@@GunsNStuff I believe you mean gangsta rap is, which is a sub genre of hip hop the same way black metal is a sub genre of rock n roll. Let’s not be simple minded and categorize the entire genre as poison because hip hop started as generally a very positive movement that promoted peace, love and having fun. The earliest hip hop records were basically party records for the most part and during the golden age, the vast majority of the genres stars had a message they were delivering through the music. It wasn’t until the labels co opted the culture and realized they could make a killing selling death, sex, drugs and destruction that the face of hip hop changed. And even today, there are plenty of hip hop artists delivering powerful messages in their songs, you just have to dig for them and you won’t find them in the mainstream with the exception of artists like J Cole and Kendrick Lamar.

It’s funny because I remember when I was a kid, they said this. That it was messing up the mindset of the kids in the suburbs. That’s when they added the warning on cassettes and CDs. As kids we didnt know any better. As an adult, I totally get it.
I Remember that. At the time I thought it was ridiculous to even consider that music could have that effects on someone but now that I'm in my 40sand have seen and experienced it firsthand my mind has changed. Becoming a Christian also woke me up to that fact. It's sad to see so many people being influenced by evil and live hard lives because they don't even realize they are being influenced.
Came to this country at 13 years old, starting listening and watching to rap music/videos on MTV2, I started sagging and thanked God my grandpa grabbed my wrist on my way out of the house to school, squeezed it and said “don’t comeback to this house until you leave that sagging shittt out of this house because you we don’t do that here.” I walked out still sagging but I put my pants up because I told “myself wtf are you doing mimicking others?” Never sagged again.
Good on ya... It goes to show blacks were coming up fast and doing well and I grew up in the 70s and 80s and watched a lot of 'black shows' and didn't give it a second thought... The fact we have stopped progressing and reversed progress in so many ways since the 60s and then kicked them down since Obama even further is mind-blowing. If B America wakes up, watch out!!
My kids are younger, and they comment to me how Christian music makes them feel happy/good and the few regular radio songs plays every once in a while, bother their hearts. Songs that I never really listened to the lyrics. It makes me realize how easy it is to get desensitized to bad music. That it affects us so much and longer than just the moment of listening.
@@ChristopherDwiggins haha, you sound like one of those crystal energy people that would wear one of those bracelets with a few crumbs of radioactive uranium ore and sit next to their himalaya salt lamp before bed to ward off the bad voodoo frequencies accumulated throughout the day there's no frequencies messing with your cell nucleus or whatever the heck.. it's just music with horrible topics that people shouldn't really be listening to. the same way you probably shouldn't watch horror movies about serial killers and murderers and people being killed in terrible ways. the same way you probably shouldn't smoke or get drunk or shove big macs down your throat. these things aren't going to mind-control you and kill you if you're otherwise from a good honest hard-working family that raised you properly. you're eventually just going to grow up out of that little teenager phase and think back and "wow, that was pretty silly of me, i better listen to nice and happy and positive things instead and have a healthy and more balanced lifestyle" and that's pretty much it for 99% of the people out there. the kids in the ghetto that do get influenced by this kind of stuff had other much bigger issues to begin with like actual lowlife gang members and shootings outside their window. the rap singers were just the cherry on top. like you said, doing the right thing for your child when they're young and raising them well in a good environment is going to play a much larger role than whatever they may come across later on. if they were raised properly, they'll eventually snap out of those little trends or even avoid them altogether depending on the specifics. that's the only control that you really have, because there's no way to rid the world of all of the bad stuff that exists out there. it's a losing battle, you're never even going to get everyone to see eye to eye on the subject. so yeah, people just need to take some responsibility for themselves and stop with the frequencies and voodoo and that kind of stuff and just raise their kids properly.
First, I have to say, this is perhaps my favorite clip you have done! I'm a couple of months away from turning 63 y/o. Single, white, female. Six kids; five boys, one daughter. Divorced from their father who later passed away. I raised my kids on my own, so also a single mother. I now have 21 grandchildren. I grew up in Southern California, Riverside, with very strict parents and was dangerously sheltered. It wasn't until the late 90's after my divorce, that I began to listen to and approve for my oldest four sons to listen to, *_Gangsta Rap_* I loved *everything* about it! ICE CUBE is my absolute favorite and I've been fortunate enough to see him in concert, four times, standing at the gate in the pit! The younger kids, so impressed by my ability to rap along with every lyric. In one show, the only tracks the kids knew the lyrics to were from the album Cube was touring for "Laugh Now, Cry Later", and I could C walk! Gangsta Granny, many of them shouted to me. Weirdly, I was proud of that! But, I got it. I got the stories they were telling. Not on a personal level but from where I grew up, having a baby brother who is Black, witnessing what he went through and how differently HE was treated, even by my racist, bigoted, step-father. Those younger years for him, were unbearable for me to watch. In 1980 I had moved to Utah with my new husband. After the divorce and his death, my younger siblings started to slowly, one by one, follow me. In the mid 90's both of my brothers were caught up in drugs, distribution of drugs, weapons, and other criminal felonies. They both ended up getting caught having committed a "home invasion robbery" that wasn't. That story is too long to tell here. Along with four other individuals, they all plead not guilty and I watched a highly biased trial in a very white, Utah County Court. My brothers were charged with the exact same crimes. Word for word, statute by statute. Both were found guilty. Both were sentenced to 5-life. BUT, there was one difference. But it was an eye-opening, yet shockingly obvious, difference. My white brother would be eligible for parole after 5 years. My Black, baby brother, wasn't eligible for parole until after serving 6 years. Even though I knew, from listening to Rap/Hip Hop, and understood, the best way that a white person could, that there was absolutely some sort of code in LE be it on individual levels or the entire system in whichever community you lived in. But now, once again, I was a witness to it, first hand, personal experiences. I will always love and appreciate what I call, "old School Rap and Hip Hop, because THAT means something, even to me! Sorry for this long tale. There's so much more to the story(ies) that people often tell me I should write a damn book! But for now, I'll just leave this here for anyone with the patience to read it. And if you do, THANK YOU! Now, I'm going to go get my first cup of coffee of the day! God bless! 🙏🏼
@@KAS1JM Thank you for asking. One of them took his life in 2014. My baby brother, my Black brother, is finally doing well. He's running his own business now and has become a stable, competent, respected, member of society.
As a white kid who grew up in the suburbs of Florida, coming of age at the millennium, it wasn’t until college I realized how the words in gansta rap perpetuated a negative thought pattern, and chose to turn it off. I did have a bad ass 1972 Cutlass Supreme though.
That Cutlass you had predated Rap Music. And I had a Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, too, that took off like a rocket when you hit the accelerator. I also had a 1972 Ford Torino that I bought 2nd hand that had been custom ordered with a 3 speed manual transmission with the shift on the column. I often wonder what that particular car would be worth today, given its rarity? Back in the early days, I also had a Rambler, and a Dodge Dart with the classic slant six engine, very popular in its day, and the list goes on. But when it comes down to it, my favorite car was my 2000 Saturn. I drove that car for 19 years, and I would probably still be driving it today, had my son not wrecked it. But getting back on topic, and being a boomer, I never got into Rap Music much, but I must say Tom McDonald has grabbed my attention a time or two with his RAP style. His song, "Dirty Money" hits the nail on the head. You should give it a listen. The lyrics ring with the truth.
Yeah everybody was not turned out by that Violent Rap Crap! I hated it , and never brought into it, Ice Cube and the rest of Clown As Rap Crappers sold many a Black Communities out! As far as iam concerned their A should be in Jail!

@@kaptainkush4351 I’ve experienced similar albeit for a shorter duration on account of my age. I love our so-called “black” brothers and have tried to expose the false culture that was thrust upon them all the way back to the end of slavery. Booker T.

The world is a cold place.

@KenrailJackson-xw5pe You for real?? Just going to chalk your comment up as ignorance. Research. Some of the most famous violinists in the world came from poverty and very poor/rough upbringing.

Gangster rap had us doing abominable things when I was a kid, I’m a youth pastor now. But when I was a kid, I learned how to actualize a lot of my social inhibitions.
Valuetainment has really opened the eyes of many on a vast array of important topics. I am grateful to PBD and crew. Roland is a humble and dedicated man. Kudos! All Glory to God!
His comment on what the effects on the suburbs reminds me of a good friend of mine who grew up in Jersey and was in a gang when he was younger. He left that and moved to the south. One of his sons dressed like a "thug". He told his son to change because he didn't know what "thug" was. That he didn't live in the getto that he lived next to "Martha Stewart". I was in tears laughing at the way he was telling the story. 😂
The 3 biggest rapper today are on conscious, it’s hard to say how much of an influence gangster rap had. Could easily make the point, it was a reaction to what’s happening in the community
Democrats are against parents rights , school choice , anything that might improve the black community . I will never forget when Obama got elected a poor Blackwater women said “I’m going to get a new car “ Obama’s camp was down here in Florida picking up poor blacks registering them to vote feeding them lunch and making promises .

Prof. Fryer is remarkable. Thank you for having him on. He's so on point for bringing up mental health of police officers. The public has no clue what they go through on a daily basis too; they could be called into a life/death situation at any moment.
PBD quoting Bone Thugs "Mo Murda" made my day…..I grew up on some of these rappers but I was aware enough to recognize that it’s just entertainment the same as the other forms of music and movies
I used to ride along with my brother, who was an patrol officer in Little Rock in the 90's. The movie The Gangs of Little Rock depicts that time period well.
Much Love to PBD for being able to recite our lyrics👍🏾 Hopefully we’ve made a positive impact on our fans🙏🏾 I know for sure they don’t smoke Bammer Weed😁👍🏾
they took great black culture .. with deep religious conviction , hardwork , family . into bucnh of angry gangsters and shallow women .. in my african brothers and sisters ..
I tried to discourage a younger cousin from listening to Rap in the early 80s. He defended it as addressing 'relevant social issues.' Not that he would know, he was a small town boy.
Once the started shooting one and other I gave up on rap. No surprise its the soundtrack of prisons, jails, homeless shelters, bus stops, detention halls, and welfare offices everywhere.
Unfortunately the white collared ones get taxpayer money and a pat on the back, and sent back out to continue their anti-social, sociopathic behaviors.
PBD, Nothing to do with this video but, I have to say something about Chris Cuomo coming to your team. Bad, bad idea sir. He has not learned a damn thing from all his years of missing the mark. How do you think he is going to meld with your team. He is by far NOT a team player. He's a loner who cares about one thing... himself.
@@rasul407 Doesn't matter Chris Cuomo is bad news. It's not about diversity, too many people hate this guy. If he shows as a regular, I'll find other outlets to get my news.

I applaud your efforts. This is intellectual muscle at it's finest as far as I'm concerned... WELL DONE - Keep it up !
Wow... RBL Posse. Surprised to hear them mentioned. Used to listen to that music when I was a kid.. then I got stoned one day and it hit me like a ton of bricks how evil and destructive those words were to me and my peers' minds and couldn't bring myself to listen to rap any longer. I was 15 then... 44 years old now. It blows me away, especially in this "woke" society we find ourselves in, that these "musicians" from then are still put on a pedestal to this day and have received essentially zero blowback, considering all of the garbage they pedaled and all of the young minds they corrupted
More people need to not fear the unsafe feeling and speak up!! It is what it is, and if we ever want to see the light on the other side, you must stand up!

Arguments about recidivism ignore that most of it is related to parolees having stricter rules to live by and/or drug addiction. If all Americans had their urine analyzed, had cerfews, to report a a parole officer weekly, etc, then they would be getting locked up at high rates also. Often times parolees get locked foe violations when they did nothing but have an interaction with law enforcement for walking down the sidewalk. If the arrest is connected to their original crime -- meaning being on parole means you still haven't served your time, then any violation or crime caught because of parole or probation rules isn't "recidivism."
Very interesting, back in the 90's I was a criminal justice major In one of my first books, each chapter was written was based on a psychologist (possibly a psychiatrist in criminal psychology) Each chapter, or each of their stories were so profound in a very negative way. , I've been trying to find it again... Hopefully I will and share it just in case someone else can read it. These true stories on the LAPD were horrific at best, yet brought these conversations between inmates and psych were very sobering It turned me away from that field
People ran to realize that the artist once they sign the label contract, have zero control over the lyrics or the music. They are basically just like newscasters they are put out there to play a particular role to have a particular image, and that’s it writers come in who produce the lyrics writers come in who produce the music, and you are to stand like a puppet and repeat what you are told to repeat. Even their interviews are censored and written by their PR companies, they have zero say in their art their way they dress even any information they put out there on social media. All of it is totally 100%. Controlled
I just recently saw a video about Prince and how he was constantly battling for his independence. It made him so disillusioned that he stated that had he had known how the music industry truly operated he would had chosen a different career instead.
It's strange to me when people say they've been studying a topic for a very long time and they're presented with basic Common Sense information and they act like they've never heard it before

How if he was part of it? He said f the police and now he plays cops in movies. Hes an agent
I was always a light fan and was talking about what he’s saying now on the music industry back in 2020. I could see it for what it was. Glad he’s confirming what I said and I love calling it.
They are giving the credit to the wrong person. Krayzie bone spoke up first! Something i might add though, ice cube is a full on liberal though, i am talking joe biden supporter liberal, like taylor swift and even eminem.
It’s funny because I remember when I was a kid, they said this. That it was messing up the mindset of the kids in the suburbs. That’s when they added the warning on cassettes and CDs. As kids we didnt know any better. As an adult, I totally get it.
Tipper Gore with her Parental Guidance label sure did work 🤔
I Remember that. At the time I thought it was ridiculous to even consider that music could have that effects on someone but now that I'm in my 40sand have seen and experienced it firsthand my mind has changed. Becoming a Christian also woke me up to that fact. It's sad to see so many people being influenced by evil and live hard lives because they don't even realize they are being influenced.

Came to this country at 13 years old, starting listening and watching to rap music/videos on MTV2, I started sagging and thanked God my grandpa grabbed my wrist on my way out of the house to school, squeezed it and said “don’t comeback to this house until you leave that sagging shittt out of this house because you we don’t do that here.” I walked out still sagging but I put my pants up because I told “myself wtf are you doing mimicking others?” Never sagged again.
Good grandpa
If you knew what sagging meant in the prisons, you wouldn't do it again.

The fact we have stopped progressing and reversed progress in so many ways since the 60s and then kicked them down since Obama even further is mind-blowing. If B America wakes up, watch out!!

@@ChristopherDwiggins The said the same shit about rock and roll
@@ChristopherDwiggins haha, you sound like one of those crystal energy people that would wear one of those bracelets with a few crumbs of radioactive uranium ore and sit next to their himalaya salt lamp before bed to ward off the bad voodoo frequencies accumulated throughout the day
there's no frequencies messing with your cell nucleus or whatever the heck.. it's just music with horrible topics that people shouldn't really be listening to. the same way you probably shouldn't watch horror movies about serial killers and murderers and people being killed in terrible ways. the same way you probably shouldn't smoke or get drunk or shove big macs down your throat.
these things aren't going to mind-control you and kill you if you're otherwise from a good honest hard-working family that raised you properly. you're eventually just going to grow up out of that little teenager phase and think back and "wow, that was pretty silly of me, i better listen to nice and happy and positive things instead and have a healthy and more balanced lifestyle" and that's pretty much it for 99% of the people out there. the kids in the ghetto that do get influenced by this kind of stuff had other much bigger issues to begin with like actual lowlife gang members and shootings outside their window. the rap singers were just the cherry on top.
like you said, doing the right thing for your child when they're young and raising them well in a good environment is going to play a much larger role than whatever they may come across later on. if they were raised properly, they'll eventually snap out of those little trends or even avoid them altogether depending on the specifics. that's the only control that you really have, because there's no way to rid the world of all of the bad stuff that exists out there. it's a losing battle, you're never even going to get everyone to see eye to eye on the subject.
so yeah, people just need to take some responsibility for themselves and stop with the frequencies and voodoo and that kind of stuff and just raise their kids properly.
First, I have to say, this is perhaps my favorite clip you have done!
I'm a couple of months away from turning 63 y/o. Single, white, female. Six kids; five boys, one daughter. Divorced from their father who later passed away. I raised my kids on my own, so also a single mother. I now have 21 grandchildren. I grew up in Southern California, Riverside, with very strict parents and was dangerously sheltered.
It wasn't until the late 90's after my divorce, that I began to listen to and approve for my oldest four sons to listen to, *_Gangsta Rap_* I loved *everything* about it! ICE CUBE is my absolute favorite and I've been fortunate enough to see him in concert, four times, standing at the gate in the pit! The younger kids, so impressed by my ability to rap along with every lyric. In one show, the only tracks the kids knew the lyrics to were from the album Cube was touring for "Laugh Now, Cry Later", and I could C walk! Gangsta Granny, many of them shouted to me. Weirdly, I was proud of that!
But, I got it. I got the stories they were telling. Not on a personal level but from where I grew up, having a baby brother who is Black, witnessing what he went through and how differently HE was treated, even by my racist, bigoted, step-father. Those younger years for him, were unbearable for me to watch.
In 1980 I had moved to Utah with my new husband. After the divorce and his death, my younger siblings started to slowly, one by one, follow me. In the mid 90's both of my brothers were caught up in drugs, distribution of drugs, weapons, and other criminal felonies. They both ended up getting caught having committed a "home invasion robbery" that wasn't. That story is too long to tell here. Along with four other individuals, they all plead not guilty and I watched a highly biased trial in a very white, Utah County Court. My brothers were charged with the exact same crimes. Word for word, statute by statute. Both were found guilty. Both were sentenced to 5-life. BUT, there was one difference. But it was an eye-opening, yet shockingly obvious, difference. My white brother would be eligible for parole after 5 years. My Black, baby brother, wasn't eligible for parole until after serving 6 years. Even though I knew, from listening to Rap/Hip Hop, and understood, the best way that a white person could, that there was absolutely some sort of code in LE be it on individual levels or the entire system in whichever community you lived in. But now, once again, I was a witness to it, first hand, personal experiences. I will always love and appreciate what I call, "old School Rap and Hip Hop, because THAT means something, even to me!
Sorry for this long tale. There's so much more to the story(ies) that people often tell me I should write a damn book! But for now, I'll just leave this here for anyone with the patience to read it. And if you do, THANK YOU!
Now, I'm going to go get my first cup of coffee of the day!
God bless! 🙏🏼
Thanks for your share 🙏🏾🙏🏾
How are those little bros now?

Not at all!!
"Mo' Murda Mo' Murda!"
Definitely unexpected.
As a white kid who grew up in the suburbs of Florida, coming of age at the millennium, it wasn’t until college I realized how the words in gansta rap perpetuated a negative thought pattern, and chose to turn it off. I did have a bad ass 1972 Cutlass Supreme though.
With chrome dubs? 😁
That Cutlass you had predated Rap Music. And I had a Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, too, that took off like a rocket when you hit the accelerator. I also had a 1972 Ford Torino that I bought 2nd hand that had been custom ordered with a 3 speed manual transmission with the shift on the column. I often wonder what that particular car would be worth today, given its rarity? Back in the early days, I also had a Rambler, and a Dodge Dart with the classic slant six engine, very popular in its day, and the list goes on. But when it comes down to it, my favorite car was my 2000 Saturn. I drove that car for 19 years, and I would probably still be driving it today, had my son not wrecked it. But getting back on topic, and being a boomer, I never got into Rap Music much, but I must say Tom McDonald has grabbed my attention a time or two with his RAP style. His song, "Dirty Money" hits the nail on the head. You should give it a listen. The lyrics ring with the truth.
I had one too 1st new car I bought close to 4K what do you buy today with 4K?? Yup the car was fast as well
Yeah everybody was not turned out by that Violent Rap Crap! I hated it , and never brought into it, Ice Cube and the rest of Clown As Rap Crappers sold many a Black Communities out! As far as iam concerned their A should be in Jail!

His comment on what the effects on the suburbs reminds me of a good friend of mine who grew up in Jersey and was in a gang when he was younger. He left that and moved to the south. One of his sons dressed like a "thug". He told his son to change because he didn't know what "thug" was. That he didn't live in the getto that he lived next to "Martha Stewart".

Shout out System of a Down prison song. Speaking on it 20 years ago.

Once the started shooting one and other I gave up on rap. No surprise its the soundtrack of prisons, jails, homeless shelters, bus stops, detention halls, and welfare offices everywhere.

Evil is real. We need prison.
I agree but we don’t need the prison industrial complex who’s locks up many for years over bs. How many DAs or judges are bought and paid for?

I was 15 then... 44 years old now. It blows me away, especially in this "woke" society we find ourselves in, that these "musicians" from then are still put on a pedestal to this day and have received essentially zero blowback, considering all of the garbage they pedaled and all of the young minds they corrupted

Arguments about recidivism ignore that most of it is related to parolees having stricter rules to live by and/or drug addiction.
If all Americans had their urine analyzed, had cerfews, to report a a parole officer weekly, etc, then they would be getting locked up at high rates also. Often times parolees get locked foe violations when they did nothing but have an interaction with law enforcement for walking down the sidewalk. If the arrest is connected to their original crime -- meaning being on parole means you still haven't served your time, then any violation or crime caught because of parole or probation rules isn't "recidivism."

Very interesting, back in the 90's I was a criminal justice major
In one of my first books, each chapter was written was based on a psychologist (possibly a psychiatrist in criminal psychology)
Each chapter, or each of their stories were so profound in a very negative way.
, I've been trying to find it again... Hopefully I will and share it just in case someone else can read it.
These true stories on the LAPD were horrific at best, yet brought these conversations between inmates and psych were very sobering
It turned me away from that field
People ran to realize that the artist once they sign the label contract, have zero control over the lyrics or the music. They are basically just like newscasters they are put out there to play a particular role to have a particular image, and that’s it writers come in who produce the lyrics writers come in who produce the music, and you are to stand like a puppet and repeat what you are told to repeat. Even their interviews are censored and written by their PR companies, they have zero say in their art their way they dress even any information they put out there on social media. All of it is totally 100%. Controlled
I just recently saw a video about Prince and how he was constantly battling for his independence. It made him so disillusioned that he stated that had he had known how the music industry truly operated he would had chosen a different career instead.
It's strange to me when people say they've been studying a topic for a very long time and they're presented with basic Common Sense information and they act like they've never heard it before
