Russ has condemned powerful players in the music industry for polluting Pop culture with artists who misrepresent and degrade black culture.

The Hip-Hop prince used Twitter to warn his fans to beware of executives who use the music industry to propel their narrow and dangerous views on race to disrupt and misrepresent the black community.
He shared…
The industry, owned and ran by white people, uses young naive financially desperate black kids to perpetuate negative black stereotypes that in turn hold back & further destroy the black community. Black kids are being used as weapons of mass destruction against their own people

Adding…
As a guest in the house of hip hop, I can’t just come in here and take take take…which is what white people historically do to anything black created. I have to give back to the culture that’s allowing me to take care of myself and my family. I try to do that by shedding light

He argues that white tastemakers and executives who secretly hold negative views of black people will only finance projects launched by artists willing to fall in line with their toxic views.
His accurate estimation received praise from many.
If the A&Rs are themselves white, then an unconscious, stereotypical view of Black ppl is definitely in play &- whether it’s intentional or not, they only sign ppl that FIT THAT STEREOTYPE. Thus perpetuating it.
For them, ppl that aren’t a stereotype…aren’t even “black”

Sadly, there's no lie here. It's not coincidence the poppin' artists on the radio for the majority all sound the same. There are big time players & INVESTORS @ these labels that indirectly fund these artists to push their AGENDA….SOUND FAMILIAR? #Americanpolitics

It's been going on like this for 30 years. Imagine that a 12-year-old who listened to Master P's Ghetto D in 1998 — a song (on a #1 album) about making crack — is now 30+ years old. A whole generation misled.

They’re not just white—they are majority JEWISH. But no one wants to come out and say it.
You don’t think Jews are white? ?
For all (general social) intents and purposes they are white, but they only claim white when it’s convenient. They have a very particular mindset that sets them apart from the average white person on the street. Zionism, their views on ‘goyim’, and their stranglehold on media, financial, and political institutions sets them apart as well. That’s all.
I can agree with that.
Skin color is not indicative of race. Aboriginals in Australia have black skin but you wouldnt consider them “black people” as in African American. Clearly they’re not…A jewish person genetically is mixed a bit with European blood in some cases however they are racially distinct and are middle eastern mostly.
Truth.
Russ, WHO?
Lord like stop complaining people!
You want equality but then want to be separated ugh like just live love and create!
You clearly need to learn how to read.
i do know how to read i simple made a state dummy!
smh learn to mind your own and read
Absolutely true! I’ve said this a few times here and the last time someone told me to shut up and save it for the NAACP. Some people have gotten so comfortable with the way things are that their perception is distorted and they are proudly ignorant of what’s really going on.
Just think about it. Without the ghetto, without poor education, without the gangs, without drug and gun and hood culture, the material would not exist for 90% of today’s rap/hip-hop artists to glorify and profit from. The white people pulling the strings know that these conditions have to be maintained in order to keep the class system the way it is with blacks at the bottom where all of these problems exist.
When Cardi B, for example, can earn ASCAP Songwriter of the Year for lazy unintelligent lyrics about her p****, it sends an unconscious message to her teenaged fans that there’s no need to strive for a good education and a career that requires people to use proper English. The majority of young people who desire to become rappers one day care little about education even when the resources are there to prepare them for more realistic career options that don’t require black plight to stay in existence. Until we wake up, there will be no shortage of ignorant young black folk for whites to exploit.
Say it again please, for the idiot above telling folks to “stop complaining”.
