What hip hop music got to do with racism?

From day one Rap music had a bad image that was loaded with stereotypes of Black males wearing fat gold chains, using foul lyrics and ready to commit violence. Rap music had gone through many battles ranging from the East-West Coast saga to the commercial vs. underground drama and that it's next big battle will be along the lines of race. Some rap music today stereotype’s whites and blacks, it would seem that the Blacks are seeking revenge for the wrongdoing done to their ancestors. But also white supremacy still exists in rap music by who is controlling the industry.

Dre’s Quote:
"me not out for peace, and me not Rodney King; my gun goes click; me gun goes bang. . . . them never love me 'cause I was born to redem'. . . . the latest spray with my AK and put 'em to rest. . . . you still a slave to them; no matter how much money you get”

The battle between Eminem and The Source, The magazine played an untitled song that features the Detroit rapper using a racial slur and disparaging black women.

Quote:.
“Black girls and white girls just don't mix because black girls are dumb and white girls are good chicks," His response was


^^His response was, "" I made out of anger, stupidity and frustration when I was a teenager. I'd just broken up with my girlfriend, who was African-American, and I reacted like the angry, stupid kid I was."

Who Controls the industry!

Another aspect of racism in the music industry is seen by those who control it. Whites have held the authority over this industry from its beginning, and even though we see Blacks and Latinos emerging successfully in their music, it must be remembered that the White man has the most say about music in the public. According to the Rap coalition website, “most black music, is under the corporate control of whites and purchased mostly by white youths.” Record companies and media distribution system that publicizes rap music and gets it to the buyer's hands are still overwhelmingly owned and controlled by whites. Consider also that the largest audience for rap music today is white


Amazing aint it. Whats your view?

Fuck prejudice...


Having said that, you would be ignorant to not think there are major cultural differences existing that hold us back from this universal method of thinking. But the lines are consistantly becomming more and more blurred as we continue through time.

As for white people having control over rap music.........Well.. Its a major white trait to conquor and dominate in the political and business arena... Thats just the way our culture is... Its because our past has been built upon a great sense of central common decency and working towards a greater cause for power and success...

All I can really say is...............live with it....

It still amazes me to this day how ignorant fucks still stereotype music.

Theres so such thing as "black music" or "white music", ok, maybe the origins are african related, that doesnt mean a white man cant enjoy and respect the music.

To me rap is what has finally brought youth together as one culture, black white yellow orange pink green dead alive gay straight wack dope. what or whoever the fuck you are, hip hop culture has brought people toghether to respect and enjoy one genre of music. We shoudl cherish that,relise that and use it to bridge other racial gaps.

As for who controls the industry, i wouldnt waste a cell in my brain worrying about that.
But too answer you; money does.

True. But why does it still exist.

Music has no ethnicity but still media is controlled by whites, record labels are controlled by whites etc.

Rap Music was intended for all people. but it continues to amaze me how blatent and racist the industry really is. Its not a trait for whites to dominate and continue white supremacy!! Nos thats basically what you saying son. Did god said "Whites are smarter than other races"?

To Be Honest...I Don't Know Why I Bothered

White people control the industry because they can't get into it as a rapper. The racism follows them as well, I know it follows me. People always expect me to be some 'yo yo yo' rapper and just spit nonsense. Ish is mad annoying.

White people decided to take business route where they would actually make a lot of money. Because when you are a rapper, you don't make that much money. Most rappers just sign with a major label, get reconition, then make their own label once their contract is up.

Racism goes both ways, not just for blacks, hispanics, whites, or any other race.

lol, i think its alot more situational than that... whites have been in a position to do what they did... and any race could have done it if the cultures were switched... its not a "white trait" to be ambitious... i know you probably didnt mean it that literally, b/c alot of things dont come out how you mean them, but just watch how you word things...
