It's the modern day slave owners, rights grabbers, and tyrants all over again.
If we had a modicum of the self respect and balls of our forefathers, there would be a lot of well deserving people finding themselves on the wrong end of ropes.
Agreed. I used to love rap music but as I've grown I've come to acknowledge its roots in ignorance, hate and immaturity. That generalizing all of Hip Hop, because there are some good rappers and songs out there. However, the majority of rappers and rap songs have no motivating substance. Its all a gangster, criminal, don't fuck with me, money, guns, bitches, fuck cops, my homies mentality.
Maybe one day rap can become more influenced again by Jazz, Blues and Rock. In its current form, this art called rap and hip hop is a disastrous trap for the youth and ignorant adults.
A whole lot of us while grew up on rap fell this way. It’s destructive as fuck to young minds, especially fatherless young minds. Which is why the music corporations push it soo hard.
Greed defines the music industry, rap is cheap as hell to make, rock requires studio time and musicians that can play and promotion and radio and all that.
Rap is consumed by morons who don't give a shit about quality. Written by a ghost writer who just churns it out.
I quit listening to rap because I haven't heard a original sound in years. Every rap song I hear, I feel like I heard 5 just like it a hundred times each.
Can you even imagine libraries full of books whose text consisted of rap lyrics? Maybe some stylized illustrations of the 'action parts'. Or fun pop-ups when you open the page of money and guns and hos?
Right. I bet I'm a little older than you because by the time Snoopy Dog was making rap, I was in my 20s and old enough to see it as pathetic. The songs I heard were him whining that women didn't want his boring, stoned ass. So he called them lesbians and hoes. And fantasized about hating cops who were just doing what Biden (and Gore) asked them to.
The equivalent for me might be 80s movies, where I was too young to see them as sad bravado. Men shooting guns perfectly and boring people getting the prettiest girl because they wanted to and girls could do no wrong. (Of course there still making those movies but as "super heroes.")
Sorry to highjack, but this seems like the best opportunity to ask...what music artists do you 'pedes like? I've been dying for new music but everything out there is liberal degeneracy. Any artists I(we) should check out? Deftones are my favorite band and (so far) they have done a great job of keeping politics out of their music. I'm hoping that when the .win network expands there will be places for us to discuss 'pede-friendly media like films, music, books, ect.
And speaking of hip-hop, Immortal Technique, Talib Kweli and Mos Def (or whatever his name is now) crack me up watching them appease to their lefty massas. I've loved Kanye since before his car accident and watched as the people around me went from loving his music to calling it garbage. Hilarious.

Recently I've been enjoying Mumford & Sons; Jamey Johnson; Breaking Benjamin; bunch of RetroWave music; Chris Botti jazz; some Post-Rock music like God Is An Astronaut and Explosions In The Sky; Muse; Thievery Corporation chillout; 3 Doors Down; Royal Blood; Rebelution reggae; Blank & Jones chill; and a lot of jazz and classical scores like composers such as Max Richter and Thomas Bergersen.
Sorry a little late on my reply, but man I've been checking out some of this music. Love it! Explosions in the Sky is helping me get through my daily work. Thanks so much!
I listened to old school rap back in the 80s, NWA, Public Enemy, Eric B and Rakim, Run DMC, and of course beasties, but I haven't kept up because honestly I feel the soul has been sucked out of it. Some George Clinton and Parliament too, but I don't know if that qualifies.
Tattoos used to be earned. Now every fuckboi and thottess are covered in them. And they're all tasteless. "This is an anchor to keep me grounded." the fuck? "This is a feather so I remember to fly"
Not all rap is degenerate - watch Lupe Fiasco show how modern gangsta rappers are the same as old-time blackface - it’s a fake persona these rappers put on - powerful video and actually a good song about how degenerate black culture is at least partly the result of false images and negative role models pushed by the rap industry https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=emb_title&v=C3m3t_PxiUI
modern gangsta rappers are the same as old-time blackface - it’s a fake persona these rappers put on
The tragedy is I only have one upvote to give.
When you are racist yourself, you don't see this. You think that caricature is real because you have no actual real black people in your life that you care about. And of course, the clowns know how to monetize this caricature.
"Racism is not dead, but it is on life support — kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as 'racists.'" - Thomas Sowell
Sounds like anecdotal evidence. FBI crime stats say otherwise. Its pretty damn real for quite a bit of black youth.
27% of all crime, 53% of murders, 54% of robberies, 29% of estimated rapes, Black community has a crime problem and in order for it to be fixed you have to be honest about it. "i have black friends that are cool" doesnt mean problems dont exist.
You might now understand me. What I am saying is that black (and white) artists use the thug image to sell their shit. And then yes, that does influence more black crime do kids know it is an act? Now they think that is THE legit way to be. And then you correctly note some key stats on how bad black criminality is - the gangster shit clearly has an influence.
Recall the Saturday Night Fever was all made up. There were no disco moves like that. Disco wasn't even a thing, ffs. But amazingly everyone acted like that was the only way to do when it was clear there was only one influence.
Ironically, woke pan queen Janelle Monae tweeted about this last week. How all this shit needs to stop, blah blah blah. They are fucking eating their own now and it’s great to watch. What I’ve learned from the woke crowd is that they are a bunch of weak minded individuals that cannot take any criticism of any kind. Everything is a micro aggression and they think they can just magically disappear all bad evil thoughts in the world. They are fucking horrible and people like them should never have any power.
I mean at this point id say a lot of these rappers definitely did crime at some point and then got out of it by becoming a rapper.
The question is does their culture dictate the music, or does the music dictate the culture.
What they rap about and portray is black people in america. If they as a community changed their ways and fixed themselves maybe the music would change aswell. If it stayed the same then it absolutely would be 100% fake.
Damn, I love you for this, pede. I have loved smart hip hop and felt for the black community since I was a teenager for this very reason. Held captive by the very people they THINK are there to help them. It’s fucking heartbreaking. They deserve better.
Glad you liked it - I especially love how he shows how fake the whole gangsta personality is - essentially the same as a clown, acting a part. There is some kind of conspiracy theory that gangsta rap was started by some shady people to help fill the for profit prisons - there was a time when hip hop was positive and uplifting, now it’s just blackface
Case in point, Snoop Dog. Total pussy that people believe is hard as fuck. It's an act. In a fair fist fight most of us would have him crying for his mother.
I agree that some hip-hop is great. To your point, Reggie Watts also has a great song where he makes fun of black gangster culture in rap. "You take some shit, you take some fuck, you got a fuck shit stack, a fuck shit stack come on."
I remember .. Was it when eazy was still alive? Making fun of then fledgling rapper snoop saying he was 90 pounds wet and with boots on, and calling him out for being a "studio gangster" good times.
I agree with you! Nervously sweats because I work in HR...Straight White Male...I also am currently sitting near the top...because being a guy I happen to be a little more 'competitive' and see each role as how it benefits me and me only and that attitude has made me a lot of money...
Only race of people who would commit crimes against their own people and go on to get honored and have a billion dollars and still bitch about oppression in this country. Who with an ounce of intelligence would listen to and believe that guy? All races listen to and believe that guy.
Don't forget when Rick Ross's ankle bracelet went off in the Oval Office and the media framed it as cool and funny. 6 years later Kanye's invite is framed as a joke and disgraceful. Enemy of the people.
That absolutely pissed me off, not just because of the BLM propaganda, but also because Apple was literally preventing you from using a service you were paying for.
This wasn’t just some ad or extra feature. They actually removed most of the Apple Music functionality that day in order to shove that nonsense down your throat.
Time to disengage. Read old books. Make your own music. Cook your own food. Grow some of it too if you can. Accumulate skills and network with people who have skills you don't have.
There’s money in the equation somewhere, at least they think there is. Under socialism the rich would get even richer and only us normies would suffer. How else would it make sense that rich movie stars would support it. Capitalism made them money, but Socialism would make them gods.
Yeah, they think there’s money in it, and from a business point of view it would seem to make sense to at least avoid offending groups of people, because everyone is a potential customer, but what they don’t seem to grasp is that most people are annoyed by the constant obnoxious, disingenuous virtue signaling.
But what I’m also trying to say is that if the country would go totally socialist/ communist, there would be, like, tax incentives or breaks or something for these woke companies/ people. There’s money in it for them somewhere, otherwise they wouldn’t be encouraging it, they’d just sell me their damn products and then shut the fuck up about their morals.
They have alternative sources of "funding" that would make us ill if we knew the scope and origins of it. The good news is that the masks are off. We now know them as the confirmed enemies. Wish that we could boycott them all, but it is somewhat difficult since they own most everything in our world.
Has anyone threatened to sue? That seems like a breach of their terms and certainly doesn’t sound like it comports with the numerous representations they make when advertising the service.
Day of the service costs like 35 cents. Sue on behalf a class of the 60 million subscribers. That’s close to $20 million. Take 40% in fees. $8 million. I could tolerate the hate for $8 million.
Class action or not, if the service functioned normally the whole month except for one day, why would they owe anyone more than the 1 day cost of service? (35 cents)
Lots of other class action questions come up re: lawyers, plannedemic, and plannedriots.
Failure of consideration. The consideration was a month worth of service. Was a month's worth of service provided?
And if I take you argument well it wasn't even a full day it was denied, so 35 cents would be too much.
I contracted to have Apple Music on demand for a complete month. Tell me how they satisfied their obligation to provide bargained-for services under their monthly contract?
You could only sue for the day it didn’t work, not the month. I had assumed it was $10 a month. You don’t get a separate hourly fee on antitrust plaintiffs cases, you just get a cut of the settlement or verdict.
I was playing Call of Duty and every single loading screen had black lives matter crap everywhere. They also delayed an update they were going to release because of the BLM shit. So sick of this shit. When this stuff used to happen I would just stop using a service or buying a product but now it’s being forced down our throats by literally everyone.
None of the games my husband and I play did that to us.
I hate to say this, because as a gamer I know that everyone has different tastes and such, but at least in gaming it is avoidable; you just have to be willing to drop AAA titles like CoD and Fortnite. Again, I'm very sorry (I actually am, I wish they'd just let all of us play video games like we wanted), but try out games from other parts of the world and lesser known developers, or hell even older games that still hold up.
Escape from Tarkov is Russian so they don't care about any of this. A lot of the old Star Wars games still have ongoing communities. Any Japanese game is pretty damn safe, like Phantasy Star Online 2. Or hell, just stick to the slightly smaller AA studios: games like Risk of Rain don't have the development resources to do that kind of crazy shit at the drop of a hat.
But just so you know, if it doesn't hurt the player numbers for CoD that they did this, then they will do it again.
This is why individual boycotts are meaningless in the grand scheme of things. The companies know that they still be making money, and lots of it. They do not care if a handful of people cancel services or not buy their product.
I had no idea what this was about until you wrote your comment and this was what was reported on Bloomberg:
Spotify, YouTube also back [Hashtag]TheShowMustBePaused initiative
Music giants make playlists, donate to fight racial injustice
Apple Inc., Spotify Technology Inc. and YouTube joined [Hasthtag]BlackoutTuesday, an initiative tied to the music industry’s [Hashtag]TheShowMustBePaused movement, which supports protests across the U.S. against police brutality and racism toward African Americans.
The iPhone maker paused the browse feature on its Apple Music service, presenting users with a message about standing in solidarity “with the Black voices that define music, creativity, and culture.” The feature sends listeners to its “Beats 1” radio program playing motivational songs such as “The People” by Hip-Hop artist Common, and “Sue Me” by rapper Wale featuring gospel singer Kelly Price.
Spotify created a “Black Lives Matter” playlist with songs including Public Enemy’s “Fight The Power” and “FDT” by California rapper Y.G., which
speaks out against U.S. President Donald Trump.
The music division of Google’s YouTube canceled all meetings on Tuesday. Executives for YouTube’s business and music teams also invited staff to take the day off.
There are literally descendants of Sally Hemings that have DNA matching descendants from Jefferson. Its been pretty solidified that he fathered children with her. It was known even during Jefferson’s time and was used as political leverage against him.
The DNA thing is true, but they don't know for sure if it means Thomas Jefferson himself or someone else in the wider Jefferson family. The idea that it was TJ comes mainly from the rumor and gossip of the time.
Yah, but as far as I know Jefferson didn’t RAPE her. Especially since if she wanted to she could have run away in France and he had to beg anc concede to get her to return with him to the US. It isn’t what I would call a mode relationship but it does seem to have been consensual and even romantic.
Exactly, hell, one reason for the Jim Crow era blood quotas was an attempt by Democrats to clarify who was white and who wasn’t because they did the math and realized that almost all of them would have at least some non-white blood in them, which would’ve freaked them the eff out. Lol
This is what Democrats have reduced the African-American population to, it is a form of oppression, it brainwashes black youth to aspire to be like these gangbangers, in reality this puts them on a path of continual unemployment and into a life of drugs and criminality and eventually prison. Look at black Republican Conservatives to see how a functioning black family should be. Democrats = disfunction, confusion, victim illusion complex within black communities.
Gavin McInnes was recently talking about how the black community ostracizes and picks on other blacks who don't conform to acting like the rest of blacks. He went on to say that in high school many white kids would go through different fads and phases like being punks or hipsters or nerds etc., but black kids would never seem to experiment with different trends, activities or interests outside of the basic black lifestyle expected of them.
Arrrr, matey. I do recall the glorious days of the arrival of digital distribution, where people were provided with cheap, convenient access online to vast booties of media. Now, those shores have darkened, and those same services remove or change content deemed "inappropriate" and have retreated behind the walls of multiple services, demanding more payment for less content. I do fear the days may be upon us to raise the flag again and return to the high seas
As a European, I don't see why you guys always have to say 'n word' instead of 'nigger'. I mean, it's not like people don't know what n word means anyway, what's the damn point. It's like restricting which language you can use based on your race. I understand you shouldn't insult somebody with the word 'nigger', but you should at least be able to say it.
I disagree. He is saying that Europeans don't understand why you say "n-word" instead of nigger.
That's wrong. Most Europeans know why. It's persecution. And it happens here just like it happened over there
took it as he’s looking at it from our point of view of constantly talking shit about how we have freedom of speech with the first amendment, which we all know is a joke and not true anymore at least in current year
You are wrong. You do have freedom of speech and the first amendment.
That's the difference between us.
In Europe we dont. In my country thedonald.win could be declared illegal and would be taken down by police.
You are able to create free alternatives. We are not. Unless we host in the US.
That's one of the reasons I'm here. Our freedom depends on the US staying free.
I do agree on you being in a very bad place though. No doubt about that
It's an important difference: the law does not prosecute us.
The culture persecutes us.
Many are beholden to that culture, some of us are not. Without the law on our side, we'd have no way of regaining our freedom. We're in a pickle, but the evil doesn't deserve to win.
It's out of respect. Older, younger, we were generally taught that it's not a nice word and shouldn't be used. Yes, you should be able to say it -- free speech and all -- but a lot of us still self censor, because A) it's not worth the indefensible misunderstanding or misrepresentation from other parties and B) we often don't believe using it is worth the offense that comes with it, because it's definitely an ugly word and we aren't actually racists -- contrary to the left's bullshit -- so we don't feel it's necessary to say the whole word.
I respectfully disagree. It's all about control. Blacks sling around the N word like it's nothing, then act horrified when a white person utters it. It divides society. White kid grows up hearing his black friends say the N word in an endearing way, and one day he uses it the same way as them and is then crucified. It's a "gotcha!" used to purposefully divide us.
Fuck them. Nigger is NOT an ugly word in the way it is used today, and the only way for us to unite is for everyone to be free to say it
It's silly. It's just a word that basically means the same thing as "black" but of course when used to name-call someone it takes on a lot more negative meaning.
Just referring to the word shouldn't necessitate having to not mention it, that's what little kids do. If you call someone that slur (or any other) be prepared for a backlash. But to limit speech when just referring to the word is asinine.
You know how I know it’s not a big deal? I could make a $5,000 bet that you could not turn on XM-44 HipHopNation for 5 minutes at any time of the day and not hear it 20 times, and I would win that bet every single time.
It's sad because black people have a beautiful history of music with some high quality and very successful talent. BB King, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Chuck Berry, Whitney Houston, etc. They should be proud of their musical heritage.
Like Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, and Gone With The Wind they are hidden as relics of the past that don't conform to the made up oppressed gangster culture they are now required to embrace.
Yes, boomer here. I want to know, were Stevie Wonder, Prince, Marvin Gaye and Michael Jackson included? The Temptations? If not, that playlist was pure bogus!!!
Black people are gifted with musical genius, and any "black playlist" that doesn't reflect that, is an outrageous insult to blacks!
I actually like Hendrix more than all of those I listed and yet I still forgot.
The list goes on and on. A playlist of black culture that is more than 25% rap is about as stupid and a disservice to black people as if there was a white playlist and it was all Nashville country music from the last decade.
Kendrick is the worst rapper of all time. Absolutely abysmal. No talent. Absolute garbage music. No idea how he is popular. Rap has degenerated to complete trash.
Only good song is Swimming Pools and then only when riding around in an Insurgent in GTA Online... or when Alex Jones rides around in the real world equivalent of the Insurgent... basically only good if you have an oversized Jeep.
It’s not my fault you choose to glorify that lifestyle. It’s not my fault you believe that shit. Not my fault it’s ruined your life because you believe the messaging that school and jobs and family and empathy is “white people shit.”
JFC, a couple of music producers decided to start pushing this kind of shit a couple decades ago and look what happened. It’s like burning a house down and pissing on the ashes.
Yep..I made a lot of money off these faggots..but I dumped my stock at around 310 dollars per share...now honestly...I'd short them because all the creativity in that company died with Steve Jobs.
This is a profound truth. I grew up in a family of jazz musicians. And they never cared about color. And they all remembered the days when half the band couldn't come into many venues through the front door. Or stay in the same hotel. They never cared about sex or gender or nationality or creed either. They only cared: did you have the chops? Could you play? If you could you were in the club. If not... they were still polite. But you weren't in the club. And yes, the idiots who made this list had an agenda. But no soul, no heart, and no knowledge either.
I do get it. I'm old. I remember when they first started banning the concept of racial uplift as a key to success. The more you focus on hate and mediocrity and war the more they win. It plays right into their game. I'll always fight back. But never on their terms.
I don't use Apple, but what is their policy of allowing children to use their service? Because if they exposed children forcibly to these lyrics, they broke several laws in several states.
White people telling black people what it means to be black. And being black means the word "nigger" must be used over and over and over again. Because that's a world all black people use all the time. It's definitively not a caricature.
Black people are complicit in this stuff and support it or don't really care. Adopting the leftist framing of the issue as "racist" or solely the work of white people forcing this on them means you have already lost.
Its just another reason that I am proud to be not afraid of being white.Many Black Americans are disgusted with those lyrics too plus they refuse to assimilate into American Society.
Some IQ's just don't care.
I used to transcribe music lyrics by ear last year to make some side money part-time. Everyone HATED to translate modern rap, not only because it would be hard as hell to hear what they're mumbling but also you had to get accurate what they're were talking about and get the correct spelling right. I had to research correct spelling for name brand luxury items like Gucci etc. had to look up caliber of bullets and brand names of guns, and the correct spelling of all these prescriptions pills they were abbreviating. It was hell. Black music that would come through from the 50's-80's was all upbeat, or had a wise positive message, or about love or heartbreak or hardwork.
Name one other music style that preaches violence, literally drive by shootings, fucking your best friends girl, corporate luxury clothing labels, killing cops, being in prison is cool, not having a wife and kids but doing prescription medication for fun. But no... it's totally not a cultural thing, it's why pee pole!
I heard something about that through an interview from someone in the industry at the time. Wonder how deep the Clinton's cartel was. Listen to modern rap if you haven't though it's even worse than in the 90's.
Yeah, I hate seeing all the people agreeing with the bs that "this IS black culture."
No it's not. White whigger kids probably make up more of the audience than black people do. The gangsta rap scene is a counter culture, and certainly not embraced by all black people in the US. It would be interesting to have accurate data on this ...
Leftist argumentation right now is basically "we can't have standards because black people exist, if you want to have any standards that's racist." Hmmm :/
A brief study of the founding statement of “Black Lives Matter” indicates the movement is being hijacked by the interests & parties committed to dismantling the very values, structure & institutions which have over the centuries undergird the best civilisations & cultures!
I think we are at the poi t where this organization dies bc of it's own wait and mission statement!!! This isnt about black lives and normal people understand this now!!
Seriously? That's what they think "black culture" is? N$#@A this, bitch/ho that? No mention of early black music? Or of the Delta Blues that was the building block for modern rock/metal/country music? Or Ledbelly, a huge influence to Kurt Cobain? Or gospel/spirituals which gave rise to the blues? No mention of jazz? No Motown, Soul, or R&B? Or even early hip hop? Or early rock pioneers like Chubby Checker, Little Richard, etc? No mention of "Mannish Boy", one of the most famous intro riffs in music history?
I find Apple's definition of "black culture" to be ignorant, stupid, perpetuating negative stereotypes, patronizing, insulting, and just plain racist.
Those lyrics are fucking stupid. Please don't deport me.
Yeah, yeah this is my palace, champagne in my chalice
I got it all covered like a wedding band

Stop buying Apple or sue them for giving you propaganda instead of the service you are paying. They'll do the same thing next time because there are no consequences.
It was. I think people are getting fed up and find it cringy. Maybe I'm biased though because hey, I'm on TD.win
Reminder: Apple manufacturers its products with Chinese Communist Party's slave labor.

This is why they're all trying to stop Trump.
It's the modern day slave owners, rights grabbers, and tyrants all over again.
If we had a modicum of the self respect and balls of our forefathers, there would be a lot of well deserving people finding themselves on the wrong end of ropes.
THIS!
Agreed. I used to love rap music but as I've grown I've come to acknowledge its roots in ignorance, hate and immaturity. That generalizing all of Hip Hop, because there are some good rappers and songs out there. However, the majority of rappers and rap songs have no motivating substance. Its all a gangster, criminal, don't fuck with me, money, guns, bitches, fuck cops, my homies mentality.
Maybe one day rap can become more influenced again by Jazz, Blues and Rock. In its current form, this art called rap and hip hop is a disastrous trap for the youth and ignorant adults.
A whole lot of us while grew up on rap fell this way. It’s destructive as fuck to young minds, especially fatherless young minds. Which is why the music corporations push it soo hard.
It's meant to keep people stupid. But it's all they got to promote any more, rock has been dead for a long time and is too expensive to produce.
Anyone with a modicum of sense realizes rap is crap. "Rock is too expensive to produce" is no excuse. Try an orchestra!
Greed defines the music industry, rap is cheap as hell to make, rock requires studio time and musicians that can play and promotion and radio and all that.
Rap is consumed by morons who don't give a shit about quality. Written by a ghost writer who just churns it out.
Extremely accurate
I quit listening to rap because I haven't heard a original sound in years. Every rap song I hear, I feel like I heard 5 just like it a hundred times each.
Can you even imagine libraries full of books whose text consisted of rap lyrics? Maybe some stylized illustrations of the 'action parts'. Or fun pop-ups when you open the page of money and guns and hos?
Better yet, imagine a rap song inspired by The Enigma of Amigara Fault MANGA
Right. I bet I'm a little older than you because by the time Snoopy Dog was making rap, I was in my 20s and old enough to see it as pathetic. The songs I heard were him whining that women didn't want his boring, stoned ass. So he called them lesbians and hoes. And fantasized about hating cops who were just doing what Biden (and Gore) asked them to.
The equivalent for me might be 80s movies, where I was too young to see them as sad bravado. Men shooting guns perfectly and boring people getting the prettiest girl because they wanted to and girls could do no wrong. (Of course there still making those movies but as "super heroes.")
Sorry to highjack, but this seems like the best opportunity to ask...what music artists do you 'pedes like? I've been dying for new music but everything out there is liberal degeneracy. Any artists I(we) should check out? Deftones are my favorite band and (so far) they have done a great job of keeping politics out of their music. I'm hoping that when the .win network expands there will be places for us to discuss 'pede-friendly media like films, music, books, ect.
And speaking of hip-hop, Immortal Technique, Talib Kweli and Mos Def (or whatever his name is now) crack me up watching them appease to their lefty massas. I've loved Kanye since before his car accident and watched as the people around me went from loving his music to calling it garbage. Hilarious.

Recently I've been enjoying Mumford & Sons; Jamey Johnson; Breaking Benjamin; bunch of RetroWave music; Chris Botti jazz; some Post-Rock music like God Is An Astronaut and Explosions In The Sky; Muse; Thievery Corporation chillout; 3 Doors Down; Royal Blood; Rebelution reggae; Blank & Jones chill; and a lot of jazz and classical scores like composers such as Max Richter and Thomas Bergersen.
Sorry a little late on my reply, but man I've been checking out some of this music. Love it! Explosions in the Sky is helping me get through my daily work. Thanks so much!
I listened to old school rap back in the 80s, NWA, Public Enemy, Eric B and Rakim, Run DMC, and of course beasties, but I haven't kept up because honestly I feel the soul has been sucked out of it. Some George Clinton and Parliament too, but I don't know if that qualifies.
Elliot Smith (sad but some of the best music I’ve ever heard)
oohh, never thought to check him out. i most definitely will!
It’s the lowest level of narcissism. Fuck everyone else, me me me me.
Some rap is alright but it’s so fucking played out and unoriginal. Now they are mumbling melodies because it’s all been done before.
Yeah, being a conservative, christian, with no tattoos, and refraining from casual sex is how to rebel these days.
Tattoos used to be earned. Now every fuckboi and thottess are covered in them. And they're all tasteless. "This is an anchor to keep me grounded." the fuck? "This is a feather so I remember to fly"
That's me. And no socila media. Zip.
Not all rap is degenerate - watch Lupe Fiasco show how modern gangsta rappers are the same as old-time blackface - it’s a fake persona these rappers put on - powerful video and actually a good song about how degenerate black culture is at least partly the result of false images and negative role models pushed by the rap industry https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=emb_title&v=C3m3t_PxiUI
The tragedy is I only have one upvote to give.
When you are racist yourself, you don't see this. You think that caricature is real because you have no actual real black people in your life that you care about. And of course, the clowns know how to monetize this caricature.
"Racism is not dead, but it is on life support — kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as 'racists.'" - Thomas Sowell
Sounds like anecdotal evidence. FBI crime stats say otherwise. Its pretty damn real for quite a bit of black youth.
27% of all crime, 53% of murders, 54% of robberies, 29% of estimated rapes, Black community has a crime problem and in order for it to be fixed you have to be honest about it. "i have black friends that are cool" doesnt mean problems dont exist.
You might now understand me. What I am saying is that black (and white) artists use the thug image to sell their shit. And then yes, that does influence more black crime do kids know it is an act? Now they think that is THE legit way to be. And then you correctly note some key stats on how bad black criminality is - the gangster shit clearly has an influence.
Recall the Saturday Night Fever was all made up. There were no disco moves like that. Disco wasn't even a thing, ffs. But amazingly everyone acted like that was the only way to do when it was clear there was only one influence.
Ironically, woke pan queen Janelle Monae tweeted about this last week. How all this shit needs to stop, blah blah blah. They are fucking eating their own now and it’s great to watch. What I’ve learned from the woke crowd is that they are a bunch of weak minded individuals that cannot take any criticism of any kind. Everything is a micro aggression and they think they can just magically disappear all bad evil thoughts in the world. They are fucking horrible and people like them should never have any power.
I mean at this point id say a lot of these rappers definitely did crime at some point and then got out of it by becoming a rapper.
The question is does their culture dictate the music, or does the music dictate the culture.
What they rap about and portray is black people in america. If they as a community changed their ways and fixed themselves maybe the music would change aswell. If it stayed the same then it absolutely would be 100% fake.
Damn, I love you for this, pede. I have loved smart hip hop and felt for the black community since I was a teenager for this very reason. Held captive by the very people they THINK are there to help them. It’s fucking heartbreaking. They deserve better.
Glad you liked it - I especially love how he shows how fake the whole gangsta personality is - essentially the same as a clown, acting a part. There is some kind of conspiracy theory that gangsta rap was started by some shady people to help fill the for profit prisons - there was a time when hip hop was positive and uplifting, now it’s just blackface
Why arent more people in their community saying what Lupe says in that song?
Case in point, Snoop Dog. Total pussy that people believe is hard as fuck. It's an act. In a fair fist fight most of us would have him crying for his mother.
I agree that some hip-hop is great. To your point, Reggie Watts also has a great song where he makes fun of black gangster culture in rap. "You take some shit, you take some fuck, you got a fuck shit stack, a fuck shit stack come on."

Dude called the Hodge Twins coons on the internet. He wouldn't say a fucking word to them in person. Lmao
I remember .. Was it when eazy was still alive? Making fun of then fledgling rapper snoop saying he was 90 pounds wet and with boots on, and calling him out for being a "studio gangster" good times.
Remember when hiring an illegal alien was risky in California, then once it stopped getting prosecuted it was courageous?
Defund Human Resources Departments
Agree. Also defund anything and anyone with the name "diversity" included in title.
Defund anything called ____ Studies in college
I agree with you!
Nervously sweats because I work in HR...Straight White Male...I also am currently sitting near the top...because being a guy I happen to be a little more 'competitive' and see each role as how it benefits me and me only and that attitude has made me a lot of money...
Only race of people who would commit crimes against their own people and go on to get honored and have a billion dollars and still bitch about oppression in this country. Who with an ounce of intelligence would listen to and believe that guy? All races listen to and believe that guy.
Don't forget when Rick Ross's ankle bracelet went off in the Oval Office and the media framed it as cool and funny. 6 years later Kanye's invite is framed as a joke and disgraceful. Enemy of the people.
That absolutely pissed me off, not just because of the BLM propaganda, but also because Apple was literally preventing you from using a service you were paying for.
This wasn’t just some ad or extra feature. They actually removed most of the Apple Music functionality that day in order to shove that nonsense down your throat.
Companies care about forcing you woke not making money.
These "companies" are just battlefield assets for those seeking to destroy us.
Time to disengage. Read old books. Make your own music. Cook your own food. Grow some of it too if you can. Accumulate skills and network with people who have skills you don't have.
Return to monke
With family and lots of kids
But you still have to buy the songs to put on the mp3 player, which supports people who hate you.
Or you have to steal them which damages your integrity and imperils your soul.
I don't care what the law says. If the music has value and you utilize that value without exchanging value for it, that's theft.
There’s money in the equation somewhere, at least they think there is. Under socialism the rich would get even richer and only us normies would suffer. How else would it make sense that rich movie stars would support it. Capitalism made them money, but Socialism would make them gods.
Read the story of brooks brothers, they got bought out, went woke af, and just went bankrupt.
Yeah, they think there’s money in it, and from a business point of view it would seem to make sense to at least avoid offending groups of people, because everyone is a potential customer, but what they don’t seem to grasp is that most people are annoyed by the constant obnoxious, disingenuous virtue signaling.
But what I’m also trying to say is that if the country would go totally socialist/ communist, there would be, like, tax incentives or breaks or something for these woke companies/ people. There’s money in it for them somewhere, otherwise they wouldn’t be encouraging it, they’d just sell me their damn products and then shut the fuck up about their morals.
They have alternative sources of "funding" that would make us ill if we knew the scope and origins of it. The good news is that the masks are off. We now know them as the confirmed enemies. Wish that we could boycott them all, but it is somewhat difficult since they own most everything in our world.
Has anyone threatened to sue? That seems like a breach of their terms and certainly doesn’t sound like it comports with the numerous representations they make when advertising the service.
Day of the service costs like 35 cents. Sue on behalf a class of the 60 million subscribers. That’s close to $20 million. Take 40% in fees. $8 million. I could tolerate the hate for $8 million.
No - it doesn't work like that. The subscription isn't for a day. It is for a month. Damages are $15.99 per subscriber.
So that's $959,400,000 in damages
When a class is certified, then you can start stacking attorneys fees on top of that.
Oh yeah and wouldn't you know it, the attorneys fees are like $600-1000 an hour. And it is hard work finding all those 60 MM subscribers.
Could be wrong on some details - maybe there is a better class action expert than me on this DOM.
Class action or not, if the service functioned normally the whole month except for one day, why would they owe anyone more than the 1 day cost of service? (35 cents)
Lots of other class action questions come up re: lawyers, plannedemic, and plannedriots.
Failure of consideration. The consideration was a month worth of service. Was a month's worth of service provided?
And if I take you argument well it wasn't even a full day it was denied, so 35 cents would be too much.
I contracted to have Apple Music on demand for a complete month. Tell me how they satisfied their obligation to provide bargained-for services under their monthly contract?
I hope you're right. Per dium seems to be the way Courts look at such things. Seems they were thinking nobody would sue over 35 cents.
I'd love to see them buried under this ....
You could only sue for the day it didn’t work, not the month. I had assumed it was $10 a month. You don’t get a separate hourly fee on antitrust plaintiffs cases, you just get a cut of the settlement or verdict.
That's fucking amazing. You couldn't even search for other music? Glad I don't use that shit.
I was playing Call of Duty and every single loading screen had black lives matter crap everywhere. They also delayed an update they were going to release because of the BLM shit. So sick of this shit. When this stuff used to happen I would just stop using a service or buying a product but now it’s being forced down our throats by literally everyone.
None of the games my husband and I play did that to us.
I hate to say this, because as a gamer I know that everyone has different tastes and such, but at least in gaming it is avoidable; you just have to be willing to drop AAA titles like CoD and Fortnite. Again, I'm very sorry (I actually am, I wish they'd just let all of us play video games like we wanted), but try out games from other parts of the world and lesser known developers, or hell even older games that still hold up.
Escape from Tarkov is Russian so they don't care about any of this. A lot of the old Star Wars games still have ongoing communities. Any Japanese game is pretty damn safe, like Phantasy Star Online 2. Or hell, just stick to the slightly smaller AA studios: games like Risk of Rain don't have the development resources to do that kind of crazy shit at the drop of a hat.
But just so you know, if it doesn't hurt the player numbers for CoD that they did this, then they will do it again.
Vote with your wallet. My life has become much simpler and easier as I cut unwanted brands out of my life.
This is why individual boycotts are meaningless in the grand scheme of things. The companies know that they still be making money, and lots of it. They do not care if a handful of people cancel services or not buy their product.
I had no idea what this was about until you wrote your comment and this was what was reported on Bloomberg:

This is not Woke.
This is a communist takeover.
And they are exploiting black people to do it.
If Spotify ever gets this woke I'll cancel them in a heartbeat and go with someone else.
That's outrageous
they banned infowars and milo podcasts
that happened a long time ago , limbs
They already did
I noticed some recommend BLM compilations sigh but easily ignored and didn't impact my user experience. Did I miss something else?
No that's about it. But it's enough for me
Yeah but which company isn't woke these days. Mild compared to this Apple shit by the looks of things.
It's so depressing. Why are there almost no prominent conservatives
I hear you bud
Do you have a link? I'd always heard that and never looked into it myself but it's definitely accepted as truth now
Let them provide a link. THEY are the ones making crazy ridiculous claims without proof.
There are literally descendants of Sally Hemings that have DNA matching descendants from Jefferson. Its been pretty solidified that he fathered children with her. It was known even during Jefferson’s time and was used as political leverage against him.
The DNA thing is true, but they don't know for sure if it means Thomas Jefferson himself or someone else in the wider Jefferson family. The idea that it was TJ comes mainly from the rumor and gossip of the time.
It easily could be him, but it isn't definite.
Yah, but as far as I know Jefferson didn’t RAPE her. Especially since if she wanted to she could have run away in France and he had to beg anc concede to get her to return with him to the US. It isn’t what I would call a mode relationship but it does seem to have been consensual and even romantic.
WRONG.
What kind of reply is this? Please elaborate.
The actual truth is more likely that his “skin is kind of light because his ancestors raped somebody who was white. “
Mike Obama and his ‘truths’.
What a sham but we’ve let the barbarians storm the gates, run our homes and schools.
Who said it was rape?
Maybe it was a loving relationship.
There is way more black DNA in white Americans than the narrative supports.
Some people claim that five of our "white" presidents would be black under the one-drop rule.
I'd like for us all to be Americans first.
Exactly, hell, one reason for the Jim Crow era blood quotas was an attempt by Democrats to clarify who was white and who wasn’t because they did the math and realized that almost all of them would have at least some non-white blood in them, which would’ve freaked them the eff out. Lol
This is what Democrats have reduced the African-American population to, it is a form of oppression, it brainwashes black youth to aspire to be like these gangbangers, in reality this puts them on a path of continual unemployment and into a life of drugs and criminality and eventually prison. Look at black Republican Conservatives to see how a functioning black family should be. Democrats = disfunction, confusion, victim illusion complex within black communities.
Agreed 110%
Gavin McInnes was recently talking about how the black community ostracizes and picks on other blacks who don't conform to acting like the rest of blacks. He went on to say that in high school many white kids would go through different fads and phases like being punks or hipsters or nerds etc., but black kids would never seem to experiment with different trends, activities or interests outside of the basic black lifestyle expected of them.
If planned parenthood don't get them the social conditioning will, and when things go wrong, blame the party that freed the slaves
So poetic and you are right. And while I’ve realized the basics of this for a long time, you make me put it.
During the time of slavery, black culture urged people to be free.
During the time of Jim Crow, black culture urged people to be equal citizens.
Now black culture urged people to be gangsta convicts.
The old school Ku Kluxer demos would Maeve at what their modern heirs have managed to do.
Couldn't force me, I don't use that or any streaming music service. Fuck em all.
The correct answer!
Arrrr, matey. I do recall the glorious days of the arrival of digital distribution, where people were provided with cheap, convenient access online to vast booties of media. Now, those shores have darkened, and those same services remove or change content deemed "inappropriate" and have retreated behind the walls of multiple services, demanding more payment for less content. I do fear the days may be upon us to raise the flag again and return to the high seas

As a European, I don't see why you guys always have to say 'n word' instead of 'nigger'. I mean, it's not like people don't know what n word means anyway, what's the damn point. It's like restricting which language you can use based on your race. I understand you shouldn't insult somebody with the word 'nigger', but you should at least be able to say it.
Please don't speak for all of Europe. I'm in Europe and I could possibly go to prison, be fined and lose my job for saying nigger.
"N-word" is how the media refers to it here too
I disagree. He is saying that Europeans don't understand why you say "n-word" instead of nigger. That's wrong. Most Europeans know why. It's persecution. And it happens here just like it happened over there
You are wrong. You do have freedom of speech and the first amendment. That's the difference between us.
In Europe we dont. In my country thedonald.win could be declared illegal and would be taken down by police.
You are able to create free alternatives. We are not. Unless we host in the US.
That's one of the reasons I'm here. Our freedom depends on the US staying free.
I do agree on you being in a very bad place though. No doubt about that
It's an important difference: the law does not prosecute us.
The culture persecutes us.
Many are beholden to that culture, some of us are not. Without the law on our side, we'd have no way of regaining our freedom. We're in a pickle, but the evil doesn't deserve to win.
It's out of respect. Older, younger, we were generally taught that it's not a nice word and shouldn't be used. Yes, you should be able to say it -- free speech and all -- but a lot of us still self censor, because A) it's not worth the indefensible misunderstanding or misrepresentation from other parties and B) we often don't believe using it is worth the offense that comes with it, because it's definitely an ugly word and we aren't actually racists -- contrary to the left's bullshit -- so we don't feel it's necessary to say the whole word.
I respectfully disagree. It's all about control. Blacks sling around the N word like it's nothing, then act horrified when a white person utters it. It divides society. White kid grows up hearing his black friends say the N word in an endearing way, and one day he uses it the same way as them and is then crucified. It's a "gotcha!" used to purposefully divide us.
Fuck them. Nigger is NOT an ugly word in the way it is used today, and the only way for us to unite is for everyone to be free to say it
It's as cringey as saying "he dropped an f bomb"
It's silly. It's just a word that basically means the same thing as "black" but of course when used to name-call someone it takes on a lot more negative meaning. Just referring to the word shouldn't necessitate having to not mention it, that's what little kids do. If you call someone that slur (or any other) be prepared for a backlash. But to limit speech when just referring to the word is asinine.
what a great point. the absurdity of our age is beyond the "dark" middle ages.
Joggermania
Oh yeah brother
Haiti did all that, started murdering whites and look at how great their society has been ever since!
Apple doesn't have a misconception.
Apple has an agenda to push.
They are MK Ultra'ing the entire population -- pushing the idea that blacks are violent and racist.
The entertainment industry created that music in the first place.
It is controlled by people who hate America and who want to destroy it.
And those black squares?
Saturn. Just a facet of the black cube.
Thank you
We can use the word nigger.
I am done allowing only certain people to use the word nigger.
like they don't accuse of of being racist when you use "n word." That just is a buying in to the entire lie
free speech means ALL WORDS and ideas are freely expressed
if you got a better way, prove it by promotion instead of cancel culture.
You know how I know it’s not a big deal? I could make a $5,000 bet that you could not turn on XM-44 HipHopNation for 5 minutes at any time of the day and not hear it 20 times, and I would win that bet every single time.
This is edgy but I get your point.
It's sad because black people have a beautiful history of music with some high quality and very successful talent. BB King, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Chuck Berry, Whitney Houston, etc. They should be proud of their musical heritage.
Like Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, and Gone With The Wind they are hidden as relics of the past that don't conform to the made up oppressed gangster culture they are now required to embrace.
Yes, boomer here. I want to know, were Stevie Wonder, Prince, Marvin Gaye and Michael Jackson included? The Temptations? If not, that playlist was pure bogus!!!
Black people are gifted with musical genius, and any "black playlist" that doesn't reflect that, is an outrageous insult to blacks!
Brainwash black youth.
Make white people pissed off -- everyone has to listen to that tripe.
It's part of the commie coup.
They're going to bring up the Tulsa massacre of 1921 and destruction of black wall St. Because it's all whypepo's fault.
To the gulag with you!
Which tribe?
Don’t forget Jimi Hendrix! Best guitar player of all time in my opinion.
I actually like Hendrix more than all of those I listed and yet I still forgot.
The list goes on and on. A playlist of black culture that is more than 25% rap is about as stupid and a disservice to black people as if there was a white playlist and it was all Nashville country music from the last decade.
Kendrick is the same dude who yelled at a white girl for singing along to him live. So obviously even enjoying his work is racist.
Kendrick is the worst rapper of all time. Absolutely abysmal. No talent. Absolute garbage music. No idea how he is popular. Rap has degenerated to complete trash.
Only good song is Swimming Pools and then only when riding around in an Insurgent in GTA Online... or when Alex Jones rides around in the real world equivalent of the Insurgent... basically only good if you have an oversized Jeep.
Tim Cook has to do what China tells him to.

Yeah I love getting pushed gangster rap.
It’s not my fault you choose to glorify that lifestyle. It’s not my fault you believe that shit. Not my fault it’s ruined your life because you believe the messaging that school and jobs and family and empathy is “white people shit.”
JFC, a couple of music producers decided to start pushing this kind of shit a couple decades ago and look what happened. It’s like burning a house down and pissing on the ashes.
Yeah I'd go ahead and never buy anything from them again
Apples a hipster brand. No reason to buy from them unless you want to show off
Yep..I made a lot of money off these faggots..but I dumped my stock at around 310 dollars per share...now honestly...I'd short them because all the creativity in that company died with Steve Jobs.
Somewhere Nat King Cole and Count Basie are crying.
Albert King.
I went to listen to Albert King and I got this trash.
SMDH I feel you. And it hurts. That they are pushing such trash when there is so much greatness to be celebrated.
Musicians are the most colorblind people in the world. Always have been.
This was clearly an idea of people who have no fucking talent.
And no fucking soul.
This is a profound truth. I grew up in a family of jazz musicians. And they never cared about color. And they all remembered the days when half the band couldn't come into many venues through the front door. Or stay in the same hotel. They never cared about sex or gender or nationality or creed either. They only cared: did you have the chops? Could you play? If you could you were in the club. If not... they were still polite. But you weren't in the club. And yes, the idiots who made this list had an agenda. But no soul, no heart, and no knowledge either.
+1
Don't you get it?
They don't want greatness.
They want war.
They want blood in the streets.
I do get it. I'm old. I remember when they first started banning the concept of racial uplift as a key to success. The more you focus on hate and mediocrity and war the more they win. It plays right into their game. I'll always fight back. But never on their terms.
I don't use Apple, but what is their policy of allowing children to use their service? Because if they exposed children forcibly to these lyrics, they broke several laws in several states.
White people telling black people what it means to be black. And being black means the word "nigger" must be used over and over and over again. Because that's a world all black people use all the time. It's definitively not a caricature.
Apple is a racist company and deserves to die.
Black people are complicit in this stuff and support it or don't really care. Adopting the leftist framing of the issue as "racist" or solely the work of white people forcing this on them means you have already lost.
A lot dont care so long as they get their gibs

It reminds me of that U2 album they forced on everyone, that many people didn't want and had trouble deleting.
fuck apple products, i didnt want the U2 album either!
Only realized a couple days ago that Apple News has BLM and COVID tabs you can't hide. This doesn't surprise me.
Never opened it the whole time I've had my iPad. Couldn't delete it faster.
Its just another reason that I am proud to be not afraid of being white.Many Black Americans are disgusted with those lyrics too plus they refuse to assimilate into American Society. Some IQ's just don't care.
Having major companies continue to make $$$ from the use of the N word is a disgrace. Nobody should refer to anyone as a nigger.
Empower your brother, empower yourself.
Was "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing" on that list? I would be shocked if the black national anthem somehow didn't represent black culture!
I used to transcribe music lyrics by ear last year to make some side money part-time. Everyone HATED to translate modern rap, not only because it would be hard as hell to hear what they're mumbling but also you had to get accurate what they're were talking about and get the correct spelling right. I had to research correct spelling for name brand luxury items like Gucci etc. had to look up caliber of bullets and brand names of guns, and the correct spelling of all these prescriptions pills they were abbreviating. It was hell. Black music that would come through from the 50's-80's was all upbeat, or had a wise positive message, or about love or heartbreak or hardwork.
Name one other music style that preaches violence, literally drive by shootings, fucking your best friends girl, corporate luxury clothing labels, killing cops, being in prison is cool, not having a wife and kids but doing prescription medication for fun. But no... it's totally not a cultural thing, it's why pee pole!
Bill Clinton and his music mogul friends started this crap.
It was deliberate.
It was brainwashing.
If you didn't perform gangsta rap, you didn't get a contract.
I heard something about that through an interview from someone in the industry at the time. Wonder how deep the Clinton's cartel was. Listen to modern rap if you haven't though it's even worse than in the 90's.
Let me guess, not one song by Louis Armstrong? Arethra Franklin? Miles Davis? Michael Jackson?
No Temptations, or BB King. No Jimi Hendrix. No bebop, which was pioneered and largely performed by black people.
No Prince.
Pretty much a ban on talent. And here they claim big tech is against hate speech.
Truly shows the racism of the left. Mostly ghetto rap with some Stevie wonder mixed in.
Most of the black people I know are metal heads.
Yeah, I hate seeing all the people agreeing with the bs that "this IS black culture."
No it's not. White whigger kids probably make up more of the audience than black people do. The gangsta rap scene is a counter culture, and certainly not embraced by all black people in the US. It would be interesting to have accurate data on this ...
Leftist argumentation right now is basically "we can't have standards because black people exist, if you want to have any standards that's racist." Hmmm :/
Why don't we ask for a different opinion?

A brief study of the founding statement of “Black Lives Matter” indicates the movement is being hijacked by the interests & parties committed to dismantling the very values, structure & institutions which have over the centuries undergird the best civilisations & cultures!
Uh yeah no, its not hijacked, it's always been a radical organization. They murdered 6 police officers in Dallas during the previous administration
Absolutely, it's taking others longer to wake up.
The point is they're being called out across a wider spectrum.
The only way they can get you to listen is to make it the only thing available..........sound like a plan that's been used over and over in history?
They couldn't get us to listen even then.
I keep pressing suggest less like this, and Apple keeps forcing it down my throat.
Sounds gay. Apple is gay.
We the People by Tribe Called Quest is the only song that makes sense.

Forced playlist? Like you couldn't your phone from playing it? I don't own any trash that Apple produces.
Can the FCC possibly crack down on the nigga this nigga that?.
No. They're too intimidated. Even SCOTUS is intimidated.
I think we are at the poi t where this organization dies bc of it's own wait and mission statement!!! This isnt about black lives and normal people understand this now!!
Unfortunately, this is what is widely accepted and perpetuated as "black" culture by liberal ideology. It's gross, really.
Seriously? That's what they think "black culture" is? N$#@A this, bitch/ho that? No mention of early black music? Or of the Delta Blues that was the building block for modern rock/metal/country music? Or Ledbelly, a huge influence to Kurt Cobain? Or gospel/spirituals which gave rise to the blues? No mention of jazz? No Motown, Soul, or R&B? Or even early hip hop? Or early rock pioneers like Chubby Checker, Little Richard, etc? No mention of "Mannish Boy", one of the most famous intro riffs in music history?
I find Apple's definition of "black culture" to be ignorant, stupid, perpetuating negative stereotypes, patronizing, insulting, and just plain racist.
Username checks out. We're gonna need a bigger basket!
They can't erase the past if we keep bringing it up.
Apple needs to be tried for this. They put songs with lyrics about murdering police officers onto everyone’s phones during the riots. It’s astounding.
Thank you.
You seem to be the only one who gets it.
Maybe no one else glanced at the lyrics?
These songs were chosen to hypnotize people into violence.
Yes, they should be tried for this.
MDAQATA - make draw and quarter a thing again
Those lyrics are fucking stupid. Please don't deport me.

Do anybody got it? I say anybody got it?
Yeah this is why I cancelled my Apple music in the beginning of June. My grandfather was an NYPD detective.
Stop buying Apple or sue them for giving you propaganda instead of the service you are paying. They'll do the same thing next time because there are no consequences.
Did they put any of the Eminem songs on there where he talked about killing the mother of his child?
