Potentially but there is only so much these yutes can rap about if all there environment consists of is council estates. Albeit there is a much better way of rapping about certain lifestyles than what has been popular since the 90s, reducing the glorification of black death/incarceration will help the culture.

A lot of rappers have been saying for years they wanted to be more conscious but since its seen as boring by the masses....

Most of these rappers are as formulaic as these Hit pop producers, there is very little creativity displayed when it comes to making conscious music which is why it doesn't resonate with the younger audience.

Gambino proved it could be done in a way, albeit with the aid of the music video.

Similarly, being from a certain environment shouldn't limit the material a person has access to or can use in his art.

It's a lazy excuse, it just takes imagination, there was a time when this was the writers/poets greatest resource.

If Mary Shelley used this excuse she would have never written Frankenstein or Keats Ode to a Nightingale.

David Ruffin and many other Motown acts had chequered past's but their artform wasn't defined by the inner city environment they came from and the lasting legacy of Motown is one of love and black excellence.

Glad you used the word glorification though, it's this imo which makes Hip Hop and it's derivatives so destructive, tantamount to genocide.

It's just a shame we need the police to get involved and can't turn our own backs/denounce the crud for the sake of our kids and community.

That isn't a self sustaining solution imo.

Rar, they're filming game of thrones in London now.

This video didn’t show what happened 15 secs earlier. The car nearly knocked the guy on the bike over 

not excusing what he did afterwards but I don’t understand why the earlier part of the vid was cut

"it's like London has turned into the devil's playground"

Nah fuck off

Feels some people are happy about this like it gives them extra stripes to live in a city that has an increased murder rate.

All the sensationalist headlines in papers like the scum and daily mail make it out like we live in a war zone, when 8 million people are getting on with there lives like normal.

And the white hipster ppl are just moving in their areas, taking over their shops..making bars that are not welcoming of these people, enjoying  life and smiling whilst they get priced out and kill eachother for verification as a "respected" person.

Type of people who can't wait to go NYC or even to Cardiff and tell people they are from London.
