I know plenty of people that hate rock and love rapTBTwinsFan said:GarkoCollector said:TBTwinsFan said:I will help yall out... ALL rap is wack. It is sickening to glamorize the THUG and Gangster culture. People die in those areas and rappers and most of their fans are trying to act like that. Even christian rappers act very "Gangster" by the clothes they wear and what it represents. The only rap I listen too is TI but even that is a little much sometimes. Im all about Rock
This statement proves you know NOTHING about Rap or Hip Hop. You probably should stick to Rock, you know, the music that glamorized drugs and promiscuity for decades.
So you are saying that you DO know about rap? I thought that was a little before your time... and glamorizing drugs and promiscuity? I can find you KID CUDI songs that talk about that... should we try... all of them? I have a friend that LOVES Kid Cudi, Lil Wayne, and that junk, and he shows me the songs and stuff... I had another friend that LOVED Paul Wall... Ludacris, and a few others... and I have listened to their filth and sometimes wonder how any normal person can stand this stuff...
Rappers are a joke... a lot of the mainstream "gangsters" have never BEEN in jail... like Akon who sings about gang bangin and "Smackin that"... R.Kelly is IN jail for being a ******, Lil Wayne is in jail for bringing a gun on a bus, probably forgot to load it, what a pothead... he even admitted to Katie Couric on how "I love my weed because I am a gangster"
And what has this junk done to a small community like I live in? It turned it to complete trash... there are a ton of kids running around thinking they are cool, and "gangster" because they wear South Pole and are from Minneapolis... and the funny thing is someone picks a fight with them and they back down, not because they are smart, but because they were scared... I used to try to become a part of this group, and then I actually started playing a video game called guitar hero, and I realized I am not a gangster (and I also know I can't play guitar... so that comeback is dead) and ever since I have felt most comfortable with rock... I even tried fitting in with listening to country... but rock came in and I realized that I am not a country boy, or a gangster, but rather I am a dude who likes rock, and I quit trying to fit in and went my own way...
And ok, do you want to get into NON-Gangster rap? Shall we try a group called the KottonMouthKings? Just look at their song titles and tell me they don't glamorize weed... They arn't gangster, short of tattoos and hats but they produce the worst junk in the world, I have never heard a rocker or band glamorize weed like they do. I know a TON of people who hate "rap" but will listen to ICP and KMK...
There is maybe only one rapper in my entire life that I have heard of (minus all of the generic stuff for younger children) that doesn't glamorize this stuff...
Quite sad in my opinion
