Why did the hip hop community turn on trump.

[GhostofDempsey]

It’s ingrained in the hip-hop culture to automatically reject republicans. If Herman Cain were president they would hate him and call him an Uncle Tom, a traitor.

Trump lost the left as soon as he questioned Obama’s orthodox certificate. That was it, they all turned on him.

He went from one of the most referenced people in hip hop to one of the most hated. How did this happen?

They are on the plantation of the Democrat Jewish they pull the strings

Because the media and democrats told them to hate him.

Almost all black people are taught to hate republicans yet democrats are the ones incharge of their gang ridden high crime cities.

From Wu tang to ice cube and everybody in between.

UGK said you could call him “Black trump”

Listen to the actual lines, lol.

Every line is either talking about becoming a billionaire (Trump's public persona has always been of a billionaire, whether that was real or not) or a rapper hip to the game dissing him.

[_original_]

Because he was the greedy robber baron type that hip hop often glorifies (Rockefeller, ect.). It was really about his money, not him as the vile person he's always been (let's be real).


Hip hop, or the good kind back in the 90s, typically questioned all politicians and presidents. Was sad to see so many hip hop artists endorse Obama, who was just as bad as them all. Only guy I really saw question him was Immortal Technique. Now they're all going back and bashing Trump, just not consistent with true hip hop at all IMO.

That's a lie.

It's ingrained in hip hop to automatically reject folks who reflexively hate/oppress black/brown/poor people.

Ronald Reagan was the force behind flooding the inner city with crack cocaine, and the force behind a lot of the nonsense that came with that (100:1 sentencing criteria of crack vs cocaine charges, aggressive/hostile policing of the inner city by police forces that no longer have officers in the actual city, the cutting of social services programs in the face of failing supply side economics, religious orthodoxy taking full-spectrum healthcare conversations out of the public, privatization efforts of everything to the detriment of people, etc).

If Herman Cain became President, and refused to do anything for the inner city, anything to actually improve the opportunities to come from education, continued the push to eliminate services that are actually helping poor people across the country, and hung the entire health of the American economy and national budget on his 9% federal income tax/9% corporate income tax/9% federal VAT, black people and brown people and poor people would rightfully call him a traitor, regardless of what his skin color is.

How was Obama as bad as them all? Argue about whether he did what you wanted him to do, or go as far or not as far, Barack Obama racked up a pretty stellar 8-year run that actually ended up doing a lot of good for actual people, whether you voted for him or not.

Modernizing the way in which health information is utilized across all of the healthcare market, making a sizable return for the American public on the TARP effort, sticking out his neck to use some of the TARP funds to save the Big 3 automakers (earnestly, Ford Motors didn't really desperately need the funds that the others did) and a supplier base that undergirds much of the industrial Upper Midwest from full collapse, giving the young people under DACA a lifeline to a life of living without fear, eliminating the public cudgel of the POTUS standing against gay marriage, taking clear and open heat from the labor unions and the folks who support them in the name of vastly improving the access to the Asian markets (and drastically updating NAFTA) for our farming/ranching economies, sticking out his neck to earnestly try for a new way forward, in Iran and Cuba, after 40 years of trying things the old way didn't work, etc.

And that's before you get into programs like his My Brothers Keeper initiative, or the image that he was able to present to the country and the world (8 years without any real semblance of a scandal, daughters stayed out of trouble, Barack Obama and Michelle Obama being a partnership that can be aspired to, etc).

Barack Obama was the first "hip hop" president, carried himself as such, and the hip hop world (and the nation generally) peeped him for that.

Hahaha. Trump wants to help clean up Chicago, but Democrats would rather it be a war zone. Obama’s adopted home city run by his crony. Keep blaming Reagan, Trump and other white Republicans but it is Democrat run cities that are the highest in crime and homelessness.
