THIS IS A CREATEBLOG PUBLIC SERVICE SPEECH. I REPEAT, THIS IS A CREATEBLOG PUBLIC SERVICE SPEECH. NON HIP HOP FANS FEEL FREE TO COMPLAIN AND POST BS THAT AREN'T EVEN TRUE!!

as you can see, hip hop didn't start out with "laffy taffy" and "snapping your fingers, doing your 2-step" ... Hip Hop isn't just hoes, money and drugs.... it's political, real, violent, hardcore, full of truth and the soundtrack to so many ppl's lives...Rappers shouldn't be disrespected, they should be look upon to. To understand how they struggled back in the day, understand what they fought through, understand their pain, understand the meaning in the lyrics with all your heart, and understand what they do and how they live. it's like experiencing new things through lyrics like if you went out and discovered some new interesting shit. if you don't understand it or can't relate to it, fine, but don't disrespect that art form... I dont understand Country music at all but believe me, I dont disrespect it in any way shape or form... I dont mind Carrie Underwood, Garth Brooks, Tim Mcgraw or Brooks and Dunn.. but I never listen to Country music on my own.... but I don't hate on Country ever...but I'd rather turn down country and choose hip hop music cuz the music is stronger. you guys feel me? the truth is, everybody talks about violence in Hip Hop, the government calls out Hip Hop for violence and degrading women, but are the same losers trying to fight a war over NOTHING!!! and they say nothing about the things that kids can see in a movie or on TV, they single out and blame Hip Hop for violence, but I have seen Horror Movies with more blood and actual violence than any rap song can describe... get the fuk outta here with that Hip Hop is bad crap... Hip Hop is an art form!!!! i'm an asian that supports hip hop to the fullest!!!! got complaints??? post 'em here or support it with me!!!

hip hop is not life for everyone cuz people may not like or appreciate the lifestyles of hip hop ... but usually those are ones who think of it on a negative way and manner like gang violence, mugging, and murdering ... in those categories

Hip hop isn't life for me, but I don't think of hip hop in a negative way at all.

But most of y'all fellas do. Two words. Hip Hop. What could it mean to a lot of people? First thing they might mention is hmm perhaps, rap music. That'll lead to the people's thoughts of rap music which would be mostly negative (trust me, I know rap is the most hated and controversial music in our country today) and they'll bash the culture of hip hop just from looking at the RAP MUSIC itself. Why? Rap is like hip hop's son. rap came from hip hop. Like I said, if people learn to strongly feel the lyrics in rap music, they'll give a bit of respect to it. But they just can't do it and it's usually the ignorant.

Well,you're giving so much credit and love to hip hop saying all this great stuff about it.Then you undermine country music as if it wasn't as strong.You say most people think of Hip hop in a negative way but for example people hear country music and in a flash they think red necks and I say that in a subliminal way,not directed to you since I do not know how you're mind functions on that genre of music.Maybe you should learn to feel the lyrics in any other type of genre of music before saying hip hop this hip hop that.

I'll admit I used think of hip hop in a negative way being as you said rap came from hip hop.I dislike both because in the videos now all they talk about is getting money,talking bout hoe's riding their d-ck,or saying I got shot.I know not all rap or hip hop or what ever songs talk about that.But if that's how people see it that's how they are going to judge it.

Cuz by just looking at it, you know hip hop artists deal with a lot of different areas in their lyrics. pain. what they struggled through in negative ways. how they re-act to certain shit that goes off. politics. violence. letting their emotions out on the mic. so many different things. it just has more in store for the audience than country. you know without even having to understand the music of country and such.

You should really think before you speak,like you said,feel the lyrics and maybe you will respect country or any other genre of music more.Become a lyricist,learn the lyrics of any song in any type of genre in music and you will see people from hip hop are not the only ones who have suffered,nor dealt with a lot of different areas in their lyrics.Like I said people see and they judge.They will not take the time to listen to the lyrics in each and every hip hop song.Because you said just by looking at it,you know hip hop artist deal with a lot of different areas in their lyrics.Another person won't think that way.They will go and simply judge and maybe even say hip hop is crap..
