The music label, YMCMB (Young Money Cash Money Billionaires) is a fascist organization.

"... Con has stated that even though an organization exhibits fascist behavior, they don't necessarily have to be fascist. This view point, however, is flawed. If a group possess the characteristics of any organization then I would say that it is appropriate to dub that group with the label of said organization, would one not agree? I do not see the reasoning behind con's logic. ..." (pro)The key word was "some". If you are to label an organization correctly, the organization should match the majority of that label's characteristics, or at least key characteristics. Especially when it is a label as serious as fascist. For example,"1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays."If you just went on this one characteristic then you could label St Patrick's Day as "fascist"."2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc."David Cameron of the Conservative party (center-right) has criticized Human Rights, but most people would not call him fascist. http://www.telegraph.co.uk..."3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc."Obama said U.S. and India are united against terrorism. Would you call Obama a fascist? http://www.rferl.org...[Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic]"...With this characteristics in mind, one can assume that YMCMB possess this fascist characteristic due to their excess patriotic nature encompasses their addiction with shouting 'YOUNG MONEY OVER EVERYTHING!" (pro)There are several problems with this argument. Firstly we are discussing a record label (although some disambiguation would be useful) not a country. Patriotism = "a devoted love, support, and defense of one's country; national loyalty." [A]. Which perhaps becomes "a devoted love, support, and defense of one's record label; company loyalty.". I agree that YMCMB are "company patriots". However, patriotism is far from fascism. In fact most hip-hop artists use self reference and self promotion in the lyrics. This down to hip-hop artists being fascist in general? I argue not. If you look at the history of it originates from poor black communities. The self promotion comes from knowing what its like to poor and fighting to be become rich [B]. Some hip-hop artists may not come from this background, but that is the history which has inform the culture's present. Further, many perhaps most corporations use advertising to promote themselves in a positive light and which in effect say "we are the best, our company over all others", are these companies fascist too?Secondly, "young money" is a concept as well as a reference to the organization. Young money means money you have made yourself rather than "old money" inherited from your parents.[A] http://dictionary.reference.com...[B] http://www.stanford.edu..."By listening to the songs mentioned above or any other song on the YMCMB roster, one will notice that there is a fixation with saying Young Money over and over again. This is a form of excessive nationalism which can be used to characterize YMCMB as fascists." (pro)How can it be nationalism when the claims are based on belonging to a company rather than a nation or nationality? Rather I would argue it is self promotion and lack of inspiration for lyrics. Maybe it could be tribalism, but again tribalism isn't equal to fascism. http://en.wikipedia.org..."Now I will be using #3 from my 14 Characteristics of Fascism which states "the people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe". This 'patriotic frenzy' in terms of YMCMB can be attributed to the labels excessive uses of "diss songs"-songs which are meant to slander those who oppose YMCMB. On the track 'It's Good' By Lil Wayne, Jadakiss, and Drake, Lil Waynes raps ""Talkin "bout baby money?/ I got your baby money/ Kidnap your b*tch, get that "how much you love your lady" money" as a diss towards Jay Z and his wife, Beyonce [4]. Then in another instance with the rapper Pusha T, Lil Wayne Tweeted to his 6 million Twitter fans "F*ck pusha T and everybody that love 'em" [5]. And then Lil Wayne went on a rampage against the basketball star, Lebron James and Dwayne Wade in which he was quote saying to rolling stone: ""Them n***** never speak to a n****, they don"t chuck me the deuce or nothing. N**** spent all that money on them f*cking tickets " Come holla at me. We sit right by them little b**ch-a** n*****. At least come ask me why I"m not rooting for you.[6]" As seen above, a member of the YMCMB roster always criticizes everything he doesn't' agree with and tries to get everyone to side with him against his distastes. They try to cause conflict. These are all characteristics of a fascist organization." (pro)Dis tracks along with self promotion are common part of hiphop culture. Dis track are good for attracting attention and getting free publicity. Characterist #3 states "Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause". What is the cause YMCMB are trying to unify people over? They aren't trying to get people to join their organisation, rather they are trying to sell records."And finally, my last reason for why I believe that YMCMB is a fascist organization; they are completely run by Lil Wayne. Many times, Lil Wayne is cited as the head of the organization and whatever he says, the members of YMCMB have to do what he wants, just like a fascist dictator." (pro)That is no different to many company managers. Also, if people don't like what he says they can leave and join another company or start their own."To summarize why I believe that YMCMB is a fascist organization:1. They are run by one person who calls all the shots -Lil Wayne2. They are excessively patriotic.3. They target everything that does not coincide with their own beliefs."(pro)Here's where I would like a little clarification. What is the entity "YMCMB" you refer to? Is it Young Money Entertainment an imprint (trading name) of Cash Money Records, both are distributed by Universal Music Group. Or is it the Young Money Group?http://en.wikipedia.org...http://en.wikipedia.org...http://en.wikipedia.org...http://answers.yahoo.com...
