According to that article, mainstream hip-hop is garbage and is in fact trying to make you stupid.

Please, read it. Of course, if you really are stupid, then you probably can't read it. (I find it humorous that the basis of the article was trying to promote intellectual growth in those that it had said are incapable of such a thing due to a life of Hip-Hop.) Now obviously, a lot of people in this forum alone are far from stupid. But the validity of what the man had written remains true. (Cause there are a lot of people here who are also quite incompetent.)

But if I could change one thing in that article, it would be that commercial Hip-Hop is not trying to target black people. Because it aint targeting black people. Last time I checked, the majority of sales in rap music made up of white teenagers.

Anyway... Heres the link again in case you missed it the first time.

Well sub-consciensly trying to make you stupid.

Anyway, he brings up a couple of good points, i think.

But overall, he does it with a lot of bad points to accompany the few good ones.

Unbalanced, he should've weighed his argument better.

Anyway, couldn't help laughing at this part:-

"I once heard of a book that told of a diabolical plot by the media to lower the IQ of the American public..."

relating to the above"...when you put that conspiracy theory in the context of Hip Hop it becomes more believable"..


Jebus Allah Buddha!!

PS

I only got half way through, then my brain had some sort of over-load...the words became harder to read, and pronounce, what did they mean i asked my dictionairy, it did not reply.

"But you listen to very little mainstream hip-hop"

Erm...and your point is?!....oh!...

im too stupid/lazy to read it all

but i agree that mainstream gangsta rap is mostly stupid peeps like dmx are pretty stupid but not all hip hop, alots way more clever then other types of music, woch other music genra uses language techniques and wordplay to implie things and hidden messages.
a lot of rappers are stupid tho especialy dirty south ones

cliff notes?

*Sighs* ... Its true tho..

Havent read it, I will print it off, and read it in school.

Oh yeah, I will have a talk with however wrote this or whatever. I do it all the time, people talking about hip hop being a fad, or how its non-talent music.
I make them all shut up fairly quickly.

hmm.......mainstream music designed to keep people stupid. true enough, the media IS controlled, but fortunately some artists still make records with meaning. theres just a whole LOT of musicians in a lot of genres who care more about profits and creating an image than artist integrity.

this isnt anything new, necro. and yes i did read the whole article. but this anti-black theory that keeps getting pushed around, along with this black revolutionaries in gangsta masks theory....i dunno, i dont think theres gonna be a war between races in the US, sounds like fake hype.

word. this shit sounds actually accurate.

listen to the song "I Can" by Nas
and then listen to 50 Cents' "In The Club"

see how kids request 50 cents joint more than nas'

and both tracks are quality dopeness...but in my opinion I Can is way fuckin iller....

he makes a couple of good points but its mostly shit

but "Hip Hopology" should be added to the dictionary:D

its kinda sad...

who is he to judge anybody...for one he wasted his time writing this...he proves himself wrong 90% of the time...its kinda humurous...for two...he has like 3 good points...wow...he must feel alot better after typing all that bullshit...
