Re: Hip-Hop is Dead!
The closest any of you have probably came to listening to rap is your middle aged co-worker's imitation of Rappers Delight.
You're implying that without rap there wouldn't be any gangsters. Just because gangsters and the like are out committing crimes, you seem to be blaming it on rap, only because rap in very few cases talks about it... but so does the news. I'm sure the number of people that put on Cop Killer decide to go out and murder a cop simply because they heard it in a song is zero.
As for the Cribs and banishing the ghetto... have you seen it? There aren't very many multi-million dollar homes in the ghetto, if that's not banishing the ghetto then what is? And lmao @ glamming it up with grills and the talk, that's hard core murderer **** right there. So they should be required to wear suits at all times and not talk like themselves?
Please, somebody go through the youtube list I posted and tell me exactly what's offensive, which parts make you want to go murder somebody or do all this other bad stuff you are referring to. Everyone always says they hate rap, but their only reason is because they don't like the sound of it, they aren't even singing, boo hoo. Yet they are so defensive about it they make up all this other nonsense to blame it for. There were gangsters and crime before rap you know..
