Ayura, shut up. I shut you up before on this topic, its now getting redundant.

"How many white kids try and act like eminem, just because they think he's cool, and will switch culture at the drop of a dime. That's insulting to the culture dont you agree?"

-Not at all. Its only an insult if you take it as one. I could really care less. People are people and people do dumb things. I've accepted it.

"Mainstream Hip Hop is the goverments exploitment to degrade the race of blacks, by supplying them with expressive enjoyment via media exposure through the goverments usage of controversial structure. Thus stereotypes blacks as dangerous people. Thus degrading them to the worlds society."

-Hip Hop hasn't done that, mainstream rap hasn't done that. History has. Blacks have been seen as trouble making bunches that are good for nothing...except picking cotton forever. That was far before rap music ever existed. During the 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's (and before that as well), blacks have been seen as the ones that cause trouble, and if anything wrong happens, they did it. You think blacks had to use different bathrooms than whites because of rap music?...something that wouldn't exist for at least 30 years.
-Blacks have done a good enough job of living up to their stereotype if you haven't noticed. Not that I'm racist, because its not completely their faults, they’ve been put into a situation which is incredibly hard to get out of. When you live in a run down ’ghetto’, because you can’t get out, for lack of money, and other reasons on top of that, you become subject to the likeliness of succumbing to the common affairs of that ghetto. And on top of that, as if it wasn’t already enough, they have been given the stereotype of “bad”, and its much easier to fall into a stereotype than it is to not.

"commerical artists, I think are payed to say the stuff they say as a blackmail confrontation. Although I dont think what they are doing."

-Are you serious?...you do realize the government wanted to get rid of NWA right? And thats pretty much who you can thank for the start of "gangsta rap".
Bud, stop with the bullshit, all these conspiracies. What next, 50 Cent is actually an alien who was captured by the army, brainwashed by scientists at Area 51 to be a "gangsta rapper"?

"However underground hip hop, is just raw and really educational (in certain aspects). Its a positive thing, and is mature entertainment. Is it not?"

Are you serious? Go listen to Necro or Ill Bill, tell me thats educational. There are all different types of underground artists, some are positive, some are stupid, some are just underground because they can't make it mainstream. There's everything...
