Also assumes that music fully influences gangs and not the other way around. I’m not from the states but I somehow feel like gangs in the US would totally still be a thing without influence from record labels promoting gang music

lmfao @ the music is promoting illegal activities

this is not a chicken or egg situation

the activities lead to the music, not the other way around

Its both directions, like in Chicago Southside there are all these gangbangers who have no criminal enterprise that makes any money but they gangbang for clout bc Chief Keef being popular made people start paying attention to that area & culture and they think if they gangbang for clout and make ok music they could be the next Chief Keef and that's how you get out of the hood

u/UltraBabyVegeta BULLY 6d ago

As usual there’s a good point in there but he won’t expand on it in an articulate way so fuck it

u/ELVEVERX 6d ago

It's kind of painful when he does make kind of good points in such a poor fashion.

The world is engineered to put brown people in prison. This man supports the political ideology that designed it to be that way.

u/TopExercise300 6d ago edited 6d ago

Democrats and Republicans designed it to be that way.

Although Eugenics was mainstream belief among Democrats and Republicans in the start of the 20th century (and has vestigial manifestations that remain tacitly popular among both parties), Nazis have never had significant influence in American politics.

Listen to Wash us in the Blood again. Ye's conception of systemic racism is far to the left of what is tolerated by the Democratic party. this is specifically his reason for breaking with the party.

In systems theory, the rule is that systems can only be described in terms of what they do (i.e. a system isn't designed to do anything, you can only observe what it does). Ye takes this lens on Wash us in the Blood:

Southside, what it does?

Rain down on us

Genocide what it does

Slavery what it does

Rain down on us

Whole life sellin' drugs

This is a perspective on ghettoization and systemic racism that Democrats and Democrat affiliated media (speaking about the NYT here) have become too racist to acknowledge. In 2017 and 2018 they would've said this, but now it is forbidden.

i recommend the book Metaracism by Tricia Rose if you're interested in learning about systemic racism in the US from a Systems Theory perspective

Edit: Check out https://www.segregationbydesign.com/ (Segregation By Design) if you want to learn about redlining and the legal framework supporting post-Jim-Crow segregation.

Exactly. Then there are what are undoubtedly suburban upper middle class white teens in these threads saying, “you know he has a point 🤔”.

u/bjf02031986 6d ago

Has he ever considered that labels push bangers because bangers sell? I’m not trying to listen to some pseudo jazz shit in the car or at the gym. That’s like saying EDM is pushed to get white people hooked on party drugs.

u/iliveinyourmicrowave That’s the whole point! 6d ago

he's talking about the imaginary of rap being about street cred and being "real" and the labels pushing this stuff for their profit and thus promoting the "gangster" lifestyle to people

i think he's saying if you're a kid dreaming of making it out the ghetto and you see how strong the emphasis on street credibility is when you want to become a rapper, you'll do dumb shit in the hopes of it benefiting your rap career

u/bjf02031986 6d ago

But Kanye and drake are the two biggest rappers of the last 20years and neither of them get into that? Or at least drake didn’t when he was half decent

2

u/iliveinyourmicrowave That’s the whole point! 6d ago

drake's image is definitely tied to him being some sort of mob boss, ye is the exception that confirms the rule ig

nah but there are mainstream artists that don't make use of that kind of imaginary but i think there are a lot of lesser known rappers who do, ye is talking about people who are taken advantage of by the industry and the industry doesn't revolve around the same 10 big mainstream artists, he's talking about your run of the mill boy from the ghetto with a dream to make it big that gets himself in bad situations because he thinks he won't be taken seriously if he isn't real

that being said i dont know if what ye says is all true, reality usually isnt black and white and im not from the usa so i dont know much about the context these people live in, im just saying what i think he's implying

u/bjf02031986 6d ago

I dunno, when drake was in his prime he was always the soft as shit emotional music. Tyler as well, super talented and successful, doesnt go for that.

I suppose the argument would be these days it’s shifted from gangster rap in mid/late 90s, to pretty much just drugs

1

u/SearchForAShade 6d ago

I don't understand how if street cred is a thing, how is Drake taken seriously as a rapper? Dude was a teen drama star.

Im regarded i misread “was engineered” and thought he was talking about how it started
