Reply to comment by VoodooVedal in TIL that in the early 80s, Dr. Dre was a successful electro DJ with his group World Class Wreckin' Cru. Daft Punk mentions Dre in their song “Teachers,” about artists that influenced them by avec_serif
-"You're really not getting the point here at all..."
No you're not getting it and it seems intentional at this point.
-"Gangster rap is black music and you're judging it's moral implications more harshly than you do white music."
Rap music is black, but all black music is not gangster rap.
I in no way judged "Black music" and never even mentioned any other music. How did I compare something I never mentioned?
You added "white music" and you are unfairly lumping all black music in with gangster rap.

Okay, so you're obviously are rather just arguing with whatever, or else really ignorant. So I'm gonna stop trying to teach you about this now

I'm nearly 50 and have been listening to music since before gangster rap existed.
I bought Straight out of Compton,day 1 on cassette. I listened to Digital Underground when Tupac was still a back up dancer. I saw Public Enemy and Anthrax live.
To this day I listen to 32days worth of streaming music alone each year.
What in the fuck do you think you're teaching me about this topic?
Fact: Dre took an opportunity sell self hate to the black community via the music industry and gangster rap. He himself was exploited into doing so. It began a destructive trend of selling luxury products and a violent lifestyle to impressionable and often poor people and packed the for profit prison system.
Aka: Pipeline to prison. (Look it up and learn.)
Why is this hard for you to comprehend? Why are you trying to make it seem like I'm criticising all black music and a culture that I have loved and respected my entire life?
To be clear: You back out of a civil discussion because you have nothing to offer, not because I'm ignorant...

Just because you're old doesn't mean you understand anything. You're obviously completely ignorant to the racist rhetoric that you share because you think you're special that you dont listen to modern hiphop. That's what I was trying to teach you, but now I can see your just a sour old sack who thinks he's right because he's spent so much time being ignorant and arrogant already
I've responded to each bullshit claim you've made so far, I back out because you're an ignorant fool who doesn't want to change his mind, even when he's faced with being wrong
Your points arent hard to comprehend, their logic is flawed. That's your problem. It's not that no ones listening to you, you're just wrong

Once again, idiot, I never said that I don't listen to modern hip hop. You just can't help but make shit up.
I know what I saw first hand. My interest is purely in support of the black community that is preyed upon by corporate opportunists with agendas.
Far from being racist. That's just what you wish my brown ass was because you can't understand someone caring about the people and not the music industry that claimes to represent them.
These are not new concepts and literally hundreds of hip hop artists and black leaders have said the same thing for decades.
It's painfully obvious that you don't know jack shit about this topic. Move on.

Very rich for you to talk about anyone not knowing shit when all you do is pull claims out of your ass and get angry when people tell you why they're wrong. Get over it and move on, you might end up better off after if you try to progress yourself instead of fighting to justify your mistakes
Your interests very obviously don't support the black community when you victim blame them and judge them more harshly than their white counterparts. You're a bullshitter who has no idea what you're talking about

How the fuck is blaming the music industry and their paid agents victim blaming?
No one compared black music to white music, unfairly or not, but you. It was never part of the discussion.

Yet again you fail to understand my point completely, and now I'm sick holding your hand through it like a child. Everything I need to say I've already said. If you have difficulty understanding that, read it again. If you want to cry about it more, I don't care so dont come to me with that shit.
