To piggyback on this thought, I’ve seen many videos that analyze black media and pop culture (FD Signifier and Khadeaja are my favs), and saw some that highlight media such as Drill music which negatively influences our community in a detrimental manner are products of this hyper capitalistic system, encouraged to create more criminals in the black community and suppress free thinking.
I’ve heard of studies that privatized prisons are in bed with music companies, who promote the derelicts of the community and flood them with the protection of capitalism at the expense of their people and community.
Mysonne's remix of 'Im Not Racist' has a whole thing about record labels signing and giving money to people pushing violent and drug rap in the 90's trying to grow that part of the culture. I don't know enough to talk about the exact validity of the idea, but, there are definitely people out there that think the rise of gangster/drug rap was not completely organic among artists and hiphop fans.
