"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.

there are things called paragraphs. use them.

Sorry PeteSVX, but I'm having this discussion at another forum, and someone already refuted my original anti rap statement much better than you did..... and I still destroyed him.

Check it out, it's an interesting yarn.

that's really funny. you must be pretty bored alot rob. i know you go around on one forum and tell people that their cars suck. then i guess you go to mac forum (from the link you posted) and tell them how you hate rap music. then you stop by subaru-svx.net and post that you hate rap again, etc (don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to make you stop or think that it's bad). how many more forums do you visit and make similiar posts? just curious.

and petesvx2

if you get rich and flaunt it, please don't be an a%% to people who aren't rich. not saying that you would, but i've gone to some upscale places where people at the next tables were just a$$es to the waiters or waitresses and at car washes where mr. benz would tell the people who work there (some hispanic) that they should go back to their country, blah, blah, blah. not a nice thing to do ya know.

Rob you certainly have the guts to stick your neck out and those replying should appreciate this and that you have provided an interesting topic for discussion. If it were not controversial it would not be interesting.

If everyone posting treats their adversary with respect an enjoyable debate will ensue. So far it is full of interest and I assure you young guys I fully understand the the issues presented. Your verbosity surely confirms that you are enjoying the thread and have been provoked into thought. That on its own is worthwhile.

To throw in my oldies opinion I would say that I have heard some artistic down to earth rap which is worth listening to but the stuff Rob is decrying spoils and has lowered the scene.

I was snickering when i was working backstage and the rap group was singing "Allright, everyone put your hands up!" Wonder how many people in the audience hear that on a regular basis.

It's called "working at an insurance company". I work part time, and I call people who applied for 'accidental death and dismemberment insurance' and then I have to tell them 'no, it isn't life insurance, it's accidental death and dismemberment insurance, hence the reason it is called accidental death and dismemberment insurance. Would you like me to cancel your policy? Alright, thank you for your time' and I have to do that all night, so inbetween calls I surf the web and find somethign to kill time.

Extreme boredom.

well, i'd say about 98% of it is. mad props to Dr. Seuss, the founder of rap!

petesvx2 · #26 09-09-2003, 11:00 AM

lol i still disagree, there's no bad blood, i guess i just now know how you feel when everyone craps on Neons.

"So now you have a triathlon that is subject to this testosterone bake-off between some gangsta rap kids and a borderline psychotic redneck with an obsession for wack automobiles. Great. Good thinking Ca$h"....that was a good one

Noir · #28 09-09-2003, 11:39 AM

apparently one man's trash is another man's gold.

I love rap music. Its mainly all I listen too..Two each his own. Its not even worth debating over since i'd be severly outnumbered. Sometimes I wonder why I like the SVX..I don't have anything in common with the other drivers..lol.
