Well why not post some stuff your spitting? As long as its not some vial christian propaganda, I'd be very interested in hearing it. I do have respect for ya, if your making music, it seems you've done a lot more with your life than I have with mine.
Anyway............. I don't even like most mainstream rap. I've just been obsessed with Eminem, ever since he hit the big time. His like the Bob Dylan of modern times. Damn is he inappropriate, but he gets that airtime and is in the top 20 of the best selling artists of all time. What a legend!
But having said that, 2pac is a God and could have started a revolution. If only the Illuminati didn't sub-contract the police to assassinate him. That's the reason why know ones rapping anything of meaning these days, they know what will happen if they don't comply with the status quo.
Come on now, there is still tons of "real" hip hop. The following below often have messages just as critical of the gov as anything Tupac wrote, if not more.
1) Immortal Technique
2) Jedi Mind Tricks
3) Brother Ali

But this isn't new. Pop music has ALWAYS been like this. If the propaganda hasn't destroyed the previous two or three generations exposed to this it, then the newest version of it isn't going to do destroy any newer generations either. It's harmless, except that it easily parts a fool with his money. But so what? Money isn't important to living anyways. If it makes you happy, then spend money on it.

And I am asking very directly, without adding words are you saying:
a. the action of saying "hoes and bitc&^s is limited to gays? Or,
b. gays should not say "hoes and bit*&es", only straight rappers should
It implies you are saying gay people should quit saying "hoes and bit*&es".
What ARE you saying?
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside I'm not one of those who can easily hide I don't have much money but boy if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live

OK Then! Lets hope you come back as a gay person in the next life and you be yourself in the "Ghetto" and see how long you survive intact for "Being yourself".
Talk about Rose Tinted Glasses!

Good point!
I wonder how many people were TURNED GAY because of Glam Rock? NO, WAIT, I know the answer it's ZERO because you cannot be turned gay, you are born that way!

"People should just accept who they are and not put up a front, whatever the situation."
First, no one really should use those derogatory terms to define women but the bad as been done and it could be considered "free speech" after all. But someone who doesn't like golf shouldn't make a song of "why he loves golf".
If someone isn't interesting in pursuing a romantic or sexual relationship with a particual sex, he/she shouldn't imply that he would.
Elton John got it right in his song, "Your song"
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside I'm not one of those who can easily hide I don't have much money but boy if I did I'd buy a big house where we both could live
Boy was used, not girl because that's what he really is and feels.
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand
People shouldn't lie to others or themselves to get accepted.

Not before the end of the 70's.
Destroyed no, but influenced.
I'm sure that MSM believe that they are affecting society more than they really are, but they are influencing us.
I feel that gay acceptance is positive but promiscuity is debatable!

I think you have very strict ideas about how other people should and shouldn't behave. They are who they are.

"Boy" can be used as an exclamation ("Oh, boy, if only I had a good job" - or a lot of money).
originally posted by: Benevolent Heretic
Yeah... no one is lying. It's called artistic license. If a gay guy wants to make his music more appealing to the masses (think Barry Manilow), he can use whatever lyrics he wants. Not every lyric is based on personal experience.

He lifted his hands and exclaimed "Oh my God", must be gay. Burn him!!
I feel like I'm on that conspiracy forum that rhymes with B.yelL.T.
Are you afraid someone is going to turn you gay? Do you really believe that is even possible???

I'll definitely check these dudes out. But I'm guessing nothing they said got them assassinated!
Maybe its the influence they have, rather than the actual words they speak, that gets them in trouble.
