What these guys don't admit is that when they rap about their past, they don't rap about it in a negative light. So it may be their past, but the glamorization of it leads to someone else's future.

[@TrizzleTV]

Yes indeed! Music is powerful and what these kids hear they embody it. Anyone that says music doesn’t influence minds is delusional

[@xaviercr92]

You summed it up perfectly! I’ve got no issue with rappers using their past as inspiration for the art, but there’s little to no balance! You can’t only rap about how you’re out here hitting licks and spinning blocks and then never rap about the time you had to spend in prison as a result. At that point it’s dishonest storytelling

[@joshuasutton983]

There was violence before rap and there will be violence after rap. If you’re committing crimes because a rapper was saying words in a song, that is your parent’s fault for not teaching you how to think for yourself. Everybody has to accountable for their own actions.

[@xaviercr92]

@@joshuasutton983 that’s true, but on the other end is an artist not responsible for what they put out and glamorize through their art? JuiceWrld literally told Future he started doing hard drugs bc of his music, and I think all the time about how things might be different if Future hadn’t promoted drugs as heavy. As a fab of the music I’m not saying artists should censor themselves but be honest about the good and the bad tho

I like some of his music and I never thought about shooting anyone. Music is a form of expression and if you’re kids aren’t smart enough to not do everything they hear in a rap song, that is a parenting problem.

[@xaviercr92]

I think it’s a strong message coming from him especially. There’s no doubt that rap should be taken as entertainment rather than lifestyle, but I do agree that in order for people to take 21 seriously, he’s gotta acknowledge that some of the music’s content has had the power to influence impressionable minds with no real mentor figures. If he can do that, whether it’s in the music or otherwise, I think it’ll be way better received, because he’s right, the violence needs to end 💯

[@TruuReligionn]

Music is one of the most powerful influences on the mind and it shapes your mood and view. The reason 21 even makes the type of music he does, and how he lived his life in the hood is because of music and culture. The type of tattoos, the grillz, even the gun you choose to go drill with (dracos, glocks, etc) is chosen because you heard about it in the music at an impressionable age.

[@surgeonso4345]

Music even influences the cars ppl purchase too. Hellcats, Trackhawks and SRTs are hood favorites.

[@luvstax324]

@@OBsurdityTV none of them relate to what 21 is saying. Just like grand theft auto, they'll play it , but there much less likely to have to attempt something like that in real life. Could be social, economic structure or just plain old environment. But there's a reason one group buys more tickets than the other disregarding the genre. The artist don't speak on things that portray those white lives, they do to those that are in the hood. A sense of rebellion, and ofcourse the most eager ones to act out would be the ones who don't have the capacity to understand right from wrong from a moral or objective standpoint. If the person you're listening to is telling you the bad things you're doing is okay and they're successful, they listen to be like them one day. It's all designed purposely. To lead the blind to pitch black while robbing them and to judge them while knowing they come from the same upbringing as these artists.

@@xrated2k3 Art imitates Life, Correct? If you are intelligent enough to understand for self that it is a character then whether you embody it or not is between you and yourself but the premise is, to understand the separation. Which is why at one time so many of us never knew E40 was married, Snoop was married, Ice Cube... There is a difference also in those who use the art form to escape and those who use it to fit in, joining a gang at 27 in order to rap about it compared to being from a gang regardless and using the art form to represent and make it out. But also there is a difference in Underground Rap and Mainstream Radio Rap and that's where the Character Rap lives!

[@benevolmind]

@@xrated2k3 Because it's hard to understand , that regardless it is up to that individual artist to know how to separate the two and too what extent they do. Real niggas still don't like taking pictures, so know the difference in putting on a show and telling on yourself. If you know how to the importance of changing the name to protect the innocent, then the choices an artist makes is upon them. If your really bout that life, make a character that is not,. don't get on stage rapping about the 10 bricks in ur trunk that is really in your trunk because you want to embody your character. And if you take the time to read it, soak it in, read between the lines, you know what I am saying. Ignorance is not an excuse, if you knew better you'd do better!

[@benevolmind]

@@xrated2k3 Social Media has made artist feel the need to be a character 24 7 for post likes and views, to where before social media, you would only see artist when they performed and released a video, so whether they were really living that life or not, we had no idea, and only found out through media when they did something pertaining to actually living that life on the news or finding out they are nothing like that at an award show or interview.
