Hip-Hop: The Cancer of American Culture

It's reached a level of moral rot that Americans have not seen in any subculture or genre of music.

Let me be clear: I am in no way diminishing cancer and the effect it has on American families. I simply want to draw attention to the similarities of how cancer cells destroy their host and how hip-hop culture is destroying America. Since its inception, America has been the birthplace of many subcultures, industries, and genres of music. Americans have always believed in freedom of expression and free markets, so long as it is not antithetical to American values.

Hip-hop culture and its music has reached a level of moral rot that Americans have not seen in any subculture or genre of music in a long time. Some may claim that it’s just art no different than a painting. I would argue that even art begins with drawing a line. Those lines represents boundaries. When we examine hip-hop today, we can observe that it has no boundaries or lines of morality. Hip-hop culture and music over the years has become more aggressively violent, misogynistic toward women, and now anti-American. Hip-hop artists like KRS-ONE, who is considered a religious teacher and author of The Gospel of HipHop, declares, “Hip-Hop culture is a rebellious response to white American capitalism.” Africa Bambaataa, the godfather of hip-hop, teaches that the black man is “God” and the white man is “the devil." How are these statements art?

In America, we measure the benefit of subcultures by how they add value to the dominant American culture. Hip-hop at every turn attempts to diminish American culture with the promotion of rebellion, rants against police, racist overtones, and radical religious ideology. This type of behavior and rhetoric by hip-hop artists is why I consider hip-hop to be a cancer to America.

Cancer changes the way our cells function. Normal cells divide and grow to form new cells. When older cells die, new cells are formed to replace the dying cells. This process enables the body to continue to grow and function in a healthy capacity. Cancer is a breakdown of this orderly process. As cells become abnormal or damaged, instead of dying, they continue to survive. They will divide and continue to grow rapidly and form tumors. Those malignant tumors then aggressively spread into nearby tissues and organs and become invasive. Cancer cells ignore signals to stop dividing and even attempt to change how normal cells function — they convince normal cells to feed them oxygen to grow the tumor.

This is exactly how hip-hop is functioning in American culture. Hip-hop culture has invaded every walk of life posing as a genre of music when it is, at its core, a radical religious subculture that is designed to destroy the host. When we look at hip-hop "cells” that we call artists, they have called for the death of America and its institutions that make us great. In the ‘90s you had gangster rappers like N.W.A. (N*&&@$ With Attitudes) that had songs entitled “F—k the police,” that inspired the L.A. riots. In the 2000s you had rappers like Jay-Z rapping, “Jesus can’t save you. Life begins when the Church ends.”

In 2018, Snoop Dog recently created a video where he depicted President Trump being assassinated and the album cover had the president dead in a morgue with a toe tag labeled “Trump.” In the same year, he released a Christian gospel album. Just this month, rapper Nipsey Hussle, who was featured in a song called “F—k Trump,” was killed violently in LA by an associate gang member of the Rollin 60’s Neighborhood Crips. Nipsey’s influence even reached NBA player Russell Westbrook, who after scoring 20 points, 20 rebounds, and 20 assists against the Los Angeles Lakers, told the interviewer, “This was for Nipsey! 20-20-20 they know what this means!” The player was referring to a shout to the Rollin 60’s Neighborhood Crips gang that Nipsey Hussle was affiliated with. In plain sight, an NBA player was able to use his NBA platform to support gang activity. This proves how the cancer can spread from industry to industry or organ to organ.

The hip-hop cancer has invaded almost every aspect of American culture. It has metastasized in a generation and promotes everything from gang violence and selling drugs to killing police officers and calling for the end of the Christian church. My hope is that Americans will begin to wake up and seek aggressive treatment against this cancerous culture, or better than that, have it removed from their family and life in hopes of saving future American generations.

We live in an age of degeneracy, what do you expect when people claiming to be Christian elect a dishonest businessman who bears false witness against his honorable predecessor, has been married three times cheats on his wife who is recovering from bearing his child with a pornographic actor and has a slimy bag man pay hush money to cover it up. Rips off peoples life savings and all they can borrow with a fake university. Sets up a crooked charity foundation that is used to line his own pockets and is so crooked it is shut down and Trump and his family are banned for life from operating a charity organization in New York. He directed his henchmen to steal infants and children from their parents and put them in dog kennels to discourage them from seeking legal asylum. Commends neo-nazis as “some good people” and is proven to have told over 9000 lies while in office.

I am no fan of hip hop and find some of the lyrics troubling however when Jonny Cash wrote lyrics like “I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die” it was seen for what it was, a lyrical story line not an invitation to commit murder. Hip hop lyrics should be given similar license.

What you have just posted is a very accurate description of the Clinton Crime Family

...and the Trump and Bush criminal institution.

License for what? The main requirement for being a hip hop "artist" is to be able to use various forms of the word f*ck at least ten times per sentence, interspersed with such endearments as "bust a cap in yo' bitch 'ho ass."
Brainless bullshit, for brainless people.

Honorable predecessor?? He was more corrupt and lawless than Trump by far.........different means and methods........and that’s not even the point! None of us should fall into the trap of judging an entire nation by the actions of one person.........there’s nothing we can do to ourselves that is more disempowering!! Gov’t is incapable of creating and administrating the society we envision.............to think it can turns us into aphids!

Oldschool 101

It's the culture....

Lt. Rob Polans ret.

Yep, that and rap which uses f**ck 20 times. It should be the state music (?) of Chicago. And they are brainless if demorats simply have to show up once every 4years to get their vote. #LincolnWasARepublican Some think he was a demorat.

Bad poetry rattled off in jungle beats by drugged thugs.
Not my culture.
Best rap line ever by Special Ed, aptly named.
"I'm black
I'm gifted
I never
Shoplifted"
Now that is inspirational to the listeners.
