When gangster rap appeared on the scene the industry they forced a lot of regular fun rappers out. So out went kid 'n Play, Chubb Rock and a lot of other rappers who weren't putting out gangster rap

But there was a reason

Makes a lot of sense. Why else would gangster shit be so heavily promoted? This was during the indecency in music era, but maybe that was all a ruse to get more attention to the gangster music. Ice Cube wasn't a gangster, Pac wasn't a gangster, but they were the most gangster portrayals at the time.

Till this day the most unanswered question in a movie to me was what was kid asking Tisha when they were in bed and she was like no I never did with aggression.. was he talking about raw, head, anal the world needs answers.. I need that addressed b4 I die damnit
Man, who knows. Back in the day girls used to get grossed out by everything. Some of those bitches never fucking grew out of that shit. Ask them to give you head in the '90s was damn near like asking them to bow to Zod now. They are met with equal revulsion.

Remember that movie The Brothers with DL hughley. One of them had a wife who wouldn't give head because her mother told her, "Good girls don't do that."

That shit sticks with a broad even though common sense should dictate that your parents were just trying to get you through high school without getting pregnant

We fought for it, not knowing that it was planted in our neighborhood just like crack was in the '80s in order to ruin us.

We told our parents that nigga was different than the word with the "hard R"

Some of us just listen to it as music with creative writing, but there are others who are smaller-brained went out and emulated what they heard. I used to love Spice 1. I never thought to emulate his music

I saw a study a while back saying that once prisons went for profit in the '80s and they designed ways to encourage filling them. And in the process murders post NWA went up exponentially. People acted out what they heard on CDs and you got black people killing each other, black people selling drugs and going to jail for it

I'm a fan of art, some popular, but mostly eccentric stuff. Gangster rap should have never become popular. It was targeting city living people of color. Why would such a niche art style get so much air time? I don't get John Deere commercials in Philly, but I get a lot of hair products(my lady fucking with my algorithm), and a lot of horror movies trailers.

I understand the disagreements, but the video is worth listening to.
I don't always agree with dude as he is a super-liberal, but the way he breaks down "industry plant" is not meant to demean but rather to show why K & P were favored over others.

Well he says in the video they weren't plants, I guess the title was for clicks and views


Edit: I do not like that YouTuber
That dude is one of those ultra left, ultra progressive, male feminist types who shames The Black Community (and Black men in particular) for not openly embracing LGBTQ causes and people. Basically, he's Mark Lamont Hill... (with dreadlocks).:yawn:

I've watched alot of his stuff and I 100% agree with what your saying.
I haven't watched many of his videos, but from the few I've watched I pretty much understood who he is.
He's one of those "new" breed of progressive & enlightened negroes who's never heard of a leftist cause he doesn't support.
:dunno:

Dude, it was obvious he was asking to go raw, nothing else ever crossed my mind from age 10-43. She got so defensive because she was supposed to be a goody two shoes on her way to a good college, her parents woulda kill her if she ever got pregnant.

This shit is silly. Kid 'n play had a good look they were okay rappers and people forget they were background dances for other groups. That's the big trifecta that you're looking for for a successful act. They look good they could rap and most importantly they could dance and then in that era that's exactly what you wanted in your rap groups.

Kid and Play was the epitome of HipHop.
They rapped about having fun and didn't curse.
They could dance and provided us with plenty of moves to emulate and take to the dances.
Their fashion sense was influential.
They had an animated series on Saturday morning.
They were movie stars.
I didn't even bother listening to that dude because the title alone is bullshit.
Certain people should not be allowed to speak on hiphop.

I just now realize who made this video. This dude FD Signifier I doubt if he has one drop of testosterone coursing through his body. I think Billy Porter might be more of a man than this guy.
