ICE CUBE "GANGSTA RAP MADE ME DO IT" OFFICIAL VIDEO from GIOVANI HIDALGO on Vimeo.
After a couple kid-friendly flicks and years of red carpet treatment, O'Shea Jackson isn't the same angry black man that made critical music in rap's golden era. But, he can still act like it. In "Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It", Ice Cube facetiously lays the blame for the majority of America's problems at the feet of the genre he helped propel to the mainstream. Violence, rape, murder, theft, arson, war? All the fault of rap music, according to the Nazi-ed up classroom teacher tells a classroom of kids in the year 2020. Deft edits of stock footage from natural and political disasters follow, intercut with a shadow boxing Ice Cube. It's a gripping visual for a song that confronts the hypocrisy of rap's pop culture critics and should provoke discussion for months to come.

No thanks.
I've seen the results of the degradation of weak-minded individuals here; no further documentation needed.

That's "negradation" as Uncle Ruckus would say.

How to summarize it? Ice pretends that white America is blaming all its problems on gangster rap. From mass shootings, to forest fires, to torture, Enron to Iraq, 9/11 to OKC: "blame me."
Ice Tea admits that he's a Muslim in the video.

Ice is most sadly mis-informed.
What a moron.

Ice-T is not even in that video.
Although he did mention that, during the tumult surrounding his song "Cop Killer", he consulted with Louis Farrakhan as how to deal with the press.

Hip hop makes for an easy scapegoat.
Anything the zionist-controlled entertainment industry can do to take the focus off of the true culprits is definitely "good for israel".
It's the bankers fault !

I got my rappers mixed up. I was wondering how Ice Cube could go from being so dark to being so pale.

I don't think so, Lod. He's hip to a lot of things most people never get. If you ask me, he's very wise to the Zionist grip on our country, and he's showing how quickly others (like black culture) are blamed for problems caused by war, dispensationalism, and the banks.
I dare you to watch the whole thing with the sound on, Lod.
The tip: blame me. He's basically saying, "Bring it on. But you're making fools of yourselves in the process."
It ain't about chivalry.
It's about dope lyrics and delivery
Imagine where this genre of music would be without the drug war, which we all oppose?

Have you heard much from Professor Griff of the group Public Enemy?
If not, they were an early hip hop group from New York, and far more political than gangsta. So much so that the "industry" started encouraging gangsta rap from the west coast to distract from PE's message.
I've met Griff. When it comes to zionism, he's on the same page as Eustace Mullins, Texe Marrs & Farrakhan. And not at all gangsta, he's straight edge and former military.
It's the bankers fault !

Thanks, Buzzrd, no I hadn't. Here's a Chuck-D interview:

He's on an Illuminati kick. It's appealing to his audience, I'm sure. The interview below is apparently from Buzz Saw TV, a Youtube-broadcast show called The Lip TV.
Buzzsaw is a weekly talk show hosted by Tyrel Ventura featuring Sean Stone, fresh from the truTV investigative program, "Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura," and Tabetha Wallace. Buzzsaw is raw, honest and unflinching, and reports the news stories that permeate the current of society, but are nowhere to be seen in mainstream media.
Sean Stone introduces and leads the discussion and Tyrell Ventura conducting most of the interview:

In the interview above he says he was speaking as a child when the controversy mentioned (described below) broke.
In a series of press conferences, Griffin was either fired, quit, or never left[clarification needed]. Def Jam co-founder Rick Rubin had already left the label by then; taking his place alongside Russell Simmons was Lyor Cohen, the son of Israeli immigrants who had run Rush Artists Management since 1985. Before the dust settled, Cohen claims to have arranged for a Holocaust Museum to give the band a private tour.
In an attempt to defuse the situation, Ridenhour first expressed an apology on his behalf, and fired Griffin soon thereafter. Griffin later rejoined the group, provoking more protests, causing Ridenhour to briefly disband the group. When Public Enemy reformed, due to increasing attention from the press and pressure from Def Jam hierarchy, Griffin was no longer with the band.
Griffin later publicly expressed remorse for his statements after a meeting with the National Holocaust Awareness Student Organization in 1990
From wikipedia.org/wiki/Professor_Griff
Here's some of his post-PE work from 1990:

Professor Griff states that this Grandmaster Flash song The Message was the start of consciousness hip hop. Remember this one? They heard about this coming out of Brooklyn and saw the hieroglyphics (graffiti) on the trains advertising the new form of expression.

We hear the Grandmaster Flash Message hook here.
Griff says that gangster rap came along just in time to distract audiences form the consciousness raising hip hop coming out of the east coast. ICE CUBE basically saying here don't pretend to be a criminal and rap.

Out on the west coast, seems that Ice Cube predicted the greedy terms of the agreement brought on by NWA's early management.

No Vaseline above samples this old school tip: Brick Dazz. "Almost hip hop."
