It's not that simple. It's everywhere and it's keeping everything else out. When there is no good new music to entertain people, we have to bitch to entertain ourselves. Why? For the sheer hell of it.

If there is good music it is sooooo far underground that you'd never find it. Also, I ain't got time to be looking. The dead asses need to liven their asses up so we can jam on the radio again.

i start to feel, that people who don't like rap have a racist reason behind it, and this thread is making me see my point

I know what you mean but that's not always the case man. Age plays into it also. Most people in their late 40's and older don't like rap. They think that it's just some thug off the street talking to some music and using the N-Word a lot. It's more then that. There's an art to it.

...my feelings on rap are neither here nor there, but in response to the orginal post of this thread, I get sick and f'n tired of peope blaring music in their cars..you know, if you're on the highway surrounded by other moving cars, thats one thing...but when you stop at a redlight and continue to bump that shit or cruising through a parking lot with it cranked wide open, you deserved to be called an idiot...first of all, its just stupid...second, its rude...I have children and it truly pisses me off when some dickwad cant be considerate enough to turn his lewd music down when kids are present...there is nothing like walking through parking lot with your 6 year old son while some moron comes by playing "girl give me that pussy" at full volume...

homeboy u bet yo a-- that it can influence the heck out of the choices your daughter or son makes after they hear negative rap over and over and over and over again.this is a record companies ploy to drive these negative images in our youths mind so they cant see the forrest 4 the trees, wake up son its a game going on, u better get hip and watch what radio and mtv is feeding your kids because some of it cant be digested.

would you be complaining if it were Metallica, or Nine Inch Nails being blasted out of their car instead of rap???

rude is rude...ignorrant is ignorrant and that knows no color or genre...so, to answer your question, yes I do complain if its rock, rap, country or lawrence welk...its just stupid..my biggest gripe with the folks blasting rap is that the lyrics are easily understood for the most part...with rock it sometimes sounds like cheese grated cats screeching, so its more annoying than outright offensive...

I think this thread needs to be locked and the discussion needs to be carried on here: http://www.prince.org/msg/8/193013

If it weren't for all the white kids buying it, it would still be underground.

I don't buy it. I can't help it if these little brats these days don't have the good taste not to buy it.

I did buy it back in the day though because it was actual music and a lot of it was extremely funky. I was buying it in the days when it was only available on 12 Inches which was long before little Biff and Buffy ever heard of it. Rap songs in those days was actual funk only with rapping instead of singing. Since I'm a music lover, I could fully get into it. You could flip a 12 Inch like Newcleus' "Jam On It" over and play the instrumental and it was an actual funky original song. Play the instrumental of a rap song today and it will sound like a clock....just a slow beat going "tick...tock".

When rap became nothing but a slow ass beat with some "talking" on top of it, I said the hell with it. People say "listen to the message in it", well, I could give less than a damn about a message because I buy records for music not a story. If I want a story, then I'll watch "As The World Turns".

Also, many, I repeat....MANY black people hate shit hop also.

who cares, many white people hate rock music, the blacks who hate rap are what over 40yr old, and then you have the crossover negro who hate rap,just to appease massa, when i say hate that means never liked rap EVER, you cant hate something you loved before, you might dislike the way it is gone, but you don't hate it because if something catches your ear that is what you used to love, you would like it still if it cameback to what you loved about it.
