Floyd Mayweather Accuses Rap Industry Of Making It “Cool” To Be Drug Addicts
- Thread starter JamesATL
- Start date
Guess I am out of touch because I don't listen to any of these new gen man purse wearing rappers.
He's right. Cats went from telling about dope to selling dope and now doing dope on wax.
No, I'm saying why at you expecting people performing for profit to have other peoples best interest at heart when the do what they do???
Drug use in music isnt new. We grew up listening to worse shit, than they have now. But unless your real role models completely wet the bed, you didn't go out and do the shit they said in the songs, right??? But cause it's rap, it's gotta be the root cause for all of our communities ills, when it's just a reflection of it. There are reasons for that, that have little to do with black people though. But famous folks won't ever go that far. Just point the finger at surface shit.
This ninja can barley read is he to be a role model because he can slip a punch??? Then why are rappers???
This a whole lotta deflecting to get around the fact that he's right about drug use being a popular theme in rap. That's a fact.
O'really ?????? You defiantly can't be serious!
Future 1st verse mask off
Yo
Percocets
Molly, Percocets
Percocets
Molly, Percocets
Rep the set
Gotta rep the set
Chase a check
Never chase a bitch
Mask on
Then he's right about ALL FUCKING MUSIC and he should say ALL MUSIC. I swear ninjas ONLY come down on the easy targets. Should I say Floyd is popularizing illiteracy???
True indeed. The challenge is positive has to appear "cool" and evidence of being successful to them. Sad it is that way but true.
Yep from selling it to using it. That is why the commercial rap game is on some mumble mouth junkie shit cause these cats really are high and zombied out.

I hate the defense drugs in music isn't new, that's a terrible defense. That's saying well they did so we should be able to do it.There's a big difference in what's being put out now compared to the music of the 60's,70' S, 80's involing drugs. Today's music is a lot worse than the music of today.
But if the radio is constantly playing these subliminal messages some young people will end up corrupted (hooked,seller,dead or in jail)
So a song that came out couple months ago is to blame?
It's not worse, we're just older. It's not an excuse. It's a fact and for him, and everyone else to pin point "rap music" as glorifying it is obvious low hanging fruit. Is he right??? Yes... Much like me saying the fast and furious series glorifys street racing. Now that the easy part is done... What are we gonna do collectively to make it better, outside of the capt obvious statments???

That's where positive role models and environments come into play. Like I said, it's not new, we grew up on it too. Not saying it's how shit has to be. But they're artists trying to sell a product to their fanbase. It's not their job to raise your kids.

It sure ain't helping is it?
Point is .... the new generation is wrekless than the ones above them (so on & so on) think bout it in this song it's reapeated over n over n over again in rhythmic fashion. Now back then Bone thugs did it but it was 99% weed that they were saying. These drugs are waaaay harder than weed. These young niggaz are idiots..hell chicks these days GET DAMN NAKED SPREAD PUSSY ON FB GROUP SPLASH- just cause of the likes! In 90's BITCHES GOT PAID... see where the downhill is???
good point. just look at the way mike & prince (supposedly) died.Parliment, Bootsy Collins, Sly and the family stone, was some coke sniffing, acid dropping, pcp smoking as people along with everything else.
Just part of the music game, I guess its true if your in a funk and need some creative expression to write a few songs get fucked up out your skull and that guitar keyboard will start playing itself
Maybe. This was around 1981. There were a few leftovers junkies from the 60's-70's, but you rarely saw them.
Shakin' ass is hard work. Not all women can make a glazed ham thump on command.
This cac Vlad is, Babylon tu rahtid....
Drug use is popular in MUSIC.
blaming rap for it solely is a miscarriage of justice.

breh...future is one of the most popular rappers out today and all that nikka raps about is codeine....and dont get me started on the houston rap scene that ALWAYS talked about sipping syrup....
where have you been?
Mask Off song by Future...the first few words he chanting Molly,Percocet is one of thousand examples.
I think it's fine for criticize rap as long you balance the situation cause not all rappers promote that stuff or drugs but Lean syrup drinking has become a fashion statement
Back in the day, the "druggiest" rap song of the mid 80s was by the first big white group the Beastie Boys.
"Slow and Low". You knew all the innuendo and hints were about some dope, and not "just" weed.
Even the rappers who talked about drugs did not do it in every song by the 90s.
Now, you can't listen to a whole album without more than half takling about getting high.
It does not matter if it is weed or not, getting the high is pursuit of doing nothing.
If your life revolves around it then you are doing nothing with your life
He can go straight to the boardroom of Time Warner and complain to all those CACs who encourage and financially support it
Don't blame the rappers cuz there are lots who aren't about that message, you just aware of the ones who are due to whose behind then

Your a fucking idiot
Agreed. I think Floyd understands that this is a cultural thing that has to change.
It is also no defense to say that this group or that group got really high. If their songs was not about drugs, that was not directly promoting their life.
Old School Rap was about rhymes, battling. A subgroup from this was the conscious rap which was a shock to the melanin deficient
Too Live Crew made lewd sex popular - shock value
NWA made the life of the streets popular - guns, gangs, pimping = shock value
South made partying in general popular. Bass and coming up - big ass speakers mayne, pimping, horrorcore
Now Today,
It's like this group of rappers out Today are really lames who have nothing of shock value to say but how high they can get.
If u consider it to be or not, weed is a classified drug. And hip hop condones it. But it is just a plant.
You don't even have to be "cool," just give off the illusion you give a shit, and put forth the effort. Spend some time with kids you don't know. I volunteer at a middleschool as a d-line coach football season. It doesn't have to be some earth moving thing we do. Just try. To allot of those kids a dude being around to talk to, that isn't trying to slip their momma dick is welcomed.
But... We wanna take the obvious stance, point our fingers and play self righteous......... That's a bigger issue. Some of these dudes probably got their chests poked put cause they think they're arguing the right side of things. But don't do anything for anyone but themselves and place blame on some rappers making music... Floyd included.
He's right but for musicians and entertainers, drug use isnt uncommon.
However it wasn't always promoted in the music like it is with rap.
