ATL star LaKeith Stanfield had some worlds for those who make gangster rap. On the heels of Migos member, Takeoffβs untimely death, Stanfield is tired of the βtoxicityβ of Hip-Hop culture.Β
βIf you are for gangster rap you canβt also be for Black,β Stanfield posted to social media. βThe dangerous toxicity associated with this glorified black serial killer and killed music and imagery got people thinking itβs cool to hurt those that look like them and ONLY them.β He continued, βItβs ok to embrace the realities of life in the harder areas but letβs think about NOT holding up this behavior in our circles. Letβs make it cool to embrace life, travel, and learn new things!β Stanfield says the behavior is βunderstandable after centuries of persecution and manipulation be we need to start somewhere.β βWe must stop holding self-destructive s__t up and embrace things that build us a whole so that we can lead the world in the direction of prosperity by example. Getting reckless now and again is part of who we are but for the most partβ¦ Turn that stupid s__t off.β
