Early rap tended to be fun and carefree, and if there was a political or social message, it tended to be positive. As late as 1986 Doug E Fresh recorded a pro-life song titled “Abortion”. Later songs like “F&@k Da Police” and “Stop Snitching” did more damage to the black community in the last thirty years than any amount of statues or police misconduct.
I had young kids in the house, and I saw real problems
with it.
That anti abortion song sounds good, but that wasn’t the
leaning of the things I heard.
I thought it would last a while and be gone. WRONG!
Trash...
I agree with the damage it has done to the Black mindset,
particularly regarding women. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!
