SMH, I said in an earlier post that Wayne is part of the problem. I am not so foolish as to place blame on ONE person for a whole group of people. I apologize if I came off rude (thought I'd get that out the way).
I grew up in a welfare household where I had no farther present. I hope you are...
You...you can't be serious right now. Throughout this whole post this guy sat here and wrote nothing that was a complete sentence. Can you speak without saying bitch?
On to your statement.
I'm ignorant but you have no idea the power of mind right? It takes something 3000 to become apart of you...
56% of black children grow up fatherless/have no postive male role models in their life. This is more than double the rate of other groups.
72% are born to unwed mothers.
More than 60% of the people in jail are blacks.
Continue to believe that music has no influence over kids whose...
They don't hear you. These are the same people who think racism is over because Obama is President. Ha! The same people who think Wayne is GOAT. Ha!
Niggas don't even know that MTV & those WHITE labels are run by racist, was created by racists.
OK. OK. We get it. Those 5 words solve everything. But how can these grown parents raise their own children when they haven't be raised by their parents or they've never had a good example to follow when it comes to relationships? Or how about when the parents themselves are accepting Wayne as...
I'm not speaking about you or any (wo)man on this forum. I'm talking about those kids who see someone who looks like them in the media and come to the conclusion on their own that he is the standard of being a black man. It's unfortunate that those same kids can't look to their parents,but not...
Nowhere did I say those things didn't factor in. If it doesn't apply to you, it doesn't apply to you. But I know many who it does. Everyone around me are stans of Ross, Wayne, Drake, etc. & when this nigga Cole arrived & dropped mixtapes like Friday Night Lights they felt taken off gaurd because...
1.) Mainstream is where the power lies. The success of society depends on how we raise the generation that will run it. They're not learning in school (school-systems fails), instead they learn from the media. And today, hip hop is what everyone all over the world is listening to. MAINSTREAM hip...
Of course, but what I mean is there is, in the back of their mind's, that what if. What if Cole World does decent? What if he delivers more of a classic than TML will ever be? What if, like Wayne & Jay did, he builds a stronger and stronger fanbase, climbing higher with each release? Don't...
First off, I don't know what made you think I stan for Lupe, I don't. Stop assuming what I'd say. You don't know and you never will because Lupe never will sell that many. Whether Nas or Wayne, I think the diversity of hip hop is gone. Same content, same flow, same image. Do you disagree...
And I completely understand that. Whatever floats your boat kinda thing. My issue comes in when people attempt to act like mainstream hip hop doesn't have an BIG influence in the way people act and how they approach situations. Or when niggas attempt to imply that no politics are involved behind...
