I voted yes, but only if you are a street thug. Outside of that...it's just something else that adds 'trash' to our society. Anyone can do rap, it's not based on talent. It's based on 'lazy' singing/talent and little positivity.
I can think of at least three people who will pop their heads in this thread and argue in favor of rap, then this thread will go to crap.
I vote no. Yes, I'm sure there are facts within their lyrics, but to call it a good source of factual information is laughable.

I don't know about all of this HW. I respectfully request that you remove your opinion from this thread, although you are thoroughly entitled to it. I would like to keep this one on topic and objective.
I personally don't think all rap is bad and dark, but I definitely wouldn't TRUST them as a source or utilize it as a primary source of information.
Thank you for your support of objectivity in this thread in advance. I am just trying to avoid finger pointing in this one.

I do agree with this though, it would be a good source of information for a "street thug", but let's talk about you and I and the rest of Human society. Would it be a good source of FACTUAL information, and would you believe it as fact without first cross referencing the information?

Well, street smarts is something I am acquainted with, due to my own childhood. Rap is truly about expressing a part of society's anger and/or sexuality. I could not say in any way that it offers 'factual' information as a resource, but it does offer 'situational' facts of part of society's lifestyle. Perhaps, it just cements the negative feelings that so much of society feels 'already' about 'the street' (i.e., thugs). Perhaps, it just cements part of society's feelings about those who chose to remain in the 'darker side of life', and enhance that furthermore with reconfirming that 'entire idea' through their rap music, versus encouraging music for those on the streets, to make change? It's music that is a burden on society, versus a positive expression. Who really wants to 'relate' to rap? Those who already live on the 'dark side' or those who know no better (youth).
He was using the lyrics to make a point eesydo. I am not saying I agree or disagree with his statment but this is the political forum and has nothing to do with politics at all. Matter of fact this is pretty close to a personal attack.
