The music industry got behind rap/ hip hop when they realized suburban white kids would buy the albums. Within a decade or two, that demographic pretty much abandoned rock music.
You could not be more spot on. And the fact that private prisons are not over flowing with suburban white kids is a good indication that OP is FOS.

Somewhat believable based on what some rap artists have talked about, but this is fictional.
Ice Cube, specifically has talked about this and his managers alleged association with the government and his theory CIA was involved with funding labels to push labels to promote gangster rap in the 90's. I'm sure it's not the only instance since the CIA was involved with pushing musical artists that represented sub-culture in the 1960's as released documents have proven.
This seems to be a story based on the interviews with Ice Cube and nothing more.

A few of us, myself included, tried to intervene. One of them pulled out a gun and we all backed off. They separated us from the crowd and all four of us were escorted outside.

This didn’t happen.

1. privately owned prisons do have a business need to for high incarceration rates. (Parish and county Jails also utilize housing prisoners from other jurisdictions as a money maker)
Having a profit motive is not evidence of anything.

The Diddy files further taught us that the business model was to select untalented chumps who could be easily controlled and 'made' while consecrating their loyalty with gay sex.

I think that wannabe screenwriter is Ailsa.

It is when your business is so nuanced that it cant drum up its own business and relies on a high incarceration rate

I 100% believe there was an industry "push" to boost the popularity of rap/hip hop around that time. The shift away from rock and towards rap/hip hop never felt organic or natural.
I agree on that point, but the above reads like some fan fiction reddit shite.

It's all just bullshite mind poison. Intentionally.
We know this to be true. We know musicians have spoken out about Satanism and pedophilia in the industry.
We also know that the CIA has been involved in movies and music for decades.
But, according to most in this thread, the music industry pushing a crime culture on blacks for profit is just "too crazy" to believe.
I have no problem believing that an industry that exchanges gay sex for success would also encourage crime to make more money.

The subject matter changed. Eighties rock music by and large is about women, partying and having a good time. By the early 90's the music had shifted towards subject matter that was darker, such as pain, addiction, depression and heart break. Think of it as the consequences of the 80's lifestyle. By the late 90's, early 2000's it was even darker with subject matter dealing with broken homes, child abuse, and suicide. That was the death of mainstream rock, because generally speaking fans like me couldn't relate and really had no interest in consuming the subject matter.. Hip hop for all its faults was fun. Kids wanted to hear Cash Money takin over for the 99 and the 2000, not the latest suicide ballad from every new knockoff Papa Roach and Linken Park

That is actually kind of an interesting read.
I always rhought it happened because of some Fresh Prince TV show that I heard about during my younger, busy, days.

Another conspiracy theory to explain how black people's behavior, decisions, culture, repercussions, etc are not their fault.

LOL. We were sitting in a bar a few days ago that plays a lot of grunge music. Somehow the subject came up that Dave Grohl should have called his band “Remnants of Nirvana” instead of “Foo Fighters”, as it had a much better 90s vibe. In fact, we concluded that “Remnants of Nirvana” was actually better than “Nirvana” for a 90s Seattle band, because it implies that life was once near perfection, and then everything turned to shite.

People still had to enjoy listening to it and buy the records.

The industry was doing cocaine too if not crack. Those were the drugs that inspired motor mouth rap to start with.

I started a thread about 6 months ago talking about how the music industry has basically gone to hell. Overall, music today can't touch what it used to be. Either with regards to the best-known singers/musicians or the quality of the music.
I don't doubt for one second that it's been done on purpose, just like a lot of other developments over the past several years and decades.
I mean, why didn't we have to worry about illegal immigration on a large scale 40-50 years ago? Why didn't Europe have the huge problem they have today with illegal immigration 40-50 years ago?
While a lot of people were simply busy living their lives, there's a group of people in different arenas who have always been plotting the down fall of Western Civilization. And as of today they seem to have largely succeeded.
