up for them to be in control if we were in our own land and system we would be forced to build together it would be survival mode
Hip Hop Gave some of us knowledge of self. Peace
Hell yeah out of 10 friends 7 of them fell for the trap other 3 had dads and was more scared of parents than police and understood it was for entertainment only
With out p o p a aka dr umar we'd be lost✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
This reminds me of gold diamonds and coffee.......
Definitely since B.I.G Killed kwame's career and fun rap with that Polka dot line, it was balanced at first, then we just got flooded with street talking shit and the fun and conscious started dying out
Dude?? Kwame was already out the game and running his own barbershop when Biggie spit that verse. I saw an interview where Kwame admitted that the "polka dots" were silly and looked ridiculous. His career as a rapper was already over around 94' and 95.'
@@Queenskid_75dude?? You definitely didn't get the statement. Big used Kwame as a statement more than personal bar
Rap= Negative vibrations
808 drums are for war rituals not EVERYDAY 🙉
Facts if i had a top ten list. Hip hop would be top three.
Hip Hop made them white executives fabulously rich and the black artists poor as hell. Call it like it is. We don’t own Nathan as a collective. Plus, it divided us as a community, it made big mes and little yous, Vanilla ice got more money than all the artist in your era combined. Not knocking VI but that’s a damn shame yall OGs have nothing for your contribution. Sad. I remember when it was called “Rap” and white folks was scared of it. “Hip Hop” the word, leave it behind and focus on Rap, take Rap Back. Peace. PS
In the 80s we were the computer programmers, the doctors and engineers on cartoons, white mans hip hop painted a false narrative that millions of us feel for. Instead of engineering degrees, we got faulty contracts that’s brothas didn’t even read. Cold game
Nobody "let's you" have power... you have to take it Lord Jamar 🤷🏾♂️
I believe the people need to pitch in by investing inside their own community
Hip hop as an industry or a culture doesn’t owe the Black community anything. What school has Rock and Roll ever opened? What bank did the movie industry create? None directly. Hip hop is art for an artist to create what the community can appreciate (or not). It wasn’t meant to be a vehicle for creating all of the pillars of the Black community
If hip hop was building institutions, they (power structure) would get rid of it.
It has. But that's only because we don't control it. The worst of the people on the street are not rapping, and if the rappers are still dying and going to jail how is them just rapping about it even a positive ?
Pro Era was the last wave. I love joey badass
Don’t let this distract yall from the fact that we’re still waiting on the “school”
***💯 💪 💯 ALWAYs***
Per Dr. Frances Cress Welsing - "rap musick' has annihilated the self-respect of Black People." Now tell us she was lying!!
Congratulation Digga, 🥂🍾
Fam somebody 😴 in the background?? 😂 😴 💤
try to imagine a world without hip hop.....i think we would have put our talents and energy into something that could have help to get the boot off our neck instead of becoming the court jester rocking people to sleep by entertainment.....
I'm a 57-year-old middle-aged Haitian-American man originally from Flatbush, Brooklyn during the early 1970s through the early 1990s that grew up with organic funky music and early hip-hop music, culture, and fashion and I can say that lyrical hip-hop music empowered me mentally and spiritually! It was spoken word poetry for the intellectuals. It was about masculinity and being proud to be a strong Black man!
It inspired me to look into my cultural history and societal current events.
I will admit that it's highly disappointing that with all of the billions of dollars that the music has generated in its history, we don't have any monuments dedicated to its contributions and genius.
The state of rap music today is embarrassing and in shambles! It's like a generation of demonic youth!
The devils and gangsters in the music industry started exploiting brilliant Black American musicians in the early twentieth century with jazz, blues, soul, rock and roll, and they are still exploiting and stealing from Black brilliance with hip-hop today!
I am 50 years old, and I listened to music through the 1970s to late 1990s. I agree that today's artists have destroyed a great genre of hip-hop music. However, hip-hop alone has not destroyed our community. We had parents older siblings aunts and uncles and sometimes neighbors to help guide us to be productive adults. Some will say there is a lack of going to church. I am going to leave that topic alone. However, who died and said LiL Wayne is a role model. I understand that our youth want to be relevant to their peers. I agree with Denzel Washington that it starts at home. Children need discipline, love, and support. Once they decided discipline is not good for children, that became a problem. I looked at Suge Knight and shook my head because he was college educated and built a rap empire. Only he forgot to behave as a real businessman, and he is in prison for murder. Who has control over death row records catalog some white Jewish woman. My mother and I would listen to Eric B. And Rakim, Public Enemy and LL Cool J. I returned and listened to Motown. We can't blame hip-hop on our children behavior no matter how negative it is. I look to provide values, morals, and integrity to the youth. TV has a influence too while the show A Different World aired was the most black college graduates. I don't care about Cosby behind the doors. He still was about getting education
@nicolebailey4426
I agree with most of your observations and opinions. I can still recall during the 1970s when most Black families were still intact and there was less crime, less homelessness, abortions, and drug abuse.
A lot of things began to change during the 1980s within the Black communities with unemployment, single-parent homes, crack, and gang violence. However, I grew up in the suburbs of the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles during that time and fortunately, I escaped most of these problems. Coming from a loving Haitian, conservative, and Adventist household helped!
The Cosby Show and a Different World was a perfect example of solid affluent or working-class Black people. I still watch these shows today to remind me of the better days! Blacks took pride in their culture and appearance. God bless Bill Cosby!
Today, however, rap music and a large amount of Black people are at an all-time low! The messages are about Black women whoring themselves and about Black young males being illiterate, ignorant, violent, and easily triggered! A lot of it is about the destruction of Black people!
I believe that negative rap music is a very small part of this. It's coming from the historically racist Democratic machine, feminism, planned parenthood, the corrupt Christian church, immigration, homosexuality, and the welfare system.
I have more respect for the NATION OF ISLAM over the Christian religion today!
At the end of the day, how do you fool intelligent people?!
@zroy9263 You become individual to fool people, I am 50 years old, and I am fully aware that today's rap music is negative stereotypes of both black males and females . However, the black community has to take responsibility for their children. Rap music is controlled by the powers to be. In your household, you have control over your children about rules. Discipline is a must to raise our children. Be in mind that hip-hop is not just popular amongst black children. Other races have listened to this music. I don't have children, but I am close to my nieces, and I talk to them about goals. I am a nurse and a former Army Reservist. Children have to see positive role models in reality. So any positive black person sees a child that they can teach do it while they are young. I grew up a poor single mother who was divorced by my stepfather. For all my mother's faults, she did whip us far and few between. She loved us. I personally believe that when they (powers to be) interfered with parents in discipline and obedience, you can teach a child good fear.The type of fear if I misbehave this way, my mother would kill me. We, as adults, have fear that if I kill someone, I don't want to go to prison or hell. If you have small children, you need to play appropriate music. I don't watch television because it shows emferrment men and screaming women. Hip-hop for me was an outlet, and I was in my teens when it was popular. I figured if I can't listen to the same music or watch TV with my mother, then it's not allowed. Plus, when a child displays criminal behavior, the parents are going to be blamed, not hip-hop..
@nicolebailey4426
If it were that simple regarding parents raising their children correctly, then why are Black Americans suffering more than any other ethnic group in this country from broken households?! There has to be ACCOUNTABILITY!
Black people are oftentimes their own worst enemies. Constantly complaining about the white man and the system has become really tired rhetoric!
Too many of our people are continuously choosing what isn't working for us as a community. I agree that different ethnic groups are also rap fans, but they're not living for and being guided by that shit! It's merely a parody of ignorant Black people to them.
The Democratic Party is a perfect example! This is a political party that was founded on the preservation of slavery and hatred. Do you think Jewish people would ever support a reformed Neo NAZI political movement?!
The so-called civil rights movement, the feminist movement, and integration, money-hungry and corrupt
pastors, along with the racist Democratic machine, have systematically destroyed Black communities over the decades!
And Black people still believe in that sell-out Obama and that racist Biden!
Oh yeah, and fuck the Republicans as well! I think that the NATION OF ISLAM is one of the best examples of the Black American communities throughout the United States!
Umar just wanna argue and deflect from his devious behavior. People always wanna put responsibility on rappers (entertainers) they never do that with R&B, Rock, jazz, Country, or Pop music etc.
Its a powerful tool and why it was so important to corrupt it and those who listen to it. Rap use to teach, motivate, inform and now its 304, drill which does not help but harm. Even with that its fine if you want to listen to it. But after golden age there stopped being a balance of music. We had options of what we wanted, where and when to listen to it. Today they have silenced options so it feels like there is only way to go and thats.....self destruction, where headed for self destruction
Think about this hip hop and sports is all we got it seems if they dont wanna play sports they wanna rap now this cant be it but it seems it is and has been for awhile
We need more andre 3000 flute prints, music would change. Thats why i like the lil uzi just making a dance party song without lyrics of stuff he doesn't do.
That flute album boring. But I get your point. We are better off with instrumtal music than consuming what these rappers are talking about
Yes!!! Dr Umar is correct. We goin backwards fast
I would liken hip hop OGs to soldiers who fought the Afghan War, maybe?
To fight so hard, risking life and limb and witnessing the unthinkable only to watch the country you fought for again be taken over by the very people fought against not a decade later..
Same kinda thing with hip hop. To see what hip hop could have developed into during its initial stages, a culture of truth, positivity, and education for the black community especially, to the soulless whateveritis of today.. it’s just sad.
But there IS good hip hop out there still. You just gotta dig to find it.
nas said hip hop was dead bacc in 2006 what r we talking ☎️ about
