Wynton Marsalis: Rap Is More Damaging Than Confederate Statues
Posted by FrenchToast on 5/26/18 at 1:59 pm210
Trumpeter Wynton Marsalis didn’t hold back during a new interview in which he discussed the impact rap music has had on the Black community. He believes hip-hop is more damaging to African-Americans than statues of the confederate leaders who fought to preserve slavery.
In a recent interview with journalist Jonathan Capehart on his Cape Up podcast, Marsalis shared that he’s never been fond of the vulgarity some rappers spew on the microphone.
“My words are not that powerful. I started saying in 1985 I don’t think we should have a music talking about ni**ers and b*tches and h*es. It had no impact. I’ve said it. I’ve repeated it. I still repeat it. To me, that’s more damaging than a statue of Robert E. Lee.”
Marsalis assisted New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu in removing a statue of the Confederate army commander but still believes hip-hop has more of a negative impact on Black folks.
“I feel that that’s much more of a racial issue than taking Robert E. Lee’s statue down,” he said. “There’s more ni**ers in that than there is in Robert E. Lee’s statue.”
He went on, “It’s just like the toll the minstrel show took on black folks and on white folks. Now, all this ‘ni**er this,’ ‘b*tch that,’ ‘h* that,’ that’s just a fact at this point.
When asked about Kanye West’s latest claims about politics and race, Marsalis dismissed the rapper.

The music is not doing anything to them the music is a result of who they actually are, its just that simple.

I've heard many many rap songs glorify rolling up on people, drive bys and gun violence. In fact many rappers are killed in Chicago every year over diss lyrics.
How many times has the NRA rapped about shooting people?

I met him once as a musician at a Jazz master class he did at Southern. LSU Jazz was invited to attend as well. He spent the entire clinic basically telling the whites in attendance that we weren’t good enough to play Jazz. He implied that since we were white, we didn’t have the ability to play Jazz soulfully. This was back in the late 80’s.
I’ve disliked him ever since.

Rap and hip hop is the septic tank of music. It’s amazing that those “artists” are revered as they are in the AA culture.

quote:I've been saying this for years. How has this garbage managed to get a pass all these years? You can reasonably surmise that once killing babies and people copulating on video for money became "industries", rap was an inevitable off-shoot. Nothing is wrong - everything's right... Good lord. Call me old-fashioned.
