This is something I've thought long before I became redpilled in the past year. I've recently read that this was deliberate, a form of cultural and psychological warfare by shadowy elites. While that wouldn't surprise me, at the very least the degeneracy of gangsta/thug culture has weaponised hip hop.

I once read that it was to fill the prisons which had just become privatized.
One of these traded on the exchange, Corrections Corp of America. Their stock did soar.

Who controls record labels?

Once upon a time, there were a few "conscious" rappers. Now it's all negative, all the time. Freedom of speech doesn't include inciting violence and riots.

The negativity and "thug life" culture has been promoted and required by the record labels, because they want to push an image to sell their "artists". Oddly enough, it's pushed by the same people that push gun control.

Music is a reflection of the society that already exists. You can't blame hip hop for gangsta culture in the same way you can't blame Marilyn Manson for murders of school kids. OP, you sound like a stuck up old suburban mother hen scared about her perfect children becoming corrupted by that 'evil music'. Take away the racism and you just have an overly protected white boy whining about pop music.

Overly protected? Funny how'd you assume you know my entire past and present from one post. It doesn't matter what I think of you; you're so self-assured already.

It all comes down to freedom of speech and how far we're willing to let it go. Can an adult listen to this crap without becoming indoctrinated by it? Probably. Can a child? Not as easily. When you're told from a young age that "this is a part of your culture," you're much more inclined to just believe it blindly and imitate the actions shown to you.

How do we retroactively parent adults and teens that never even mattered to their own thug parents?

/v/atheism has been fighting this type of battle for years, just sub religious for thug. On one hand, interfering would violate the rights of the parents to raise their children however they want, on the other hand it would be stopping what could be easily considered child abuse. There is no good solution to this one yet. (Before I trigger anyone, I don't mean moderately religious views the same way you probably don't mean Will Smith albums.)

At least thug culture isn't a protected right... yet...

I agree much of rap is shit and worldstar is trash. But to say that hip hop is all violent and totally devoid of love songs is dumb and really shows that you don't know the subject matter very well.

That being said the breakdown of the black family because of (((welfare))) incentives and thug shit is rael.

Here are some songs that serve as evidence against your ignorant and baseless claim that all Hip-Hop music is hateful.

Slum Village - The Look of Love. A Tribe Called Quest - Bonita Applebum, Electric Relaxation. De La Soul - Oodles of O's, Trying People, Keepin the Faith. O.C. - Ma Dukes. Kool Keith - I'm Seeing Robots. J Dilla - Me and Those Dreamy Eyes (D'Angelo). Slick Rick - Hey Young World.

Newer: Binary Star - Reality Check. MF Grimm - Scars and Memories. King Geedorah - Fazers.

In France two of the most popular hip hop songs are Supreme NTM - Laisse pas Trainer ton fils (basically take care of your son) and IAM -Petit Frere (little brother) a song about a young man coming of age in a world brainwashing young people to glorify ignorance and violence.

This is a statement made with very little actual knowledge of "hip hop" and seems as such by insinuating that "thuggin" and "hip hop" are synonymous. Op go read some "Tribe Called Quest" lyric sheets. You will find nothing that corolates thuggin or violence racially motivated or otherwise. Or "De La Soul" or "Funk Master Flex", "Run DMC", this current spin off that is radio ready today is NOT, REPEAT, NOT hip hop.

I think you're putting the cart before the horse. Hip hop and thug culcha are merely one outlet of nigger behavior. They merely reflect what lies in the shriveled, rotten soul of every coon.
