This rap crap is the devil's music.

This rap crap is the devil's music. The culture of hip-hop is extremely evil.

[MoneyWhereMyMouthIs2]

Agree, or atleast the culture of hip-hop is extremely evil.

I was thinking more of the Little Wayne type hip-hop culture.

[RP Supporter]

The sad part is that many whites do too.And we're all being taught that it's somehow something to aspire towards.

I will say that not all rap or hip hop is bad. It's pretty clearly not my preferred type of music, but I've heard some powerful and emotional stuff. The best stuff that comes out of that genre can touch you on a deep level.

But that's not what the companies market, or what the mainstream buys. When you get into people bragging about breaking the law, beating women and glamorizing a "thug" lifestyle you should not be surprised when the people who crank it 24/7 begin to emulate it. And I don't know anyone who would think that emulating such a lifestyle is a positive thing in any direction. But for some reason people are proud of it.

Little Wayne type hip-hop culture is by far the most common one, or atlest in my side of the atlantic. Most if not all popular hip-hop songs celebrate excessive alcholol usage and bad drug use, like cocaine and pot for example.

Most of Lil Wayne top hits are mostly club or party music. They talk about drinking, having sex and just having a good time. Theres no message to it other than to go crazy partying

The same Way one expects a mindless action movie when they buy a ticket to a Micheal Bay movie is the same way you expect mindless party music when you buy Lil Wayne's record. There's nothing wrong or illegal about it when consumed by responsible adults.

The teens I know listen to this music are nothing like responsible let alone adults and it is not good for them, add that with parents who do not care about who they see as rolemodels and you have a recipe for disaster.

[better-dead-than-fed]

... Little Richard sang:


"A-wop-bom-a-loo-mop-a-lomp-bom-bom!!
Tutti Frutti, good booty"
After this lively performance, Blackwell knew the song was going to be a hit, but recognized that the lyrics, with their "minstrel modes and sexual humor" needed to be cleaned up.

So, I guess you have to say they are so weak minded, the music is causing their behavior... or that the music is a symptom of things they already identify with. If you choose the former, you can fix it by making them listen to new music.

[better-dead-than-fed]

... an urgent message on the letterhead of the local Catholic diocese's newspaper was sent to FBI director J. Edgar Hoover. It warned that


[Elvis] Presley is a definite danger to the security of the United States.... [His] actions and motions were such as to rouse the sexual passions of teenaged youth...

That's exactly what they said about swing music when my grandma was a kid.

Those hips!!! They move!!! It's clearly a threat to the security of the united states.

Apparently.

There's a guy in our community that preaches that Rock is a communist plot and holds "swing dances" for kids. So, I guess swing was only evil during the 40's & 50's. Then Elvis came along and then the Beatles, so now we are all going to hell. ;)

Hope the poor guy never listens to Rage Against the Machine- I'm sure he'll wet his panties.

[AuH20]

This isn't complicated. Grow up without a father in the inner city and you're going to latch onto the anti-hero with all the bling, women and dead presidents. Hip hop wasn't as hollow as this though, with the proliferation of such socially aware groups as Public Enemy, KRS-One and others many years ago.

[Nobexliberty]

Those hips!!! They move!!! It's clearly a threat to the security of the united states. That was before out of wedlock was acceptable.Now more then half the kids in the US are born outside wedlock, or spend most of their childhood in a divorced home. Many off them taken care off by the goverment. Goverment has replaced families from raising kids and that can not be good for liberty.

Hip Hop isn't particularly lyric-dirty, it is mostly rap- although I really like rap when the lyrics are cool:


MC Hammer – Pray Lyrics

That's word,we pray(pray,pray)
We got to pray
Just to make it today
I said we pray(pray) ah,yeah,pray(pray)
We got to pray
Just to make it to pray
That's word,we pray

All my life I wanted to make it to the top
(That's word,we pray)
Some said I wouldn't
They told me no, but I didn't stop
(That's word,we pray)
Working hard,making those movies everyday
(That's word,we pray)
And on my knees every night, you know I pray

Chorus

Now I just think that you
Can do what ever you want
(That's word,we pray)
I'm bustin' these rhymes
Making this money and I won't
(That's word,we pray)
Forget my people or my town or my ways
(That's word,we pray)
And on my knees every night I'm still gonna pray

Chorus

Time and time and time and time again
(That's word,we pray)
I kept on knocking,but
These people wouldn't let me in
(That's word, we pray)
I tried and tried and tried and tried to make a way
(That's word, we pray)
But nothing happened till that day I prayed

Chorus

Children dying, oh,so fast from this or that
(That's word,we pray)
Needing that money
Smoking that dope and doing that crack
(That's word, we pray)
Ten years old stand outside
Better look out
(That's word ,we pray)
Dead and gone, never had a chance
What's it all about?

Chorus

That's word,we pray( x3)

On a mission start to doubt, here we go
(That's word, we pray)
Kicking back, read these words we need to know
(That's word,we pray)
Living high, living good, living long
(That's word,we pray)
Take a minute, bust a prayer
And you're good to go

Chorus

We're sending this one out to the Lord
(That's word, we pray)
And we thank you and we know we need to pray
(That's word, we pray)
Cause all the blessings that are good they come from above
(That's word,we pray)
And once again we want
To say "thank you" to the Lord with all our love

That's word,we pray (pray) ah, yeah, pray
We need to pray
Just to make it today
I need to pray (pray), ah, yeah, pray
We need to pray
Just to make it today
That's word, we pray

That's word,we pray(pray,pray) (x4)
That's word, we pray

Hip hop can also be poetic and inspirational... without any particular culture in mind...

This for instance...

Here's a nice mashup of Mos Def and Pretty Lights... He was the recent rapper who underwent the force-feeding. He's been on this trail for awhile now.

When a soldier ends his life with his own gun,
beef is tryin' to figure out what to tell his son.

[VIDEODROME]

It is not the music, it is the culture that comes with it. The fact that their parents are a small factor in how they behave makes their behaviour influenced by other factors.

This stuff is kind of like a mirror reflecting a part of society we don't like to admit exists. I think our first instinct is to censor it or ignore it, but maybe we need to look at it more closely.

I guess to be a little fair, when this stuff becomes popular it feeds the culture that created it in the first place. That's why people claim it as a negative influence, but it's really just focusing that culture that already exists.

[pcosmar]

Why do people listen to that fool's drivel? And why post his spew?

[Antischism]

Actually, a lot of mainstream rap/hip-hop promotes capitalism and entrepreneurship. Getting big, making money, living the good life, and doing it all after having grown up in a low-income neighborhood riddled with violence. The problem however, is the way said money is made and what enables the violence and gang wars to exist. Yeah, you guessed it, the War on Drugs. It's an example of the way government has systematically tried to keep minorities in a state of perpetual self-destructiveness and complacency. Not just minorities, but "lower class" whites as well. What do you think happens when it's all you see in your community and government continues to push these insidious laws?

Tha priest tha book or tha congregation?
Tha politricks who rob and hold down your zone?
Or those who give tha thieves tha key to their homes?
Tha pig who's free to murder one Shucklak
Or survivors who make a move and murder one back?

Sadly the bad boy posturing of rap music created a very negative media portrayal of black culture.

Wrong rock is badass.

BTW about hip-hop, so-called 'conscious' hip-hop is actually the worst. Anti-capitalist, anti-liberty, anti-white. People need to stop being fooled by it, better off sticking to the more honest thug shit if you're going to listen to it at all.

I think that's the time period a lot of people are living in including myself because music was so much better back then.
