This is a great thread. However, as mentioned by others, the problem is much much bigger than just a Hyphy movement, hip hop, or anything of that nature.
We Americans do not value education in general. That is our Achilles heel, and will continue to be until some major education reform is put into play, (which, if done, will take at least a generation before any results will be seen). They Hyphy or hip hop culture did not produce this mind set, America did.
Until the masses realize that education is the great equalizer, the poor will remain that way, no matter what race. It's a mindset.
Of course, there are historical inequalities that exist, but to overcome these, education would be the great equalizer. Knowledge.
I hate to sound like g I joe cartoon, but knowledge is power. For some strange reason, it's cool to NOT do good in school. Why is that? HOw did it get that way? The government is not going to be the one to stop this by throwing money at the problem. The problem lies with the families, the parents, the actual people who are passing on these states of mind to the younger generations. And I don't give a fuck who you are, there is, sadly to say, NO solution to this problem. Or, rather, no realistic one in sight.
So I say, either you can try and gain some knowledge and know how about the world around you so you can get paid and live a more financially stable life. Or you can pop pills, and blow weed all day, sell sacks for poor ass profit margins and perpetuate this cycle of uselessness that is reality.
