Rap is not a fashion statement that is going to fade in a couple of years ( maybe in the suburbs but that's why you people don't understand, but let me explain). Rap is more than music, rap is a culture (hip-hop), with that said if you insult rap, you insult a whole culture. Maybe white kids in the suburbs are now deciding to listen to rap because it is the cool thing to do, but you got to understand that rap is the language of not only the young african americans, but also of the working class and the oppressed. I understand there is some shitty music in rap now, because rap is not controlled by rappers anymore but by the industry (people who hate rap like you guys but that are making a lot of cash with it). And know you're history, when a music genre is too much popular and generates a lot of money it always becomes shit, it happened to rock and now it's happening to rap. If raps doesn't require any talent, then please, try. Try to speak with poetry to a whole generation that listens to you, and to make them bounce while at it. Personnaly i would love to hear it, and laugh at it. It's normal to not understand rap, like if you're not born in italy you don't understand italian, because rap is a language. But please, don't make statements disrespecting a culture and a music that you don't even know. Hate against rap is really comparable to racism or fascism, and what's funny is that you don't even realise it. If rap is not your cup of tea , let it be, but don't make bold statements that you would never do in public if it's not in front of you're skater white friends. Rap is a music that you got to respect if you don't like it, like I respect punk rock, event if I don't bump this in my car. Rap is not just drugs, prostitutes and alcohol, but it's that too...because maybe it's not possible in your reality, but for us it's custom to have prostitutes, crackheads or alcoholics as our neighbours. Thank you, Good bye. Biatch.
