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.
