Rap is a type of music that was created in Urban America and has since spread to the suburbs. Therefore it's audience takes in probably more whites than blacks however since most rap artists are blacks, they unfortunately give white people a very negative impression of their way of life since that is all white people see of them.
Rap is a very destructive phenomenon first of all because it undermines values that are necessary for a safe and productive community. Its message preaches that it is okay to kill people, it is okay to use drugs, abuse women and to be irresponsible when having sex. A lot of people that like rap try to defend their music by saying "well it's just music and they're just words. It can't possibly have any influence". If you tried to tell such a thing to Mozart, Stevie Wonder or Miles Davis, they would throw a fit. Of course music can change your mood and anyone who doesn't agree is just doing so because they are dependent on the rap industry for one reason or another. I know all the 50 cents will call me a white piece of shit for saying this but America especially in the black community desperately needs to adopt family values or people will continue to kill people over peanuts.
Another thing rap destroys is the black community. The music was created to vent anger created by years of being oppressed but it isn't getting the black community anywhere. Nobody is sticking it to the whiteman when a black kid is killed in a drive by shooting and the other one is sent to rott in jail for the rest of his life.
If you are a you are a black male who has adopted the hip hop look and you are wondering why you are being profiled by the police, don't blame us white people. Who are we supposed to arrest when people like Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg promote gang activity and say openly "fuck the police". It's a no brainer that the police are going to pick up kids that wear baggy t-shirts and du rags and that well to do white people are going to stay away from the inner city.
In America anyone that wants to make money can whether you are born black or white. The urban youth should use people like Derek Jeter as a role model instead of criminals because he is well mannered, succesful, clean cut and he has good family values.

Rap artists like 50 cent are responsible for creating negative stereotypes about how black people and other minorities are dangerous criminals. The message of gangster rappers have killed way more people than the Klu Klux Klan ever has or will. Gangster rappers should not be made into heros by the youth.
Stop listening to rap, get a respectable looking haircut, maser a productive activity and maybe you will end up with a nice family someday instead of being locked up in a hellish prison wasting the life you were blessed with.
Rap artists that spread evil messages should be on trial and put to death for spreading terroristic ideals.

Rap is the new Disco. It has brought a horrible form of music, culture and fashion into our world and when it is gone in ten years we will all look back and shake our heads in regret.
Yea, you heard me, for all those retards out there that listen to this stuff, youre like disco junkies in the 70's, rock outlasts everything, it evolves but is still rock nevertheless. YOU AND I ARE MORTAL BUT ROCK N ROLL WILL NEVER DIE- reel big fish
Rap- the antonym of good music

rap can be:
a) a solid genre of music that has artistic merit and lyrics with message and deeper meaning than the lyrics themselves (see eminem, 2pac, jedi mind tricks, nas, mos def)
b) a cliche genre that has really half assed lyrics about materialism (which seems to be going on more and more these days), girls, how better you are than other people. its basically all shit talking and things that you wouldnt have to really think about the lyrical content, or comprehend any kind of musical complexity (ie tempo, tone, mood of the song, different movements of the song) other than the rappers flow to the beat. im not saying its easy to rap (flow wise that is) but theres so many rappers out there that just couldnt care less about their art (ie 50 cent, Nelly, a shitload of others i cant name at the top of my head rite now) and just write a bunch of lyrics that have no meaning and nobody will ever remember in 20-25 years. the list can keep going on and on and it gives people the wrong impression about rap. dont get me wrong, i am a rocker and a musician myself, and i listen to just about any genre out there (except country or opera, everything else is fair game) but i listen to rap, just nothing that i listed above. dont diss rap until you have listened to artists who use their rap as an expression of their artistic concepts and views.

rap is just a good concept of a genre with its good artists who rap about what really matters and think deeper, but then theres many many other "artists" that really taint its credit as music and art

The use of rhythmic beats and words used to convey ones circumstances, experiences, or dreams past, present, or future. Rap is a form of poetry just as country, rock/punk, or any other form of music.They all make you subconsciously or consciously move to the music. They sway you.
The only reason why it's so bad is because of the way it has been displayed. Rap, in the mainstream, has been portrayed as misogynal, corrupt, violent, impetuous, demeaning, and ignorant. Basically it's secular. Rap has been tainted as it entered the mainstream. Gangsta rap is not real. It's only a bunch of igonorant fools who make fun of themselves and their race and they basicall make black people look ignorant. Now not all rap is fake or garbage. The truth of the matter is that there is an equal amount of MC's tryin to reverse the course of rap. It's just that they can't make it onto the radio stations without sounding ghetto or ignorant. Idiots like 50 cent, Snoop, and all the new gangsta rappers who only get onto the mainstream by putting a lil in front of their names are fake. They only talk about guns, bitches, hoes, money,cars, akohol, and drugs. Rappers like Common, Kanye, Lupe, Rhyme Fest, Mos, and Talib try to liberate ignorant minds but people love ignorance. I'm tired of people saying that they must change the industry. Before you change the industry, change yourself. Black people listen to crap music. Then whenever someone outside of the race says something like nigger or hoe we get mad, but rappers today say it all the time. Now I'm not tryin to justify racism, but we have to stop being hypocrites. When sum1 says bitch or hoe we get all mad, have al Sharpton talk about sum bull, then 3 months later we forget the entire situation. It's like a stimulant. Hot for now but cold later. Rap has to be purged in order for it to become true again.
