Yeah, but if the community is worse off now than it was then, what good did the song do.? People of high morals will accept this song. What does that say about the rest of the community?

[@jerronataylor8564]

These lyrics really hit deep, highlighting how we gotta break free from the past's messed-up cycle. It's like they're saying, "Wake up, be real, and take responsibility for our own actions." It's not just about pointing fingers; it's about all of us stepping up, dropping the bad stuff, and hustling for a better community vibe. Real talk about breaking free and doing right by each other.🖤🪮🖤🪮🖤

@@jamesjones2173 Research the 1996 Telecom Act that President Bill Clinton passed. It took away the creative control of the DJ's at the local radio stations and gave the control of the airwaves to major conglomerates like Clear Channel, Viacom, Disney, etc. Now Clear Channel decides what artist is hot now not the streets and these rappers are copying the next man instead of being original.
