Willieh Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Well. Here's the thing about mainstream. The Label pays the artist a lot of money to decide what their image is going to be. What you end up getting is a rapper who used to be good turning into a sellout that raps about selling drugs and having sex with women in bikinis. These rappers leave impressions (subconscious or not) on a large percentage of young people who listen to the music (particularly' date=' poor black males and suburban white kids). These kids then connect the dots and realize that if they sell drugs, they'll start banging hot chicks and buying lots of rings and necklaces. As soon as they start selling their drugs, they meet a GOOD drug dealer who leaves an even larger impression on them because he DOES have an expensive car and expensive clothes and he DID sell drugs to get it. The difference between our upcoming drug dealer and the successful drug dealer is that the successful drug dealer sells to a select group of people, has reserve money for a lawyer, and has taken plenty of other safety precautions (which will probably fail him eventually anyway). Okay, now our kid is ready to start selling drugs. He is successful for about... 6 months. He gets a call from someone setting up a drug deal somewhere within a mile-wide radius of a school zone. So the kid goes to meet these people and finds that there's about 20 cop cars around him because the person he's [i']selling[/i] too was busted his/herself, and is narking to keep out of jail (because that's what cops do, they blackmail people into narking). So now the kid is going to jail with some hefty charges unless he narks. Naturally he chooses not to nark, because that would be CONSIDERABLY more dangerous for him than just doing his bid. As soon as he gets out of jail, he decides that he's done with the drug game and starts looking for a job. No one will hire him though! That's because he's a convicted felon now. He can't go to college, he can't get a job, he can't do s***. Unless he gets a break from SOMEONE and actually gets a job or acceptance from a college, he's going to probably sell drugs again because that's ALL HE CAN DO. Rinse and repeat. After getting caught with drugs 3 times he is sent to state for life. All of this happened to him because of a slur of subconscious attacks, including music choice, friends... and more... Meanwhile: the rap artist, who was probably college educated, raps about selling drugs or being a gang to get rich even though that's not how he got rich at all. Or he does like Soulja Boy and raps about how f***ing retarded cool he looks when he does his revolutionary dance, which I suppose doesn't have any affects like the ones I described on a kid... But it's still f***ing dumb as s***. Either way, it sucks dick. Tl;dr: f*** the industry, f*** cops, and f*** mainstream artists like Lil' Wayne and Soulja Boy too. OMG, that is the worst case scenario. If you really believe this happens that much at all, your crazy. i understand how you can hate mainstream, but if it's because of this, you hatred is completley irrational. OT: eminem is by far the best, but i still like kanye, wayne, and drake. (wayne's verse was the worst, but he wasn't terrible) Actually, this happens quite a bit. I've witnessed it twice.
