    This song is still bomb! This generation doesn't get true hip hop on the radio and most of them don't know what a conscious rapper is. All they are being fed is bull crap propaganda about materialism, sex, materialism, drugs, sex, and pure idiocy. Boogie Down Productions rapped about safe sex, Jimmy, with fly lyrics and knockin', beats... but these kids don't get to hear these classics or people like Immortal Technique or Phonte. It's time to change what goes in our spirits!

      I really believe the reason behind this garbage music on the radio these days is to put people in the prison system. I have a relative in the music business, he used to own a studio in Manhattan and has moved it to jersey. He told me that in order for a rapper to obtain a major recording contract these days he has to be willing to advertise expensive products in his music. Now when u think about it that this music is supposed to cater to the lowest financial class in the country what sense does it make to advertise products they can't possibly afford anyway? Well u also advertise that in order to get the wealth needed for such items u need to hustle or sell drugs. They also make it sound like going to prison or jail is some rite of passage. The end result is a lot of young people get locked up. There's even a rapper named Rick Ross who was a former correctional officer!! How ironic is that?? He acts like he rose to the top from being done type of cocaine kingpin when in fact he was the one tellin the drug dealers to get in their cage! The real Ricky Ross is even upset that this man uses his name to promote selling drugs when he knows most of these kids are not gonna make it. I really would not be at all surprised to find out companies that profit from prisons have a hand in the rap game. As a matter of fact I'm like 99% sure that they do. Sad

    • @missmimideon2452
      @missmimideon2452 9 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Mike Lomez Yes! There are definitely some shady reasons behind it. I talk to the youth, but most of time I feel like that Wu-Tang lyric, ", but shorty's runnin' wild, smokin' cess, drinkin' beer and ain't tryin' to hear what I'm kickin' in his ear."

    • @mikelomez4973

      Yeah it's almost like they've been brainwashed to some extent. When I was younger in ny it was rare to see a lot of guys in gangs now tho it's like askin what sports team u root for. Just another way to get locked up and honestly with the incarceration rates we are looking at, we're gonna have more of us losing our rights including the right to vote than we did with Jim Crowe. It breaks my heart

      Research how water works and you'll find some new information about freezing, melting, evaporation, and an exciting thing called precipitation. Water, like unique and interesting music, never goes away. It's always flowing into different forms and shapes, only turning into "nothing" to people who want to see the same thing over and over again. Mainly, people who are boring and/or lazy and only recall their favorite decade of music as "good" or only remember that one thunder storm from their childhood as "amazing".
