We Are Losing Our Rappers!

[Of The Universe]

It seems every day the news brings word of another rapper shot dead. Just the other day,Baby Cino was shot to death just after being released from jail.
I don't have to remind you of the tragic killing of Nipsey Hustle!
But there are so many others.
Now today we learn that Lakevia Jackson,the mother of a child of Young Thug ,was shot outside a bowling alley in Atlanta,in an argument over A bowling ball.
I pray for that child. And I pray Young Thug is not,himself,in danger.
What do we do to protect our most vulnerable and valuable community,rappers?

The energy you put out comes back.

This, they need to live long enough to end up in movies.

 

[Lost Magic]

Fucking hate rappers anyway. Especially those stupid gangsta ones.

 

[darkwater]

I have no sympathy for people who glorify violence, drug trafficking and disrespect for women.

 

[Weebster]

The culture that ruined common decency.

 

[Dysgenic Pup]

Another mumble (c)rapper down. Good riddance. Them kids are up to no good. Remember when music was actually music? Yeah, me too. Kids nowadays. Guns, violence, money, and women... smh. These youngins should pull up their pants, put down their guns, and pick up some Bibles.

Is this supposed to be sarcastic?

Yeah, I have no idea how people enjoy rap music to be honest. 90% of them sound like they're singing out of their asses, can't understand a thing they're saying.

Nobody deserves to be murdered. There is something to be said about those from the outside glorifying that culture who have no business doing so (those living in safe communities, for example). Some people aren't born with that luxury and are born and raised surrounded by "gang culture" and to them, that's all they know. Family and friends could be in gangs. In those cases, it's a tragedy.

As much as there are many singers who glorify this shit there are still good artists who use music to denounce the police violence, child abuse, rape, government corruption, I really like these song talks about a child who has a mother who is addicted to drugs and is tortured by her own mother

Yes, there are a lot of good rappers. To think every artist of a very popular genre of music is a thug is nonsense.

 

[Tristan]

Some of them do live violent lives, guns, gangs, etc. I do get surprised though when one commits suicide cause they all so tough on the outside.

"...It's all part of the game."

Also, "...this shit ain't no game."

[WhiteRabbit]

A lot of them rap about drugs and violence because that's what they were/are surrounded by. That's how they grew up. Count yourself lucky if you can't relate to that.

You thought that was good sarcasm? Minus the Bible thing everything else is unironically reasonable. And as much as you might loathe Christianity, it's still better than rapping about drugs, fucking bitches, having luxury clothing and killing people. Duh!

 

[Someone123]

It's not a great mystery how people who promote violence in their music over and over often end up dying by violence; there seems to be some connection between promoting violence in a graphic way over and over and then becoming a victim of violence.

 

[Feeding Pigeons]

Is this supposed to be sarcastic?

I was wondering the exact same thing.

Yes.

I refuse to be heckled by Bill Gates

Also I think it's amusing when people get gunned down in the street. You with me guys?

Tupac was the goat.

He died speaking to a police officer after being shot. His last words, "Fuck you."

What a dumb ass racist thread. Small dick energy everywhere

I wouldn't go as far to say it's racist but it certainly is corny.

 

[fox_wannabe]

I do not know shit about hip hop culture.
Sad Tupac died. I watched movie about him.
So many rappers die or commit suicide. Rebellious artistic souls

Hitler had a micropenis and his paintings didn't sell well, that's why he started WW2.

I dunno how we got from dead rappers to this.

But yea when you flaunt wealth in front of others there's a tendency for people to want to take that from you...

We got here because I woke up with a fantastic disposition for shitposting.

Ah. I get you. I agree. Though to be fair, these shit-for-brains "artists" need to flaunt their wealth and crimes to have a career and make money, don't forget that. Blame the game not the players.

Rap culture ruined the U.S. by glorifying ignorance, vice, violence, cheating, hedonism, debauchery, etc.

You give rap culture wayyyy too much credit for "ruining the U.S."
