Most rap is utter trash and like with everything you have to look harder to find the gems.


Take this for example...there's nothing deep about it but it is one of the most awesome songs ever.

[quote=Angry;755176]Who looks at a painting and says "I want to do that"? Who draws inspiration from that painting to mimic what they see? Hardly anyone does that. On the other hand who looks at a painting and says "that is magnificant". It all comes down to taste. You just don't have a tase for Gangsta rap. That is no different from someone who says that they might like nudity in a painting but to depict sodomy is taking it too far.[/quote]

If you can depict sodomy in such a way as to evoke inspiration, then more power to you. I guess I'm just saying you guys are claiming way more noble intentions than exist. That's a judgement call, but it's what my cynical nature leads me to believe.

[quote=Angry;755115]Write a poem about your struggles and see how many albums it sells. Your distaste should not be about rap it should be for the society and lifestyle that caused it. Nobody wants to be a thug and promote that lifestyle, but they can only speak of their own experiences. America gets off on tragedy because the majority of the populatation experiences and embraces it because it's all the know.[/quote]

I'd say their parents probably choose that life style and did nothing to better them self. I'm just glade that everyone that has talent from the inner city does not do so by selling death, drugs, and bitches. If thats the best you think he can do then I question his talent to begin with. I also have said I really don't blame them I blame MTV and other that promoted them and those life styles.

If you don't think kids are trying to copy these guys then you need to take the blinders off. Just watch any cops show or shows about gangs. I know gangs are not new here but having it main stream and making it cool is.

You are going to live whatever lifestyle you are going to live regardless of the music that you listen to or what you watch. Glamorization of it is only going to appeal to those that found it appealing in the first place.

Exactly.

It's not like Joey white kid in the burbs is going to turn gangsta after listening to The Chronic.

Blaming music for society's ills is just ridiculous.
