Not true. I listened to NWA, CMW, etc. when I was in High School. It was a phase. It was music that wasn't popular at all. By popular I mean mainstream. It was a form of rebellion listening to that shit.noel wrote:Yeah black music was never popular outside the ghetto until mass media started pushing the hell out of it.Midnyte_Ragebringer wrote:If it wasn't being pushed, 50cent wouldn't be popular outside of the ghetto.Try again racist tool.
Nowadays, this shit is being pushed so much, it is considered mainstream. You have ex-drug pushers, now rap stars, on TV commercials all day long. You have real musicians who actually create music with instruments and sing who can't get signed because the airwaves are filled with gangsters talking fast over other peoples music or computer generated sounds. That shit didn't become mainstream without white-guilt america pushing it.
