Are rappers and drug dealers just alike? The answer is Yes!

Drug dealers are criticized for their disregard for the destruction done in communities while drug money is earned. Sometimes the payoff is big, but in most cases, selling drugs leaves the drug dealers as broke as a hustler who has done his or her part to tear down the community. The same applies to many rappers.

Guys become drug dealers in an effort to get money, power and girls. Drug dealers go out of their way to buy symbols of success like cars, jewelry, and clothes, just to show others that they are finally making money. The same applies to many rappers.

The real people who are making serious money are the ones who control the distribution. They are the suppliers of the drugs. The foot soldiers, or local drug dealers, will never see the level of earnings they are chasing. The same applies to many rappers.

We will never end the war on drugs as long as society focuses on arresting the foot soldiers, rather than the major suppliers and distributors of drugs. The same goes for destructive music. We will never end the negative and destructive music that is seducing our children into participating in destructive behavior if no pressure is put on the labels who control these artists.

Who do you think really controls the content of the music that’s released? It’s rarely the rapper.
