Natalie asked:


in the beginning it says “oh i see how it is he thinks hes a gangsta.” and there are like bell sounds. ding ding ding. then in the middleish part it says shididdiidia. its hip hop,and if you search so you think your a gangster on youtube girls dance to it. WHAT IS THIS SONG???

guess asked:


My take… The problem is that at some point rap stopped being a reflection of the streets and became a parody of itself. Worse, it became a “lifestyle” that has been perpetuated by the few who can profit from it and suffered by those who are still in poverty. It was one thing for NWA to say “F–k the Police” years ago out of frustration, it’s another to say not to snitch so criminals can walk free.

There were some artistic tours de force (Gangsta’s Paradise, anyone?) but like anything so overwhelmingly successful it generated a lot of copycats, as well as perpetuating an inner city stereotype that neighborhood activists had been trying to shed since the civil rights movement. Rather than using their success to move past it, a lot of the gangsta rappers used their money to wallow in the world that any normal person with their money would have tried to improve or outright left.

That all points to how the creative juices have ceased flowing in hip-hop.

la reigne de sarcasm asked:


I am Black myself, and I personally detest most mainstream hip-hop and rap music. In fact, aside from a few talented, poetic artists in the underground like Immortal Technique, Psyche Origami, Talib Kweli and a few others…I find this genre of music a general blight on the surface of the past few generations, and especially our current one now, the youth ages 8-20.

“B” this, “Ho” that, “N-gga” this. “Bling Bling” that. Gotta have these shoes. Gotta have these clothes. Gotta drive this car. Gotta “shine”. Gotta look like this woman. Gotta have this chain. And a partirdge in a pear tree…

Most of these “artists” aren’t even speaking proper English. All they do is glamorize “gangsta” life and deviant behavior, both sexual and social. A fine example is Akon, among hundreds. Why would any of us, especially blacks, let this crap into our homes? Let our children, who are OUR future accept this immoral sub-culture?

Why do a lot of you here defend this? I’d like to hear your reason
