You wouldn't know real rap if it slapped you in the face.
Stop watching BET. I SAID STOP IT !!
" No son, Jay-Z is the realest, Eminem is my idol, Lil Jon is the hardest, Outkast is the coolest, T.I. is the roughest and I want to move to New York City so I can be a rapper, Michael713 "
Rap has no business being on this website, unless its the topic of critical discussion, and thats coming from someone who listens to it, so I think I have the right to protest it on a Christian website.
I wish we could meet in person, so I could do my own rendition of "Scared Straight."
Now reply to me with your internet-gangster responses (on a Christian website) and be true to the description I used above, I've seen it before and I know I'm about to see it again.
Moderators, I'm sorry, but these kids don't know what its like outside the suburbs, but they think they do.

NINGirl said:It's kind of odd that I'm coming to the defense here, seeing as I despise MTV and most of current music. Now I'm personally not a big rap fan. I loved Public Enemy, Schooly D, and Eminem's first album and that's about it.
Some of you are being completely unfair to the original poster. The wannabe comment was taken back, but it shouldn't have been made in the first place. The OP never said he was a thug or that his rap was the "real rap". Jesus, music is music people. It may have evolved and you may view it as contaminated and fake, but you can't disrespect a fan who sees it differently than you.
And yes, rap portrays terrible messages. Rock has it's flaws too. Bands like Guns N Roses aren't exactly glorifying God either. (This coming from a huge rock fan.) So if you are going to make comments about a certain secular music type, realize that the same type of message is being portrayed in many other popular music genres besides the one you're referring to. Just like there's unacceptable rap, there's unacceptable rock, punk etc.

antiarte said:Okay, then. I'm sorry for the whole wanna-be thing. Let's discuss hip-hop then. You seem to know a lot about it. Do you like anyone else besides G-Unit or Em? Have you heard, I dunno...Company Flow, or Thirstin' Howl III, or maybe Rakim, or Prodigy, one of the most underrated lyricists in the "game", or anything that's not in regular rotation in MTV or BET? Or even some ol' school Wu-Tang?
blackwasp said:Agreed. Also, what does a knowledge of music theory have to do with knowing what music is better than other music?
