yeah is there anybody else out there like me?
i just listen to it and it nearl pisses me off...i'd actually would rather listen to slow **** country...
yesturday, i was forced to listen to it because i was riding the bus and forgot my CD player...there was a song on the radio with like i think it was outcast or somebody trying to be outcast...it sounded like techno a little, but just like stupid as f#ck man...and there was some girl singing...
"i won't let you take me home...would you still be around bay bay? around bay bay?
no no no no....don't mess wit muh heart"
i was like, shut the F#CK UP! please!
nobody plays thier own intruments, and everybody always talks about the same old dayum thing, and it's always a remake of a song from like the 80s or something...same beat, just sped up...fake **** gansgta contributing to the mess i call the "club culture" that's f-ing up our young black people...gangsta rap had a better inpact on us than this "get in da club 'tho ya hands up" BS...
like i seriously can't stand rap music man, any of it...anybody else out there like me? what do you listen to instead? do people make fun of you?
lsitening to rap music just makes me what to spit up myself :???:
what?? ****....maybe it's because I'm a musician...but "Don't Phunk With My Heart" is the shyt...that's a good band song...
Didn't say the music was bad it's just they lost all my respect feeling the need to add a white girl, I guess to gain popular status.
I actually like her. I think she made them better... more lively. If you read up on her you will see she's not just a white girl. I felt the same way until I read this article about them.
That girl has a lot of energy and a good voice!
Yea, I'm not denying her voice or talent, she was in that group Wild Orchid. I just disagree with the Black Eyed Peas decision to add her to gain more popularity. I was a fan of them for years, when no one really knew who they were, so I was bothered with them adding someone in the first place and then feeling the need to add a popular looking white girl.
I love hip-hop, but not a big fan of rap, there is a big diff
This be confusin me a lil. I see rap as a action and art and hiphop as a culture composed of dance, art, poetry, rap and a lot of other things. I might be wrong but this is what I take it as.
naw, rap is a lot more "hard core" than hip hop....
for example:
ludacris, nelly, big tymers, chingy, bow wow, etc = hip hop
three 6 mafia, paul wall, dr. dre, etc = rap
what?? ****....maybe it's because I'm a musician...but "Don't Phunk With My Heart" is the shyt...that's a good band song...
Yeah I happen to like that song...eh, it don't make me no punk.
To the topic...can you give us some specific reasons for feeling this way about rap?
i don't like the way it degrades women
no other music be it jazz, techno, country degrades women in such a way that rap music does..."d!ck **** hoes", "i got hoes everyday of da week", video hoes, ect ect...in country, pop, techno, you'll never find lyrics like this...why does it have to be our music that degrades our own dayum women? wtf sense does that make? you know young middle school children pick up all these negative messages and then run around repeating them...it ends up in their heads and then we have fix the damage that's been done to them by teaching them to respect the black female ect ect...NO WHERE ELSE ARE THEY BEING TAUGHT TO DISREPECT OUR WOMEN...is it happening in our churches? no...are the teachers teaching them this? no...movies? maybe ****...but mainly it's rap music that's intructing young black males to treat women like sh!t...some hole that you can pump full of **** that will one day spit out your child...your baby momma....oh and it's attacched to a pair of legs that can dance, a **** that can jiggle, and a mouth that won't shut up...and the light skinned ones are pretty, but the dark skinned ones will suck you thang really hard, and can dance really nasty....that's what i've learned from rap music and rap videos...
and it degrades our black male youth also....glorifying being a **** and being ...ahem *clears throat* "hard"...rap music and the rap culture is the reason why you have suburban thugs...n1gs who's parents blessed them with a good life away from the gangs and ****, but they still want to act like these assclowns that you find in central cities because that's what's glorified in rap music...a "****" is a male who grew up without a father and he has no idea how to be a real man, so he fakes it by being extra hard and extra tough...he runs around with his little girlfriends..i mean buddies for male support...this is the lifestytle that's held in high esteem in rap music...why doesn't any rap music talk about going to college? respecting black women? developing a relationship??? i mean some does, but most doesn't...whay are baby momma's being glorified in rap music??
this is what our young people are being brainwashed into...being baby mommas and thugs wearing fubu 05...
do i have to go into all the young black males out there wasting thier time and lives with a dayum mic, a cassette recorder, and a big purple crayon to write lyrics who think they're gonna make it? get a CDL licence and rive a truck, young man...
the majority of rap music doesn't do anything to lift us up as a people, which isn't it's purpose....it's just to entertain...but rap music unlike the other genres doesn't just entertain, it shapes our people...wherever rap goes, that's where our people go esp. in the inner cities...it tells them how to act, what to wear, ect ect...i don't think it's no longer an expression from the inner city, rap controls what is the people of the inner city...
not to mention it's contributing to a club culture that i truely believe is robbing the quality of life from young blacks....every weekend it's drank this, figth with that, and f#ck that...it's the music...the same way that 60s psycodelic (spel) music caused white youth to smoke this, swallow that, trip out on this....i'm not saying it started it, but it contributes to the decline by glorifying it...wtf
music is powerful...music affects the soul...did you know that you use the same part of your brain to worship and to listen to music? music is sound that affects the soul, and we should be careful what crap we put in our CD players...
You know what? I actually agree with you on this. That's why I don't listen to rap music as much as I used to. My father and I were just talking about this matter not too long ago, and it sometimes amazes me on how music has a big influence on people, whether we believe it or not.
Lets NOT even get started on BET......... (big ups on the awards show though. very classy indeed.)
Anyways, y'all should do like I do. Listen to Jazz. 8)
I like your rendition of Summertime. That was really good! PDT_002
