So this Suge Knight guy is some sort of music biz bully? I was curious about him and started doing some research. I keep seeing youtube vids of him swinging at people, getting knocked out, scaring vanilla ice and bullying people into signing paperwork lol.

gangsta rap is literally the movement that did the most damaged to american blacks,
"yeah yeah G, not all rap music is negative, rap also shows the struggle blacks had to endure... blah blah blah"
Look around you, look at the inner cities, look at the prison rate, look at the hairhats and their deadbeat gangster lover, look at the number of children born out from single mothers, look at the number of blacks in prison, look at black on black murder statistic,
I'm not saying gangsta rap/hiphop is the causation, but you have to see the correlation,
if someone grows up hearing constantly that women are bitches and hoes, that being a drug dealer is more valuable than going to school and earning honest money, that a gun can solve any problems and that the only reason you can't escape your hell hole is because of ..sigh.. white supremacy, you end up not seeing all the possibilities and opening in front of you.
all these thugs ever did was to promote the most retarded behaviours, this is literally all gangsta rap was about, promotion of retarded behaviour,
I for one will not line up to watch this marterpiece of ghettoness,
- tldr; word to the muthapinkfloyd
- jk, yeah these things does have an influence over culture. It's a mix of everything I think. Family, enviroment, genetics, etc.pinkfloyd

- rhyming "causation" with "correlation" was dope-ation!chukkaphob
- on a serious note, the songs and the content of the lyrics was viewed as entertainment by ALL of my friends, including my black oneschukkaphob
- george, I feel youpinkfloyd
- aside from dressing like the dudes in the music videos, none of my friends emulated the actual lifestylechukkaphob
- read somewhere that black enrolment in universities in maths + science in particular was on the steady increase until rap, then it nosedived..._niko

- I love excuses...when I was 15 I thought I was og because of rap music. No respect for parents, terrible attitude and surrounded myself w/losersHayoth
- I kinda agree with Georges on this one.Ben99
- I worry more about what EDM is doing to "the kids" these day :|yuekit
- Different demographic. Your hypothetical kids perhapsgilgamush
- I think Georges makes a valid point and one that the hip-hop "true heads" like KRS-one have rallied against forever to no avail. its only a puffpiece film thougdocpoz
- Excuses. Excuses.
If one is weak/dumb enough to emulate entertainers, he/she deserves their "damaged" life.chukkaphob

Rap merely provides a reflection of society at a given point in time. It is an art form, nothing more. Influential? yes. And it has always been this way, from the disco-influenced beginning.
Of course you will see the societal correlation, that's it's intended purpose.
But ultimately it's just entertainment, something to enjoy, absorb some knowledge, fantasize a little and maybe learn how to avoid getting the gas face.
Rap before 'gangsta rap' often provided a similar depressing look at society, politics, class systems, etc. Just check out the lyrics to White Lines.
And I have to wonder if the gangsta rap effect hasn't had similar influences across all communities in America.
If someone emulates that gangsta rap fantasy lifestyle an they wind up hurting people, family, themselves etc. I would think that has more to do with their environment, upbringing and choices in life.
And yeah news flash... it ain't easy for the 99%.
There are systems that have been put in place from the very beginning here in America designed to keep you down, away from the glory, to rob you of your hope... but you have to ignore the propaganda, fight the power and make a positive mark in society.
It's not the fault of gangsta rap... but rather, gangsta rap may have simply been the first art form to hold up the most freshly-windexed mirror to society. And society responded, with Raiders jackets.
