[@Chris65k]

To be fair, he actually did. I watched a video he made a couple of days ago, and he said he does what he does because he grew up on "that stuff" and ended up addicted to alcohol, and didn't speak to anyone of write any music for over a year.

His choice, but it was what he was surrounded by. Also, all the addictions were from self medicating. He suffers from anxiety and depression, and had a total mental break that last 10 months.

If you take the time to understand the cultures history you will understand like every other popular genre in music like rock for example, they tend to devolve or digress into the mainstream and loose their essence. This is the case for hip hop. There is no denying how destructive the current mainstream hip hop scene is. However, it would be interesting to understand why it is so and if alternatives exist.

[@deetee4403]

Which supported him into the path he took...it really isn't hard to understand.

[@trashketchum9782]

sometimes it’s glorified, but more often than not it’s just a brutally honest telling of a person’s life experiences. many rappers who struggle with addiction write lyrics about being trapped in that cycle, and how much suffering it can bring. that allows anyone else who has had that experience to relate to the music. just like many gangster rappers back in the day weren’t glorifying violence, they were telling violent stories from their own lives. the violence was a byproduct of their upbringing and surroundings. and yet other people in those circumstances could relate to the music. they also saw how it was for someone to make it out of that life, Biggie always rapped about how he used to be caught in the cycle of violence but rap was a way out for him, and a way to provide for his daughter and his mother. Biggie often celebrated no longer having to be involved in violence in his music. but most of the violent lyrics were again often referring to the violence as something they wished they could escape. you did have a lot of young people misunderstanding that message and associating violence with being cool, just like today you have young people associating drugs with being cool because their favorite rappers have music about struggling with addiction. i’ll admit that some rappers straight up glorify things like violence and drug use, but i think they too misunderstand why so much of hip hop’s subject matter deals with heavy topics like that. it would be like a female rapper making music about how she used to be a sex worker but rap allowed her to get away from that life and how terrible it was, and then everyone thinks she’s glorifying prostitution and completely misses the message.

The guy who made the atomic bomb, made it and gave to us b/c Hitler was on the verge of the same bomb and was going to use it worldwide, in many countries that where Hitler wasn’t winning. It would’ve been a lot bigger disaster. Plus, it ended 6 years of wars all over the world, it ended WW2. It stopped Hitler from dropping his own atomic bomb on many many countries.

Tom got his word in. Why are you listening

[@cream_city]

Trump did shout out Tom once in a tweet and is friends with people who know Trump personally. In “Piss The World Off” he says “Donald Trumps a good president”, which I agree with. Just adding context 👍.

Good for you!

@@JotbotAI-Naiajjaajajawhat kind of question is that? You don’t think you should listen to what the other side is saying? How does that make sense?

Once you begin a sentence with "as a ______ person I feel offended" I can't take you seriously.

Correct, super agree

Talib hasn't had an update in 20 years, still running Windows XP

[@P1xelat3d89]

More like that windows 98 😂

[@hysongreen]

totally agree

[@AT-yg4nk]

🤣🤣 that’s a good one

[@theloneranger8725]

Well, it's obvious that Talib is blowing it out his rear end. If there is a racist in the group, it's very evident that it's not any of the white men in this group. If I said to Talib that the sky is blue, he would reply that since I mentioned color, I must be a racist. The guy is uninformed, he's prejudiced, and is exactly in the group that Tom's song is aimed at. It's also obvious to me that he has TDS.

Lmao 🤣🤣🤣

[@JB-is4gt]

I’ll clarify talib’s point… he believes black ppl deserve a pass on everything. Which is why the black community as a whole is in the state it’s in. Crying racism isn’t going to solve any problems. Accountability will.
