I have to write a speech for my Public Speaking class, and I'm writing about stereotypes. One of my topics is how rap isn't all about sex, drugs, pimps, drinking, clubbing, etc. I need an example, but I don't listen to rap, so I'm hoping somebody could help me out and give me an example of a rap song that doesn't have to do with the aforementioned topics. Also, make sure you tell me what the song is dealing with. If you can help me, thanks a bundle!

So why does every Rapper that picks up a mic today have to have street credibility. I know rap wasn't started from vulgar language and pistol popping so why has it evolved into what it has become today.

I know rap wasn't started from vulgar language and pistol popping so why has it evolved into what it has become today.  It all started with NWA... They were successful in a time that hip hp wasn't succeeding... So the MACHINE says, this works... So everyone they signed needed to be from some sort of struggle and be "gangsta"... Remember, even Vanilla Ice was portrayed by his label as a kid from a "hood"... it started from NWA's bein' one of the most successful early on...................... |
