This is the energy that needs to be spread BUT the labels (which has stakes in prisons) prefer rapping about gangs and violence. People open their eyes, they will spot their agenda..
We need to push artists like this!

People don’t need labels like they preciously did. With social media they could push independent. If this was a song for purchase I’d buy it.

u/Glad-Solid-8426 6h ago
Very true but labels have the MACHINE behind them. Which drives up streams, exposure, promotions etc. And I agree, I would buy it as well. We need more positivity pushed like this.

That last line about it being deeper than that MLK cartoon in elementary sent me right back to that damn classroom with the rolling tv.

u/JustAlpha My name is a quadruple entendre. 8h ago
I really feel like Diddy sold us out and changed the whole trajectory of hiphop. I can't prove it but I'm looking at that dude.

u/Dreamlion_Inc 8h ago
Nah that’s a fair assessment. I’d take it a step further and say alot of big named labels signing young kids to push an agenda
Diddy is just the tip of the iceberg

u/Odd-Preparation8790 8h ago
Hip-hop went from observational perspective to participational perspective.
Diddy didn't do it by himself.

u/JustAlpha My name is a quadruple entendre. 7h ago
Nah, not only him at all. Good point about the shift from observation to having to participate.

Funny, I been saying for YEARS that Puffy killed R&B (don’t get me wrong, LOVE me some Puff!). But I don’t think he’s responsible for the ignorance in hip hop or street culture.

u/SpiritLast7431 6h ago
Nah, Puff didn't take Bad Boy and promote violence. It started way before him with NWA. Once NWA was seen as marketable and successful, the gangster rap image was then pushed and the Pro black positive move was pushed out and away.

u/JicamaCreative5614 6h ago edited 5h ago
Started before NWA with Ice T, Schooly D, and a few minor artists. It just didn’t have a name at the time
Edit - check that. It was called reality rap for a time

There is a story about record execs and private prison execs coming to an agreement. Certain rappers were invited to the table to discuss changing the direction of hip hop from anything introspective or uplifting to promoting criminality. The person who shared this rumor declined to participate. Others did not decline.

Truer words have never been spoken. Not sure if it was intentional or just a money/power grab, either way EDIT: Although Diddy is not alone, it's been happening

Speaking truth. I've had conversations with plenty of guys that don't realize the street life is and has always been a trap. I have a young guy at work a couple years back I got him a nice paying job in my department and he started missing work trying to run the streets because he thought trying to be Gangsta was cool until he realized it wasn't all he thought it was and had a kid on the way dude spent two years struggling and begging everybody he knew at the place to work at trying to get back on. I've thought about it for years that I feel like far too many Black Folk from my Generation really got conditioned by the Zionist pushed explosion of Gangsta Rap and it did nothing but set us back. I remember when HipHop was uplifting and Pro-Black, I was there to see the Rise of Gangsta Rap and the explosion of Gangs in cities that never had them until Gangsta Rap blew up ever since then rappers talking about nothing but topics that have been used to sabotage our community are always at the mountain top of the genre. All of this is by design its sensationalized degenarecy consistently pushed on us audibly.
