What was said
"They also had a big influence on gangster rap. Big influence on promoting gangster rap for sure. 100% proven. 100%. Yeah. 100%. They wanted to fill prisons. After 1992, they was like, 'No more positive rap.' We don't want no more De La Soul. We don't want no more Tribe Called Quest. We need this to be divisive."
Joe Rogan and Ali Siddiq discussed how the CIA allegedly promoted gangster rap after 1992 to fill prisons, deliberately suppressing positive hip-hop artists like De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest. Siddiq described how the music industry shifted away from conscious rap toward violent content in a coordinated fashion. Both agreed this was part of a broader pattern of government social manipulation.
