I've said on here b4 that rap and hip-hop are two different things. Rap to me can be incoporated in hip hop. Rap is not all negative, but it is in a depressing state because we have those who claim that it's all negative and about 40's and guns and violence and sex, but sometimes that stuff is necessary. There may be an over saturation of these things, but what makes me upset are the whack rappers who cry about rap being negative, but don't have any skills or half ass what they claim to be a "concious effort" without fully examining the subject matter and content of their lyrics, then getting upset because no one is feeling them and blame the "negative" rap for brain washing everyone and depreciating the value of "real music". Which is why I am upset with whoever started this thread, and those who responded because none of you from what I read had anything of value to say.
