...the thing that kills me is they play this crap early in the morning when most kids are probably riding in the car on their way to school"

Agreed. Can you imagine having a dose of THAT poison for breakfast? That's why I've stopped listening to hip hop and rap ages ago. It's garbage. It's about sex, self-importance rap, violence, survival, or getting 'yours'. What happened to our artist's morals?. It's like they they're the pied piper leading the way to destruction.

Hip Hop is this way because of the corporations. Good, positive uplifting, revolutionary music doesn't get produced by the big companies.

HipHop wasn't always this way. "The Man" made it this way. There are plenty of HipHop artists out there that are positive but they don't get the big record contracts.

HMM, ALL OUT boycott of the corporations that promote this type of music. Don't boycott their music, but boycott the products they make in every industry.

For example, if SONY music INC promotes those type of lyrics, boycott the PS3, video games, electronics, EVERYTHING. HIt them HARD!

I tried sending this in a PM and it never sent it to you... i thought that was really strange

I've broken my programming on several occasions and every time I do and I speak out I am institutionalized drugged up, reprogrammed , and put back into society. I don't know what to do.But what this woman is saying is true,She needs help too.They will kill her.I broke my programming in Feb 2011, Received death threats,2 months later I was sexually assaulted by a contractor who is HIV positive.Watch my videos.This stuff is real and it's not only happening in Mexico it's happening here in the US

[Snugglebug861]

The same thing happened to me. I saw your comment on the Illuminati mind control victim breaks programming. They eat people. I am in Colorado, and they have an apartment complex where they kill people. Mutilate their bodies, eat their flesh, and do the unthinkable I've seen it first hand. the cops don't do anything. They hide it.

con't #2 - They were selling just fine and slowly they were influencing other like minded new artist to get in the rap game too. However, this kept out the majority white kids. They didn't & couldn't relate unless they were somewhat educated. The Industry executives recognized that the white kids wanted the stereotypes showed in the media (criminals, drug pushers, etc.) so they solicitied & promoted the garbage. Hot damn it worked! The white kids bought it. They pushed to rap #1! MONEY!

@Louienyc79 you said "Most old school rappers can't make comebacks because they want to talk politics and common sense both of which wont sell."

Thanks but I have to disagree. We are in the best times to discuss politics and issues in our community. The old school rappers & artist were very popular & at an all time high then. However, the controllers of the industry doesn't want these communities to get better so they don't invest the promotion of them. They have nefarious intentions.

You wont get "FAME" if you have a positive message. Record companies promote the negative.

But, if HipHop artists start their own label and still produce negative lyrics and images, then shame on them.

When HipHop started it had so much potential. But, its been corrupted and the bad apples are made into stars.

If people stopped buying bad HipHop, they wouldnt make it anymore.

Does the public get what the public wants?

It's the consumers issue not the companies , people ought to have more

Self control!
