Talkback Tuesday : Has Rap Music Destroyed Black Love ?

All across the country, young teens are listening to rap music. Music that glorifies
misogynistic behavior, boasts about pimping, and advocates violent. All of which has related to an atmosphere that destroys black love. To identify oneself as a pimp or a thug is self destructive.

Behind any successful relationship is respect and compassion. The hip hop nation has implied that those characteristics are weak. Therefore, we don’t use them to measure the true strength of a man. We have been duped, hoodwinked, and lead astray. The difference is, this time it’s not a white man who did it, but our own rap culture. So to bring back black love, rappers have to change their message from pimping and thug life to respect, and love.

Like the late and great 2pac once said, “Ladies I know we beat you down a lot.”
So I think it’s time for us to be real with our women, to heal our women, and to kill for our women ! If things don’t change, “we will have a race of babies that will hate the ladies that make the babies”, that will result in a lost and misguided race.

Many young teens are not able to recognize what’s fake and what’s not. So by advocating shameful and demeaning lyrics, calling our women bitches and ho’s, has created a culture that degrades women. We even have female rappers making disrespectful comments about themselves. Lyrics that disrespect, over time, creates a self loathing mindset that subconsciously dictate our behavior. Many Rappers don’t get how destructive their music can be.

Materialistic, misogynistic, or gangsta lyrics creates a stereotype that the world begin to believe and act out, subconsciously controlling the community’s action through music,
like Hitler did whenever his army went off to war.



So has the hip hop nation destroyed the structure of the black family? Are we are losing this generation and is rap music the cause? If you listen to some of the lyrics, you might agree. The hip hop nation has failed to use its position to empower and up lift its community. So it’s up to the real hip hop artists, like 2Pac, who said, “Death is the not greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside while we are
still alive”. We should never surrender the fight to improve black love.
