Not true. Look at what happened at the Vibe Awards with Buck stabbing the guy that hit Dre, or the time Snoop and his body guard we in court after they shot a man from Snoops rival gang "The Bloods". Look at Suge Knight. The list goes on. Many more that that 1% you claim are real killers and gangstas.

im a rapper its really not as easy as it looks imean sure you can put some computer sounds together and talk about crap but noones gonna listen. and its not just rap, every mainstream musician/artist/band is causing americans to worship capatalism like a song i heard from a fellow underground artist..."if you aint talkin money the almighty dolla dont speak to me and do not try to holla" i can pack a message into a song but its alot easier to spit 160 bars about nothing and those 9 times out of 10 are songs that sell. the best rappers on the scene right now arent even known or publicized. immortal technique isnt just speaking a message his flow his lyrics are better than most rapper. his rhyme scheme isnt as good as tech n9ne but tech doesnt have a message really. and sage francis is incredible. but the government controls us through all of the media rap rock sports news internet what is reported as popular. and of course now that its popular rap is a big target. ((oh and hip hop started in new york back in the 70's courtesy of the sugar hill gang atleast thats when it became big))

The reason rap sucks is because these guys ARE real gangsters and have been given support by higher up's in their labels. Look at how Dr. Dre helped MM. Do you really think he just said wow this guys got talent, I should get him into my record label and help him out! NO... I'm not saying that some don't have talent but come on lets be serious, not everyone can play the guitar, bass, and drums... but anyone can throw together some neat computer sounds and talk about crap. As for why you think they have Illuminati connections idk, I think your just being paranoid there.
