[...] A couple weeks back, I wrote on the debate over hip-hop and gun culture. Anyone who spends any time tracking press coverage of hip-hop knows that when it comes to this issue, absurdity rules. In one corner of the ring: hysterical politicians that know nothing about hip-hop, but are perfectly happy to condemn it. In the other corner: die-hard rap apologists that are determined to defend even the most regressive elements of the culture. [...]

THERE’S VIOLENCE IN HIP HOP because the education which fosters self esteem is not communicated truthfuly or in an encouraging manner; also the same media that broadcast these negative images of sex, violence, and drugs should channel way more funding into artists who are creative and inspiring thus giving the fan/spectator/listener an alternative to the bull that’s marketed. ***This country was founded on murder and deciet so it shouldn’t sock every one what’s going on. As the evil system says trough it’s actions cheap labor (prison imates) is good for this economy. Just like war is a satnaic evil our system says it’s good, the diamond trade (modern day slavery), jailing system.. All these things are interwined to k
eep capitalism prominent. The US represented by henry kissenger put sanctions on jamaica when Michael Manley was prime minister.. They did it to stop the
Equivalent access to resources tat jamaica was trying to make happen…….How does relate to hip hop….well when you starve the people with lack of education and frustrate tools for empowerment people feeal they only can resort to negativity because “that’s what people want to hear”.

Solution….get real education not this deciet they teach… then collectively ban (corporations)….The good news is that it is happening.. the medi tries to down play it.. Search for te real news ad avoid the propaganda!!!

No one in politics or law enforcement cares about a rapper BEING shot. Now, if a rapper SHOOTS someone then all hell breaks loose. If a rapper is near a gun because the cops do absolutely nothing to protect them, even when on said rapper’s payroll (Biggie), they try to through them in jail. They will even go as far as to use their lyrics against them in court. Would they use Stephen King’s books and movies against him? Some of this I blame on the rappers and their desire not to snitch. I respect and appreciate that, but don’t then turn around and complain nothing is being done. How many people were at Busta’s video shoot? Howard Homecoming when Cam’ron was shot?

As to violence in hip-hop, I think Biggie put it best:

“It make me wann grab a nine and a shotty/ But I gotta go identify the body.”

Most existential moment in rap.

Still, shit hasn’t gotten as nasty (in the U.S. at least) as it was during the C. Dolores Tucker years.

i prefer that there’s not alot of mainstream attention in regarding of this, because the mainstream media will exploit it to the extreme.

whut’s needs to be taught is that these rappers need to leanr to be more responsible of their image, if you’re image is that of a thug or a gangster, you reap whut you sow. that’s exactly whut happened to big and pac…they reaped whut they sow, and the entire hiphop community was affected by it.

in the past, alot of rappers that the media considered them “gangsta” were more responsible. for one they understood the fine line between entertainment and reality, and also their music spoke on all sides of the square, making the message that the reality of the ghetto that they speak about is not glamourous at all. today’s rappers lack the understanding and are pressured to front an image that is not true to them, and leave with no message for the kids, therefore reaping for whut they sowed.
