It would go over your head because your hearing aids couldn't keep up. However, even if they could keep up, you wouldn't understand. Why don't you go start another thread/make a bunch of posts that belong in the P and R and buzz off. If you do, I promise to tell the neighborhood kids to stay off your lawn.

Tupac was not a great lyricist, but his passion and social commentary was quite good. In fact, what he was rapping about in the 90's that so many people blew off as bullshit ended up being true. I'm not going to cite to anything as this is not the P and R, but time has validated his claims.
Biggie told wonderful stories and painted pictures with his words. Nas was probably in between the two of them in regards to style.
Jay Z has made wonderful albums and a lot of turds, but he's a legend for a reason.
Forgive me, Klinger, that I remember when music had taste. When it had appeal to all types of people instead of an angry few with one angry worldview. My ears have had enough of such pollution.
...and stay of my lawn.
I miss the old Mile High Stadium.
I don't like rap either.
Let's Rid3!!!!
You're quite correct about that. Any baboon can jab a stick in the dirt, grunt and call it music. It appeals to a prehistoric cortex in the brain that even subhumans have. The less sophisticated a music form is, the more idiots want to play them at ear-splitting decibels. That's why you never hear someone low-riding through the ghetto with Mozart or Vivaldi blasting through their speakers. Facts are stubborn things.
I miss the old Mile High Stadium.
1. Thank you again for another blatantly racist statement. Please refer to rappers being monkeys more often; it's not like it's a predominantly black art.
2. In spite of the predominance from one culture, it is immensely popular around the world. Now take that little factoid into consideration when you talk about "When it had appeal to all types of people instead of an angry few with one angry worldview." Do you even think when you post? Is it that hard to keep together a continuity of thoughts?
3. You literally just said that all black people in the ghetto who listen to music lack sophistication, subhuman, and called it a fact.
So let's just talk about the ghetto for a second. We can trace through history when African Americans have been forced into poverty in America. One such time was when they were systemically denied access to affordable housing. Now I'm not going to give away everything for you, because I want you to at least try to put some effort in, but there is a very OBVIOUS time when the American government was doling out access to owning a home. You should be able to figure this out. When this occurred there was an obvious disparity, and eventually, after some time at that, said disparity was taken care of. However, the predominant group (white people) damn near en masse left the areas that they were living in because the other large group of people were starting to move into those areas.
Now, the tricky part is when you have to take a factoid and make sense of it with another factoid. So what happens if you pay for schooling (historically a consistent way to get out of poverty) with property taxes? The education quality would be linked to the area, right? So what happens the people in the nice homes (that they got for a ******* song via the government) leave en masse and less popular people (en masse) move in? The neighborhood worth goes down. Which means there's less money for what? Education.
You want a living example of this? Take a look at minority populations in cities and then compare it to the white populace in cities. Then look at the ******* suburbs. Then look at gentrification for examples of it working in reverse.
Now outside of the wonderful history lesson I just gave you for free (See how benevolent I am?), the real point is that you have people who now live in ghettos as a result. So in other words, they didn't gather there like a bunch of mongoloid humanistic beasts like you think; there were essentially put there. So what form of expression do people turn to with great regularity? Music. And what happens when people turn to music as a means of creation, expression, and damn near therapy or cathartic experience? They infuse their ******* experiences.
So it's no surprise that you have contemporary music about crime, drugs, and the like. Because that's what happens in the ghettos. Splash in womanizing and misogynistic tendencies because, well, that is ubiquitous in music today and there you have it. So again, Hoofer, they're making music about their life. A life they never asked for and were born into. Now, what is common today is that you have a lot of guys rapping about things they've never done, but they're selling a dream, or a 'spectacle' version of a life - so the guy who sells dimebags of weed all day hears Rick Ross rhyming about moving kilos of cocaine; it's not too much different from anything else. I write for fun -- I dream of being a best selling author (fat chance). I work in a law office; I dream of being an attorney.
Now I of course get to choose my life and take control of it in a much higher capacity because of the situation I was born into.

I grew up on Bone, Eminem, Too Short, Jay Z, Wyclef/The Fugees, Warren G, Beastie Boys, Dre, Snoop... In recent years have gotten more into Lil Wayne, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Macklemore, some Kanye (though I hate him), etc.
