FORBES:"Hip Hop Is Run By A White, Blonde Australian Woman”

Umm...looks like most of your favorites are from the proper Golden Era, lol.

 

Wait so 89-94 is your Golden era?

 

LOL, I'm going to be balanced and say that this is probably the kind of hip hop that would turn you off.

These clowns at a funeral in Chicago for another statistic in Chiraq, or is that Chyria now. Only difference was this particular statistic Lil Jojo was known in the gang banging combined with hip hop music circles in that place, compared to the other black male statistics that have gone before and after there. A hot mess is that video.

They were at a funeral, men with no shirt on, underwear showing, throwing up gang signs, girls and boys singing the foul, expletive laced lyrics. No wonder Chi-town's hood is in the state it is in, a lost cause.

How do you reason with folks like this to pull your pants up, put a belt around your waist, get an education and be a productive member of society and not glorify ignorance like this.

The women to respect themselves and not lay down with dudes producing offspring that will perpetuate this negative cycle because the parents know no better. it doesn't take much to act like that, I grew up seeing this shit, but wanted better in my life. Thug life is bullshit, a one way ticket to the prison industrial complex providing jobs for whites in small towns or to the grave. Lets keep this shit real, ya heard.

 

This is the actual song they were singing. Says it all.

He claimed to be BDK aka 300K- Black Disciple Killer, the K represents the gang is your enemy, instead they the "Black Disciples" most likely killed him when he was slipping.

So the irony is the song they are singing is the one that had a hand in his death in the first place. Ignorance indeed folks.

1988 - 1994. Don't leave out 1988, kid! Although 1986 forward really captures it all for me. Lol

The Chicago gang problem is really out of control. I imagine this must have been what L.A. was like in the 1980s "Colors" era. Chicago has had this gang thing since the post-WWII period, so it's multi-generational now. It's really sad and I haven't a clue what you do to address it. As for the gang, are they saying they are killers of BDs, or BDs who are killers? I know the whole "killer" thing as a suffix means different things in different cities. I wish there was something that could be done. The scary part is if this poverty-driven pathology becomes structural, it becomes self-perpetuating, and even harder to uproot.

 

Lol

 

Ok some of my favorite rap albums came out between 92-94 however a lot more better albums came out after.
Pick any of the first three Eminem albums, Jay-z's Blueprint and Black Albums, the first two Dmx albums, the second Lox Album Power Money and Respect, you need more?

 

Key words : YOUR FAVORITE RAP ALBUMS. Ask any head younger than yourself & the majority will have the same attitude towards most of the post 2000 rap/hip hop that you have about the 90's hip hop. They'll say their shit is the best ever. It's all about what was hot at the time you were most into the music.

 

Yeah Chicago has had the problems for generations and nothing seems to change. They thought it might improve when they tore down the gang and drug infested cesspool known as Cabrini Green Housing Projects



Seems like it just spread to other parts of the hood as the gangsters moved.



This was the dude, Lil Jojo that was killed and whose funeral they were all hopping around at singing the lyrics he sang about being a BDK (Black Disciples Killer)

He was rumored to be part of the Gangster Disciples gang and thus rivals of the Black Disciples (therefore the term BDK). Yep, this is the kind of shit that thug life is about for these knuckleheads.

Chief Keef who you may have heard about is also part of aka "associates" with the Black Disciples, so is his sidekick buddy Lil Reese in this video below showing that these fools have no respect in their makeup and this is how they catch a long prision stint or find an early grave.

This video will provide some info as well and shows how messed up living in the hood in the Chi is.

BA is almost decade younger than me and regularly agree on music shit. Real recognize real fam

 

Wow I didn't know you listened to her. Very cool. She's a favorite of mine :smt023

 

I get up to Chicago regularly for work when not in school during elections and there are entire parts of the community where my canvassing/GOTV teams need off-duty cops just to do Get Out The Vote activities. It's ridiculous.

And Cabrini was by no means the only (only the most notorious) housing project. The Robert Taylor Homes and even single family housing-filled neighborhoods like Englewood, Little Village, Lawndale and Humboldt Park face this problem.

 

Unreal, its akin to the kind and level of gang violence you see in Central America with MS13 or in the favelas in Brazil with the drug gangs. People seem to have just given up and said to hell with them.

 

It has literally gotten to the point where people are totally desensitized to it. A Monday morning headline of a triple homicide on the West Side just elicits shrugs and "Oh wells".

 

And that's his preference. As is yours. I'm sure you can find many other people here that will agree with you, older, younger & same age range alike. There will never be a universally recognized & undisputed "Golden Age of Hip Hop" era just like there will never be a universally recognized & undisputed "Top Ten Greatest Rappers of All" list. Everyone has their preferences & standards for what would be needed to qualify for either.

 

She doesn't get mainstream radio play where I live, so yeah I listen to her.

 

I haven't listened to the radio in years so I'm not sure if she gets played out here or not. I've got a lot of her tracks on rotation on my iPod. Good stuff

 

where can you find "progressive" rap from female MCs? It's just not in most brick and mortar stores now, it seems, and radio isn't much help at all.

 

Derrick Rose will return before any of you post your playlists.

 

You don't like hip hop & no one here is trying to get you to like it. So why are you waiting for anyone to post their playlist for you?
