Eric Adams urges social media to ban ‘drill’ rap videos for promoting violence
NY Post ^ | 2-11-22 | Carl Campanile and Elizabeth Rosner

Mayor Eric Adams on Friday urged social media firms to ban “drill” rap videos that glorify and promote violence.

The mayor’s plea came a day after he gave an emotional speech about the life and death of 18-year-old drill rapper Jayquan McKenley, aka Chii Wvttz, who was gunned down in Bedford-Stuyvesant last Sunday.

Adams said he was not familiar with drill rapping — which tends to have dark, violent themes, often including killing with semiautomatic weapons — until he spoke to his son, Jordan Coleman, who works at Jay-Z’s Roc-Nation.

“I had no idea what drill rapping was. My son sent me videos. It was alarming,” he said.

Adams said he wants to meet with social media companies and tell them to take drill rap videos off their platforms.

“You have a civic and corporate responsibility,” he said.

Every time I see this guy, he’s saying Gun violence, Gun ….

So, he doesn’t realize the cities with the most strident Gun Control have the highest Crime?

He’s a fraud.

Name one black Democrat mayor, past or present, where the city that they run actually improves?

Maybe there is one, but I can't name one.

As soon as I saw him meet with Hawk whatever-his-name-is from BLM to "discuss" policing, that was the nail in the coffin.

“Gun” must be the Ebonics word for “black.” I’m pretty sure that’s the case, because sometimes they put extra emphasis on it by using the English and Ebonics words at the same time, “black gun.”

Well, there goes the Super Bowl Halftime show! The righteous fans will turn off the Halftime Show and watch re-runs of Father Knows Best. Let’s join them!

Who does that mayor think he is? To criticize drill rapping.

As far as I’m concerned it’s just another ordinary part of the black subculture that has infested America. And as such should be glorified and exonerated. Why not have drill rappers do the Super Bowl halftime show?

Could they be any worse than the “F The Police” ass clowns they’re going to have tomorrow?

Adams is an IDIOT. Chii was simply doing what’s necessary to earn street cred, as without it, he’s just another ‘aspiring’ wrap artist, with NOTHING new to offer. Now his career will SKYROCKET.

These rappers put out filthy, disgusting, violent "music"...and no one says nothing.

All of a sudden, the mayor of NY discovers maybe some rapping is bad. It's been going on for years. Who is he kidding.

Well, that is racist! /s

Sorry, cannot name one. Hm. The problem is not skin color - it is that they are all liberal, lefties Democrats. Therein lies the problem. They have absolutely no clue as to how to solve a problem except to throw money at it. It is all about feeling better. Pathetic.

I cannot turn off the halftime show, because I am not going to turn on the Super Bowl for even a nanosecond. All conservatives should boycott this game just because of who the “entertainment” will be at halftime. Talk about a bunch of sickos - the NFL executives AND the performers.

Eric Adam’s = Stacy Abrams in male drag , but without the keen intelligence, the modesty, the willingness to accept reality and above all the intense fiscal responsibility of Abrams.
