WHEN BLACKS WERE MAKING SONGS ABOUT BEING YOUNG GIFTED AND BLACK AND BEING EMPOWERING TO OUR FUTURE.
WHITE AMERICA TOOK CONTROL OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.
WHITE AMERICA STOPPED IT.
WHITE AMERICA BOUGHT THEM OUT.
WHITE AMERICA REPLACED THE SONGS THAT UPLFITED, ENCOURGED, UNIFIED, INSTRUCTED, DIRECTED AND EMPOWERED US WITH SONGS THAT DEMEAN, DEGRADE, AND DEHUMANIZED US.
WE WENT FROM KNOWING WHO WERE WERE, BEING PROUD OF WHO WE WERE, UNDERSTANDING OUR CULTURE TO THE ENEMY ASSURING OUR FUTURE THAT THEY DON’T HAVE THE SAME LOVE OF LEARNING, READING, CHANGING AND UNIFYING AMONGST US.
WHITE AMERICA KNEW THE POWER OF MUSIC FOR US AFRICAN AMERICANS.
WHITE FOLKS SWOOPED DOWN AND PAID POOR BLACK LYRACISTS HEFTY MONEY AND PENNED HEFTY CHECKS FOR THEM TO CONTINUE SPEAKING DEATH, DARKNESS AND DESPAIR TO OUR FUTURE.
YET, SOMEHOW YOUNG THUG IS TO BLAME DUE TO HIS LYRICS?
I SWEAR THIS COUNTRY IS ONE BIG ASS CRIME SCENE, A DAMN LIAR AND JOKE.
