Side A
For one, I already said rap music isn't perfect
And two, why not talk about the rap music that brings forth intellectual and consciousness to the masses???
It's funny how people who LEAST listen to rap music have MORE to say about it
The majority of rap music buyers are women
Why not ask THEM that question???
Rap music is the reflection of society...if you wanna so-called clean up rap, then clean up the mentality of the people
Rap didn't create the public...the public created rap
Side B
Country music is your preference...I don't knock anyone for their choice of music
If that's your cup of henny, more power to you
You act like all rap is demeaning to women when you have songs like "Brown Skin Lady" by Black Star (Mos Def and Talib Kweli) and "Beautiful Skin" from Goodie Mobb that big up women
There are countless other songs that promote women in a positive light, but it seems like either you're only exposed to the so-called negative or you don't listen to a lot of rap to see the variety
That's like saying all Black men are criminals and dead beat dads based on shows like COPS and Maury
You need to stop
@ Troy
Once again...
You being there doesn't mean anything when you weren't an active participant
Because if you were an active participant in the 80s, you'll know Hip-Hop is a culture
Looking outside your window and watching from afar doesn't mean you know Hip-Hop
It ain't where you from, it's where you at - Rakim
You don't even know where I'm from...LOL
You a funny dude
And for someone who champions Street Lit, which has it's own share of misogny, you have the nerve to see how I response to those two posters
Okay, let me ask you these questions:
How do you feel about misogny in Street Fiction?
What do you know about Hip-Hop?
And don't Google either...LOL
