i agree....u cant stop......u ppl made this post 5pgs long saying the same -blam!- over n over.... because u want to diss it as much as u can.......and some one said that the rappers are dumb.....dude eminem and 50 cent and -blam!-.....they read the -blam!-in dictionary.... ok...they write there own lyrics 99 percect of the time.....not all rappers talk about sex and guns and -blam!-.. and linkin park is good
Just a tad too many ellipses in that post. Not even I use that many.
Just 'cause someone reads the dictionary doesn't mean they're smart. The truth is, most rappers are dumbasses. Nearly all of them have dropped out of school. When they were in school, they didn't pay attention. Then you can compare them with a band like Radiohead, who all graduated from Stanford (I think it was Stanford...). Sorry, buddy, but most rappers just aren't very smart. If they were smart, they wouldn't be rappers.
Writing your own lyrics isn't an indication of intelligence, either. It just means you can make words rhyme (and half the time in rap they rhyme a word with itself).
And I agree with the whole degradation of women thing. Even though some of the older hardcore rock has some pretty degrading stuff about women, there aren't a whole lot of references to women being "-blam!-es" and "hos" and stuff about them "backin' that ass up".
Not all rappers talk about sex, guns, drugs, or being rich? Not even in at least one of their songs? I'll beleive it when you give me an example.
The main reason lots of people hate rap is because they have an appreciation of actual music that took actual talent to write. The people who truly can say they appreciate music look down on rap as a sort of cancer to the music world (to me, pop-punk and just about any kind of punk past about 1997 falls into the same category). That's why we make fun of rap and "diss" on it...because it's pathetic, mindless, unintelligent garbage.
Oh, the other reason I really hate rap is the whole "gangsta" lifestyle that goes with it. With all the retarded baggy clothes and jewelery and whatnot. Then they think they need to go off and kill people so they can be "thugs." For what reason? What does that accomplish in life? All it does is make them more worthless. Heck, they aren't even real thugs. All half of them do is kill some defenseless, innocent person who was in the wrong place at the wrong time (like in the case of Buffalo Wing's brother...man, that seriously sucks.). At least the Mafia (who are the real "thugs"...kinda bad that I'm praising them like that, but it is true) mostly kept the fighting confined to mob families. Anyone who's a decent shot and has a basic knowledge of fighting tactics could totally own a "thug."
