that have become associated or synonomous w/ Black culture.
They are in no particular order...
Sagging pants Gang Affiliation Violence Misogyny Drug culture Thug mentality Extreme materialism Hyper masculinity Prison mentality
These prevalent themes in mainstream hip hop have changed the mind state of many young Black and Brown males (and females) in impoverished areas to the point that it's visibly noticeable in everything they do and say...they truly embody the music moreso than ever and that's scary. Whether art imitates life or life imitates art, it's painfully obvious that the art of mainstream hip hop is no longer that.
