althoug i will concede that some rap is lyrically brilliant, it pales in comparison to rock, like metallica.

pfft.

most of those songs i havent heard of, and if there was a list of rap songs that condoned violence/drugs it would just be the tracklisting off every modern album.

I never denied that Rap does it.

What I pointed out was that it is imbecilic to claim Hip-Hop is terrible because it's full of criminals.

Typcial stereotyping by people who don't actually listen to the music.

most of rock is telling you not to do drugs
most of rapis telling you TO do drugs

If you're dumb enought to take what a rapper says to heart, perhaps you're already on drugs...

I give a f**k what people think of rap. Personally, I cant wait till it becomes uncool again, maybe then people won't be afraid to tell someone they're sh*t and shouldnt be signed. Until then I'm going to continue bugging out to my classic KRS ONE, 2Pac, Lynch Mobb, Biggie, Rakim, Kool Moe Dee, Big L, GangStarr, Wutang, Nas, Big Daddy Kane, Ice T, NWA records, and my newer stuff like Immortal Technique, Cunning Linguists, Canibus, Chino XL, Royce 5'9", Papoose, Little Brother, Pumpkinhead, C-Rayz Walz and the like, records.

f**k off and listen to your Skrewdriver records, Adolf.

 

[Eelementary]

it is still the biggest crock of sh*t to ever grace LU.

and outright lying.

He may have been lying - I don't know.

I'm telling you he did tell me that, though.

Is it true? Perhaps not. Probably not. HE maybe lying - I'm not though.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

like what?

off the top of my head i can think of 'master of puppets' by metallica-very anti drugs. and under the bridge by chili peppers.

what songs advocate drug use in rock?

You don't think the terms "sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll" are associated for a reason?!

a stereotype

and not one assciated with lyrical cntent, rather lifestyle

LOL!

I actually agree with you but we've been waiting 10 years now.

It's been going steadilly downhill since Fluff Daddy profited off BIGS death

 

[Manurewa_Marlins]

WHo cares? You watch movies, you play video games? If you dont like rap, dont listen to it! No one expects everyone to listen to it!

 

[Eelementary]

Is it really such an issue that people sing/rap about drugs, murder and violence or whatever?

I saw a clip a few years back (it was a metal band) in which the band members were tied and bound and were torturing cats in very violent and sadistic manners...Doesn't make me want to torture cats!

Now now, don't lie ;-)


The people who always whinge about these sorts of things are the type of people who wouldn't listen to Hip Hop even if it was all pop and totally clean. They just don't like the genre and need to find a way to drag it down.

Ok, Ok...I'll admit it lol.

But yeah I agree with what you say. It's all about the perception of the genre.

Just like a lot of people I know seem to think that if you listent to anything heavier than The Used or Green Day then you're chicken-sacrficing, devil-worshipping malcontent lol.
