When I say Hip Hop I mean the culture that came to forefront in the early 90’s with the emergence of groups like N.W.A. and gangsta rap. Because before this movement gained prominence, hip hop was a positive force that gave its fans a politcal voice, a dope beat to bounce to, and a sanctuary from the oppressive conditions and environment that surrounded them….all WITHOUT demeaning and degrading themselves, glorifying ingorance and gang life + mentality, and putting a cheap price on selling out. What do you think?
Nay Nay, I agree that most of the M.C.s out there arent producing this garbage. And yes there is a difference betwenn an M.C. and a rapper. But you gotta take into account….that the M.C.s arent the ones getting the national and internatinal exposure. The sellout bubbergum rappers are the ambassadors parading the veiled form self-hate for hip hoppers to peoples around the globe. Mos Def isnt on Bet 24/7….50 cent is tho. Common cant get no air time in ATL, but you can catch Lil Wayne on the radio at any given time talkin bout make it rain.

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
