In an information age how ironic, the music has gotten less
informative.
It is intentional how we avoid the connection between minorities being shot
down in the streets and the violence in the music... Chicken or the egg right?
Either these degenerates (on both sides) are being spawn by the culture or we
are creating this environment out of ignorance. The reality no one really wants
to deal with is white cops can no longer properly police minorities in this
age. Barring those living under a rock, it is impossible to escape the never-ending
propaganda campaign to demonize minorities that being said how else can they
see us besides savages. In addition, sadly we supply the soundtrack to our own
genocide.
Music's reach is undeniable. From commoners to presidents to royalty, white black and everything in between everyone loves the hip-hop culture. Question is with such a powerful voice that touches the masses why is the underbelly of our culture the only music being promoted? Furthermore, why is hip-hop the only genre that allows this? Every genre of music has a sub culture of music interest that range anywhere from devil worship to rape and pillaging the world but those songs never get any promotion. Instead, they promote songs about human rights, empowerment and love.
Maybe it is a conspiracy or maybe it is the after effect of slavery and undiagnosed mental illness that makes us use our greatest weapon of influence to degrade our culture and devastate our progress. Imagine instead of violence, drugs and promiscuity hip hop promoted group economics, self-esteem and upward mobility we could make smart (S.U.A.V.E.) the new cool instead of an "acting white" thing #theworldneedssuave.
Ultimately, hip-hop is one thing that could actually change the culture. Of course that would mean artist as well as listener would have to take responsibility and that being said maybe it is all just wishful thinking... Either way I believe we have come to the crossroads
