Yo waddap homies! This is a shout-out to all my bro's and sisters across the nation. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Oh I know.. and I find it funny. However, I cannot help but think what kind of shit my sisters are growing up with... and their lives revolve around it. Isn't there a life better than acting on the learned impressions that being lazy and ignorant are cool? And that all there is to life is Pimp My Ride? Sorry.

Punk is on the rebound... it's more tolerable than hip-hop to me.. but many people confuse it with bad mainstream music and the emo lifestyle. Hippies.. :m:

Mainstream anything has an extremely high suckage percentage. Good hip-hop is hard to find, but it exists. It's the same problem that every other meaningful fad has had. People stop participating because they believe in something and start participating "because it's cool." The counterculture is taken away from philosophers and given to children who don't think, but do feel outcast and need a sense of belonging. Every adolescent is familiar with that feeling. It is a testament to the common business sense of record labels that they exploit it. Good music is art; most top-40 music is more like an ad campaign or a network TV sitcom: made by artists, but polled and focus grouped and engineered to ensure that above all else, it will sell. Disingenuous, shallow music is thusly rewarded with commercial success; thirty year old lyricists who write like inebriated teenagers will sell because inebriated teenagers will at least superficially identify with their words. But those words hardly ever make a point. They hardly ever express something real, or at least with any depth. When's the last time you turned on your #1 hit music station and heard a song about the effects of being a gangster on yourself and your family? What happened to rapping about the sorrow of street crime or the joy of poetry? It's not where you want to find it. In its place is something with only its outward appearance. A movie set. Astro-turf. Plastic. It won't move you, it won't force you to question your beliefs, and certainly no purely musical genius is present to inspire you. It is uninteresting and comfortable. And, being what most kids are accustomed to, content with, and aware of, they'll be happy to oblige to the record labels' commands to pour their money into the newest old concept. After all, if there's anything our half century or so of pop culture -- or centuries of fashion previous -- has taught us, it's that people love to go out and spend their money on the same shit in a different wrapper.
I slap my ho! I'll pop a cap in yo azz. Give me some dope. Yea Baby, Yea Baby. I think I got the talent to be a mainstyle rappa!
"My boo" is also common "turn on the ignition" ... emm...reference to something "just like that..." ...soft female voice
I don't listen to rap.. I am just guessing what words they would say. I think there is a lot of "yea" and "baby" and "nigga" and too many references to crimes with victims as if they are "alright" and "normal."
