NinjaNick Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Rich thugs. I get annoyed that society/people will buy their shit and support them. We make them rich. W/out the music and ignorant suburban white kids supporting them, they would've been commiting crimes long ago. Just my $.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vectorvictor Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Come on guys, They are just trying to get home to there Two million dollar homes in the ghetto. Do you want them to get capped while driving past the Starbucks because they were unarmed and couldnt fight back. They just want to be protected incase Paris Hilton does a drive by on them.

NinjaNick Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 you sure your not thinking of "trance" music????I was a huge rap fan from the 80's to the 90's. After I turned about 24 in 2001, I grew up and realized that it's made for punk kids and has no musical talent at all involved in it. Poetry about booty, drugs, sex. I'd rather just read a Hustler magazine and be more entertained. Rap is crap for sure. I don't ever recall any rapper playing drums,guitar, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleaner Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I like some rap music. A lot of the stuff out there is crap. But rap as a category of music, I like. Don't hate the industry in its entirety just because lots of its participants are idiots. Some rap artists do lots of great things for their communties and lots for other communitites as well. Just because they sometimes do stupid things does not mean all rap artists do those things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 I will always love old school 80's and 90's rap though. I still listen to that stuff. But rap nowadays just plain 'ol sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is, like other forms of simple music is that it's hyper-competitive so a good look/hook will sell as well if not better than actual talent. That's why the market is saturated with shit... Like pop music... My biggest issue with the entire music industry is that there are TONS of bands that have REAL TALENT who can never get signed... or if they do... never get promoted by the record label so they never make it. Real quality music get's shit on because they can crank out a dozen albums a year by a gimmick 'artist'...I like some rap music. A lot of the stuff out there is crap.

Just because they sometimes do stupid things does not mean all rap artists do those things.Old school rap is solid. Actual thought and talent there... Not a whole lot of making up words just to rhyme... Creating their own beats and such... It went downhill REAL fast once the industry realized they could create demand themselves... Well, and the American public started to become culturally retarded... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
