how can all you people like rap????
it degardes all forms af language that have been thousands of years in the making by teaching an entire generation of idiots to use words like: yo, wazzup, and; shizzle my nizzle. inplace of proper words. [/I]
Actually, nicely written rap song consists of the very complicated rhymed word patterns, which HAVE sense (unlike to pop songs). Good old pop songs are way too primitive "wordwise/rhymewise/sensewise" if compared with a good rap. Unfortunately, good rap is a thing of the past. As soon as $ came, rap died as an art.
it promotes the idea that you must look good to succed by only allowing good looking people to do it(none of them can sing or write their own songs so that is the only criteria)
Have you seen an ugly pop artists? Do you think Britney would have been a famous singer (or any singer for that matter) without her sexy looks? Even holy christian music "likes" only pretty girls/boys to lift the spirit (and something else, maybe) of the faithful and proclaim Jesus better. Well, I think rap is the least fake among pop "arts".
It's not hiding its primitiveness.
it promotes crime through telling people that they all started out "boostin, rides in da hood" and still came to succeed in this feild which has made so many people rich. also, their videos show noting but naked women dancing around some stupid rapper, saying that if you do this you will get 100s of naked women flocking to you, which draws more idiots into the feild of rap. those videos are almost as uncreative as the songs themselves.
Videos are stupid and disgusting, but they do not promote anything. If people are that dumb to take the most disgusting/vomitinducing videos as their life guide, probably they will follow pretty much anything. It's not rap's fault.
in conclusion:
rap is destroying the minds and culture of the society which our ancestors have strived to acheive
Stupid, fake pop is not destroying anything. Stupid, disgusting, but NOT fake (is the sense of not masking the filth) rap is destroying everything. Very interesting.
