...if you knew more about the rappers who's opinion you prefer and the comments they've made you'd probably take back your statement. lol.
Women, money, cars, clothes and opression! What a great message!

One has to admit that when it comes down to it, it's about making that doe. So naturally, a lot of these folks are trying to find that nitch that's gonna make 'em a hit. I've been listening to rap pretty much since its inception and from what I recall, most of the stuff I liked (and most of my friends) didn't make it to the radio and that's probably still the case. Luda, Jay, 50, Kanye, etc are what the majority like (and for those that don't know 70% of those who buy rap are white). Hiphop is big now but it's not exactly the same as when I was coming up. In another since it is. The stuff that got played on the radio always had a good beat and a hook but the content of the lyrics left much to be desired.

in addition to the above, 95% of the replies in this thread alone are evidence that even though some people have been exposed to rap, most still have little understanding about hip hop music/culture in general. so as i said before...

Actually, I bought my car the day after your registration date. I used to lurk on the boards until I registered until my current name. There have been enough newbies since that time, that it's not a matter of who's been here longer. I don't think many of the people posting in this thread have been here that long.
Anywho, I'm hoping that you can enlighten us as to what the hip-hop culture is truely about. Or is it some secret that I can't know about, or won't understand? Orrrrrr, is it that you really don't know, yourself? Coming off half-assed doesn't do much for your credability, whether it be a Performance Forum, or the Common Interest Forum. Also, although this is a Contour message board, it doesn't mean that Contours are EVERYONE'S lives. People lead very different lifestyles out of CEG. Who are you to label who DOES and who DOESN'T have any understanding of hip-hop "culture?"

Some true maturity there BP. I'm shocked! 
Now, please explain how the mainstream rap artists spread a helpful and not hurtfull message. This should be good.

someone with an opinion based on the responses in this thread maybe?
look, mark, it doesn't matter to me who you like or what type of music you like. it shouldn't really matter to you whether i approve of it or explain my view of it either. as long as it's entertaining and enjoyable to you the rest doesn't matter right?
at a high level i've seen hip hop music go from a hobby to a commodity. there is a place in between where good music is still made but very little of it gets the type of promotion that people like 50, kanye, jay z, (insert your favorite platinum artist) get. there's a place for that, but the people who run the industry aren't interested in integrity and message, just sales.
that's dissapointing because they know the large part of their sales come from artist who aren't promoting a realistic, uplifting, positive view of life. i haven't even seen artist like the roots, or little brother mentioned in this thread.
lol. there, i've said more than i wanted to. i'm off to listen to tears for fears now. later.

Awesome explanation! You've proven yourself to be not just 99% ignorant, but now 100%! Great job!

Evidently it's important enough to you, to call everyone in this thread out as a whole, and tell them they don't know anything about the hip-hop culture, in which you so adamantly understand, but won't backup your own finger-pointing.

Nice try at making a mockery of what I've said. You once again have put your foot in your mouth.

I never mentioned what kinds of music I listen to, or which rappers I care and don't care for. Yes, I AM calling you out, as you seem to know so much about what everyone else in here know so little. You haven't explained yourself, which is all I've asked from you. If you didn't want to answer that question, maybe you shouldn't have been so quick to judge where everyone on here comes from.
