This book describes the devastating effects of Rap Music and especially Gangsta Rap and its culture on the Indigenous American community. It connects the dangerous and violent mindset of many rappers to generational pathology caused in part by centuries of racism perpetrated on the indigenous population. The music is called Willie Lynch after a British slave owner who allegedly outlined in 1721 strategies to break the slaves and keep them under control. The techniques were savage and physically, and psychologically destructive. He assured the other slave owners that the effects would be generational, lasting for centuries and maybe even thousands of years. These effects of programmed self-hatred are being played out every day among Rappers who are given hundreds of thousands of dollars by music industry owners to perform music that promotes some of the worst and most dangerous aspects of society.
