i love rap man, i try to stay away from random freestyles..

yes!! me too =] those are my main songs





it does have real meaning..like eminem and mockingbird..hes rappin how hes always there for her and all..thats not meaning to u?? and yea SOME rappers do rap about the things u said but not all of them..i mean theres fabulous and other ppls..so..yes rap DOES have a meaning to it mann

I like tupac shakur, thas about it.

Rap isn't my favorite type of music, but i can listen to it. Some of it i really like too. lol but i have to be in the mood

yes i like rap but not crap.. 50 cents.. dat some wacko crap..

What Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and a few other rappers did to rap makes me sick. Rap used to actually be about something. But they turned it into something meaningless. There are still rappers that talk about things that matter though, and those are the ones i like.

i hate it
no rythme
bad lyrics
degrading towards women (hello, candy shop? is he f*cking serious?)

rock is the sh*t

people who dont like them are usually cuz of the lyrics, well...it depends on what you listen to cuz not all hip hop is on women sex gangster and money

take you to the candy shop
I'll let you lick the lollypop
Go 'head girl, don't you stop
Keep goin 'til you hit the spot (woah)

I'll take you to the candy shop
Boy one taste of what I got
I'll have you spending all you got
Keep going 'til you hit the spot (woah)

is it degrading if girls give someone head? girls have done it way before this song...i do it, does that mean i degrade myself?

[Verse 1: 50 Cent]
You can have it your way, how do you want it
You gon' back that thing up or should i push up on it
Temperature rising, okay lets go to the next level
Dance floor jam packed, hot as a teakettle
I'll break it down for you now, baby it's simple
If you be a nympho, I'll be a nympho
In the hotel or in the back of the rental
On the beach or in the park, it's whatever you into
Got the magic stick, I'm the love doctor
Have your friends teasin you 'bout how sprung I gotcha
Wanna show me how you work it baby, no problem
Get on top then get to bouncing round like a low rider
I'm a seasons vet when it come to this shit
After you work up a sweat you can play with the stick
I'm tryin to explain baby the best way I can
I melt in your mouth girl, not in your hands (ha ha) 

women can't embrace sex the way men can? why must there be a double standard? is it slutty for us to do these types of things? he's talking about one woman, it's not like she's a one night stand

QUOTE

[Verse 2: 50 Cent]
Give it to me baby, nice and slow
Climb on top, ride like you in the rodeo
You ain't never heard a sound like this before
Cause I ain't never put it down like this
Soon as I come through the door she get to pullin on my zipper
It's like it's a race who can get undressed quicker
Isn't it ironic how erotic it is to watch em in thongs
Had me thinking 'bout that ass after I'm gone
I touch the right spot at the right time
Lights on or lights off, she like it from behind
So seductive, you should see the way she wind
Her hips in slow-mo on the floor when we grind
As Long as she ain't stoppin, homie I aint stoppin
Drippin wet with sweat man its on and popping
All my champagne campaign, bottle after bottle its on
And we gon' sip til every bubble in the bottle is gone

women can't feel sexy? women can't be proud that their man thinks of them sexually during the day?

this song is not degrading to women

i like eminem and 50 cent and then thats it. i dont really like other rappers. i jsut like rap, rock, hard rock, heavy metal, hiphop

Women can feel sexy all they want. W00t for women.

But 50 is objectifying women. And if he did this once in a while, it would be ok. But he does it constantly. Why are we so obsessed with sex?

It's not degrading women?

Have you heard some of the mainstream stuff?

It's just bitches, hoes, club, car, pimpin, bitches, hoes, sex, club, gangsta, oh and did i mention, bitches and hoes?

blah, i don't want to have to look up all of the rap songs in question, but she mentioned candy shop and i didn't see anything degrading about it

Ok, you have your opinion.

But what pisses me off is its always the same shit over and over. mainstream rap has lost all meaning. Tupac was a fairly cool rapper. He talked about what he saw in his neighborhood, the struggle on the streets, the violence and ending it. If 50 did this then I would respect him a lot more. I mean, he needs to grow up. Ok, he knows about sex, i get it. So immature..

Rap is aight but sum rock lyk LP is ok 2...

50 cent ruined the rap game..yea he must b selling millions.. mos def,ti,talib kweli,kanye, and jay z and more.. der rap r good . and actually make sense .. 50 cent.. killed...

Most mainstream artists have so little or no talent whatsoever that they have to talk about sex, women, gangsta shit, money, etc. to sell records because for some reason, thats what the listeners like to hear. Artists such as these give the name of rap music a beating. Rap, just like any other form of music or art, does have a point, does have a meaning, and does take talent. Unfortunately, you have to search for it.

My point? Don't form opinions of rap music based on what is mainstream because this does not represent the essense of rap music. You can not fully appreciate it if you don't know who the good artists are.

Those who follow rap or hiphop music know what I'm talking about. For those of you who don't and are interested, try Mos Def, Common, Talib Kweli, Royce Da 5'9, De La Soul, The Roots, etc.

I don't like most rap, but there are a few songs... Like Toy Soldiers, Mockingbird, Lose Yourself, My Band, and How Come. Funny, all from the same person, and I can't stand anything else of his. XD


That is what I would like to know. Why is society so obsessed with sex?

i wont say i hate rap, but i will say i dislike it. why?

1 language
2 racial comments
3 derrogatory gestures
4 derrogatory comments made about women

yeah along wiht r&b and hip hop

yea i prefer realest-rap like talib kweli, mos def, etc
not the ones bout f-ing a grl all the time

i'm not too much of a "rock" person

Omg great minds think alike , hahaha. I was jut about to say absolutely that.Mos Def , Common , Kweli and the roots( MY FAV ) are the best. Add to that list K-Os and your set. All of these plus several other are some of the deepest and most devoted people in hiphop. They all flow about things that matter. It's pretty sorry how they dont get nearly as much recognition of there talents as to a 50 cent or a nelly.

now what is wrong with hip hop and r&b...?

IMO, there is a difference between rap and hip-hop. I despise hip-hop with every fiber of my being, but I like some rap. White boy rap that is, like The Beastie Boys. I don’t like the kind that talk about nothing but sex and drugs, you know, the mainstream stuff.

i listen to mostly rap
but i listen to everything else also besides Country

i love your third choice selection! i absolutely hate rap....hiphop can be okay but rap..is ridiculous no offense
