Where are/were these private prisons located? Why would the government not want control of its own prisoners? With all of the money made on rap music (even back then), why would these investors be interested in the likes of government funding?
This is some straight up bullshit, imo; likely being dumped by the "rap music causes violence" crusaders.
No verification, no names = no validity, as far as I'm concerned.
Are you kidding? You don't know about private prisons?! It's HUGE business. Governments want $$$ and this saves them big money as well as some probable kick backs. They buy and build prisons and jails and then contract their 'services,' to the state or county, to run the facilities. Jeez, didn't you hear about the Pennsylvania judges who were taking kickbacks to send juveniles to these places? One kid committed suicide and his mother was on the news screaming at the judge.
Here's just one company and their facilities:

Not buying it. I don't believe a group of unidentified music industry professionals was solicited to proliferate rap music as a means to fill any prisons, private or otherwise. Where are THESE private prisons mentioned in the anonymous article located? What "decision making" position within what "music industry company" did the writer hold? Why are there no names and not one detail that can be verified in the on-line article you posted?
Sorry shitstorm, I respect your right to consider this a believable account, but it smells like pure bullshit to me. I like facts and substantiation before I buy into something posted anonymously on-line.
I actually agree with you about there being nothing to verify the veracity of the music industry article. I could be as he wrote it, could be partially true, or not true. For years, though, I have observed what I consider an obvious social engineering agenda with the filthy trash that gets peddled by the music industry. At the very least, their product is intended to debase the kids who listen to it and makes the industry enormous money.
You may have never known about the CIA being the cause of the explosion of crack cocaine, either, but that's exactly what happened. Just because you're unfamiliar with something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. When you hear something so outrageous, something that has such a big impact on the society that you live in, it benefits you to find out for yourself. Anything less is willful ignorance.
Why in the hell do you ask me where these private prisons are when I just gave you a fucking link, from one company, with the locations of their facilities? Open the link and look, ffs.
