Pop Lotty and me joined a Degrassi site, cuz we're hood, and someone made a thread called "Who listens to rap?"
Here are some excerpts of what followed...
"hey okay yeah rap music is about bling, girls and 40 in rims"
"Rap is meaningless all they do is talk crap real fast. Majority of rappers (yes there is a small percentage that is good) rap about their bitches and cars, bling bling and money who gives a damn??!! There's more important things going on in the world than how much money you make and how many girls you get. They're just disrespectful to women. I reckon if you're gonna become famous you should become famous for a GOOD REASON."
"thats stupid... rockers do have cars and money, and i dont hate them, yet i hate rappers who sing about that... its beacause their lyrics dont have any sense or meaning... theyre just stupid "chillin at da holidae inn" what a stupid song... and that PIMP song by 50 cent... IDIOTIC "
"whats so interesting about listening to people talking about their bitches and hoes and cars and bling bling and money??? They are basically singing about the same thing over and over again but changing the music behind it. duh. Rap is the worst thing that was ever brought into the music world. "
"I would have to agree with trulove. Is it a rule that you have to listen to rap to be cool. I mean this is ridiculas. To me rap is all the same. Why would you want to listen to somebody brag about how much money they got and all their cars and everything else. All these rappers act all big and bad yet when a gun is pulled on them they run scared. These guys dont go on tour and if they do they put on a boring show with a whole bunch of their "homeboyz" on the stage trying to rap and you dont even hear the person you came to see. you just see the twenty people that are on the stage signing the same song. ohh and dont forget they go to the clubs and perform they cant see out a arena or a theater. I hate rap with a passion. It is not true music. Rock is where the passion is and if you dont agree with me you dont know anything about music"
"i hope you get poisoning from the paint that you use on your plastic bling-bling to make it seem real. "
We need to do something. I can't argue with everyone. Trust, me and that nigga Pop held it DOWN and the stopped posting in the threads.
But i'm disgusted that this is how rap is seen by others, what are we gunna do?
