of him on any of those stories as well as all that i fear of dates r t dot com is your place to go? my name is peter scott, that's all for me. but nicky aren't, we'll be here in 30 minutes to take you through and into the evening. thanks very much. the company, the ah, music has always been a an agent of change. however, a debate, whether that changes for the good or the bad, it's running the rap music industry, specifically the segment called gangster rap. i'm scott hughes, and this addition of 360 view, we're going to talk with rap music artist bryson gray about the woke nest of the industry. and whether it's an honest reflection of its audience. let's get started . ah,

find the mash judy at an elementary school and you've already checked us in march as a 2022 republican representative. ronnie, jackson grew much fire when he said kids are exposed to all kinds of horrible stuff nowadays. i think about the horrible stuff that they hear when they listen to rap music, the video games that they watch with all of this horrible violence. and he wasn't the only one who put the blame of the escalation of a violence in the streets of the united states on the rap music industry. in fact, since almost the beginning of the rise of rap and hip hop, critics have often tried to tie their jaundra to violent crime in the eighty's. one of the 1st targets was run dmc, who during the groups in 1986 rating hell tour, police and journalists, the blame is music for the violence occurring and towns that the group visited. this include a show in long beach, california in which a gang violence in the crowd also was largely blamed on rap, atlanta, robbers,

young thug, and gunner, were among 20 defendants charged with a georgias racketeer influence and corrupt organizations. act in may of 2022 with conspiracy and a street gang activity with prosecutors courting many of the rap artist lyrics as motivation for the violence being committed in the streets. even the current mayor of new york has been critical saying, we pulled trump off twitter for what he was spewing. adam said, yet we are allowing music and displaying of guns and violence. but is it vilifying a shon of music, just a scapegoat for the various problems society is facing? is a rap music just a reflection of these problems, which those in power actually refused to address or even have created rubber? bryson gray is a you 2 personnel in content creator who is recognized for publishing a conservative opinion pieces, christian faith, videos, and music on a self and self title channel. now as public support, a former president, donald trump, during his presidency, grew his music and his voice much attention,

especially following the release of let's go brandon, which went viral worldwide before this. however, bryson had a very long established career, even though he is only 31 years old in the music industry claim for, for me alongside artist $0.50 and many others. i figured if we're going to talk about the status of the rap music industry, why not get someone who's been a part of it for so many years, pricing great, thank you so much for joining us here on the 360 view. thank you so much for having me. ok, so let's talk about what is the current status of the rap music industry? once this is disgusting, murder, sex, violence, drug, you know, back and they used to be drug deal and that was being addicted until the drugs themselves, people like future and not as people you can say, like playboy, cardi. looking to see we've been tailed. they're hooked on their own drugs. so me flat out the magic and you know, but i wouldn't place the entire

a when say, gain culture and rapid tide of the mafia was doing the same thing that were trying to time. and there wasn't really music there unless you wanted to blame for everything that happened. exactly. so i wouldn't play around with that, but now you sort of have to and i'm used to cargo as an example. so i know a lot of the rappers from chicago and if you, if you talk to them, you know, gang was to be on the rose blocks, you know, some people people breaking the story rules. now it's not even that. now people just want to kill people, and if you talk to people from the gangs they will tell you i have multiple pockets with them. they say that people go up wanting to be known as a shooter or wanting to know the killer has nothing to do with drugs exists not care about drove have to see more about even drug dealers. my percent of them live . if you go to chicago as of modern and that's changed from prior from, from the eighty's and ninety's, it's a new, it's a new, as a new, very new world. and how does that help is that helping are hurting the culture in the area? of course is hurting it because you've got people that their whole goal in life is

to catch a body. you know, i'm saying and then that that culture is gonna have actually spread it. so i'm from high point north carolina. there's lillia, pays now to college real. so this is where the drill cultures are in. definition of drill is going to kill somebody that's, that's, that's was their lives here. drill music. there's actually music created with that it with that intention and purpose right now. yeah. publishers that are actually publishing it and you tube that's allowing that to be on their platform. yes, drill the other driven one, the most popular drivers. now as far as chicago went to the u. k. and i was new york agree with the new york grill is probably the most part of the full intention is just to motivate people to go kill or that you're talking about. you're going to go do it yourself or to brag about people you've already killed. yeah, if you look it up piper and wipe through us in florida and this is popular. yeah. and they're not being censored of everything in this world right now. it's being censored. i've political voices, this type of me. why not?

is it because it's an artistic form, right for speech? i'm so excited people like julio julio from florida mission of florida, israel. he made a song literally at the grave sites. his ops or opposition, a rival gang members. and he had their pictures dancing with their pictures because his, his side killed these people. i real keys. and then these kids mothers do interviews crying. you know, i'm sam or if you go back to chicago, robert and chief keith that everybody knows. he, papa rises been call smoking on toko and everybody about that white man, i'm sloping. we took a 15 year old kid from chicago. they got shot, healed him, gang, and took from the other from the other gang as a 15 year old kid, his mom, his mother does interviews also. so i really don't understand how deep is this goal . so this is what kid. listen, it's it. and that's why we're having shot this so people can understand because if

you don't understand, if you don't even have knowledge about it, then there's no way to create the solution for this. so then the question is, is this kind of music more of a reflection of society as it is? or do you think it's more shaping a molding society for the future? i've been give both, but i think one is more disrupt them, which is motive. aside for the future, as we say it, everybody knows the go for conservative, still think that the, the crime is a cargo cover drugs, right? so everybody know that usually we use the crime, it is tied to drove. this was not true anymore. now was really, i want to kill people from your gang, so i can go brag about it. and then it just, you know, back and forth with that. my mom from the whole instagram page dedicated to the real saying rom from. and everybody brags about who they killed, who they gave you and lives frame, and then a bright, you know, they mock the other person deaf. you know, i'm saying. and it's actually very demonic. we really start looking into was,

this is spreading out to florida. people in the u. k. if you go to the u. k. stabbings, when, when you k drill got popular and we've got new york, they're saying crime is going up that democratic marriage and brought up crime and going up is connecting directly to drill minute. now this has some, this has some evidence of being true versus saying from the pan gang told us how to rap music. can we say that? but now is crazy. okay, so then you look at what is happening in the streets, how our publishers getting away with actually promoting that. i mean, if they're going to hold a gun, manufacturers possibly responsible for mass gun shootings in schools. why are they not holding these music labels? these artists responsible if they can directly tie the 2 together. they're going to say freedom of speech and freedom of expression that they're going to say because the may of them are already tried to bands, room music. and then he decide, he decided not to, i mean you can band is type of music, but there, citing freedom of speech,

freedom of expression of saying thank service. say we look at the sort of mistake. we still have a man actually banners. right, right. yours, good band, but music actually is celebrating the killing or taking a life does not. i can literally show you 3 of my sergeant type in the you tube can't come up. what am i, what am i follows may have posted it unable to get away with it, but you can't, you won't see it on my account as a guy ban. you type in julio, folio cheat, keep out israel. so you can just closer up your mind and it will all be all you to right now. music video there. i bought a gang size and everything. wow. so there is this call for politicians to be held accountable for actions which some believe that are but inspired by this rhetoric. so we talked about the music label, but what about these rap artists? how to kind of like, what we're seeing down in georgia, that they are going to be held accountable legally for the actions which can be attributed to their lyrics. but will it even be enough? will it actually will people go, oh, you went to jail for a year? will that not possibly booster them? well, i don't think people can go to jail for their layers because sometimes wrappers lie,

right? but they're lazy, they're connecting the lyrics to the actual crime. they're committing popper now, the rappers who confessed crack so was that it actually isn't right. and like, i don't know like robert king bon, like a lot of his songs. he confessed us so much it all you would realize to confessed to it as he would understand the culture. right. so in those kinds of you connected, they should be punished for i think it's starting to happen. i think they tied king bond to like 6 murders. he's there now, but after that they had him like multiple different murders after the after they've already suffered the ultimate punishment for their music on that side of that music still lives on. i mean, you still have kids replaying the song. we're now repurposing the music from the eighty's and ninety's and beefing it up a little bit. that's just almost guaranteeing a long road of disaster. where is it headed? where is this going to what kind of culture is this going to ultimately result in

what we were saying? and now, like i said, the culture now is not drug dealer culture trying to make money, right? it is, let's go kill the opposition. mess it is all about killing, killing, killing, murder, murder, murder, murder, murder investigations. are you going to end up with? and that's what, that's what we see. that's what that's what's happening. so we have the culture is going to get worse. the houses are going to get, i don't know, maybe maybe the government goals a pairs like the movie or some, but i don't know, is it getting crazy bill? ok, so then let's look at what they call, what the communities doing about this themselves. obviously, people do not want continue people to continue to die within their community. why are we not seeing uprising against the music up against the people that are creating the people publish it? why are we seeing that from within? because obviously i don't think you're going to get that, that obviously the pressure from the outside is going to do no good. if anything, make it bigger. well, the people in their view of opportunity to get out of that mess with for, as they're not going to be that they don't really care because they do it as a way to get out of it. right. and this is of they,

they've actually done so that they build a way to get out of the outside. i don't even understand how deep it goes. i bet to half the stuff i just told you, probably like what the crap is. that is that i have teenagers even under. yeah. what of like a lot of who don't understand what actually is in this music. so now take 5 sing along with that song barely got not got pop. they want to have these are real people. they're just, you know, i'm saying so, so we're making it cool. that's a part of it. is it that, that does that not part of a bigger picture of manipulation of society? do you feel like, do you feel like now as much as rapp, ours are saying that they're trying to be free and they're trying to express themselves that they're actually a part of a bigger manipulation game to actually continue to devastated community. yes. how much money been going into promoting the songs every song? i'm just on my i'm, there's not a song you hear and this is the best artist to a record label. you do not hear a song from them that doesn't have a budget behind it. depend on the art is the big one, a budget, but

a lot of times i got a friend who saw him go, they paid $250000.00. and so one song just to make that happen, i said ok. so there's money involved, all the money going back into the committee. why are we, why are we seeing some of these artists they might want to get out of it? why aren't they coming back into the and putting some of there is some of the well, i mean they were inspired by their lifestyle growing up by their community growing up. why are they putting that money back in to try to make it better? all the celebrities i'm, i've never wanted to any of these who seen a black person on one of the gas stations in area metal? never the person else on the why not? that's the question. why not? i see that there was an answer. i don't know. so then where are your churches, your, you said the mothers are doing the interviews in your right? where are the churches, where are those businesses? why is it more of an outcry against this type of violence and being promoted by this music? i'm sorry, sort of embraces a lives based on the braves the music per se, but the churches, worley, now the churches such as water down,

nobody is preaching the true. nobody is saying, listen, if you continue that has power you are going to have as i was being told in the churches present. my reason, even though that's was in the bible, go to revelation. revelation 218. you can go to mapping 24 and tell you the where's you go to thank you 31819. which tells you is our job to one of these people that turn on. bring up the bible. no more is all love, love, love. you can do whatever you want, go cube that the people you want to have in any way, you know, and as the issue as i get it, ok. so ultimately this comes down. some would say wrap is just a form of art, therefore, should be held to a different scanner or has wrapped me should become activism and thus should be protected as a form of speech. how do you view the industry right now? i do believe it should be music period, not just wrap, should be protected under free speech, but it has to be applied equally. so, perfect example, spotify has been 3 of my songs. but all is all about all the bellevue, they're all still up. so you're saying it's not about money you're selling. could

have just as many downloads as a key. so we've learned it can be famous. yeah. so it's not about the dollars more about the message involved in the message of all one message. they like to be helping develop again, i'm independent. the label that person is demonic stuff on people. with that, with that paper, when you see someone in spite of the playlist i can get as bob bob way there's an impossible, even though i'm a secular music independent, it's kind of impossible. yeah. to be with the labels. the mallows pereta continue this conversation with artist and bryce in gray right after this break. and we're going to ask the role of the wrap industry and religious circles. i want to expand on that. we'll be right back. the ah,

it's done with lord street one and 2 were destroyed by great britain is a tremendous opportunity to once and for all remove the dependence on russian energy. the war in ukraine is all the mistakes were made, and i have been elected as a leader of my party, angel prime minister in poland to fix them from the face. the highest taxation sit still this year alone. we have provided 2300000000 pounds of military support, and we will do the same again next year. i need to because i have to wait with a

watch and it was a year in this country. if i give but money and us store in the shall, shorter one and this day, let's look at ame scan. you know, one on union, one back with a finance national z m. let's just shine you did it. did you buy when you get on with that? buy mia? hello, we're back with bryce in gray, who before his song, let's go. brandon went viral. he took the stage with well known artist rap artist like that he sent and others and wants to continue this conversation about the rap music industry is getting a bad rap per se. we talk about social platforms, tick, tock, youtube, others. some i look at it either way,

you don't like it go somewhere else. is that the right way to handle if would there be enough notification of people like yourself took your voice off these platforms? or is it better to try to grow, that sort of influencing those sort of the positive side on things like take top and spotify and others? i'd like to have to do both for my flight. one of the n go should be trading in parallel economy. because probably rappel i'm want you to write. but last year i spent what the entire, almost the entire year with 2 strikes on my channel. you know, after one more who happens, you're done, you're done. i don't even curse. was that medical information hate speech being made so it's not fair and i feel like we're, we're not even playing the game. we're just getting controlled in the game that we're trying to work. and we're trying to work within the game that we're not even, we don't even control. so i do that. we should create unparalleled economies all

the time. you have to. so i think we should do both. and that's, that's out of the positive right. reason that would be able to do that. i know you're trying to grow other rap artists that are alongside you in the message that you want to send writing this is this has a little perplexed because the black thing is always been known. there is a one thing to have a strong spiritual foundation. you listen to some of the top work for the artist today, and they are a far cry from the principles taught by any major religion. religion, not just today, christian values, the promotion of sex, violence and drugs are often theme. so where is this disconnect? and when did it happen? who's behind it bothers? there's not a lot of fathers in home. i'm not loving bang to god. i go from my parents, but they're the father's in a home. so a father gave the you know how this person back kind of has a virtual, but the father gives a strong hand. and i know there's a lot of, you know, good single mother's out there, but a woman can't give a man a strong hand. it just, it just, it just is,

there's not the god created. palms where you don't have that, that already trace an imbalance in the child. so when the child grow up, now if you're single mother, no, no, father home, you can't homeschool. right? you probably can't afford private school. you want to public school? i mean, i went to public school every bad thing i ever learned in my life. i learned in public school. there's no. so that's what you learn everything. that's what you're all about. a teachers phone about a culture of the culture is there. and in that school whereby the adjustments are way, you know, as rap music is proper, you know, going on. so that's want to entertainment all play the part of everybody. everybody is being influenced my, the entertainment. and then you're being influenced by everybody around you who have one by the entertainment. and that's what a culture comes from. bass, a disconnect because we can search is pop or i'm wildlife. well, you know, i'm saying it probably more well attended. i mean, every sunday morning it's still there, there. and even during cove it, i think there was still packed houses where other churches are seeing definitely

a decline in membership and audience. you're not seeing that and yet you have this, but i find it really curious cuz i've never heard somebody not say it's what you said. that's always the fathers, it's a black. where are they going? why are we not strengthening? why? why is that? still? it's not just our generation, the generation before us as the same. so why, why they're not doing a better job of getting the fathers back into the households? if that is seem to be such a major issue that is causing these problems, i'm give you reason. i'm giving me other reasons, but one of them is because if you, if you're living off the government and you have a man in a home, you've taken off that literally happened to. so literally the government is this is a literally disenchanted rise. it is the sin, devising people to have a father in the home. there's a correlation, isn't always equal, call equal causation. but should be interesting. if you look up when this country introduce full scale welfare and looked up when the the thing motherhood raced on arriving now in the black community everywhere. we mainly in the back room anyway.

when you look at that, it's a very interesting time. coral correlation there. yeah. okay, it's exactly like the numbers are exactly the same. yes. so i mean, then outside of that it's, you know, seen for an occasion. everybody knows of you have surgical, but there's a get somebody pregnant. there's this like, you know, one on one life, you know, and so it's cool to sexualize everything like when i was in 9th grade my entire goals and not be a version anymore. you know, i, that's, that's what was cool. he was a very you was lane, you know, i'm saying so we, you're promoting sanity and condoning san. that's going to lead to more single mother. only the last father isn't a home because you didn't want to have this baby with this person and everybody is selfish. because in not is stacy me, me, me, me, me culture of all that happens in his, in his world. me, me, me, me, me. yeah. yeah. i know i have sex which maybe i could potentially have a child, but that's out my rule and my life. not been the decision i made it ruined it. thanks. but his child, the child rhonda is, well i need to get. we got to go kill the baby. you know i'm saying so is to me me,

me, me, me culture. that's ruining everything in his country. you know, and is rap music encourage that, does that? i don't for everybody together because you are known as a christian. conservative rapp orders and you attribute your own music success because your music is well written and has a great b direct competitor, the mainstream. could rap music industry ever be overtaken? it may popular by a majority of artists like yourself, especially if they're trying to get away from me. me, me, culture. it could be if a lot of critical, sorry to stand up and make it was, so can we prove that? well, let's go branding. i mean, it's not as rap music, pop music is all about sex, even country, modern country music about sex and shrug from getting drunk. i mean, all the java rock music a lot of times about doing allison outsourcing music. any music, same thing, getting drunk every time. so all this stuff leaves the saying why rab culture got that and murder it consistently don't. and the reason why because this is human

nature because we have to work harder to make something like that happen because we're censor, you know, i'm saying we don't have the buddies so we can't put it in front of your face virus, you know, saying you sort of have a seek it out. it's gonna be hard, but i mean, we proven we can, we can do it. has the rap music industry been as affected by the woke movement as all of the other john ross of art today? yes, i'd like to start a little late, but man, is it happening? bass? people forget like less than 10 years ago. eminem was literally 3 in the drain in the community has music. right. and it's funny and funny and nobody people got mad like even a been care. he would come back 10 times harder. you don't plan to do that today. oh, heck. now when he came out on the job, you know it's over. that's what we're going to have have got into with a lot of rappers paying their nails like kid cutting nicely rappers and dresses. plenty, you know, the look at the not were received really by foreign crap isn't when he dresses and

pain and nail big laugh and the comments section because like, you all know, we all for a while for i will do that. it was an of course i person, and now my for us on the lineal it wasn't. and now to normalize, before the young coming up, the end of coming up, they don't care. they listen, we're car to listen to me. i'm way his pain and they listen to what he dresses on all of the all know that listen a little gnostics and say nobody industry say lou and i there's nobody is working. i'm wondering, am i going to go? yeah, i think you do that from spring to my question because there is a satanic panic that's going on amongst a lot of called a lot of the suburbs say, but also probably a lot of money. a lot of cultures could it's happening in pop culture. you see that will not accept blood tennis shoes. sam smith, that is grammy performance. and is it just targeting just the gay artist or is there justification for this alarm? it was all john was right now that you feel like there's more satanism in today's

music and possibly in music before hours for sure and all jowers. it's just, it's been and gone for a while, but, but now as, as being more so in popular genre. so you've got pop meal, the rat. yeah. are be nice. i see a more so in there. and the reason why i think everybody has their experience berry's mom. they're trying to openly mock christianity. and now i think the whole goal is to it's marked the baby because they already got the culture. now them, they're just trying to do more last people of faith. so so, so we don't be both with christianity. i mean, we find that people with judaism muslim bay, there are still these common principles that all faith do share the principles. yes . but as we seen with people my whole name, if you say something about, you know, mark judy is on or jews, even max, secular jews. we see what happens with that. there is backlash on that. so if you not, if you might, muslims, muslims won't pop out. but what about the principles that come out?

why in the muslims will be able to speak out? probably more and more emboldened necessarily. christians are right now. christians just going by the cd. i can tell you why, because muslim, they get tall from their book. so most of them are obedient and muslims are more, are more into their faith and christians are christian. i me. and i've had time to count at different trying to christen in a worldly person, right. what a muslim you can easily tell a difference. so the study followed, but that's why bales that out. they put some stuff like that they try to before to push the eligibility in a muslim school who they had, they had to change it within a week. then what that all about that we played, we play about it. no, i'm saying it was different and still trying to get along. okay, so in the future, where does the rap music industry go? do you have high optimism that your type of music that you'll see a rebellion in this next generation. they're tired of dying in the streets, they're tired, they're politicians are condemning it. do you think you possibly we could the revival or rebellion take what you want. yes, from what's going on today? yes, i mean, could you start to see i see a lot more art as like myself coming out zone is a lot more biblical. are coming out to have chris noticed that due to lovey dubey,

no guy loves everyone. i got a new car because a guy, you know, q a must have the wrong way to rise cute, but you start to see more biblical chris and not as come out and give you their wrath of god to that's an bible to everybody forget about. so you start to see and i, big a rebellion is happening. what will it completely take over? it'll be a battle we'll see to battle like every it out that we're dealing right now with every other we know go in and a or we're going to suffer revelation price and gray, greatest equity thinks dirani. i just. and i'm going out here, this is when you're 360 of you, i wonder, is affecting you. thanks for watching. ah, a neutrality is one of the most flexible concepts and international relations that you can imagine, which is why it's so useful,

but why it is so inherently difficult to grasp. so that the chance is we have country spill it with the meaning that is useful to them and hopefully to, to all this because this core, it means i'm not taking decide of either of these completely, ah ah ah

ah ah, south africa designed to quit the international criminal court, that's according to the country to president, to announce the b. i fi if she didn't arrest warrant for vladimir. oh, so now with dozens of dead power, military fighters in the street following report to the bank with the sudanese army as violently in the country ray to pen days, thousands of civilians and foreign nationals with russia. defense minister, a host focused a rainy and n.
