Better than Beats, but priced in the same neighborhood, so pretty expensive. I think the best artist-related headphones to come out were the Soul headphones by Luda. They didn't sell worth a damn, but they were great. They now have dropped Luda's affiliation and the prices have dropped big time.

Today I am turning back the clock with some Black Moon. Damn, they were a good group. Well, they had a hot album and hot B-sides.
This is correct, roc nation aviators are decent as well

I said it before and I will say it again I will drop major cash to see outkast live. Like Jay-Z concert money.... Also I think they both still got it, neither has fallen off based on what they have dropped recently so a new album could still be God Tier.

If it doesn't name names or i don't believe it.

I've heard this same type of story way too many times. Don't get me wrong Cointelpro does exist and I do think their is a influence in the music to push negative images because negative influences sells records (and nobody is complaining cause jailing criminals is big business with lobbyist as well). Hip Hop promotes negativity but the environment it comes from would still be negative as fuck without it. The idea that artist are picked to make negative music and promoted for that same reason seems a bit far fetched.

However, Hip Hop is at its core a mostly R rated form of entertainment. I do feel way to many people try to make it beyond entertainment into something that covers a complete "lifestyle" or a "culture" when what it really represents is american working poor (or just plain economically poor) life values. Rap displays the culture/lifestyle of the artist making the music. These artist tend to come from bad neighborhoods. If anything its a symptom of multiple factors in these bad neighborhoods that makes Hip Hops message so alluring. Number 1 being the amount of working class poverty around the United States. Idolizing making Cash and the way that that same cash can and if you make enough, will change your life makes sense when you look at where the artist are coming from.

Also something like what is written in that link makes music execs seem way to smart. These A&R executive motherfuckers are capitalist bruh, they aren't smart enough to have a hidden plot beyond getting money. Also in an industry where 99% of the artist make songs snitching on themselves (or trying to tie themselves to secret organizations that arguably don't exist). I doubt a meeting of that magnitude could happen and only be known from a chain letter sent to some blogs. If same A&R's could all make a dollar from yo gabba gabba type stuff they would be promoting the fuck out of puppets that could rap.

Also lastly, to counter this go listen to country music man, a lot of the better artist sing about the same depraved lower class morals rappers promote as well.

I say this shit all the time. There is literally no difference in the music's content between rap and country except (usually) the color of the skin of the artist.

Guns? Asses? Growing up poor? Struggle? How awesome is my vehicle? I like to drink and party?

Only when country music makes songs that's basically 'fuck the black man' they have to be more...subtle about it. http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/mcgraw-tim/back-when-13621.html
