  1.  @gommechops When 2Pac arrived it was all about killing, embracing the thug life, and seeing people getting shot. In the 1970’s, black music was about coming together, understanding, and being accepted as human beings rather than judged for their skin color.

  2.  @brokefangmagepunk3685 Radio dates far back to the 1930’s. Hollywood also had a handle on it from the likes of Jack Benny and Bob Hope. You’re going back to a century of manipulation.

  3.  @Steven9567  Did you bother to listen to their lyrics? Black rappers from the 90’s onwards largely victimized themselves. Part of the problem was the government.

  4.  @electraleigh I just finished watching Lucas (1986) with Corey Haim. Hollywood teens getting abused is nothing new. River Phoenix died of a drug overdose at age 23.

  5.  @CamerOneiric It’s been this way since the 1960’s. Times have changed, but most popular musicians make the same leftist talking points, to the point where I shut them off completely.

  6. An agenda WAS being played out. Black performers didn’t suddenly go from 1970’s soul, love and R&B to 2Pac style rapping without a motive behind it.

  7.  @halloweenville1  And the hilarious part was the UK had far less black people back then.

  8. The 1920’s were different. Radio was in its infancy. Exposure to jazz came from cities like New Orleans and New York.

  9. Only pop music I consume is oldschool stuff from Michael Jackson and the like.

  10. Old studio heads in the 1930’s and 1940’s used it.

  11. De La Soul was great.

  12. Sugarhill Gang and Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five were the real OGs of Rap. Colorful, fun, whimsical style rap music, but also with a dose of reality, as ‘The Message’ brought out. Rap today is soulless, has no feeling and no character.

  13. Big shock, I know.

  14. Just look at Whoopi Goldberg.

  15. They started the British Invasion…

  16. Hollywood has always been sick.

  17. They didn’t get enough love at home.

  18. Pop music died 30 years ago.

  19. Makes sense why 2Pac and Biggie were both killed.

  20. Simmons was always weird.

  21.  @vlada  He rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. I give credit for making others try to exercise more, but even back in the 80’s he was a weirdo cashing in.

  22.  @JohnQuilyQuinlan Rappers like 2Pac were already giving kids the wrong ideas. And he has been dead since 1996.

  23.  @akeithing1841  The best stuff you have to find to get.

  24.  @libertatemadvocatus1797 In other words, it’s not just Hollywood.

  25.  @vlada  It’s show business. It’s always been a shady, corrupt industry that most of us can only vision, because we don’t work behind the scenes.

  26. Hollywood was always Red. And politicians are generally paid to lie.

  27. Really? So you’re saying Eazy E and Dr Dre didn’t promote violence in the late 80’s, early 90’s?

  28.  @libertatemadvocatus1797 In other words, it wasn’t just Ethel and John Barrymore involved in a shady industry. Or the fact that Harry Cohn, head of Hollywood studio Columbia in his day, deliberately manipulated Rita Hayworth’s image in the 1940s to make her more appealing to American soldiers to use as a pinup.

  29.  @AmonAnon-vw3hr And it’s clear you never cared or liked his music at all…
