Maybe it's that white suburban kids are the market's driving force. Yup, black rappers' success is built on white kids. Ironic? Especially compaining about the social ills that the very same listeners frankly have little experience on. Don't blame the corporations (that's misguided). Blame the demand, it's requestin that supply.

That's agreed in some regard. If people weren't buying it, it wouldn't sell. The blind will "see" whatever you tell them to though. But yeah, Mac Dre was more of an example piece because of the ignorant kind of music he put out.

I have to say, this video is quite true, although I have 2 disagree on two parts, the corporation does take advantage of the listener, but it is the ignorant masses that can't listen to true hip hop, so they just want crappy party music. Also, corporations never promoted Mac Dre, but he did suck, and he didn't believe in the thug stuff that much. The rich just take advantage of the glorified ignorance in the minority community. I am not black, I am latino, but I love true hip hop.

You obviously didn't see him at the end of this video (5:41). I've been listenin' to Technique since I was 15 homie; he's what got me listenin' to the socio-political hip hop. But good lookin' on the recommendation.

hip hop aint dead yet i recommend you listen to IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE i was the same as you ready to convert to another music genre until i heard michael eric dyson made a strong reference to how we should support immortal technique. listen to 'dancing with the devil' 1st track that blew me away trust me when i say this youd find a new profound love and appreciation for hip hop listening to his music

It's "Halal Food" by Tru N Livin'. Second track is by Columbo Black.

One of the illest videos I have seen on youtube...excellent, truthful commentary. What's the artist/name of the first song? Sounds like hell razah or timbo king, or someone from sunz of man, the track is raw as hell

Thanks 3RDWORLD, great video. I think your argument is sound, I've often considered the state of hip-hop and who to blame, but the sad truth, I think, is consumers dictate what is popular in the marketplace. I mean, we can blame the record companies, the rappers, the "poison" industry, but if shoppers didn't buy the crap, then it wouldn't be for sale. This kind of bling-bling hip hop has been selling now for about 15 years. I too hope it fades away, and soon.

THANK YOU for this. I'm so sick of whitefolks taking and twisting our culture.

you're right..

why must it always be that whites are specifically involved with the poisoning of hip hop and that blacks are the subsequent victims of it. could it be that they have an equal hand in it, or at least both possible victims. you act as though whites who act that way are intentionally trying to dismantle the culture. and if you were talking specifically about the cracka ass execs, i wouldnt take it personally. music in general suffers from that, hip hop is no different. thats all im trying to say.
By: 3RDW0RLD. on 13 Jul 08, 17:05:30
The point of the video is to give a visual thesis of why and how hip hop is poisoned. And a large part of that is due to white people encouraging offensive and backwards ideologies in return for (comparitively) small money.
By: disciplinemisanthrop. on 13 Jul 08, 04:32:51
yes, and blaming white people for appropriating still takes away from i believe is the point of the video.
By: 3RDW0RLD. on 12 Jul 08, 00:03:49
I used a picture of an actual record exec, so I did my best.
By: disciplinemisanthrop. on 11 Jul 08, 08:23:58
your use of a random white guy as 'the man' makes alot of people miss the point of the video.
By: 3RDW0RLD. on 10 Jul 08, 03:05:58
Ha ha ha! Right. I love white people's defensive logic. If I speak about the injustices white people put forth, then I'm shifting the blame and making excuses. But when you cavemen blame "niggas" and "wetbacks" and the like for your's, it's all good.
By: disciplinemisanthrop. on 07 Jul 08, 03:31:19
it doesn't matter who he is, as long as it's a white guy to vent frustrations of your own failures towards.
By: 3RDW0RLD. on 16 Jun 08, 04:02:51
That's right, ghags.

If you look down through the comments, you'll see the song name.
By: neilstallings. on 16 Jun 08, 00:27:35
what is the name of that song that plays for the most part of the video? its incredible
By: neilstallings. on 16 Jun 08, 00:26:09
who sings that song during the most part of the video? its incredible
By: ghags. on 14 Jun 08, 03:14:43

By: 3RDW0RLD. on 09 Jun 08, 07:51:00
