Out of all the rappers locked up the past 20 years name one who sold millions of records while he was in jail.
Why would Jack Harlow be associated with this? He’s from Suburban Louisville.
Bruh you can't even get too many black folk who are not rappers to stop saying the N word to each other. On top of that too many black folk allow non black folk to say the word. So don't get made that others won't allow you to disrespect them, their culture, and their people.
If record companies are signing black artist who are thugs.
Then the solution is for black folk not to support those thugs and the thuggish culture.
You right and the thing is these ignornant niggas are street dudes first and that's all they know we have to place some of the blame on the culture of getting hot rapping, these cats got little skills and education and not the type to grind for a CDL and make a honest living OTR, they gonna take the easy way or the fatest way to getting a bag and the record companies play a part in this.
If they would stop targetting street niggas for music this wouldn't happen since their's little incentive to do it for cats, cats would just be low level drug dealers and probably the murder rate would go do.
Like I thought last night how Young Thug got 28 niggas so quick to ride for him? possibility of fame and respect and that's all these cats know how to do, it's not hard to wave a potential bag over a dude face who have nothing to begin with, a rusty handgun and the promise of a come up and niggas will ride for you.
Companies need to take some of the blame, real talk, lessen the incentive to prevent these things from happening.
Young black men in the hood with no role models, hoes not fucking cuz they broke and dusty and a rapper offers you a chain for some loyalty and you'll sign up, record companies know the deal why so many cacs go to the military? The potential of coming up and living better with the risk of dying.
You get publishing with the guy out of prison too. What you don’t get is money from yours and merchandise. Guys sell more when they aren’t locked up as opposed to being locked up.
Why are record companies "hiring" people with criminal backgrounds and giving them a platform.
Its funny they can do a background check on Burger King workers but when that same BK worker with a criminal record applies for a record com job all common sense goes out the window.
Facebook can ban Farrakhan yet let these lil fuckers scream kill those ******* 50 million times while scores of while people click the like button.
The hypocrisy is amazing. White people in rap NEVER go to jail or get kill yet are allowed to hang around like groupies.
Its funny how all these indictments start hitting hard when Latinos like 69 and all the white rappers started floating around.
The 90% of black rappers who allow this mess have been hand picked because of legal problems. The rest are just gay white groupies. This is why the rap game is for fuck bois and fake.
Real niggas would never want to hang around that crowd. Niggas who rap in 2022, I assume they are gay and keep it moving. Yhe art of snitching to a beat is played out
I don't know what world these niggas living and kr what the hell they smokin' but they have no grulip I'm reality that much I know.
LOL at people not in the industry talking like they know what the fuck is going on. No label wants their artist locked up. Period. A small gun charge is one thing. Doing years destroys careers. Bobby Shurda is done. Pooh Sheisty is also done . He will never get back where he was. YMN Melly. Done.
Music industry is different. If a rapper gets locked up and he is popular his streams will go up
If you guys think these multi billion dollar companies don't know what there artists are doing and engaged in then your are a fool. They know full well and don't care as long as they can make the label money. Watch thugs streams during this trial or case..whose gonna benefit from this attention he is getting?
Not him
Not him
Black folk are we not tired of excuses? This or that person dies and it's a conspiracy. This or that person kills someone and it's somebody else's fault. This or that one sells drugs and it's the man.
It's time for accountability.
Kevin Samuels seems to have been very big around these parts with dudes talking about women needing to be accountable.
Yet what I am seeing from too many around these parts is people not wanting to be accountable. Stop with these excuses for people putting themselves in bad situations. Mutherfucker is up out the hood with millions and that still aint good enough with all the crying about how bad the hood is. This is why the cycle continues because we prime the youngins..to bad behavior being exceptiable. If they do something bad, then it not their fault.

A Rico conspiracy deals with organized crime, not record companies or the music his. Yung thug and his ysl gang conspired to kill somebody not the record company.. record companies give their artist advancements for music business finances because they are hoping for a return on those advances. Once again it was ysl . I shouldn't even be explaining this to you but Incase you missed it . NOBODY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS BUT YUNG THUG AND HIS ASSOCIATES EVERYTHING THAT Happened IS ON THEM THE RICO ACT IS FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF CIVICTING ORGANIZED. CRIME I.E. GANGS AND NOT THE MUSIC BIS. IF YUNG THUG AND YSL STUCK WITH THE MUSIC INSTEAD OF THE STRSETS THEY EOUKDNT BE IN THIS SITUATION IN THE FIRST PLACE. NOBODY IS AT FAULT BYIT THEM. THE RECORD COMPANY GAVE THEM AN ADVANCE AND THEY MISUSED THEIR RESOURCES .WHY IS THAT SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND? I'm not going back and forth on this.
Same can be said in reverse. When you consistently blame people for their conditions and not the policies that create it. I do blame our youth for celebrating and indulging in this and considering entertainment. But your country is built on violence and theft. What does America do when they have a beef or they want someone's resources? Who prosecutes the father's of crime? I know I know pick yourself up by the bootstraps and cute poverty and unemployment yourself like no other group has done in history lmao
she ain’t playing
Anything not to hold self accountable
I don't think that's what they're saying.
They just have seen this play out before and see the broader scale; capitalism, racism/white supremacy, manipulation ...all play a role.
Its the same playbook used with Christianity to control black slaves.
"Do good, worship this white deity that's higher than you, don't rebel, don't revolt and maybe attain salvation in the afterlife."
Temporarily. Out of sight, out of mind, and the fans move on to the next.
Bredren, remember the thread where you educated me on how even if we did everything in our power to level up, that we would only progress marginally?
This is similar to that.
I understand what you're saying tho. I struggle with that. Whether to leave it at home because that's not what I'm on.. on keep it on me to just so I make it home.
feel you 100000%
stop with the excuses.
stop with the whataboutism.
The record company? They want to make money, period. If you can prove, the label Actively setup hits in prison, murders, etc sure hold them accountable. All these posts about the label but what about Thug and his "people" not commiting these crimes. Let's start there and focus on that first.
Some people refuse to see that..easier to blame everything on the people you see and not the policies behind it
The reporter had to be trolling.
If record labels banned signing street rappers and stuck to the Drakes and Jack Harlows the militants would be up in arms.
The "policies" affect every single one of us but somehow I never rented a car to arrange a hit on an "opp".
Maybe its just me and thats common for the rest of yall
Right

Who is Jack Harlow?
That's great for you. Rugged individualism gets us no where. Everybody doesn't have the chance you did. We can't pull ourselves from out bootstraps or vote our way out of poverty. Black wealth been the same or close since 1865. That's our fault too right?The "policies" affect every single one of us but somehow I never rented a car to arrange a hit on an "opp".
