Yeah, but other genres of music also involve, say, OTHER THINGS It's a whole lot easier to find a rock song about something OTHER than sex, drugs, women, and money than it is to find a rap song that doesn't deal with them. I get that rappers write songs about those topics because rap music is more about image than actual talent, but you'll probably notice that the rappers who write songs that *don't* deal with those are the ones who get respect from a larger group of people. I mean, I hate rap, but I'll listen to Eminem's Stan any day. It's a deep song in a shallow genre. That's what sets apart the talented rappers from the idiots that over power the entire genre.

All musicians are in the spotlight. Not just Rappers. And to answer the original question: EVERYONE 0_O

im aware of that.. i meant compared to HIM.. rappers (Musicians) Are more in the spotlight and come on as more of a role model to people that that kid...

[Eury]

True, they do come on as a role model. But most of the time, not a good role model.

 

All they talk about these days is sex, drugs, money and murder or something of the sort. Now, tell me how this makes a rapper a good role model for kids.

[Guest Random Dude]

I think it leads kids into drugs and gang violence.

Its takes more than music. Or I guess friends, peer pressure and bad parenting have nothing to do with it. Its just Rap music and nothing else. Why are the rappers picked on so much? Ive heard other music genres talk about horrible stuff.

If someone listens to a rap song, then immediatley wants to join a gang, they're dumb. Don't blame a genre of music for person's dumb decisions.

Exactly my point.

[Wuu.]

Can't have YCM with dumbfucks shitting the walls.

 

All bastards trashing about rap sucks balls should stop posting any post regarding it and learn its history.

[Tabris]

Eminem' date=' Grandmaster Flash, Public Enemy, Tupac, The Notorious B.I.G, Manau, Rapsoul, MC Solaar, TAMAONSEN say hai.

And why someone would hate Rap in general. It's just, there's a lot of crap that got stuffed into this genre that it's hard to dig the good stuff out.

 

Well, master, that's any genre if you think about it. It's not just rap. Just take a look at metal--the focus of 99% of YCM's members. Sure, most of us here love it, but if you look at the big picture, there's A LOT of crap on the metal scene. Every genre is stuffed with a ton of crap that makes it hard to find the gems. It just so happens that rap is one of the most popular genres, therefore making it more apparent to us.

 

But Country is the one genre where you can't go wrong.

So what? The kids ultimately decide whether to do whatever the rapper commands them to do, and unless they're bribed, abused, or something, the next generation won't do sheet.

Yeah, and I shoot down every police officer in Broadway and blame it on watching a really crappy rendition of Back to Methuselah.

thanks you!!

 

its just that rappers are more clear about what they say and rap in very much in the spotlight these days so MOST people hear their music and what they have to say... if you look back 20 years there was practically ZERO rap on the radio

the thing is most rappers arent good role models! they dont choose to be role models.. but some kids and people look up to them... and if they look up to them for what they do or what they say why should they stop doing whatever or sayin?? it is inappropriate! yes is very much is.. but they get paid ALOT for what they do so why should they stop??...

correct!... just cause one person talks about something and says its cool dosnt mean it is!

[Guest Random Dude]

I live in a really gang-infested place, I don't like rap because it just encourages more gang violence here. There is a lot of drug traffic, murder, and a ton of other $#!t and all of it can be traced to rap, at least where I live.(south Texas, right across the border from Mexico)

[~Makaveli~]

^ Rap dosnt encourage drung use or gang volince!! ^

 

southern texas is just a really bad place to begin with!... if you knew rap at all most sothern style rap is NOT all just this gangster stuff!!

I will say that rap music can't take all the blame for the gang violence and subtance abuse out there, but saying that it doesn't encourage it is just wrong. True, ultimately it comes down to the decision and self-control of the individual. Rappers have every right to say whatever they want. But denying that what they say encourages violence and gang activity... I think we need a reality check there.

Some rap celebrates gang violence, drugs, etc., but I wouldn't say that it tells people to join gangs or smoke those actual drugs. So yes, I believe self control is what makes people do those things 100% of the time.

yeahh but this is also just one side of music... think about Rock and Emo and heavy metal music and all the riots and all of that stuff that have erupted because of that.. so rap music is somewhat inappropriate in many ways but that is only from one stand point.. BUT it is not the only kind violent, negative music out there for everybody to listen to

No one said it was. But no matter what genre you prefer, any negative influence from an outside source can't take all the blame for negative actions. Self-control is the final deciding factor.

exactly.. so people cant just blame rap for all the drugs, gangs, cussing, and bad choices.. it ultimately comes down to the person making that decision..

[Gascan]

Rap is not crap, that's only the mainstream brand of Rap. The underground Hip-Hop scene is totally legit.

 

If people would actually do some research before b****ing, thay'd come across awesome songs and artists like AL Third:

 

And Bobby Ray:
