In this country lets just be real: CONTROVERSY SELLS! That is indisputable since most of the shows people watch are centered around some sort of reality fake drama. When it comes to music we have more than enough controversy to go around in ALL genres. BUT just like socially black people have a far greater chance of dying violently then another group, our musicians and artist, especially in Hip Hop and now RnB have a great chance of having some sort of public beef. Don't get me wrong I know that there are beefs among other genres, Britany Spears has beefed with some of everyone, so has Limp Bizkit, Justin Beiber and more. The thing is when it comes to beef with BLACK musicians first it is always blasted all over media outlets, and second it has a greater chance of getting physical for real. In hip hop music beef is intertwined within the genre because 90% of the artist are from urban areas where violence is an everyday thing. It makes perfect sense that in a country where young black males have a high chance of dying by gunfire or doing a prison bid will in turn produce a genre of music that is laced with violence since hip hop is dominated by young black males. But seems lately even the supposed to be softer side of black music, the RnB side has become riddled with beef. Makes you pose these questions: 1) DO YOU THINK BLACK MUSICIANS TEND TO BE MORE VIOLENT THEN OTHERS 2) DO YOU THINK THE RAP/RnB GENRES MAKE IT SEEM LIKE WE CAN'T GET ALONG? 3) IS BEEF GOOD FOR RAP/RnB TO BOOST SALES? 4) WHAT DO YOU THINK OF CURRENT AND PAST BEEFS IN BLACK MUSIC
