All Rap Music Isn't Bad

[isiahthomas]

I get tired of people like RetroTVCollector aka Solomon saying he can't stand rap music. Every single rapper isn't bad. Have you taken the time to listen to rappers like Dead Prez, Paris, The Coup, Kam, Poor Righteous Teachers, Geto Boys, KRS One, Public Enemy, Channel Live, Goodie Mob, 2Pac, Ice Cube, Da Lench Mob? I'm sure you haven't heard any of these rappers Solomon because you only hear what the white media tells you about rap music being bad and every song is about violence and sex. Plus there's a lot of cursin. These rappers i named up above have rapped about politics, education and stuff going on in the black community that needs to be talked about. The reason why most intelligent political rappers don't sell is because ignorant blacks don't wanna hear positive music. All they wanna hear is the negative stuff because that's what they think is cool. I'm gonna post some lyrics to a few songs that tell the truth about ignorant blacks and they aren't ignorant songs. Peep these lyrics.


Goodie Mob's The Experience song from their Still Standing album

You know how a nig*a get when he see a nig*a's outfit. He don't want nobody to have what he ain't got so somebody get mad and get shot LOL. That's why the property value in a nig*a neighborhood ain't no good. So many black men out here trying to be nig*as, keepin it real to the point that they dying to be nig*as hahahahahahahahahahaha. The fact is you ain't a nig*a because you black. You a nig*a because of how you act.

Geto Boys Nig*as And Flies song from their The Resurrection album

Nig*as and flies always in some sh*t. Nig*a can't stay outta sh*t for sh*t LOL. Nig*a robbed a bank. Now everybody know cause the nig*a had a Rolls Royce driving through the ghetto LOL. Nig*a bought his ho a fur coat the next week and the police had his ass walkin butt naked down the street LOL. You want drama nig*a. I gots drama. What about these nig*as buying beemers living with they mama LOL. What about these tenna shoe chasing bi*ches f*ckin athletes to obtain them riches. They get mad when a nig*a call em hoes, tramps and sluts but if the shoe fits, lace it up LOL. Nig*as ain't good for sh*t but eating barbecue and holding other nig*as back is all we do hahahahahahahahahaha. Nig*as annoy me like flies. If it was up to me, i'd burn a gang of you hoes alive LOL.

I went to the million man march. It was all good. A bunch of nig*as standing up for their manhood but nig*as are so idiotic. They still found somethin f*cked up to say about it LOL. That's a nig*a for your ass g. Holla at a nig*a if you lookin for some negativity cause nig*as got plenty of it LOL. I think they love it. Clarence Thomas you a muthaf*ckin puppet. Ass kissing politicians ain't sh*t to me and muthaf*ck the NAACP LOL. Muthaf*ckin cowards suckin up to the sponsors. They couldn't give a f*ck about the black youngsters. So called black radio stations runnin they flap talkin about they don't play rap. Rap pays the bills muthaf*cka. It keeps a nig*a outta jail coc*sucker LOL. A nig*a get on top and nig*as hate it cause they can't stand to see another nig*a make it LOL. So how the f*ck nig*as coming together to take the first step when every nig*a is out for self LOL.


Bushwick Bill of the Geto Boys did a song called Letter From The KKK on his solo album Little Big Man. The song is basically talkin about the Ku Klux Klan is glad that black men are killing each other everyday so they don't have to hang nig*as anymore and shoot them. Willie D of the Geto Boys has a song on his solo album I'm Goin Out Like A Soldier called Go Back 2 School. He talks about young blacks need to stop cutting school and learn something. Scarface of the Geto Boys has a song called Smartz on his album The Untouchable. He talks about whites have been smarter than blacks for a long time and that blacks need to read more and educate themselves so they can be as smart as whites. See this is the problem i have with the white media. They have dogged the Geto Boys for so long because they think the Geto Boys always talk about sex and violence in their songs but the media never talks about the positive songs that they've made like the ones i've mentioned. Geto Boys did a song called No Sellout on their Grip It On That Other Level album talkin about they refuse to sellout and go pop. They also mentioned Public Enemy on the song saying that whites are afraid of Public Enemy because of the stuff they talk about on their songs. Geto Boys did another song called The World Is A Ghetto on their The Resurrection album that's positive.

I was expecting comments from ignorant white people like ya'll to say that.

What if i said all heavy metal music is bad, you would say i'm ignorant right? I already know the answer.

I'm not a big fan of rap, but, as I've been posting things in my rock and roll history thread about Rage Against the Machine which incorporated rap lyrics into their socially conscious songs, I do appreciate rap with a social statement to make, rather than the typical gangsta wannabe shoot'em-up machismo in so many songs. People have got to break the stereotype. I do enjoy social and political commentary in their lyrics. Interesting comment about the Getto Boys and their song about the KKK. Pretty sad that the Klan has to make stupid statements like that, bunch of inbreeds they all are in their pointy little dunce caps. I guess, for the sake of argument, if people of color "killed themselves off" as they say, that would kinda ruin business for the Kooky Klansmen, right? No black people to target.

Public Enemy has a racist redneck skit on their Apocalypse 91:The Enemy Strikes Black album. The white redneck is talkin about he's a member of the Ku Klux Klan and he wants to thank every nig*a for killing each other and getting locked up in prison so the Klan don't have to kill nig*as anymore. It's a shame that stuff like that goes right over black people's heads. Stuff like what that redneck said should be a wake up call to ignorant black men to stop killing each other and stop getting sent to prison for doing illegal stuff.

No, because I dont like heavy metal.

[isiahthomas]

My comment calling you ignorant wasn't racist. What type of music do you like since you don't like rap and heavy metal?

I really don't like Rap either, I like only like two rap artist that about it.

The only thing I got to say is that rap is a billion dollar industry. It rose from the streets of urban america and into the suburban homes. 80% of hip-hop consumers are white. There is good and bad rap. Rap ain't going nowhere, even though I don't listen to it anymore. Rap was good from around 1984-1997 to me.

GarfieldKool what you talkin about you don't listen to rap anymore? You're listening to the cd's i sent you LOL. GarfieldKool you need to continue to listen to rap and stop having the attitude that it's not good anymore because that's not true. A lot of the mc's you told me you used to like back in the day are still making music. It's just hard to find because they're on independent labels now because they figured out how the major labels were playing them. Rap industry is definitely a billion dollar industry now and that's because record labels are shady. They take as much money as they can from rappers and that's why so many rappers have disappeared because they got tired of the record labels taking the majority of their money. If most rappers would read their contracts instead of having a lawyer read their contracts for them, they wouldn't get taken advantage of. Most rappers would rather go to the club, smoke weed, buy expensive cars and add spinning rims, tv's, loud speakers and stereo system to their cars, f*ck as many women as they can, drink alcohol instead of reading and educating themselves about the music industry. Rappers aren't the only ones who've been robbed by the record labels. R&B singers have been robbed too by the record labels. Black artists period have been taken advantage of for years by record companies.

yeah, I'm listening to some of the cds you sent me, but what I am saying I don't turn on and listen to someone who is in the top 40. I wouldn't say rap is not good anymore, but it has changed. I know there a good rappers out there nowadays. But I'm just not feeling anyone anymore.
