Is this something Democrats in the Congress should be doing considering current events? What are the socially redeeming qualities here? Treating women like whores? Advocating violence against the police? Celebrating or glorifying violence against your neighbors? The constant spewing of racial slurs? When did this music become uplifting and an attempt to send a positive message? Does this form of “music” encourage fathers to stay in a home and take part in raising their children? Does it encourage young black men to get educated, go out and work and contribute to society? https://katv.com/amp/news/nation-wor...tion-coalition Democratic members of Congress formed the "Hip Hop Power and Justice Task Force" Wednesday, meant to address economic inequality, affordable housing and racial justice concerns.
It is art. No different than movies where children are eaten, or heavy metal songs about mass killing. This is nothing more than political pandering. Its an excuse to bring in tax dollars while providing society with zero benefits.
At best, this is incredibly corny like the “how do you do, fellow kids” meme and at worst, this is just fcking stupid. Oh, and just to inform everyone, there’s plenty of uplifting themes and sociopolitical messaging in hip hop music, always has been. Just stop assuming that’s it’s gonna be found in the mainstream and look at underground stuff.
As if, they have nothing more important on table, being ignored. Make-work BS means you can appear to be busy doing something while avoiding all the critical challenges you don't want to face.
