Rap is a genre of music, a poetic, realistic rhyme put to a
beat.
It used to be a respectful, decent form of music, however, it has turned bad, into utter crap listened to by posers.
MODERN (CRAP) RAP:
50 Cent/G-Unit
Mike Jones
Lil Jon
Ying Yang Twins (tweedle-
dee, tweedle-dum)
All other "Crunk" artists.
CLASSIC (REAL) RAP:
Dr. Dre
RAKIM
Jay-Z
NWA
Snoop Dogg
Rap has since turned into mindless idiots rapping about jewelry,
money, prostitutes, wheels, & luxury SUVs.
Yes, old rap is the true
definition of rap, not the crap you see on
MTV everyday. Rap has promoted: bad treatment of women, selling
drugs, wasting
money on a Cadillac Escalade, and dropping out of school.
However, I have very little respect and DISLIKE Snoop Dogg very much, because he is a HORRIBLE example for teens everywhere, and (in my opinion) belongs in jail. His music is extremely negative and promotes gangs, crime,
drugs, and everything else I mentioned above.
I have the most respect for Dr. Dre, because he's a smart, decent man, with creative ideas. He went somewhere with his life, and does a good job of depicting life for most poor minorities in the ghettos. His work is wonderful, and he deserves many awards.
Too bad this can'
t be said about most new rappers, although there are some good new rappers, such as: Lupe Fiasco and
Eminem.
Rap sucks now..
