8:00 Bullshit I´m white, east european wtf is that dude talking about, there is a different between white America and all other white people on this planet americans need to differentiate
was no such thing as gangsta music, what people did not realize is that NWA was concious rap, listen to cubs lyrics they are mad about what crooked cops are doing what the governent not doing anything for people its just they said it in a more agreesive way that people didnt listen to it that way since it was more aggresive apporach the media named it gangsta rap, it was telling you whats going on and wrong in the hood, rappers did not name it that,,open your eyes
@LIKWITCREW1 just because its conscious doesnt mean its not gangsta music. it was self labeled. They were attempting to represent the common people, the silenced underclass, and make a statement. and alot of gangsta rap, NWA and PE included, is widely considered brilliant. its the trash by people like nelly, jadakiss and cam'ron that people see as harmful. I will agree with you though, that a lot of people live life with their eyes shut to reality, justifying their views with bullshit.
@BRADSZ99 its not gangsta music and the rappers did not give it that name, no such thing as gangsta rap, you cant kill someone with words, these are artist even the most wannabe hardest rapper is an artist thats put time into the music, gangstas dont go around saying they are ,gangstas are killing are in jail, the most so called gangsta rapper is actualy being conscious even if he doesnt realize it, they are spitting stuff that people like the panthers or brown spades were soeaking without music
@LIKWITCREW1 Dude. I get that. Im not denying that. Anyone who tries to tell you that they arent artists or were just spewing violence and mysogeny and whatever are just dumb. Thats not what im saying. Im saying that the rap community ebraced the "gangsta" label. They used it routinely and intentionally aligned themselves with the "gangsta" persona. It was a reappropriation of an originally negative term. the same way the "n" word or "queer" have been taken back by their communities.
I know white girls like her -__- they really do believe whatever they hear by neo-coons to be the true reality while my contradictory presence is overlooked as "the oddity to the rule of black" or "I'm one of the good ones" (implied because of their influence). We really need to demand accountability from the music industry.
@CostlyChris What can we do when the people making and buying the stuff are mostly not us, and the artists couldn't give a damn how it harms our culture as long as they make money?
the white ppl talking about experience a different culture aggravate me. i'm black, grew up in the bronx, and i've NEVER had to worry about drive bys. how about, oh idk... LEAVING your town, traveling, and seeing other cultures for yourself?
ffs, that's like me saying i'm learning about white suburbia by watching clueless.
@mcamurray The reason white people listen to hip hop is because its good music. Learning about a different culture is a benefit, or a justification. But, you cant blame someone who hasnt had to endure the hardship of growing up in an impoverished community for not wanting to immerse themselves. I do agree, though, that "learning about a different culture" is cop-out, and paints hip hop artists as lab rats, intended for study by the elite. It's not academia, its music.
@BRADSZ99 i agree with you. i dont have an issue w. white ppl liking hip hop. i guess i didnt express myself clearly enough with that comment, but i always hated when i would go on trips sponsored by my honors program aand ended up being the only black one. all the kids would ask me the dumbest questions, or assume i was "gangsta" based on some lyrics that they heard in a rap song. even after spending weeks w/ them, theyd still be convinced that i was raised in a damn jay z song.
@mcamurray hahah. ew. thats really irritating. I dont really know, I like to think that my views in some way represent the publics, but who knows. But i do think it's misguided to blame the public. the fact is, many white people have very little interaction with black people outside of hip hop, and are going to walk away with some prejudice. its a sad reality, but nearly impossible to avoid. i do think the image being portrayed today is more accurate and positive than ever. would you agree?
@SpikeyJamez what does any of this have to do w/ my comment? i'm well aware that the majority of hip hop fans in general are white. i never said i had an issue w/ white ppl liking hip hop, my issue is some of them acting as though listening to a few songs about living in the hood gives them an accurate picture of the lives of an entire community of ppl.
i hope i cleared up any misunderstandings, b/c i honestly don't know what aspect of my comment youre reacting too...
Theres sooo many diverse great Hip Hop artists today, yet none got the credits they deserve. Remember the music industry is fill with liars and thieves.
@SpikeyJamez Remember that this was made in 2006, when that really wasnt the case. The music industry is an entirely different landscape from 5 years ago.
@BRADSZ99, I don't entirely agree with you; although, yea in someway the industry did put less gangster-rap persona on TV and the Radio, but literally over a hundred of diverse Hip Hop artists I have seen are predominantly from the underground/independent scene that the masses are very out of touch. Again, I am noticing changes in few, but at the sametime most haven't changed sh*t.
@SpikeyJamez I just think that the industry is having less of an impact now. Also i think were seeing the effect of the huge reduction in violent crime in the late nineties. Rap seems more personal, and expressive than it did in the last decade. i mean, look who's big right now. Jay Z, Kanye, Drake, Currensy, KRIT, Pusha T. The dumbasses like Nelly and CamRon and Jadakiss are out of the picture. Its being returned to an art form, not a cash machine.
Seriously Hip Hop fans today are still f*cking stupid for not supporting the culture in the most rightful intellectual matter. Stop watching BET, MTV, and all that crap. Corporations are never your man best friend.

Of course the corporations want to push destruction in hip hop. They always want to make black and latino people look bad. These rappers are sellouts to the man. They sell poison and violence and the degradation of the women in order to get a million dollars. White racism is not dead.
in my opinion, that is offensive because it says there is a difference between "colored people" and "not colored people," ....we are all people. he should have said "the hip hop community," i feel like. also he preceded "colored people" with "you guys" as if white people and black people are somehow not the same.
@LSDboomer I consider a racist to be either of malicious action or malicious intent and I dont think that dude is racist per say...questionable choice of words but certainly not a racist
That one white boy that's exactly how most of them are banwagen jumpers, fake and false followers to the culture! Their like students on the outside lookin in trying to study and copy our style(swagg if you will) and make it their own! It's something that comes nnatural to us blk folk like it's in us. We don't look to others to immitate or portray be proud black peeps we trend setters! when you see all these whites rockin to hip hop that's you and your culture their praising! one luv!
The white corporations don't want to put out that knowledge inpowerment music! they doing just what they intended to do, dumb down ,water down and commercialize blk hip hop and the culture as a whole! Evil, slye bastards!
@RitaxBoo i'm white been hiphop since i was 13 years old, i'm 38 now, it's plain and simple black and white,
your either black or white, never insult a black man by saying he coloured, i'm surprised the white guy didn't get lynched in hid daddies car right there..!!
The white guy in the SUV says its his kind of music. Know why? Because he can relate to the violence. Because violence is what American Culture is an expert in. Bombs, wars, brutality, domestic violence, molestation is rampant in white American culture. Hip Hop and Rap found their vibration. That's why 70% of this low vibrational music is purchased by them. Now today these little 14 year old punks are playing it as they participate in acts of mayhem. And yes, record execs control the market.
that white chick talking about big chaines and stuff said she grew up upper class and thats why white people will never know what its like to be poor and have nothing is BS.their are poor people of every race . if you want to put blame on somthing blame the goverment thats why people are poor.their is good rap/hip hop you have to dig deep for it . one artist i love to listen to is brother ali the mc from the rhymsayers label and yes i'm from MN .
Those are BOURGIE white people. BOURGEOISIE! It's not race, it's culture.
I was one of those lone white kids growing up around the inner city, and I hated rap, I thought it was misogynistic and violent.
I didn't get into rap until I heard Immortal Technique. Still slightly misogynistic, and homophobic, but god damn it there is a message. There is a meaningful social commentary there.
Philosophy class and in my psychology class ironically, everything actually has an influence. Hip Hop is like a chant, it keeps you interested till it becomes part of you. If "men were to be men" you would see ALL white boys doing this in a primitive way. And think about the black people way back in the 60s, this ignorant bliss would be hurting the ancestors. I actually never seen a black youth today speak of ancestral respects either... The culture has been diluted and now mainstreamed in media
The little "righteous/socially conscious" freestyle was pretty fucking amazing. I don't know if it sounded better because we'd already heard more than 10 dudes rapping about killing cops and shooting bitches, but you need to be really smart to come up with something like that on the spot.
I carry a gun for all those yahoos that are brainwashed by this negative violent mind set in hip hop,kids just itchin to squeeze a trigger for any stupid lil reason.They leave their feet out in the isle of the subway or bus just waiting for someone to step on their foot so they can fight or shoot someone.
Jadakiss is right about what's hot and selling but does this mean that rappers are selling thier souls to coorporate marketing whom which determines who sells or not? Perhaps if artest where more concerned about being true to themselves then getting a record deal things would change...
It's not black, it's not white, it's not brown - It's green ! And just like any other source of entertainment its primary job is to generate money. There are other out-lets for education, other out-lets for tranquility. Rap is an out-let for aggression, as rock is an out-let for angst. You don't go to club to hear Mozart. And you don't watch a comedy to cry. You don't read Kafka to feel comfortable. There are many forms of entertainment. There are various genres to fill those forms. Accept it
I get that in the US people are like this, but the rest of the world has educated people, at least I hope so.
White people, like me, can appreciate G O O D hiphop just the same. Just because the majority of white people are ignorant and don't want to look for good, perhaps underground, hiphop, doesn't mean it isn't out there. The media corporations shove the biggest sellers down our throats, and most people won't look any further than what they hear on radio. fail.
this film shows precisely why hip hop is so shit these days compared with the old school era - the big biz controls that shit and they don't want the underclass to think about anything except drugs, violence and hos
What he says about the themes of rap is totally on point, it makes me sick to be listening to good shit like CanOx and Aesop and El-P, Company Flow, etc and then listen to these fools spit a bar about the same cliche'd lame-ass vanilla wannabe gangsta rap that was passe in 1997...
They say there will be no place for gay rappers in hip hop,but you got plenty of gays in the game lik lil wayne,solja boy,young money,and plenty of them.
ewwwww nigga you gay haha im sorry but the gay thing is just wrong im sorry god made women for men and men for women not men for men or women for women just wrong...
honestly i love the strong form of communication that rap brings. when those ppl got that mask off they really strongly communicated. lets turn hip hop into a counterculture man. practice your real hip hop and then go to communities themselves and do shows over and over again until the real people are holding you up, not some fuckin corporation holding you up. none of them is real when they controlled by executives
honestly i love the strong form of communication that rap brings. when those ppl got that mask off they really strongly communicated. lets turn hip hop into a counterculture man
omg all of a sudden at like 2:05 like the posse thats backing up that guy who said he wanted to get his rape on is like 'we cant go beyond our masks!!!!' like puppets whose magical curse gets lifted momentarily and they get to say how much of a prison they in. some deep shit
don't let yourselves be balkanized by the false ideology of race, it's a social construct. Every culture has a different definition of it and it's always changed through history. If there's anything worth rebelling against, it's the very concept of race. It's fucking bullshit, meaningless, invented.
I'm white.. I listen to hip hop. I have the same if not better understanding of it and the lyrical content then most african americans.. then again im not american and grew up as the minority culture in my town...
I was raised on mof def, dead prez, ll cool j and a whole heapa nz artists.
"colored people"....ouch have we returned to that??? He needs to have a real conversation with REAL black men and women and stop listening to these little boys rapping on the radio.
LOL. I literally looked into the camera on that one. omg! this is whose buying the fucking trash hip hop thats on the mainstream radio. 70 percent people!
@SCordeliaB Exactly...and these stereotypical images warp their mindsets even more than they already are...which is why they think it's okay to adress a professional educated black man or woman in a bussines suit as their nigga/bitch...we dont represent ourselves well
i could have been a doctor i could have been a cop. that guy just freestyled that shit from the top.. and he's aight the thing was nice. shows that the talent is out there we are just asking for the wrong lyrics
a man i like gangsta rap because it's just get you hype in that kill kill murder mindset. lovey dovey shit gets on my nerves but at the same time i listen to conscious hip hop to remind me that it's not real but I've been raised to well hip hop now is bullshit no substance man if you don't believe me check my channel
@kailanisofresh Very good metaphor. And I definitely agree: While it's true that people will listen to what's on constant rotation on the airwaves, it's also (maybe even more) true that we will respond to music which goes against the grain of what we usually hear.
im glad they said "mianstream hip hop" which isn't even hip hop....it's just mainstream music itself,hip hop.....has been thriving underground since they stop giving deals to people who promote unity and peace,big respect to mc's like immortal technique and suicide the mc, who does the music for the love,and not for a record deal......respect!
i am a white working class guy from scotland struggling from week to week but i am gonna go to america to get my millions , fancy cars and big houses because that is the way all white people in america live! OR IS THAT JUST HIP HOP MEDIA BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im white and love listening to hip-hop BUT i cannot relate at ALL to the lyrics therefore my love is strictly loyal only to the beats and the sonic formations of someones flow. So some might say i love it superficially. I don't see how very many whites CAN possibly relate UNLESS they themselves have grown up in those same streets. I actually felt really sorry for tha dude in the SUV, he represents SO many whites that listen to hip-hop simply because its the cool thing to do.
how is it true from an outside perspective?? it is this notion that the people who own these records want the rest of the population to believe all "black" and "brown" people are in no way can listening to crap like RaP or HipHop can u get this that is just preposterous and ignorant
Wow when they were talking about why they use negativity in their lyrics @ 1:30 they literally said "WE SOLD OUT". We don't agree with it but it is what they pay us for. Dancing Monkeys.
About fella in the SUV: It was evident that he didn't have bad intentions... he's just a victim of the machine, blinded by the light the media shines directly intop middle america. Can you blame him for his callowness? No. He's just an overzealous hiphop fan whom simply wants to find his schtick in the culture. Unfortunately, he's just not going about it the right way.
@steveoweeman69 he just nervous..because he got caught fronting with his dads truck..but you see we are still colored in his mind..although caucasions turn green purple and blue once they become sick..I mean that sardonically
that white dude should be officially BANNED by hiphop and also BANNED from listening to rap for saying "you guys". outrageously idiotic and unbelievable!
I think he was insecure and was desperately trying to be politically correct but it's difficult to adress black hip-hop without saying the word "black" or adress these artists as a "group". so instead of you "black guys from the hip-hop industry" or "afro-americans hip-hop artists" - he didn't want to offend but tried to chose the right form of adress and while keeping the peace.
@steveoweeman69 I'm hoping that he somehow ment that it became more mainstream then, as he said "came out" or something and not started. Really hoping so...
@steveoweeman69 How is he shameful? He's honestly ignorant. It's not like he's some Black guy who was raised right and chooses to pimp crazy sh!t.
But on the real, it was painful to hear because its crazy, the juxtaposition of him listening to Black music, supposing this cross-cultural success, despite the problems with the music, and then you realize that he's just as ignorant culturally as the young ignorant boys who are spitting. Just the wrong cultural ambassadors all in the same room.
@steveoweeman69 Really started in 91???? another ignorant white guy speaking on something he likes but has no business talking about!!! Shameful pretty much sums it up... Apparently he never heard of Afrika Bambata, Grandmaster flash, Run Dmc, Rakim,Krs one, Etc....70% of white america is really like 85% now!!! It is big business and therefore Hip Hop will always be what it is today. The old Hip Hop is dead Nas Said it best!!! RIP !!!!!
@dynamicpcsonline And when i say white america I mean the culture For example they say 70% of hip hop purchased by White Americans well as a whole the industry is purchased by white males ages 17-34! Then this guy is a representative of someone like myslef who is an educated white male who has listened to this music since "85" which by the way made me 5 years old!!!! ' not "91'" like he says when it came out.. .. and In all fairness it came out before the 80's!
Dude in the giant SUV looks soooo uncomfortable. And the way he said colored people made him sound really scared. I wonder if he ever left his car during the break.
I never thought about the fact that the more hip hop was commercialized by rich white men the less concious the lyrics became. These people didn't want to hear black people concerning them selves with "fighting the power" they wanted them to have their "mind on thir money and their money on their mind." Un-fucking-real.
This is a sore tragedy! Our people's excuse for acting like Hollywood gangster actors is just total betrayal Hey I'd rather starve before I adapt to another man's demonic influence against us. I think I saw a Sinead O'Connor CD at 5:15 of this clip. I'll listen to what she has to say before I spend money on that crap rap music that defiles our people's minds, as well as our streets. The Caucasian guy in his daddy's ride looks just as confused as the rappers he listens to. The last days....
Black people need to build their own Independant ECONOMY to create Jobs, housing, education,etc,etc, otherwise they will always be DEPENDANT on the racist white power structure, and the sell outs who work for them like dogs, barking and biting for their master who feeds their selfish bellies. This is why it took so long, like 400 yrs, for slavery to end. You had blacks holding back the progress of other blacks who wanted freedom. Again, blacks need their OWN Independant ECONOMY.
Thanx for this video. This is very important information for all people, especially black people, who need to see this to let them know where they are at, and looked upon by their own, and others. This is all part of the racist white power structure, and those black people who work for them, no favouritism, are killers of their own race, Just to feed their own individual belly. " Im tryna feed my daughter !" lol... Is not KRS 1 trying to do the same, you bunch of self hating sell outs ?
Damn that homo erodicism stuff was crazy true lol

in my opinion, that is offensive because it says there is a difference between "colored people" and "not colored people," ....we are all people. he should have said "the hip hop community," i feel like. also he preceded "colored people" with "you guys" as if white people and black people are somehow not the same.

The white guy in the SUV says its his kind of music. Know why? Because he can relate to the violence. Because violence is what American Culture is an expert in. Bombs, wars, brutality, domestic violence, molestation is rampant in white American culture. Hip Hop and Rap found their vibration. That's why 70% of this low vibrational music is purchased by them. Now today these little 14 year old punks are playing it as they participate in acts of mayhem. And yes, record execs control the market.

Those are BOURGIE white people. BOURGEOISIE! It's not race, it's culture.
I was one of those lone white kids growing up around the inner city, and I hated rap, I thought it was misogynistic and violent.
I didn't get into rap until I heard Immortal Technique. Still slightly misogynistic, and homophobic, but god damn it there is a message. There is a meaningful social commentary there.

Philosophy class and in my psychology class ironically, everything actually has an influence. Hip Hop is like a chant, it keeps you interested till it becomes part of you. If "men were to be men" you would see ALL white boys doing this in a primitive way. And think about the black people way back in the 60s, this ignorant bliss would be hurting the ancestors. I actually never seen a black youth today speak of ancestral respects either... The culture has been diluted and now mainstreamed in media

It's not black, it's not white, it's not brown - It's green ! And just like any other source of entertainment its primary job is to generate money. There are other out-lets for education, other out-lets for tranquility. Rap is an out-let for aggression, as rock is an out-let for angst. You don't go to club to hear Mozart. And you don't watch a comedy to cry. You don't read Kafka to feel comfortable. There are many forms of entertainment. There are various genres to fill those forms. Accept it

White people, like me, can appreciate G O O D hiphop just the same. Just because the majority of white people are ignorant and don't want to look for good, perhaps underground, hiphop, doesn't mean it isn't out there. The media corporations shove the biggest sellers down our throats, and most people won't look any further than what they hear on radio. fail.

I actually felt really sorry for tha dude in the SUV, he represents SO many whites that listen to hip-hop simply because its the cool thing to do.

I think he was insecure and was desperately trying to be politically correct but it's difficult to adress black hip-hop without saying the word "black" or adress these artists as a "group". so instead of you "black guys from the hip-hop industry" or "afro-americans hip-hop artists" - he didn't want to offend but tried to chose the right form of adress and while keeping the peace.
