Tupac Shakur, Notorious BIG, King Von, Pop Smoke all these dudes made the record companies richer after they died. Bobby Shmurder & Rowdy Rebel just came out of jail and were treated like Royalty. These record companies have million dollar insurance policies on these rappers heads. Afeni Shakur had a net worth of $50 million at the time of her death in 2016. Tupac had a net worth of about $200,000 when he died. Do the math what do you think the record companies kept after they paid Mama Shakur? Don't let them fool you, after a Young Thug or Lil Baby is dead the next version of them is already waiting in the cut, it's a rinse and repeat cycle.
PLEASE don't put death on Lil Baby!

I think what people are saying is, these records companies are only giving money to ignorant street thugs who rap, commit murder or other crimes. Shoot an opp, make a song about it and your getting a deal. The drill music is so wack, everyone is replaceable. Microwave music. But you need bodies and other stupid shit to get hot in the hood and then your on... Murdering black people is cool but don't disrespect Jews, the holocaust and other shit. If you do, you went too far...smh

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 :dunno:

is easier to blame the system/white supremacy than take personal responsibility as individuals
never once in my life did I ever think I couldn't do something because of "the system"
of course I know its present and by design to stop our collective progress
I just think its a loser mentality to believe that is a reason I couldn't accomplish something

In your life..that doesn't apply the the whole group just YOU. Believe it or not there are real barriers to other black people that you were luckily not to have experience.

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 only rugged individualism I see is the rapping gang members killing each other who you conveniently excuse by blaming the "system" for their actions.

I don't need bootstraps or wealth to not arrange a murder.

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.
You're absolutely right! As black people we must be accountable for our actions, words, and decisions. I agree 100%.

Yet this speaks to a much larger issue. Young Thug rapped about his environment and condition before he got millions, then he's supposed to turn off a way of life that has been all he knows? And he's supposed to do it overnight?

The broader scope is that there are whole industries that benefit from "black survival mode".

The super guy too
I have that cac on ignore so I don’t see his bullshit. Cac always gives himself away too by referring to Black Americans as you or the government as “your government “ like he doesn’t live here. Then again this the same troll who claims to be from Red Hook Brooklyn but said Sunset Park has a large Black area

How long has Young Thug been in the game and how long has he been out the hood? There is no way you can cry about the conditions you grew up in, circumstances you had to face, etc....
Then turn around and get up out the hood and willingly continue to live as if you are still in the hood. Here's the truth and what too many refuse to understand. Everybody aint meant to continue on your journey with you. If you really trying to get away from the negative lifestyle and progress. You got to cut mutherfuckers off.
You have take responsibility for your words, actions, and the company you keep.

Why you giving out Kenny full government? Wtf?

No Andy the record label isn't liable. They signed him for his music cause people bought the music.

That is like saying Hertz is responsible because they rented the car.

Smith and Wesson made the gun so they reasonable?

His momma and daddy made him so they reasonable?

Or when is a grown ass MAN gonna be held responsible for his own actions?


This is the loudest post in this thread and it went over everyone’s head. One of my boys is a well known bodyguard for these dudes. He was paid not by Thugger but by the record label to make sure Thugger didn’t get in trouble while recording a album. Most people might not know who Kenneth Montgomery Esq. is, he is a former NY DA now defense attorney from NY looking at a Georgia case. Since they talking RICO they might aswell Holla at them record companies who financed the activities that these kids/grown men participated in. It’s gonna be interesting if we see Thugger on the stand pulling a Nino Brown.

That’s why I always liked Rich Homie Quan music better. Quan always seemed more sensible than Thugger.
