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..
