Hip Hop Culture & Universal Stupidity: The Creation of a Dumbed Down World

I don't know very much about Hip Hop, but what is called "Hip Hop" these days is a far cry from what I was dancing to in high school (The Sugar Hill Gang, Grand Master Flash & the Furious Five, Kurtis Blow and Run DMC). However, Alan Watt and the the brother who called into the show certainly did provide food for thought:

Did you hear the long version of Rappers Delight--regarding 'super sperm' etc. That was the 1st rap song that made it to the top, using 'Good Times' by Chic, which came out only 6 months before. Most hip hop is anti-musician anyway.[now, at 30yrs later] I wasn't surprized that we are in the mess were in as a group in 2010--it happened back then; July 7, 2010 at 9:20 PM

Women stopped expecting men to be men because we started getting jobs that only men could get because we had legalized abortion. If women don't hold the 'standard', men wont follow it (i wish it wasnt so); July 7, 2010 at 9:23 PM
Anonymous said...: A long time ago, some of the R&B was a little raunchy,but people tamed it down. By the mid 50s, when Rock n Roll first hit big, there was a variety of music with lyrics that promoted romance which let to marriage. In the 60s, Motown came out and had many romantic songs by good songwriters. (when a man loves a woman) etc. but when the late 60s hit, rock which i think mostly came from England (Hendrix was there too) started getting weird, destroying instruments, etc. coupled with the sex revolution got us into what we have today, 40 yrs later. As he was saying, the early to mid 60s had a variety of music, R&B, country, pop, folk, etc until Woodstock madness. I think GOD is trying to shake us sane by having our economy get a little funny after a while. things happen in 40s; look in bible 40 years, 40 days, 40 weeks, etc. It's been a little over 40 yrs since woodstock; July 7, 2010 at 10:30 PM

You are right on time with these two expos.

Just yesterday I had to drive a friend of the family's college aged daughter to the airport in her car and then drive the vehicle back to my house until she returns. She left a CD in the car radio.

UNBELIEVABLE THE LYRICS.

Sadly this beautiful young girl from a solid family, on her way to Medical school had a "Mix CD" that was straight up ignorant and disrespectful to all women.

I am not an old man. Admittedly - give me some hip hop from the 80's or 90's and I will likely play it. Some of these songs, though risque were done by certain talented individuals. The garbage that I heard had no redeeming value at all.

Second I have "helped a brother out" on 3 occasions over the past year in which a rapper is out on the street selling his home made CD's for $5. NO MORE WILL I PURCHASE THIS CRAP!!!!

Its like these three guys who live on different sides of town are programmed by a common body. Same ignorant, violence threatening, materialistic lyrics. NO value but to genuflect.

If the Black Community doesn't take an active stand against "Hip Hop Voice Of The Street Pirate" it will prove that we are not serious.; July 8, 2010 at 1:08 AM

Unknown said...: Is hate envy in the hiphop thinking? This is in contrast to inerethnic hate of bigotry or international hate? Hatin is class envy,correct? The closer the people to ourselves,rather than anybody else afar,hatein is hatin our own, for reasons of class resentment of SocialSuccess,correct?; December 11, 2012 at 11:16 AM

About

Don't let the title of this blog deceive you. Yes, I'm a Conservative Black Woman -- Not to be confused with Republican Black Woman. At this point I am in fact a Political Atheist. I believe with every fiber of my being that America is no longer a Constitutional Republic but rather a Corporate Fascist Oligarchy. Our Presidents are just the puppets, tools, spokespersons for the Powers that Be...Council of Foreign Relations and various other NGO's who are beholden to the International Banking Cabal. No, I'm not a Conspiracy Theorist -- I am a Conspiracy Researcher and I'd advise you to do the same. Who said "I would not have you ignorant?" Yes, that's my "handler" for all of those who think I have one. Over the course of writing this blog. My paradigm has shifted ENTIRELY. Yes, the paragraph below still applies but the Left\Right, Democrat\Republican head fake no longer applies to me. I WOKE UP!!!!

"I am fed up with what has happening within the black community. Too many of our families are broken, too many of us are morally degenerate and too many of us are willing to blame all of our pathology on slavery, George Bush, the Republican party or anything but our failures as Parents, Husbands, Wives and Christians."

My Favorite Quotations.....

Truth is scarcely found. But integrity and truth are hardly found within the Black population as a whole at least not where it involves black people. Most blacks have pledged allegiance to their blackness, not truth, not to America, not even to God as many profess. Integrity and truth has to go out the window if it somehow poses a threat to the "positive" image of blackness. ~Anonymous

Regarding Obama's hit on Gadhafi's family: "He's spineless and shameless, except when his masters unleash him on people of color. Then he becomes a pit bull--a real life Sambo/Quimbo doing the dirty work of Simon Legree. TPTB knew exactly what they were doing when they "selected" Obama to manage their psychopathocracy." ~ Makheru Bradley

"Whenever I hear cats start talking that "community" shit I know they are not serious. No one is accountable in conversations about "da community". That "we as a people"... Plantation Negro segmentation nonsense is Kool-Aid left over from the 70's. It perpetuates the illusion that there is even such a thing as a "black community". There aint no "community" and hasn't been in 40 years. Most Negros don't even know their neighbors."The only effective group is FAMILY. Families are the cells of a society. Destruction of the cell is cancer. An effective institution, expectation and habit of marriage is the antidote." ~Denmark Vesey(A Bloggin' Beast!!!!)

The irony of having an economic system that you hate be the source of your entitlement that is in excess of your productive capacity. -- Constructive Feedback (Blogger Extraordinaire)

Most people can't think, most of the remainder won't think, the small fraction who do think mostly can't do it very well. The extremely tiny fraction who think regularly, accurately, creatively, and without self-delusion – in the long run, these are the only people who count. -Robert A. Heinlein

Illumination of the above Frederick Douglass quote by blogger extraordinaire Constructive Feedback

With all due respect to this great I am not sure that he could have imagined the day where:

"Non-justice" is delivered by the hands of favorable officials with racial diversity that realize "Black on Black violence" is not seen as "violent" as other modalities
Where allowing "ignorance to prevail" is a favorable strategy for the retention of power by those who position themselves as saviors
Where "conspiracy theories" are effective tools to allow people to remain unified against an external threat - even when it has moved away and they are all by themselves - otherwise having to manage the human resources before them toward a more conscious end.

In this environment - Robbery, the oppression of intimidation, and degradation put in the form of a music genre lead to an inevitable condition of insecurity for persons and property.
