The True Meaning Of Rap

First off, if you're a rap hater and you're reading this, then back down now if you want to. But from now on stop your endless ranting, raving and bitching about rap being crap because no one is listening to you anymore. You've made your point---or at least tried to. That's all.

Many people say rap sucks because it's just words. You're sort of right on the words part. But have you even listened to the words in a Tupac song? And the beats that back those up? Didn't think so. And that's why many of you haters hate---because you listen to the first 3 seconds of it and then decide the whole genre sucks. If you listen closely, you'll learn Tupac and others rap about love, and many other important things in life. There are also many of you who also hate a genre just because another person does. Now THAT's pathetic. Don't even get me started on that life lesson there.

There are some kinds of rap that DO suck. Stuff like 50 Cent, G-Unit, Yung Joc, all those fuckheads who rap only about hoes, money, drugs and cars. That's MAINSTREAM rap. And I'm sure most of you hate rap because this mainstream rap is the only shit you've ever heard. Go grab yourself a fucking Kanye West or Eminem CD, fucktards. And actually listen to the words they say, then come back and tell me they didn't move you. I dare you.

And by the way, note that a rap song won an Oscar this year. Only proves my point that people like rap.

Now, I've been a resident of the U.S. ever sice I was born. Since then I have come to realize this: that the majority of this country is white people. What I'm about to say, I am not trying to be racist in any way. But I know that most white people like rock and hate rap. That is one of the reasons rap has been kicked around ever since the turn of the new millenium and maybe before that. But to all you white people who like rock and all that other stuff: do you see us dissing it all the time?

Didn't think so.

So why do it to us? Unless all of you are racist yourselves and still unmoved by Martin Luther King's speech and other blacks' actions all those years ago as we tried to spread the word that we should all be UNITED AND TREATED EQUALLY, still hating on us blacks and, (say it isn't so!) the MUSIC we make now? It is music nonetheless, made mostly by a African-American race, and it deserves its respect as well. Allow me to say, as politely as I can, shut the fuck up.

In closing, I would like to say, stop hating on our music, because we seldom hate on yours. That's equal treatment, don't you think?

Geez, and I'm not much of a rap fan, yet I'm sticking up for it. Goes to show what one person's ignorance can do.
And THAT, folks, is the true meaning of rap.

A True Metal Head

'Just a general Metal head typically seen with non-tight jeans, casual shoes, and an Iron Maiden shirt. Will listen to a wide spectrum of metal from Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath to Pantera. The best and least annoying type of Metal head, tough, down to earth, he doesn't feel the need to tell the world he likes metal with gimmicky clothing styles or cliques, he simply gets on with his own life and lets other get on with theirs.'
ex.1:
kid1: 'dude, that kid is such a true metal head'
kid2: 'yeah, with is non-tight jeans and his casual shoes'
kid1: 'must be one of the last of his kind'

Real True Christians

Monotheistic followers of Jesus who:

1. Search for the truth instead searching for a belief that makes them feel good about themselves.

2. Serve God instead of themselves or their own desires.

3. Completely accept the Bible as the complete, authoritative source of information about God.

4. Take it upon themselves to be Christian rather than expect clerics to serve as proxy Christians for them.

5. Obey God's word because they love and respect God enough to obey Him, instead of working even harder to come up with excuses not to obey God.

6. Do not introduce man-made philosophies or pagan customs into their worship and pretend that they have something to do with Jesus.

7. Obey God rather than men when the two are in conflict.

8. Do not follow self-appointed prophets or messiahs.
I prefer honest pagans and Real True Christians to those who pretend that the fertility symbols of Easter, such as eggs, rabbits, and maidens dressed in white have something to do with Jesus.

The True Meaning Of Rap

I'm sorry dude, but I will have to disagree on some points. Rap is great, and you're right: Some rappers do rap about love and life lessons.

You are wrong about other rappers such as 50 Cent et al. 50 Cent also raps about life lessons: Some people don't want you to succeed and will resort to some drastic means in order to make your life miserable.

Rap isn't all about "making money." People need to read into the existential reason that people rap and what the lyrics mean.
The True Meaning of Rap is beyond making money and the segregation of said "Real Rappers" vs "Gangsta Rappers."

Christian (True Christian)

please read and bear with it the whole way

First of all, not all Christians are a bunch of "dickheads" who believe their better than everyone else and discriminate others for not following "unfair rules" in some old book. This is what a Christian should truly be and display in everyday life, because it says so in the Bible itself.

A Real Christ Following Christian, and I'm not talking about the people who say they believe in God just so they think they'll go to heaven, is one that shows Christ's love everyday of their life, not discriminating everyone else around them for what they believe or think of themselves as better people. True Christians are the ones that TRULY know God's Word (the Bible) and follow it everyday, and God blesses them, not because they're simply Christians, but because they do what they're supposed to according to the Bible. A person who prays to God and spends time with him and reads his Word to learn more about him. Not people who go and tell others what is wrong with them, but reach out to the world and help them by bringing God into their life, and therefore have true happiness. Not the "happiness" that you get from being buzzed, or high, or losing your viriginity, which ALL AND ALWAYS result in future consequence and hinder you from true happiness (In God), although they will feel good at first, which is the immediate consequence. And Also people who don't just believe that good deeds will get them to heaven, but through Jesus Christ's salvation and living in his example to their best ability, although not perfectly, ever. And also believe that he is the ONLYY way to heaven, and there is no other way.

True Christians are also easy to pick out because they publicly claim to be them no matter what, and are truly happy because God fills their life with joy and show it to the rest of world.

If you read all of this, i commend you, and it comes from a Christian standpoint.
A Christian (True Christian); a person who follows God's Word, has seeked salvation in Christ alone, and displays God's love to others every chance they get.
