It gives me a connection to young black men. I'm 46 and through industry issues and personal issues I've been forced from corporate America. My situation has put me in a position of working with uneducated inner city young black men. I try to view my situation as God putting here for a reason. I really want to help these young men learn life lessons they never learned at home. I love hop. A lot of guys my age hate young rappers. Just on a basic level I'm personally like why are you holding on to 30 year old music so my love of new music is just a love of music but it also provides a connection to the youth. Secondly rappers talk about working. They may talk about crime but they talk about going out and being aggressive and getting money on your own and not complaining or begging
I stopped listening to rap completely because my mom was right way back then when she called rap and heavy metal devil music.
You should just go hoop and meet real people outside of the work setting Scared of getting sauced on old man?
Do you like reggae? I am a huge reggae fan. The message is always very positive and uplifting, especially for young black men.
They don't listen to reggae. Not trying to change their preference, just trying to connect. They also like when I talk hip hop from my youth. I talk about broken homes and lack of male guidance in the inner city. It's a deeper issue than that. Black men are always trying to compete and put each other down It's a legacy of a survival tactic from slavery. I have very educated friends on FB who.condemn today's hip hop on subject matter as if NWA talked about deep **** Other than that I genuinely enjoy today's hip hop so it's no big deal but I value the connection it provides me to young black men
I just listen to music for the music. Yeah lyrics can send a message that detracts or engages based on the content, but 99% of music is about harmony, rhythm, and tones that evoke sensory perception. The voice and words are mostly just a tool for harmony, and sound progression. It's not more complicated than that. The lyrics connecting you to a culture, and state of mind??.... a little... but mostly even hip hop is about the music.
The D&D doesn't know what hip hop is. They don't listen to music, they are just addicted cable news. They think Don Lemon and Tucker and Cummo are music to their ears. Luckily, you know I listen to hip hop from day 1. All the haters keep posting Tucker or Lemon We airstrike them like they live in Yemen All they keep talking about is Trump or Biden These suckers don't have cars while we ridin in a Tesla or Porsche 911 better call the cops dial 911 99ers just killed fake rockets fans they klu klux we wu tang clans that dumb sucker obsessed about media of the state always falling the cable news bait then you got suckers who think you fall left or right we're Center like Hakeem they getting beat up like Sterling brown that night Sterling, he's a houston rocket oh no he broke Covid protocol yells the cheap poster who works for non profit cause he knows the 99ers are the prophet and the gods we rule all of clutchfans newbs, we the MODS PGABRIEL is a real one the haters are just stalin like joseph when they diss us PURE ROCKETS FANS they diss themself 99ers 4 life
