Very interesting! Yea I have a hard time buying a white dude from NH does anything in the rap world.

Let alone one with an anti-Christ face tattoo and family connections to the Clintons, right?

very sketch

You realize how common both those things are... right? I mean, yes it's disheartening but definitely the norm

There were 62 people granted clemency by Clinton in 2000. How many others have children that get written about in Rolling Stone? Is it really that common?

In music, political connections are extremely common.

And "Anti-Christ" imagery is literally everywhere in the music scene....

I don't disagree that anti Christ imagery is everywhere in the music scene. I clearly believe the music industry at large can be used for social engineering.

I hadn't really noticed much of this imagery in hip hop until rather recently. Seems like it's part of the new wave though. Adam22, Suicideboys, Lil Uzi, XXX, etc

Nahhh, this imagery has been a vital part of hiphop for years and years.....

Vital how?

Tupac had a Cross tattooed on his back and the origination of the Jesus piece is attributed to Christopher Wallace (The Notorious B.I.G.) and his jeweler Tito Caicedo. 

You don't even believe in Jesus, why you got a Jesus piece?

It's exactly what your pointing out from adam22 but used differently. I would regurgitate all the info here if I had the time.

The anti war movement got muddled in the minds of the people with the hippy movement. Those who were anti war were suddenly thrown into an environment that was also pro debauchery. Regardless of the pros and cons of that; the rest of the people started to associate muddy naked hippies with the words anti-war.

Have you noticed an increase in the popularity of mumbling soundcloud rappers? Hip hop artists are becoming less lyrical and the content of their songs are no longer really important. I don't think this is entirely coincidental. I think it is partially engineered.

Ding ding ding! Ironically enough my brother has just started writing music seriously. I used to write and freestyle a lot, but have gotten away from it in recent years. One of my best friends who I've known my whole life is a huge hip hop head. I listen to basically only hip hop, and my friend has been the one who has always turned me on to new artists. He and I actually had the conversation the other day about the pathetically untalented mumble rappers that are so popular now. A good artists IMO is Witt lowery. Relatively new artist who talks about the mumble rappers. I definitely agree there is a correlation between the total fall of hip hop (IMO) and whoever is running the show wanting to grab the minds of listeners. Sorry this is scatterbrained, there's so much I want to say on the subject. But I think you're absolutely right.

I think the internet has kinda removed the need for a rapper to be some a "hip hop scene" but this dude just seems like an edgelord tbh.

Pearl clutching about rappers is very 90s.

You don't find his family connections interesting? Bill Clinton pardoned this guy's Father and now he's the leader in finding new hip hop. Most of the shit he promotes can be linked to destruction of morality in the youth and the breakdown of the family unit.

He had an 8 year old on his podcast while the child's father used marijuana and opiates.

I mean, interesting in that nepotism/old money probably helped him out. Drug stuff doesn't interest me, he could be drinking a beer just as easily.

You're as critical of rock music that's popularized all the same shit 'degenerousness' as rap right?

You think Xanax is the same as a beer? What about lean? Those are hard drugs.

I agree with you if you mean weed, but dude literally has videos of himself hanging out with teenagers who are out of their minds high on benzodiazepines.

I don't really care what people put in there own bodies. Lean is the absolute weakest opiate you can consume, it never made sense to me why it got popular.

I never defended this dude...he's a moron. But internet rappers don't seem like a biggest vector for childhood destruction. That's obviously youtube star fandom.

His target audience is teenagera.

Most of today's biggest rappers are famous from the internet. See: XXXtentacion, lil yachty, lil Uzi, even Chance.

Yeah, Chance is a good comparison too - his old man worked for Obama. XXXtentacion isn't popular mainstream. Uzi and Yachty are.

I mean, the arguments you're making have been made before. Tipper Gore was all about music censorship "for the children!".

XXXtentacion is definitely mainstream.

Onfroy released his debut album, 17, on August 25, 2017. The album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200.

Well good for him, I think he sucks but taste is subjective.

People have bitched about music perverting kids forever - Judas Priest, Eminem, Marilyn Manson. It's pearl clutching, "oh god won't someone think of the children?!"

You are on the conspiracy sub. You are familiar with Operation Mockingbird, right? The CIA has literally admitted that they put people in entertainment/media to influence public opinion. There are a variety of sources online that can show films and TV shows that have received direct CIA funding or censorship.

Podcasts are just the new wave.

I know I'm on a conspiracy sub and CIA conspiracies are my favorite. An edgelord rapper talking about drugs and shit seems pretty standard for today, and pretty much all of music. Stuff like the heroin epidemic in America (and in NH where he's from) isn't due to people sipping lean, its over prescription of opiates from doctors.

" It is a matter of public record that the Pentagon has had an entertainment liaison office since 1948. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) established a similar position in 1996."

With Holywood's popularity in decline, I believe CIA may be targeting podcasts now.

I believe that completely, I've long thought Joe Rogan was a limited hangout.

Here to say I dont think his fathers involvement with the Clintons had anything to do with his upcoming. I been watching this guy since the beginning. You can see how he got to where he is at by just watching all his videos. Like some guy said above me he is just a edge lord and uses this as his "niche" if you ask me.

I've heard a lot about the dude. Started as a fan of his podcast, but the more I saw the more I felt him pushing a weird postmodern agenda.

I've never heard him mention his father's political connections either, but on the Taxstone interview he does discuss his father being sent to prison for fraud. Same interview he also claims Nashua NH is a Boston suburb and about 30 mins from the city. It's way further away.

He talks about having 6 figures under his mattress from scamming and that was what allowed his come up. I'm not sure I believe him. Question his authenticity.

You are literally out of your mind. I've known adam forever and every assumption you have is wrong.

Also...Nashua is 20 minutes from Boston you lazy ignorant fuck.

How in the fuck is it 20 mins away? What possible directions could you take? Lowell isn't Boston. You know that, right?

It's weak so you can drink it all day lol.

It's killing lil wayne, i hope he stops

He doesn’t find new hip hop tbh. Everyone who’s on there already has a following he’s more of just a band wagoner. I mean he finds them before major labels do but so do lots of other people only difference is he has a big following online

CULTURE VULTURE

Idk how he's considered "VERY" popular. I listen to hiphop almost exclusively and browse related subs and this is the first I've seen anything about him

He gets hundred of thousands of views on interviews with many of the most popular members of the hip hop community. Andrew Shulz, Taxstone, Rosenberg, XXXTENTACION, lil yachty, SKI MASK, Matt Ox, Suicideboys, Ian Connor, Action Bronson, Smoke Purpp, etc

Yeah i see that now, I just figured I was more up to date

Do you not use YouTube?

The upside down cross is a Catholic symbol. 🙄

You understand symbolic meanings can change right? The swastika was an ancient religious icon that was used in many parts of the world as a sacred symbol of spiritual principles before it was used by Nazis.

The upside down cross is still used by the Catholic Church. So you know. Also I've never heard of your little target here, listen to lots of hip hop. So yeah.

I'm not saying that isn't true.

Just saying that much like the swastika or a shamrock in prison, this symbol is used by a specific population to represent something other than the symbols original meaning.

That tattoo is definitely an expression of Adam22's atheist ideology. He doesn't have a Catholic tattoo.

He's an idiot for it though. Any atheist that uses an upside down cross is just dumb. The symbol is still catholic and most atheists won't use it because they know it. He's just some "edgy" douchebag.

Hard to disagree with that.

Not to disagree with your point but you do realize an upside down cross is a sign of humility?

Peter didn't feel worthy being crucified in the same way Jesus did and requested to be crucified upside down.

While that may be correct, there are many examples of that symbol being used as an anti-Christ one. This appears to be one of those cases.

Never heard of this guy and I listen to rap.

Now there is definitely an agenda with rap. Rap nowadays I think is about getting more kids hooked on opiates. Like I said a few days ago, mumble rap is that but the product placement is always clear.

If a hit song has a chorus that names a popular pharmaceutical by name, at what point does it stop being art and start being a commercial ?

"Percocet, Molly, Percocet"

The moment the rapper signs his soul away for a deal.

Nah don't think about that, just keep sipping lean, don't worry about the shakes or that that deathly feeling when you can't afford a bottle or fake a hard enough cough.

Don't worry though, it's hella easy to get :)

Be careful, you might strain your shoulder reaching. In all seriousness, adam22 is a great networker and is incredibly smart. That's why he's successful.

He's an uber douche

A lot of ppl in the industry are. Doesn't mean his success isn't his own.

What kind of agenda is adam22 pushing lol? Drugs & sex have been in hip hop before adam22 even had a podcast.

Nashua and Manchester NH are very large melting pots of low income. NH is on the rise as a heroin den. It's crazy how prominent it has become as of late, dirt cheap too.

You don't find his family connections interesting? Bill Clinton pardoned this guy's Father and now he's the leader in finding new hip hop. Most of the shit he promotes can be linked to destruction of morality in the youth and the breakdown of the family unit.

Drugs and sex are fun, but shouldn't be publicized and normalized by pop culture.

As long as you are aware that intelligence agencies DO use their funding of entertainment outlets to help shape public opinion.

That's true, all it takes is a little encouragement. In the 60s the cia warped the counterculture to poison the well of the anti war movement.

I would recommend checking this link out if you've got the time. Lots of son's and daughters of high ranking militarily members end up being platinum stars boasted by the radio incessantly.
