I am not trying to say there aren't people with valid experience. Some of it is a valid experience. However, making their lifestyle a commodity is something we should really take a look at. And let's not forget Most of these beefs are surge through very very toxic masculinity. Look at the video in the original page. When they were arguing on Instagram live. It was about who chase who. Who dominated who. Nobody wanted to look like a punk in front of others. We need to address it. Because just it is a valid experience doesn't mean we stop short after that argument.

my post was a response to what you said about how you couldn't be both a gangsta rapper and conscious, but someone responded before that so it might seem like it was unrelated.

Lizzo is actually really good at it, too

that's just dismissing people's experiences.

if you grow up with people willing to attack you due to where you live, have people you care about being assaulted and/or murdered, "inherit" the lifestyle (parents, siblings, uncles/aunts, etc. in gangs), etc., then your perspective about things is certainly going to be different than someone without those experiences.

plus, seeing the police also engage in illegal activity can affect how people regard the law.

so, if you're living in a dangerous, crime-driven environment, where there's no real sense of judgment, from your view, then how's that going to affect your personal views on so-called illegal activities?

violent, gangsta/street rap has been around since the late 80s/early 90s, and the rap that you said that you were into is still around.

a lot of the reason why it seems that one kind has more prominence than the other is because the violent stuff is, surprisingly, finding a lot of popularity on platforms like TikTok with the youth, and ends up getting played more often.

Cant one be an agnostic theist?

yea, I'm an agnostic-theist.

can you post a picture?

I personally don't feel that the art someone enjoys necessarily makes them more intelligent, as a number of things (conditioning, access, positive/negative reinforcement when considering that art, etc.) can go into why that person likes or dislikes it.

as far as rap goes, it's my favorite genre, but there's a bunch of stuff I can enjoy at "base" level, even if I miss out on some of the wordplay, cultural references, and so on; it could just sound good to me.

I remember hearing the extended version, as a kid, where the one dude raps about how shit his friend's mom's cooking was.

I'd never heard anything so scandalous in a song before.

I don't think the show glorifies him, but I do just find something distasteful about it. I think what pushed me over the edge was a clip posted on reddit where they were showing side-by-side comparison of one of the victims' family members breaking down in court and screaming at him.

That was just gross to me.

I think I saw an article from one of the victim's family members, where they said this series was "re-traumatizing" for them

You know I'm even more suspicious of TC's post now because the majority of those celebrities are black from that link...

iirc, Lipstick Alley is a predominantly black woman site/online community

I remember getting my mom to buy me the Dangerous Minds soundtrack due to how much I liked Gangsta's Paradise (who didn't back then)

RIP to him.

But thats why context matters. Just assuming something like it must mean QAnon is a big leap when all you see in the letter Q, which could stand for all sorts of things. But if they use context and maybe walk past them and look, theyd see Q from the show on the back. Even if they didnt know much about Star Trek, it should hopefully not look like QAnon anymore

yea, pretty much what I was going to say.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I'm just saying, at worst, this seems like ignorance on the designer's part, of either QANON and/or how the imagery might look. it's not some intentionally provocative statement (unless if they're a part of it, and trying to be slick).

as far as I know, the group doesn't use that language or have weird, priest looking guys as their iconography.

I feel like just how cool the murder mystery level is makes it worth it for that price.

used to sometimes watch reruns, as a kid.
