Do you remember when the Republican party tried to save Hip-Hop? WHAT?!
If I told you that the Republican party tried to save Hip-Hop 25 years ago, you would call me crazy wouldnt you?
Follow me...
Lets begin with what we have now in Hip-Hop, namely mainstream Rap. It is the most based, materialistic, violent and perverse music available, by far. It is also the most illiterate. I mean, even mainstream rappers have been saying it for a couple of decades, that the industry is falling, if not already dead and gone. Am I wrong?
Ive heard quite a few good lyricists tell us about how it is so pathetic, for years. I also am pretty well read, and from my early more ignorant years when I was not only a Hip-Hop fan but producing music as well, I have come to understand how grossly ignorant rappers generally are when it comes to the English language. I didnt want to lose the taste for the game. I loved producing, but I couldnt escape the truth, that the industry has become full of shit, and it wasnt for me.
But how did it get so bad?
Well, the commercialization of anything will ruin the thing. And that is exactly what happened to Hip-Hop. Rap was of course at the forefront of the industry so it became the main target for those wishing to exploit it.
Before the 90's, the industry was organic. The music was REALLY moving and catching a lot of attention. The messages, the lyrics, were highly conscious and matched the vibes of the music. Rappers were rarely gloating and boasting about themselves, there was very little ego, unless it came to their lyrical abilities and that is because battle MC'ing was part of the art, which was great because it helped raise the bar with lyrical creativity.
There were also ALOT of positive messages in the music. Rappers would actually take us to school! I also remember Queen Latifah making a song called UNITY, where the main lyrics in the song were "who you calling a bitch", "you gotta let them know, you aint a bitch or a hoe".. This wasnt underground either. This was top of the charts and all over the music channels. She wasn't the only one either. There were quite a few more from MC Lite to Lauren Hill before it went downhill and every female rapper became a "bad bitch", terrible role models for women, normalizing the worst.
Can you remember the last female rapper who wasnt a "proud bitch"? I mean, they call themselves and one another bitches like mad. Its normal now. Rappers also rarely used the word "nigga" in their songs. Now it is everywhere! Even white kids from Oklahoma are calling one another niggas now.
How does an art form that uses more words per minute than any other, by far, often putting more language daily in youths subconscious than their teachers and parents combined, become so ignorant of language, to the point that it makes them seem really ignorant? And am I crazy for understanding the ill consequences of so much language being put into the subconscious of the youth?
I never understood this as a teen, because I was a kid. I was way left, foolish, and so I ate it all up. But we all eventually grow out of childish things don't we? We become wiser, we start to become more right. And as much as I enjoyed the music, I cant imagine how much better off I would have been ingesting better language and messages. I memorized albums in mere days. I can still recite MANY. I cant recite anything of value from school though.
So far we understand that Hip-Hop had amazing roots and it went south after it was infected by California influences, the mind control capital of the country, if not the world. I say this because not only do we have Hollywood there and a culture built around façade and acting, but it is also home to big tech, which is also obviously in line with social control as well. California is a way left state, and I don't mean just geographically. If we study this state deeply, we will find out how fucked up it really is. Homelessness and drug use is rampant, even though they have the wealthiest people and the highest taxes. They are extremely deceptive, just like Hollywood.
Coincidence?
In the early 90s Hip-Hop received a heavy left/Western influence. It became "Hollywooded". We began seeing much more violence, sex, drug use, ego, and all around baseness in it. Gangster rap ran the charts. It was the beginning of the end.
I remember frequently seeing senators on television calling out rap music, trying to tell the American people how bad it was for us. THEY WERE ALL REPUBLICAN!
Not a single Democrat stood against the infection. They instead decided to feed their loyal slave voters more bullshit. They used these celebrities to control minds! They ignored the issue and labeled the senators as racists.
Sound familiar?
And I fell for it, because I was young, and young people don't know any better. They are highly egoistic and influenced by pop culture. You coulndt tell me shit about Snoop or Death Row. Even though it was all the while called DEATH ROW RECORDS, and they only brought out the most violent and egotistical rappers ever. Snoop rapped about getting away with murder, fucking guys wives, every sex act imaginable, drinking and smoking, shooting people, and making deals with the devil for his stardom!
But again, I was 13, so he was an idol for me. I was stupid and couldn't see the big picture.
This type of music was allover the top of the charts, and the only people that cared enough to say something were on the Right side of politics. But just like daddy saying playtime is over, we didn't want to hear it. Just like in a culture that is destroying the idea of strong men laying down thoughtful and just rules for his family, we rebelled against what was right. Just like they worked behind the scenes to destroy fatherhood in the black community, so too they did away with reason.
Rappers started beefing and killing one another. And soon after, many of raps true lyricists and pioneers started declaring it dead! They knew something came in and killed it. It was the deep state.
So knowing where Hip-Hop once was, where it was generally very positive and conscious, and seeing where it is now, can we really say that those Republicans were attacking Hip-Hop because they were racists? What if the mainstream media, fake ass Hollywood, the deep state didn't rally our ignorant hypnotized asses the wrong way, and allowed us to see the REAL REASON for the Republican uproar?
Wouldn't We The People have demanded better of rappers? Of course!
Wouldnt the minds of the youth be less full of shit? Wouldnt that help them become wiser? Of course!
But then the old world order would lose a lot of control, because only immoral, ignorant and weak people fall for their shit. Wise people are not dependent people. This happened 25 years ago, and its the same kind of politics that is being played in front of us right now.
Can you see it?
They hook us with visually stunning people, drama, keeping us in a stupor.
They have to keep us irrational and fearful. They need us to hate. They need us to be emotional, so we cannot reason or really listen to a view outside of the one we like. They need us to feel insecure and victimized. They don't like to examine root causes, the individual and his mind. They don't talk actual politics, but would rather have you rally around and AGAINST identity, sex, and race. They are masters of the things out there, the things way left, the things without, the right we have left from, scientism, and ego.
But they know little about self accountability, self determination, responsibility, independence, faith, the very things that not just this country, but any good business, or even family, is founded on.
We are waking up now. This is the revelation, that every mainstream idea we think we know to be true or virtuous is wrong. We all are having an apocalypse of mind. The world of illusion is dying.
With love,
Doc
