Well....I am a fan of rap music! so ha , none of the commercial bull crap that is out today though, mostly old school original stuff. the things that people are sampling now. i.e. tupac, the lost boyz, the firm etc. now i know rob is a little biast lol, but the only thing he listens to are all the nigga's *****es and ho remarks, theres more to most songs than just that. i know this is a pointless defence because you're just gonna come back at me saying how stupid these ppl are because they have money and they flaunt it and how they have half naked women running around all the time and you dont, but for the most part, they went from rags to riches, and if they suck so bad, where do the riches come from? all a techno song is is a loud bass...thud thud thud thud, and some miscellaneous tings and tangs and big bangs and what not, how does that take anymore talent then writing a rap song? rappers have to flow with the beat to be good, have lyrics that make sense, and just stand out above the rest. id like to see you write a verse that sounds like it flows and have it make sense. so before you start saying how much you hate something, think about what other ppl think, because i guarantee you there's always gonna be someone on the other side of the fence. and yes there are alot of douche bags who think that they are thugged out in the suburbs, and thats why alot of ppl dont even bother trying to be open minded about things. i think that may be you're problem, you see things on tv, the stupid garbage that is put out to the masses, all the bling and the catchy tunes, you dont listen to the real artists, like the roots, talib kweli, pharoah monch, mos def, and tupac. obviously tupac had an effect on someone because on the anniversary of his death...this sunday, there will be candle light vigils all across the world. from the USA to Austrailia to Nigeria. so dont say that ppl arent touched by what these people say. tupac didnt rap about *****es hos drugs and cars, he rapped about real problems in this country, racism, ignorance, womens rights, poverty, and troubles that he encountered growing up. sure there's some vulgar language, but if you grew up in the projects i doubt you would be saying please and thank you all the time. you'd be scrounging enough money to eat lunch that day. i hate when people hate on something they have no clue about. if you dont have decent reasoning behind what you're saying then dont say it, because i can and will prove you wrong on this one. sure its to each his own, and im not trying to start an argument over this, but you have no idea what you're talking about. youre only argument is the language that they use. thats about it. you obviously have never listened to anything other than whats on MTV or whats on the radio (except J5 they kick ass) but other than that, idk if you really know what you're talking about. "I hate what it is doing, saying, and becoming." what is it doing? what is it becoming? if you think nelly is a "gangsta" then you obviously are clueless. and if someone can afford a 1.5 million dollar necklace then they must be doing something right huh?
if i had money id flaunt it too, and im sure if you had that much money you'd roll around in some crazy ass expensive car acting like ur hot ****, so dont hate on ppl because they're something youre not.
i cant wait to see your reply "well they are disrespectful" every kind of music is going to be disrespectful for someone. theres always someone in rock music pissing someone off for something. i.e. marilyn manson or something like that, so im prepared to argue this one out.
