Bro honestly shut the **** up on thinking you know what people's reaction when they have lived in those types of environments.
You don't understand how that will always be home. I still go back in the summers to visit because no matter what my worst and best memories were there as was my childhood. There's rappers really did grow up in the hood so please stop with your dumbass typical rap hate comments with mass generalizations because some rappers come from decent homes and a decent amount don't. The ones who do and can write about subjects that I can relate from my past are what makes the music worth it for me.
Strong making generic hip hop equal to all hip hop when there's thousands of rappers who don't glorify the hood.
I'm usually the last person defending rap.
And Negged for being so ridiculously narrow minded. You sound like an idiot rambling on basing your argument on generic main stream rap.

Dudes in the S&P post rap all the time.
I'd like to come to your house with a van, and take you and the rest of these fanboys to the nearest MLK Blvd., and drop you off for a month. I can 100% guarantee that once you see real crime and poverty, and have to live in the middle of it, the last thing you'll do is listen to that bubblegum crap. I feel sorry for anyone that thinks that is "art", "music", or anything even remotely resembling culture.
The cruel irony is that your parents busted their asses to keep you out of that world, probably worked two jobs so that they could afford to live in a decent neighborhood, and you're probably sitting in a college dorm raging about my opinion. #thuglifeFor God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. - John 3:16 (KJV)

All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

I'm not making an attack on anyone's age. I've been attacked several times by others for mine, but age isn't even the issue to me. I can post YouTube videos of kids under 7 playing difficult pieces on piano,etc., all day long. My point is that somehow people have been convinced that rap and pop culture are legitimate art. Dudes itt are raging because the truth hurts. No one else will stand up and say it, so they're not used to hearing it, and it's a shock to their system. It's about time people with actual talent and skill came to the front, and we quit enabling all of this stupidity.

Don't really care to argue whether rap is art or not. Tried to mention that in the beginning of this thread. But poetic, yeah. Entertaining, yeah. You said you liked thriller because it told a story. A lot of rap is story telling as well. It's not that serious. Some of the stuff rappers come up with is hilarious and worth a laugh, for me, anyway.

the thing is, art is subjective. rap shouldn't be scrutinized in the same way that classical music is, because it's a totally different thing. biggie couldn't write a concerto, the same way bach couldn't be a rapper. neither is better than the other, they are just different. what you're saying isn't blowing anyone's mind, we just know better than to be pretentious about something as subjective as music, because it just makes you look like a dick.

I stopped reading here, and felt like I was having an out of body experience. Any baby, when they're first learning to talk, actually raps: "D-d-d-d-d-dadda". It requires zero skill, and yet still needs a team of writers, producers, and marketing staff to get off the ground. In my day, we had Run D.M.C. At least they had enough sense to rip off actual music ("Sample" - lol) and talk over it. The current crop of deludinoids is so far gone that they don't even bother to steal other people's music, and actually thinks they have musical ability.

i don't see why you have a problem with rapping. it's just rhymingover a beat, man. do you hate rhyming? do you hate beats? or do you just hate when the two are put together? i mean, listen to a ghostface song, listen to all the wild/funny **** that guy says, and the awesome rza beats behind him. i don't understand what's not to like. have you ever been drunk with your friends and had a rap battle? you seem like you're probably too uptight to think that was fun, you'd probably be the guy sitting in the corner with his arms crossed telling himself that he's too intellectually superior.

Billie Jean came on up on my ipod and I hadn't heard it in so long. Was on repeat 5 times minimum great song. Michael Jackson has some amazing songs man. Maybe it was because as a kid, I had all the concerts on VHS and would watch them but damn...
Now, we literally use a phat ass to sell music. If you think Iggy would be popular without dat ass.... just lol.

I think the take away message is that there will always be people like Srben or rather, all of us will have moments like Srben. To illustrate:
William F. Buckley Jr.
Boston Globe
Sept. 13, 1964
An estimable critic writing for National Review, after seeing Presley writhe his way through one of Ed Sullivan's shows … suggested that future entertainers would have to wrestle with live octopuses in order to entertain a mass American audience. The XXX don't in fact do this, but how one wishes they did! And how this one wishes the octopus would win….
The XXX are not merely awful; I would consider it sacrilegious to say anything less than that they are god awful. They are so unbelievably horribly, so appallingly unmusical, so dogmatically insensitive to the magic of the art that they qualify as crowned heads of anti-music, even as the imposter popes went down in history as "anti-popes."

Newsweek
Feb. 24, 1964
Visually they are a nightmare, tight, dandified Edwardian-Beatnik suits and great pudding bowls of hair. Musically they are a near disaster, guitars and drums slamming out a merciless beat that does away with secondary rhythms, harmony and melody. Their lyrics (punctuated by nutty shouts of "yeah, yeah, yeah") are a catastrophe, a preposterous farrago of Valentine-card romantic sentiments….
The big question in the music business at the moment is, will the XXX last? The odds are that, in the words of another era, they're too hot not to cool down, and a cooled-down XXX is hard to picture. It is also hard to imagine any other field in which they could apply their talents, and so the odds are that they will fade away, as most adults confidently predict. But the odds in show business have a way of being broken, and the XXX have more showmanship than any group in years; they might just think up a new field for themselves. After all, they have done it already.

Theodore Strongin
New York Times
Feb. 10, 1964
The XXX' vocal quality can be described as hoarsely incoherent, with the minimal enunciation necessary to communicate the schematic texts.
Two theories were offered in at least one household to explain the XXX' popularity. The specialist said: "We haven't had an idol in a few years. The XXX are different, and we have to get rid of our excess energy somehow."
The other theory is that the longer parents object with such high dudgeon, the longer children will squeal so hysterically.
Bottom line:

Implying most of the beatles songs were not garbage.
Beatles and rolling stone set a foundation for most of todays musical genres. Their music for the most part was trash and degenerate, but there was novelty in the music so people enjoyed it.
Compare some of today's "best" bands to composers like Hans Zimmer, Max Richter, Harry Gregson-williams. There is a reason their music is used in video games and movies today. Because music isn't susposed to be completely about entertainment. Its about creating emotion, feeling. It isn't suppose to disconnect you from the world, but put you back into the world, and enhance it.
This is the main problem in today's society. People are disconnected to objective reality they become liberals and think all people are equal, they think each life is precious(but only if it has been born, if its still in the womb its as worthless at the chit that comes out of your ass) even though 500,000 people died for <1 mile in WW1. They have never experienced objective reality. They have never felt true fear(outside of having a gun pointed at you with the intent to kill), true love(without divorce, completely trust in each other for life), true friendship(loyalty to the end, how many "friends" do you have that you know are 100% loyal to you to the end?) because this degenerate society does not reward these traits but punishes it.

Go to the park and sit on a bench listening to this
Then do it and listen to any of today's popular music. Pop, rock, rap etc..
Feel the difference.

In response to above.
Societie's morals are changing today, I think everyone knows this, and this art is clearly representative of that. So to call this video unartistic is stupid. Maybe its not musically artistic to some of you, or you won't admit it, but it's visually artistic.
The artist calls herself Lil Debbie. Look at all of the responses in this thread expecting and posting pictures of Little Debbie cup cakes etc. Now think of when Andy Warhol painted can of Campbell's Tomato Soup and pictures of Marlynne Monroe? Those painting where sold as art and a lot of people had a problem with that. Maybe her name being Lil Debbie is just a coincidence, but still felt it should be pointed out.
Look at Riff Raff, a rapper who works with Lil Debbie, who is a guy covered in brand tattoos like BET and Bart Simpson. That is all part of his image and performance like Warhol. So what I'm saying is its not all about music here. Composers didn't make music videos. This is progression.

IQ scores increase each generation. The education system has problems, but it also has improved over time. College is much more competitive now.
Having to reread the Declaration of Independence doesn't mean society is dumber; it means the language has evolved. For example, old english is obviously outdated. Struggling to read untranslated Shakespearing plays isn't a sign of stupidity.
