This song goes beyond simple rap music, Ice Cube details exactly how today, in American culture, media has co opted rap music as a scapegoat to avoid talking about the actual problems. They simply blame it on the easiest, most outspoken medium.
With the release of Grand Theft Auto V, and the recent Navy yard shooting (and subsequent blame laid by the media at video games), this issue has come to light... again...
Forgive me for getting political in the rap & hip hop thread, but I was wondering what you guys thought of this type of stuff? What does your circle of people think of it?
Thanks again for keeping this thread what it's meant to be about, thanks again for enjoying the shit real artists put out, coming across random stuff with this much meaning and connection honestly gives me some positive shit to not kill myself when life looks so goddamn bleak sometimes.. We're not in this shit alone.. Keep it coming...
