I’ll say this. Think about rich white people and then think about rich black people. Most rich white folk are educated and excel in fields that don’t involve entertainment a majority of the time. Black rich folk are mostly entertainers but there is a small minority that have attained wealth thru education. Now when you have a group of deprived people with respect to money (blacks), they will always look for the blueprint, that road map to success. Be a dancer, rapper, video hoe, movie star and you can get out the hood. That’s all they see. The most successful blueprint so far is rap. So they will do that until the well dries up. Forget about the drugs and shooting for a second. That’s a cop out. There are bigger issues behind it.

Then think about the tv shows that degraded black people for being smart and intelligent. Carlton, Braxton, Erkel. They always got made fun of for either talking white or not being black enough. What kind of shit is that?
October 14th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
>>Selling is worse when its the main cause of self-destruction in your people.
^well I would strongly disagree with that statement.
>>So when your kid plays the new Jeezy, you can explain why its neccessary for him to get it for 17.5?? Come on son…
yeah, I can. just cuz you try to clown and phrase it that way doesn’t mean I’m any less equpped to explain to my kid why African-Americans, after 400 years of institutionalized racism might have to resort to less than legal means to feed their families. I’m not afraid of talking about that shit to my kids because I’d rather I explain it to them than some nigga on the corner.

>>the theme of crime in hip-hop is a direct result of racism in America.
do you think that if racism never existed in this country, and black people had been afforded the same opportunities as whites for the last few hundred years, that 1 in 3 black males would still be imprisoned? the fact is, we have undergone an economic apartheid in America and as a result have felt the need to resort to crime to survive. this mentality permeated the culture to the point where, even though we have it way better now, it’s almost expected for a young black male to be involved in some kind of illegal hustle. Hip-Hop music is a reflection of these cultural phenomenons.

on the real Ye was my favorite rapper till Graduation. He wanted to continue trying to uplift black folk. But he wanted that doe. I don’t know if you listened to “Stronger” but he said some pretty revealing stuff on it.

America has an ongoing history of treating minorities, especially Blacks, as lesser than whites. Laws and actions have been instituted to prevent them from progressing financially, educationally, etc. There are many clear and obvious examples of this taking place.
October 14th, 2009 at 5:57 pm
…..after 400 years of institutionalized racism might have to resort to less than legal means to feed their families….
^random: there has to be some way to balance the realization of this point and black folks progress through education and more legal or socially acceptable means e.t.c.
All the other ethinicities in the US did some dirt at some point, and now they have a good balance of illegal and legal means of earning (italian, irish e.t.c.)…and the scales (hopefully) tip alot more legal.
Blk folks balance is arriving gradually…maybe not fast enough for some people, but its definetly happening, especially considering how late we started, you know, with all the racial road blocks and what not.

for the most part, that’s not a part of their culture, why would they sing about it?
if you ask me, the drug users are the problem, not the sellers. drug dealers are simply entrepreneurs serving a market.
with the possible exception of the crack epidemic, I don’t feel sorry for anybody who gets hooked on drugs to the point they can’t function in society. ain’t nobody put a gun to your head.

I see I said. The part that disappoints me the most about this convo is that we (Nubians) always want to COMPARE our situation to that of white people. Why do we care what they are letting their children listen to? Why do we care about artists that have no relevance to our culture? Why must we look for a scapegoat in the white man to validate our ignorance just because THEY do it as well? I could give a fuck if any of those rock artists did lines if coke and smashed an abundance if white women right next door to me. Let’s stop comparing and start not only acknowledging but also fixing our own problems. Axl Rose did this, Gene Simmons did that… who gives a fuck?

Spoken like someone who knows nothing of the struggle.
I see homies who are intelligent but don’t have a diploma or any kinda paperwork and have a felony on their record.
They get it how they live and I can’t fault them.
I had options alot of cats don’t but I don’t look down on a nigga for how he gets it.
Now these little niggas selling crack for kick money instead of getting a 9 to 5?
They deserve what the game has coming to them.

well they starting naming those names because we said that whites as a culture, dont sell and reward their own artists for portraying negative influences and stimuli, BUT they reward black artists HANDSOMELY for perpetuating and glorifying the negative influences directed at our own culture …

>>LMAO @ Drug Sellers being labeled as “entrepeneurs” … you been bamboozled by the glorification themes apparently …
come on, give me a break. I’m not saying that the white man didn’t bring drugs here, but it’s not only Black people being affected by drugs. there’s more white people on drugs than black people. as far as niggas being pawns, well maybe they are, maybe they aren’t but at least they’re feeding their families. it could also be argued that any nigga who works for the government or any huge corporation in any position is a pawn. at least niggas selling drugs are reaping the rewards.
once again, ain’t nobody put a gun to all those Black folks heads and tell them to shoot heron or smoke crack, so all that blaming the white man for the drug problem in America don’t fly with me. anybody coulda brought the shit here, but it every individuals prerogative whether to use it or not. I’m a weed addict and I don’t blame nobody but myself.
October 15th, 2009 at 4:05 am
Wow. Now I’m not from the States so maybe I’m missing something but here’s my two pennies. . .
Firstly, no one is denying that selling drugs is profitable and therefore enterrising. However, the stance taken by eskay. . .that is shameful You’ve been listening to too much rap music I think. There is no moral justification for selling drugs. In particular, one must remember that the drug game is not the same as selling alchohol for example. A lot of violence comes with it. Violence which kills innocent people as well as “soldiers.” Their lives don’t matter to you eskay?
Secondly, unless you think that taking drugs is somehow okay, then you can’t justify selling them. Tthere are a lot of immoral things that have a huge demand. . .like child pornography for example. It’s trite to say that if no one watched child porn no one would sell it. But it’s immoral regardless. Once the object of the transaction becomes tainted, so too does the transaction. The problem with drugs is that unlike kiddie porn, you can argue that there are no innocent victims. Infact, you may want to liken it to adult porn where all the protagonists are adults. But once again, do you genuinely believe that the adult film industry is morally upstanding?
The power dynamics at play entrench exploitation.
Finally, comparing the drug game to corporate America doesn’t help. Here’s why. We all agree that some forms of conduct by corporate entities are immoral. Sweat shops for example? Or price fixing which hurts consumers. The difference is that because these activities are regulated, it’s easy to keep tabs on any immoral trends and proscribe them. Ironically, pharmaceutical companies have long been criticised for their conduct. The fact that some government officials on their pay role don’t do anything about it doesn’t mean it’s right. More importantly, the fact that you can point to this doesn’t justify the drug game. NEVER. I have plenty of sympathy for those who resort to the drug trade but given the chance, I would never legalise that trade.
