Me too!! Nothing luike a set of blown 12's vibrating a hooptie!! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Sounds like you all need Paxil. Calm down. Every type of music has some kind of crazy artist with rediculous lyrics. Get Real.

Ok ............. deep lyrics; riiiiiiiiigggggghhhhhhhttttttt???? I had to proofread these 2LiveCrew lyrics at least 3 times to make sure the f-word, p-word, d-word, s-word, adnauseum on and on and on words were %^^&&ed out before I could post this. The N-Word lyrics obviously aren't mine; but 2LiveCrews.

I don't care what anyone labels this. You can call it creative, cultural, ethnic, or whatever you want. I love "Modern Art"; but a white canvas was still BS and not "ART". Most Music is supposed to be "ART"!!!

Some Rap is "ART"!!! But; most is still another example of the "Dumbing Down" of American Culture. IMHO!!!!!


The article at the bottom is 13-years old. But foretells many of todays problems. "The two axial principles of our age—tribalism and globalism—clash at every point except one: they may both be threatening to democracy "

Can’t nobody fu%^ with us in this x-rated rap game,
And anybody that tries that fu%^ sh*t, know what’s up for real!

Quote:Jihad vs. McWorld

The two axial principles of our age—tribalism and globalism—clash at every point except one: they may both be threatening to democracy
by Benjamin R. Barber

.....

ust beyond the horizon of current events lie two possible political futures—both bleak, neither democratic. The first is a retribalization of large swaths of humankind by war and bloodshed: a threatened Lebanonization of national states in which culture is pitted against culture, people against people, tribe against tribe—a Jihad in the name of a hundred narrowly conceived faiths against every kind of interdependence, every kind of artificial social cooperation and civic mutuality. The second is being borne in on us by the onrush of economic and ecological forces that demand integration and uniformity and that mesmerize the world with fast music, fast computers, and fast food—with MTV, Macintosh, and McDonald's, pressing nations into one commercially homogenous global network: one McWorld tied together by technology, ecology, communications, and commerce. The planet is falling precipitantly apart AND coming reluctantly together at the very same moment.

These two tendencies are sometimes visible in the same countries at the same instant: thus Yugoslavia, clamoring just recently to join the New Europe, is exploding into fragments; India is trying to live up to its reputation as the world's largest integral democracy while powerful new fundamentalist parties like the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, along with nationalist assassins, are imperiling its hard-won unity. States are breaking up or joining up: the Soviet Union has disappeared almost overnight, its parts forming new unions with one another or with like-minded nationalities in neighboring states. The old interwar national state based on territory and political sovereignty looks to be a mere transitional development.

Watch it, fish eyed fool.

Hey man. This is America. Some people sell poop and make millions. Cause "there's a fool born every minute."

Why should some of us be an exception?

If I ever run out of toilet paper, I know which thread would be a good substitute.

TigerFan2005 Wrote:I usually just read the posts but I have NEVER felt the need to respond until now. You guys are wrong to sit here and say that a certain type of music is the reason why a group of people (whom by your context clues are thought of by you as nothing but "social scum") are poor. That is not true. 60% of the african american population is financially what you would call middle class. ($60,000+ a year) You must not know that this IS just the 2nd generation of afican americans who have gotten adequate education and equal rights so that they can have the things that whites as a whole were able to have all along. Money, clothes, cars, a good education, etc. Most rap music does not glorify the negative things that you say that they do. Most of you have never listened to an entire rap song in your lives. This music was meant to talk about what they witnessed growing up and enlightening others about how they felt about it. If you want to talk about lyrics why don't you look up Jesus WAlks by Kanye West, Hate it or Love by The Game, or Why by Jadakiss. Just like there are other genres of music that glorify satan worshipping and suicide. You probably didnt think to mention that there have been teenagers commit suicide on stage at some heavy metal concerts. And for those what I would consider closet-racist remarks, those are not necessary. You did not have to bring a race of people into the argument making them sound like they were wasted space. Some people like rap, some people dont. Get over it. Leave it alone. These were the most ignorant and middle-school from the 50's sounding bunch of bull**** I have ever read in my entire life. We are smarter than this. We are Tiger fans!!! Sorry for such a long post.

Did you know that 60% of hip-hop albums are bought by white people.

Most of what you have heard, is more like it. Not most of all rap music. 2livecrew is so far out there and no one even listen to that anymore. That was for shock value and it worked. You are using 2livecrew as an example of most hip hop/rap...........yea right......you need to know what you are talking about. Just because the stuff you hear in Memphis or on MTV you do not like.....that is not nearly all hip hop. There is hip hop coming out of every major (and sometimes minor) city in the world, from China to Brasil to Irovy Coast to France to Germany to Austrailia to Iceland.
