so high divorce rates in the white community was caused by rap?
The crack epidemic caused by rap?
The whore issue caused by rap?
Your fathers and granddads were CUCKS way before rap was invented and this led to the degradation of culture, *******

Lol at anyone thinking banning rap would solve the problems facing the hood. There's plenty of socially conscious rap out there, some of it is very popular too. Hasn't changed schit. It's almost like there's a deeper problem.


Just lol.

All of those rappers he mentioned literally have songs where they refer to themselves as "gangstas". Dude is retarded.

The song content which is mainstream now; murder, drugs, etc, has been popular since the mid 90s. That's why I say it's the majority, I'm not basing my opinion on 2018/19.

I'll be repeating myself if I reply to the rest of your post.

Rap Music Lyrics and the Construction of Violent Identities Among Adolescents

The author of the paper, cites a number of relevant studies...

Here is an excerpt, which backs up my opinon that the majority of rap is violent...

"Violence in Rap

Rap music content however, contains a large amount of violence in comparison with other media outlets. In a study done by Charis E. Kubrin (2005), he found many rap lyrics actually provide justification for violence on the street and a direct link to willingness to use violence to protect or defend identity and reputation. About 65% of all rap songs in his sample referenced a violent theme and violent retaliation was found in 58% of the sample (Kubrin 2005).

Kubrin also found that listeners hold the street code as a normal order to life and that rap lyrics are actual “reproductions of the code that describe black urban street life” (Kubrin 2005:375). He argues it is important to realize that rap is a characterization of urban life. It is clear that as conditions in the inner city have gotten worse in the last 10 years, the prevalence of street code has risen (Anderson 1994). Kubrin states that these conditions have “defined the context in which rap has emerged” (Kubrin 2005:365).

You seem to ignore anything academic that I present.

(Interesting thing about the above paper, the author states that studies that white and asian fans of 'urban music' are more likely to engage in violent criminal behaviour than black kdis who are fans of 'urban music'.

An excerpt:

Researchers found that overall; individuals more involved in property crime and violent crime are more likely to be “urban music enthusiasts”. Consequently, Black teenagers were more likely to be urban music enthusiasts but less likely to externalize the “street” behavior they hear in rap music lyrics compared to the White and Asian students. )

The paper suggests that white and Asians kids who are fans of 'urban music' try to 'be black'. And they associate blackness with violent criminality... So that's another reason why hip hop is bad... It's teaching people that 'to be black' (a 'real nikka') is to be a violent criminal.

Please read the paper, in the post above.

Yes.

Anyone who doesn't like rap music is a *******.

He was being sarcastic you brain-dead retard.

Im almost 40 and figured out a long time ago only black people can fix their society’s problems. We can talk about drugs, rap music, white man and slavery til we are all dead and nothing will change. The way you create change is personal responsibility. Its the reason a white guy in the trailer park or a black guy in the ghetto stay poor and in and out of prison and an asian or indian comes here with $5 and makes it. Its also the reason i get laid easily and the next guy that grew up playing dungeons and dragons is a 30+ yo virgin

he's been listening to too much rap music

you thought I read your dissertation?????

The paper seems more of an opinion piece which references other studies to try and substantiate it. However it says 65% of rap referenced a violent theme. Just because something references a violent theme doesn't mean the song inherently negative or "bad" and doesn't mean that it necessarily promotes and advocates for it. The same thing for violent retaliation, which could be justified depending on the context "i.e: I'd kill somebody if they hurt my child". It's not advocating violence per se, but describing what would happen under a set of circumstances. There could be one questionable violent lyric but that somehow means the song advocates it? And how was this sampled? Using Billboard 100? Hit songs of every year?

Are you?

I haven't ignored them, I've addressed them and they are not particularly relevant and you using that to try and substantiate your point was quite a bit of stretching. I've talked about this a few posts back in case you had missed this.This still doesn't demonstrate that being a fan of "urban music" causes this. It's entirely plausible that violent people like "urban music", or are drawn to themes of violence in general, you can't just look at two things and say aha there's a correlation, one must cause or influence the other.

It's like comparing the # of murders to ice-cream sales. You see a trend in which as murders go up so does ice cream sales. The possibilities here is that Murder causes people to buy ice cream. Or violence causes/influences people to listen to urban music. Second possible reason is that eating ice-cream somehow makes somebody to out and murder somebody, maybe because of a brain freeze lol. Or that violent music causes people or influences people to go out and murder. Third possibility for both is that there is a confounding variable, that many murders are committed in the summer and people buy more ice cream in the summer. Or that poor, socially and economically disadvantaged youth tend to listen to urban music, or some other variable. You get the point.

BTW, how significant was the difference?No it doesn't, it's not about trying to be black but being drawn to violent content in general, and trying to fit in/conform with what is popular and trending and "cool". See above explanation. And again, this all leads back to my main point of the importance of having a father figure and good parents to teach a child what is right and what is wrong and to steer their child away from criminal activities. If you take away urban music there are still a million other factors that can lead a child without proper guidance down the wrong path. This is why the common denominator of a solution is to address and concentrate on the socioeconomic issues. A child in an environment of murders, homicide, drive-bys and terrible parents are going to be drawn to these things regardless. Violence has been a problem in the black community before rap, what indicators do you have that it would be curbed significantly if rap were to disappear or reinvent itself? As I've pointed out time and time again, I've clearly said that violent music "may" play a part but it is not nearly as significant as the factors I've mentioned. So I'm not sure what you are trying to argue with me here.

It's not an accident.

It's one of the many tools the globalists are using to destroy Western Societies.

Turn off the idiot box, turn off the crap on the radio......try reading some history, learn how the United States was in the 20's-60's.

What did the elites in the socialist / communist intelligencia do after they lost WWII?

How can you all not see what fools you're being played for? Do some REAL thinking on your own, stop letting the media TELL YOU what to think, and "interpret facts" for you.

Let this weekend with all the fake News open your eyes to the agenda

says the cuck who only listens to eminem which somehow makes him a hip hop expert

Yeah, I said that it's a paper that refers to studies.Yep, but then it also goes on to cite studies that say there is a positive correlation between violent songs and an increase in aggression, which is the key part in regards to our discussion.Yep.

I present opinion, a related paper, and studies.

You just cite your opinion.

That's how it goes.

I think I have far more backing up my perspective than you, that's why I don't find anything you write persuasive.You don't, you isolate things, and when I present the bigger picture, you ignore it.

In your last post you outright said you were going to ignore what I wrote, and you posted rap vids instead.I agree.

Hopefully you don't view that paper in isolation though, and remember all the other studies, and points that I've made.

Like you even admitting that listening to aggressive music, increases your likelyhood to engage in violence.We're trading opinions, so...

I've seen and heard enough black people talk about the stereotypes they've encountered by non whites being taken from rap music.

I've experienced it, and witnessed it myself.

I think the author is right, the kids a probably overcompensating. Trying to be 'real'.I've cited studies regarding aggressive music and an increase in aggression and propensity for violence.

I've cited the study, and works or James Gilligan.

That's my case.

It's not quantifiable, but IMO everything points to it helping.I don't know what you are objecting to, if you think my point is valid.

(Regarding the questions you ask about the details of the studies cited in the paper. You have the names of the authors, and the subject matter. If you genuinely want to know the answer, you can google to find out yourself.)

The Misc Think Tank for Social/Fiscal/Foreign Policy Studies is always primed to offer irrelevant propagandist mewling.

I don'tk know about good or bad but some people argue that R&B and soul music was invented for "white ears" so that black entertainers could have a chance to make a success in the music industry. Hip Hop and Rap apparently is the "real black music" and the true voice of black angst and frustration.

Rekt. nicely done

I cant believe people dont understand the power of music/media. seriously, its like a willing ignorance

I have 'no idea what I'm talking about', and ' 6ix9ine is just a massive troll'.

A troll who pleaded guilty to 9 charges?

I don't really listen to rap music anymore, son. If I do listen to it it is straight up ignorant gangster or trap music that rides in the whip. I have literally zero Eminem music, nor do I ever listen to it. Go to ANY prison in the United States and guess what is the number 1 most popular form of music by a long shot? Eat a dik, Canadian ******* and stop dik riding American culture, it isn't for you.
