The Real Problem- Baton Rouge

To my amazement the city is 54% Black and majority of those are living in poverty (for whatever reason). The mindset of many are pure ignorance as to what life really is about and are raised via hip hop culture (I know first-hand) which leads to lack of respect for life and others.
Couple this with a city that is very limited on job opportunities for the unskilled or under educated. Low wage jobs that doesn't provide for a better life and you have a recipe for some desperate people doing some desperate things. City need more than jails and police need some VERY PROGRESSIVE THINKERS and not the status quo "as long as mines together the hell with them" SAD SAD SAD I moved away and WOW life is so better in progressive multi cultural city

so you've diagnosed the problems with crime in Baton Rouge as low income African Americans
You should write a book or contact the city officials
Complete bullshite, it's a lack of accountability. Glad to know your rap careee didn't take off though

Really man you're an idiot. Never was a rapper I've watched it shape the minds of many kids, young men and adults in those demographics. Again 1st hand!

Saying you had a failed rap career was clearly a joke..

Maybe they should stop, collaborate and listen

Cash crop babies left to raise themselves. They drop out of school and learn on the streets. Single parent households in government subsidized areas. Learning to live off the government. Mom is ignorant and speaks Ebonics. Nobody knows who the father is. It is a vicious cycle that will keep getting worse. Giving children a proper upbringing and teaching respect and morals, along with proper education is the only answer.

Rap music isn't the problem. I listened to a shite ton of rap, so did all my friends, and none of us have criminal records. We have jobs and we pay taxes.
Here's what you need to do to avoid poverty:
1. Stay in school
2. Delay having kids
3. Get a job
4. Listen to whatever music you want because the music isn't what defines your life if you're on track
The tipping point is when you don't follow the first 3, and you do follow the 4th and you turn the rap artists into your idols and role models.

The problem is black culture. The solution is a progressive multicultural city.
I guess so.

5.) Stop blaming everyone else for your problems and take some accountability for your own situations

The way the kids are raised is a huge problem. Also, education isn't stressed enough.
If a kid in the hood tries to do good in school and acts proper, the majority of the time they're made fun of and told they're acting "too white". A lot of these kids grow up watching their parents sell drugs and commit crimes and it just keeps the cycle going. Crime is romanticized and looked at as cool and as you mentioned, part of it is because of rap and kids taking things too literal, instead of viewing it as entertainment.
Single parent homes are also a huge problem. Especially, when the mother has 5 kids from 3 or 4 different dads.

I've played countless hours of Grand Theft Auto but I've never killed any hookers (maybe 1) or ripped someone out of their car at a light

There have been a couple recent people like you sign up.
Wouldn't surprise me if you were the "hey look what I got the TD people to agree to" type folk.

Rhyming words to a beat that 90% of the time wasn't made by the "artist" or was stolen says everything you need to know about the culture.

Let's get this out of the way: you're a fricking racist.
No sense in prolonging the inevitable.
