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!!!

its reality you may not like but it happens, some people describe hip hop as just vulgar music with sex, violence, drugs etc. for those that like rock some people complain to it as just bunch of noise, and full of emo people. it's the same concept if you think about it, theres always going to be something that someone will complain about a genre of music, but music is music theres many ways to make music, and if all music were the same dont you think it'd be boring? thats why many genres exist, hip hop is just also a genre of music where a lot diverse people enjoy, especially how it's getting famous not in america but also through out many other countries, don't think of hip-hop as just vulgar music that you see on TV, and we wont think of rock/punk as full of emo people that hate the world.

agreed 100%

i think the problem with this thread is we all have a diff opinion of what hip hop is. to me hip hop is a completely different genre than the music on the radio dealing with sex, money, ect. they aren't even similar in my opinion, the beats, the lyrics, the subject matter is completely different.
