I could see the following in the website:-\nOrganization dedicated to adopting a political agenda for the Hip-Hop Generation and fostering youth involvement in local, state, and federal electoral politics.\nNaturally it is a social movement.\nVR

My observations point to a diminishing social response and continual alienation from community interaction. Not withstanding basic social inter-action seems to be the important basis for adolescent understanding and interpretation between right and wrong. The generational conflicts are easily recognized by members of each groups participants and problem solving solutions become a commmunity responsibility. Whereas technology usually doesn't require either community response nor action to become effective.

Actually, I know a lot of upper lower and just plain lower class white people who listen to a lot of rap, and I feel I can fairly assume that they are a reflection of a more widespread trend among their peers, thus I'd wager a lot of lower class white people listen to a lot of rap.\n\nSo, that probably blows your percentage.\n\nOh, and there was a night spot in my town where I went every Thursday for DJ House Party/Hip Hop night.  The whole damn building would shake and sway, I kid you not.  Damn, but those were some hellacious nights.  I miss 'em (bar closed and no one else filled the spot).\n\nI'm a white dude of varying income levels...

Get into a search engine and type in; hip hop clubs, Austin, Texas. That should pull some stuff up for you. I don't about hip hop but there are a lot of placed on 6th street. Are you familiar with Austin? It's a blast there if you're of drinking age. Good luck!!

I like a little of everything.Some new stuff is just to much about hip hop and rap but the younger generation likes it and so that is fine with me.Doesn't mean I'm going to like listening to everything that comes out or want to listen to it.But I like such a wide range of music that there is room for new and old.

It's the Emperor's New Clothes syndrome.  Of course the Emperor is naked, but do you want to be the one to say it?  Gangstas are idiots!  People who buy the music are mindless sheep.  The people who profit from selling the music to our youth are murderers.  I believe they will all pay a precious price for their acts.  But be realistic, a lot of people are getting rich, and money makes the World go around.  There I said it.  Happy?  I'm glad you are awake.  I often feel like I live in a land of zombies.

I believe that todays commercial rap will be compared to the hair-bands of the 80's in the eyes of history. Flashy clothes and lyrics that just tell about all the partying and the women they have around them.\n\nRap and Hip/Hop will never die, there will be a new-wave that will take over much like the grunge movement of the 90's in rock. Wait and see.

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!

money, money, money, money, money. It's all driven by money. The gangster image is a front. They may have been punks (sorry, gangster) before they started rapping, but they certainly need the image to be successful.

I live in Atlanta (The Capital of Crunk) so of course I'm wit it! The Crunk genre has expanded so much though so a lot of people of are feelin it and maybe just don't know it! Even my dad (47yrs old) likes the "snap" music ("Lean Wit It", "Laffy Taffy")!

Interesting cartoon, and interesting question!\n\nI have a slightly different spin.  I'm in my 40s and in some ways I think society is MORE segregated than 20 or 30 years ago.\n\nYes, I believe groups self-segregate along racial and cultural lines.  One of my little pet theories (others have said it too) is that having 500 cable channels and many radio stations, websites, etc. means we can all select who and what we want to see, hear or interact with.  Back about 30 years ago, there were far fewer media outlets - everyone pretty much experienced the same thing.  There are far fewer COMMON CULTURAL EXPERIENCES today.  Top 40 radio in 1966 would play rock, folk, Motown, etc.  How many hard rock stations now play rap, or vice-versa?\n\nAlso, there are now racially and culturally segregated dorms on college campuses, something that would never fly when I was in school.\n\nSo yes, I think society is in some ways more segregated, although of course great progress has been made.\n\nPeople should do what they want, but this separatism concerns me.

Public Enemy! YEH!!!\n\nAnyways, yes, I am. Although, I'm more of a fan of revolutionary Hip-Hop myself. But then again, alot more old school had that goin' on then the mainstream new SH*t they got today.\n\n::: Peace :::

I'm, with you!! It's old, trite and outdated. But, it is new to the younger crowd. \n\nBut, maybe some of them will actually live the so called punk lifestyle, rebel, and actually "revolt" and cause some sort of social change...Yeah right.\n\nNever mind the bollocks...
