I'll start off with you numberfive in saying that you are right, I don't get this mainstream rap people listen to today. I don't get why people can listen to people talk about how rich they are, how many ho's they've banged, how much bling bling they have and so on. Gangsta rap is a pointless genre of music, but that's my opinion. Maybe I should have specified that in the title of the thread. And you IC3, I'm not denying that what I hear isn't the so called 'true hiphop' or whatever, because I myself know it isn't hiphop, it's garbage. The 'true hiphop' you speak of probably dosent have anything to do with bling blng and shit, and that's a good thing. And costello, i'll tell you the same thing I told numberfive, gangsta rap is pointless and I should have put that I meant gangsta rap in the thread title. No need to get angry, but you said that we base our opinions upon what we hear on TV and Radio, right? And that makes you angry? But isn't that what we Americans do? Most American opinions are based off of what we hear and see as it is. As for you K-Wise, I'll agree that all the new pop-punk bands sound the same, and I hate them as much as I hate gangsta rap. But saying that I have a subconcious bias towards rap because I don't like it and that I want it all to sound the same but it really dosent, let me ask you, have you heard the rap I have been telling you I hate lately? The pop/gangsta rap on the radio and on TV? It does all sound the same, and thats the rap I hate! As I told IC3 the underground rap as you call it probably dosen't go on and on about bling bling and that's good! None of the gangsta rap is good written lyrics, it's all stupid, and I agree w/ you again they didn't write their shitty bling bling lyrics for me, or you or anyone. They wrote it because they know that teenie bopper kids who think listening to Parental Advisory CD's is cool, and that those kids can and will con parents in to buying it for them. It's either those kids who con parents, or the people who think they have to be cool, so they'll get mainstream rap music to have something in comon with their peers. Now if you have anything else to say go for it.
