Rap, the culture Options

[MrElsewhere]

I don't know if a topic like this has been made yet, but here goes...

So I know a lot of cBers listen to rap. I listen to rap, too. But have you noticed what most of the rappers are doing to rap? They're destroying rap's reputation. They make the people that listen to rap look like sex obssesed "gangtahz". I know there are a lot of rappers out there that make music that is about something meaningful, but the majority are always talking about how they have gatts and hoes and that they're pimps. Maybe we should all write emails to the rappers asking them to write about something else..

Yeah, I do notice that the rap industry is building this sort of sex-obsessed image. There are those who do write meaningful lyrics, but many rappers are ruining their reputation. It really bothers me how some of them act like "fly, ghetto wannabes". That's actually why I don't listen to much rap. I would probably listen to more rap if there were less of those people around.

Which is why I don't listen to mainstream or commercial rappers...

If you want to listen to some real rappers, try:

De La Soul
Royce da 5'9
Mos Def
Talib Kweli
Common
Pharoahe Monch
The Roots
Nas
etc.

The reason why the rap you hear on the radio and TV is what's popular is because this is what the fans want to hear. There are plenty of rappers out there who don't rap like they nymphos or gangstas or straight up idiots. Its the listener's fault for not supporting good artists and instead glorifying idiots such as 50 Cent or Nelly or Chingy.

Don't blame the rappers, blame the idiots who buy their garbage.

jeez ppl need to stop bashing ppls posts. This guy made a good point that rappers are just talkin bout their bitches n' hoes. But i mean it's kinda like 50/50, atleast every single rapper talks like that in a couple of their songs but some of them they talk about other stuff. But i know what ur sayin, but it seems like every year it gets worse, so i mean i think that it probably isn't going to change.

[iheartsimba]

yes i guess a lot of rappers are like that. but we can't change what they wright about. emailing them won't make htem change their viewpoints.

the reason this post is gettin' bashed is because there's about 10 other one's that have already come up almost identical... if it was original, it would be different...

there's even a thread for people that feel this way and advice on who to listen to that's actually GOOD and ORIGINAL (unlike this thread)

No hate, just the truth

AND -1-

[teenprincess]

yea...

Anyways, I listen to these rap songs, but I hardly ever listen the lyrics. One song I didn't even know it was in another language till someone else mentioned it

[LeSLiE]

That's why I don't listen to rap.
