Is this cool with you? (nh)

Post by Gyangsta 4 Life »

Are depictions of violence and aggression and general 'ignorance' among blacks in rap, that are this gratuitous, entertaining to you? Be honest.

Chief Keef's video isn't even violent at all... it's just a sausage fest :copy:

Truthfully, I enjoy a lot of this kind of rap. I'm a fan of Troy Ave, Max B etc. Chief Keef is okay too.

Sometimes, though, IMO it gets taken to Nas-hanging-Jay-z-in-effigy levels of unnecessary.

Are white people in their 30s (who, I presume, comprise most of the bloggers that are at least partly responsible for this stuff being as popular as it is at the moment) really comfortable chanting along to "a bitch nigga: that's that shit I don't like" around other people in the real world?

CRAP is outta control.

I don't want to think that Chief Keef wrote that song down, word to Biggie's rhymebook in his head. "I Don't Like" is SO basic, cavemannish, and stunningly stupid and simple, that the entire thing better be a freestyle that went viral... like a song version of genital warts! :fail:

Sometimes it is. Generally it isn't. Those videos are fun enough to watch, so I guess the answer is "yes" (?) Why don't you just cut the bullshit and say whatever it is that concerns you.

Partly responsible for a certain type/level of fame, maybe. But Keef had hundreds of thousands of youtube views before anybody who covers the Chicago scene from a blog level really even knew what the fuck was going on. Keef was built by kids in the Chicago Public School system. The fact that 30 year old whites latch onto it is another matter, but shouldn't be surprising.

I find Keef enjoyable in moderation, but I have to be in a certain mood. Either way, it's not what I was expecting given the thread. Troy Ave is great, and the video is a reasonable homage to Nino, but it's not the type of thing I'd watch over and over (not like I really watch many videos more than once these days). I do listen to Troy's music regularly though.

This is how it's supposed to be done. This shit is immensely entertaining to me, not corny or cartoon-like.

is '30 yr old white bloggers are making this stuff popular' the new 'the labels are forcing people to like gangster and pop rap'. this stuff was taking off on its own.

stop giving them more importance than they deserve. you cant control what goes viral, you can only shove how it's discussed in one direction or another.

imo the sooner the entirety of america takes ownership over how its raising all of its children the better. no one was shocked by how keef was living when they could ignore him. keef isn't a puppet. everything about the 'i don't like' video was created by his peers. the song was produced by an 18 year old and starred a 16 year old and 19 year old. it was shot by a 23 year old, who uploaded it to youtube. these four people put it in the public sphere. it made its own success.

for what it's worth, i'm not really into the troy ave video; when i don't like the art, i find the violence off putting.

That said, obviously I do think that unquestionably for lots & lots of white people, yes, depictions of violence and aggression and general 'ignorance' among blacks in rap, that are this gratuitous are entertaining to them.

I don't really care to discuss the perceived social impact of rap music or its right to exist or how America is raising its kids or who put Chief Keef up to it.

Just simply wanted to know if 30 year-old white people (and people in general) genuinely enjoy this stuff, especially among their real life peers.

...which you answered lower down. Thanks.

By positing your query you've indicated to the entire board that you have few-to-no friends and have lived a dangerously sheltered life.

I'm intentionally avoiding saying too much because then every response to this thread becomes a reaction to whatever people think my personal views are.

But anyway, IMO there's a significant difference between reciting a Nas verse where he says "nigga" a few times (even if not used as a term of endearment)....and singing along to a song where the central refrains are "fuck nigga", "snitch nigga", and "bitch nigga".

I dont' live in the United States. Rap music isn't as popular here. I'm likely one of literally a handful of people in the entire country that even know who Troy Ave and Chief Keef are.
