I hate when rappers go back and forth with this stupid crap.\n\nIt's all about money, power, and respect, and they feel that the only way to get those is to talk about another rapper.\n\nA more respectable way of getting money, power, and respect is by being A GOOD RAPPER!  And acknowledging, the good rappers when they are good - like Jay-Z.  Instead of trying to make him seem small, to make yourself (meaning Cameron) feel better about himself.\n\nIn the end, it's just a losing battle for Cameron.  Jay-Z has already won.

I don't like heavy metal because of the screaming and there's not real melody to follow.  It give me a headache.  However, I don't listen to gangsta rap.  I have friends that listen to both...or one or the other.  It depends on the person.  However, I don't know alot of black ppl who like heavy metal and I don't know a lot of white ppl who like gangsta rap.  \n\nThe funny thing about them is they are similar in some ways.  Gansta rap is on the extreme end of rap while heavy metal is on the extreme end of rock.  Some ppl who don't like gangsta rap say that if you put a bunch of beads in a drum and drop it on the ground you can get a beat.  Some ppl who don't like heavy metal say if you record a four year old having a temper tantrum you have a heavy metal song.  (both visuals are funny to me!)

Oh god, as quick as possible!\n\nBut seriously, rap grew very strong in our pop music culture (where i assign thw words "pop music" with popular music). It doeasn't mean that the majority of people like mass gansta-rap productions, with mass of jewelery on necks, naked "chicks" and guns/drugs/similar. Those things are breaking the common limits, and are staying on the top only becouse of that. Well, I don't know if many people would call that type of art "beutifull" or "catchy", but surely controversial. However, those things are slowly dying out. The first major step was the ban of the game "25 for Life" in UK, where in this game you were playing as gangsta-type person, killing everyone on your way to revenge.\n\nI hope that people will get bored of controversions, and will want to go to the normal, quite calm life, and start to appriciate things that we really need, and that should we respected.

The rap and hip-hop music is apart of their culture. Those things such as *pimping/huslting have really happened to these people. They have  SEEN the violence and HEARD the PROFANITY. If rockers can say what is on their mind in their music than so can BLACK PEOPLE. And we have the right of freedom of speech. YOU CANT destroy black culture. AND BLACK PEOLE arent the only rappers. PAUL WALL>>>>EMINEM. They are rappers becuz they have seen the 1)sex, 2)drugs, 3)violence, 5)Profanity[too much] 4)Hustling/pimping, 5)Acting "tough" and all that crap. THEY KNOW THE REAL WORLD. PEople singing about stuff that isnt real is why people chose hip-hop and rap music!

Well originally rapping over old music was a form of street showmanship. It's an integral part of hip/hop for the mc to brag about himself, because ordinarily he/she would be competing in front of people with another mc.  When gangsta rap became popular they took that same formula and started pretending that they actually have some criminal persona.  It is all for show, and really ruins a lot of otherwise good music. Current rap music is all smoothed out and over proccessed into this homogenized featureless sound product, which is why the radio all sounds the same. Go check out a real hip/hop show in your area, like an mc competition, and you might get a chance to hear some real hip hop.

Because most of the popular stuff now is that rap charp, it's hard for anyone to listen to.  \n\nJust try and listen to some normal music and you love it.

I like your argument, you're not biased about anything and show both sides.\n\nI agree, and rap/hiphop/r&b is my favorite (usually because it's so much more fun to dance to). I like rock or punk sometimes but I can't listen to anything that's constant screaming. To me, I don't consider it really music. But if that's what you like, then hey, I'm not stopping you.\n\nI guess what I'm trying to say is that people have very different tastes in music sometimes. The world is incredibly diverse, everyone's so different in their own personal ways. This is just one of them.\n\nWhat do they see in this music? Maybe they prefer hardcore, angry music, or maybe it gives them a rush. I don't know, and probably never will. But again, if that's what they prefer than I see nothing wrong with it.

Wow! So much hate in these responses......very very sad to see. \n\nRap can be a beautiful and artistic expression of one's feelings, experiences, and ideas and philosophies. The same can be said for Rock, Pop, Soul, Country, and pretty much any genre of music.\n\nI'm guessing that most people that are dropping such hateful words about rap music only see the watered-down, buuble-gum, "posser-mobil", MTV-please-the-man-by disrespecting-ourselves-with-uninspired- nonsense rap. To that, I can't really blame folks for such hate (having said that - I'm not a big fan of country, but I don't dismiss it as not being music and saying "how can people like that" - different strokes for different folks that's all). But that's a whole other conversation.....\n\nRecognize that Hip-Hop culture and music has much more to offer than the bullshit you see on TV. What's great about Hip-Hop is that it's a truely American artform. What I mean is that America is a blend of all cultures from all over the world. Hip-Hop musically blends elements from Rock, Jazz, Soul/R&B, Classical, Gospel, Blues, Reggae, Ska, Punk, etc.  Also, it provides a forum for people from all walks of life to share their stories and experiences. \n\nWhen we as people can understand and appreciate each other's differences (cultures and custums, etc.) - then we as humanity grow. Growing is good. Life is good. Love is good.\nBe Happy. Don't Hate. Open your mind. \nWake up and Live.\nFuck the Bullshit.\nPeace.

Nice spelling..... \nI've found that most people who don't like country music have never really listened to it..... so give it a try and then make your judgement, okay?  It applies to more peoples lives than rap does.... unless you're spending your day smackin' ho's, smokin' pot, and just being a general loser......
