It is common knowledge that the black community in America don't like talking to people about their mental health. It is even worse with gangster rappers who feel that showing emotions is weak. In his recent interview on The Breakfast Club show, California rapper, YG talked about how a certain Hollywood producer made him really understand mental health.
Read his words on this below...
"He is like a big producer. He f*cking produced on all the Hangovers and all that sh*t. He umm...Like he really got me on that mental health sh*t cos he got like a whole little organization and they umm...he believe in like rehabilitation and sh*t like that so he help a lot of people out that's in jail. Like he help lifers get out of jail that had life sentences and sh*t like that. You know what I'm saying, so umm, his whole things is like mental health and talking to people and all that...he tell me some sh*t like a man's brain is not fully developed until you are like 26...So he like, a lot of things that men do, like when you young, it's like you ain't even fully developed so you don't really know what you're doing. It's like, okay, I feel that. I hear you for sure.
He was talking to me just about mental health. I didn't really know what mental health was at first, and then he was just talking to me about it. He was just telling me like, yea, like, 'have you ever felt like you're a man so when you got through sh*t, you ain't got to talk to nobody about it, cos you a man?' And I'm like, 'hell yea. You ain't supposed to talk no m*therf&cker.' He like, 'nah, see that's the problem. That's the problem in the communities. Like, y'all ain't want to talk to nobody about nothing cos y'all feel like y'all are men so y'all got to deal with it. But that sh*t come and it f*ck up your mind, and your brain and how you're doing certain sh*t.' And I'm like, damn bro, like that's crazy. Like, that's facts. Like that's how it really happen."
That's so true. When you don't deal with mental health issues, it always comes back and haunts you. Facts.
