The Message… from HipHopDX

    We here at HipHopDX are in solidarity with the organizers and protesters in the streets, who are demanding equal law enforcement protection for the Black men and women and other people of color that America has failed.

    As early as Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five’s “The Message” (1982), Hip Hop has churned out music addressing inequality, police brutality, illegal search and seizure, and the outright murder of Blacks and Latinos in its lyrics.

    Song after song.

    Album after album.

    Rap has served as the voice of our culture, shining a light directly on this nation and its unequal treatment of brown people who continue to die.

    It’s not enough to decry racism, we need to stand up against it!

    For George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and the many many Black lives lost before them, we honor your legacy.

    Fight for what’s right.
    Fight to be heard.
    Find a way to help.

    1. How long did they think we would sit in silence waiting to die. We didn’t start this war nor did we start the looting. Business owners should hold their president accountable for promoting prejudice and hate crimes. The more threats he send, the more harm he brings to the everyday people while he hide like a coward. We are the military. I dare he try to use our sisters and brothers against us. He should send his gang that wear the white sheets. No justice No peace!!!

      1. What does Trump have to do with this. Jesus Christ… A cop killed a filthy criminal with an extensive record and you morons have gone crazy. ‘Business owners should hold their president accountable’. HAHAHA. Nah, they should hold the criminals accountable who have destroyed their livelihoods. You sound like a child who blames others for their actions. Get a grip on reality.

        1. Your blantant racist comments is why the cities burn.It’s okay.. feels good to keep it real I’m sure. From the evil you’ve written here.. you can’t tell me you wouldn’t bear your teeth backed into a corner.

          1. He is kind of right. 1. George who was “rebuilding his life” was caught passing stolen checks and had 5 felonies on his record. That doesn’t justify killing him, still, he was no saint. 2. It is not a business owners fault that any of this happened. How is a business owner supposed to hold the president accountable for anything? Also, I am a life long democrat. Definitely voting for Biden. When has trump promoted hate crimes and prejudice? I think all of this might get him Re elected and compromise civil liberties. Thousands have already been arrested across the US. “We” are not the military friend. They will shoot.

          2. Nothing he said was racist? That’s the problem you can’t relate EVERYTHING to racism the world evidently is ran by evil satanic mutha fuckaz obviously a revolution is in need but if you think acting the same as them against people of different colors from yourself how would that make you better? You want to get even you’ll have to be smart about it not breaking down random buildings best believe they have been pushing for a civil war to break out for years now hence why they have hyped up all the racial content on social media to get the pot boiling watch out they have 5g weapons now FEMA camps coffins st the millions been placed in a state near you since like 2012? This is a lot bigger then black and white.

    2. “It’s not a white man’s finger on the trigger
      Car-jacks, drive-by’s, callin’ each other “nigga” -Nonchalant(1996)

    3. “If black people kill black people every day, why not have a week and kill white people?”-Sister Souljah(1992)

      1. I’m pretty sure the Klan (I ain’t talking Wu-Tang) have a very similar saying. That dumb bitch and you seem to think black People are going to win some sort of armed conflict. LOL Good luck with that.

    4. What’s beautiful in this is that there are many people of different races that saw this as a stopping point.

    5. Prosecute the other 3. Also, hold EVERY single protester that used violence or set anything on fire responsible for their actions to the fullest extent of the law. That would help.

      1. Nah the law has been corrupt since it was created. Everything is based on money and greed as oppose to common decency love and unity your a damn fool if you think the court house issues out justice

    6. The problem is some of the protesters are creating more problems than solving. Looting and burning down buildings does not solve it.

    7. Nothing says “black people should be treated with the respect and dignity they deserve” quite like peacefully looting, stealing and breaking into department stores and small businesses.

        1. Are any of those people in Southside Chicago? There will be PLENTY of justice. Once this dies down in a well or so, the FBI will use facial identification tech and arrest hundreds or maybe thousands of violent protestors for YEARS as mandatory minimus. They will probably pass some domestic terrorism law and new laws to further surveillance us, like with 911. Trust me, LOTS of justice. Most of these people commuting these crimes are white. It will be interesting to see how they fare in prison, when the aryan nation scum find out they are in prison for rioting for black rights. I’m sure black people will protect them, right?

      1. u forgot ur white history…caucasoids are mad that thw shoe is on the other foot…nevermind that chicagos murder rate has been dropping for years, and now that the protests are popping the “black on black” cop out is damn near zero…stop ur whining….ur a GUEST in hip hop, just like ur a GUEST ON THIS SITE

    8. Ja rule gonna drop a re make of nwa f the police. Look out for that! Dropping on his insta real soon!

        1. Album is going to be called Il Bagno…….Before you get too excited…that actually means “The Toilet” in Italian lol… Goddamn JA Rule sucks ROFLMAO!!!!

    9. Keep serving Trump like he’s your God. Keep being mad cause he’s not mine. Who’s fault is it if he was a so called criminal on the streets? Are you mad cause you beat on black people while wearing the blue sheet but you can’t keep them in bars with chains. How many black churches, front lawns with crosses and homes did you watch burn. Now you want to cry. Are you mad because its being done in the light with no mask and you move like a coward in the dark with your whole head covered. Get off this line with your pity party talking loud but saying nothing. Blue eyes and blonde hair don’t make you white considering a black woman always been a white man’s choice. Sitting in the sun burning your skin all day just to be brown the color you swear you hate. Who you mad at yourself? Go talk to your daddy and find out how many black sisters and brothers he’s hiding from your so called white mother.

    10. All these rappers take the money we give but ain’t giving back when it’s time to fight they be in the house!!
