Why does the rap world, dominated by Gangsta Rap, make a special point of ridiculing Hippies?
A very big deal was made of it in the rap world when De La Soul took offense at being compared to Hippies. The Big Rap Media is always ridiculing anyone who seems even remotely like a Hippy in spirit, whether they look like a hippy or not.
Why?
I have finally figured it out.
Gangsta Rap makes big corporations a lot of money.
It began with big corporations grooming Gangsta rap as the next big fad to succeed rock back in the 80s, back when rap was more like 50s rock and Chuck Berry in spirit.
And the success of the hippy movement proves the basic logic of Gangsta Rap wrong.
The whole idea is this: people buy Gangsta Rap because they think that 'Black' people have to be harsh like gangsters in order to survive and be successful.
The success of the Hippy movement proves this wrong.
And Big Rap Media does not want you to know that.
And so Big Rap Media goes insanely hard ridiculing anyone who seems even remotely like a peace and love Hippy in spirit.
Because the success of the Hippy Movement proves that 'Blacks' can better themselves better with peace and love and nonviolent protest than with harsh reality.
And Big Rap Media does not want you to know that.
The Hippys pretty much demolished the old segregationist system.
And no, that does not mean that Blacks had nothing to do with it. Because many Hippys were Black. In fact, it was the Blacks who started the Hippy movement.
And Big rap Media does not want you to know that either.
The Hippys demolished the old segregationist system with peace and love and flowers and nonviolent protest, and that proves that Black people can better their community immensely by peace and love and nonviolent protest.
And can, in the process, attract so many Whites that people now think that the Hippy movement, which was originally Black, was a White movement.
But no.
The Hippys began with the Beatniks
And the Beatniks began with the modern jazz fans
And the modern jazz fans were originally Black.
And the modern jazz fans began with Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie
And were led by Miles Davis and John Coltrane after that.
This was a Black movement that attracted so many Whites that people now think of the whole movement as White.
Even though even in that generation of the movement Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone were among its leaders.
Food for thought!
God loves you!
Sincerely,
David S. Annderson
