I don't think that hip hop play a stereotypical role in blacks today. but I do think that Rap play the role in why we don't have more successful young blacks. now this isn't a north, south east or west rap issue. its a issue where these rappers don't take into account of what the words they are feeding to kids, affect how they react physically, and mentally. the rap today is the cause and effect cycle. first some people don't know what the difference between Rap and hip hop is. it takes a lifetime of studying what the cultures are. hip hop is more than a culture itself. it breeds good positive men, men that are MC's. ex: common, kool moe dee, run dmc, etc. rap doesn't. rap consist of no creativity. the rappers of rap today talk about the same worthless thing. the jewels, degrading black/ all colors of women. initiating bodily harm, yada, yada. (ex: the young jeezy's, the ti, lil wayne, shop boyz, huey, etc.) and now our kids today don't know how to separate themselves from it. they see these rappers as people that they felt overcame the hood and that they can do the same thing. black parents left these kids in front of the TV with these rappers, and too much free time to experiment. too many of our black parents have to spend taking too much time off their kids to work. and some of these parents are living in a single home. we were raised to let the TV, become our babysitters. that's why these kids can hear a kool moe dee record, and not know who he is. because of that, some of these kids try to imitate what they glamorized, because the rapper gave them what they liked to see. so now, when we try to let the kids hear what hip hop is, they say its boring, because it doesn't contain the negative of what they are used to hearing. and its also due to some of our black men that should parent these kids. they are either in jail, dead, or doing the same thing that the rappers rap about. some of our black men are too " prideful" to dumb down themselves to the kids. there are many reasons. as for me I was fortunate to know the difference of what hip hop and rap is.
