Stoner4Life said:If I have to wade through (listen to) 1000 raps just to find the handful that aren't full of violence and the word N I G G E R than I feel that music sucks. that's all just an opinion. when someone like the thread starter resorts to name calling, which on the street would earn him a beat down then I know I'm correct about the 'rap' mentality. in his first reply to me he is on the attack, what gives? I didn't go after him at all.
BTW, I turn off EVERY black comedian that uses the word n i g g e r in his act.
If you can't entertain me w/o using a word that is despicable then you aren't smart enough to be allowed in my home.
N I G G E R was a word used lynch mobs and was the very last word thousands of innocent black americans heard as they were either hung or burned alive. That word has a place in history, NOT in popular music or comedy....... not w/o a certain amount of reverence or respect attached to it.
Stoner4Life I understand your point, rap is not for everybody. But what you see on tv is not what all rap is about. some of it but not all of it.
And there are prob to reasons the thread started got so defensive
1. This is a thread for rap, if you dont like rap, then you prob shouldnt be in this thread.
2. hip-hop to some is more than just music its a culture, its an escape. And when you disrespect someones culture, they get offended and punch back.
Kind of keep that in mind im not saying everybody should love rap but what you see on tv does not define the art. peace out
