Anyone listenin to rap?

[Steve French]

You're sure dressing it up a lot. "Speaking for and to the people"? Rap isn't about some message or social change. Lil Wayne didn't release that record to start a revolution or to "bring together the black community", he simply wanted more money, status, and bitches.

the only thing i got against lil wayne is that hes not true cuz he has been rappin since he was a lil kid and he switch sides more tha Benedict Arnold he is the most 2 timing person in the world i got nothing against his music tho i must admit most of his new shit is crap but the point is nobody is really being trill their is no originality its all run by companies companies looking to get paid but rap or hip hop whatever u call it started in basements at underground parties to pass the time or let people know was sup and eventually hit the streets people started battling competing to see whose better and eventually one of those cats from the streets got into a studio recorded some shit this is when some started rapping to get paid and well finally that shit that person recorded it made it to the radio which was heard from the hood to the suburbs and now everybody is rapping to get paid and pampered and their u have the birth of mainstream rap or pop rap

And how in any way is can any girl/woman caught up in the "Independent Woman" idea, be considered a ho? Sayin she don't even need a man? Opposite of a ho/gold digger.

notice how i said of some form which mean it doesn't have to be directly for money but something money related which by today standards is everything

That song was definitley written in hopes of social change. I know that album didn't come out in hopes of starting something, but they are working towards something and it's not just money. And no one that looks at what they say or what they are doing can say that's all it is. Because it's obviously bigger than that.

You don't sing a song about the pain of your community not hoping people will hear and and be like "He's right". LISTEN TO THE WHOLE SONG. And THINK.

Not everyone is just trying to get paid. Like look as Wiz Khalifa, he is nothing without Taylor Gang. And he shows his respects to them and HOOKS THEM UP.

 

[Finshaggy]

They are doing it directly for money though. Just not in any form of hoish manner. They are not hoing in any way. An independant woman is about herself and her money. THAT'S IT.

but i bet he is trying to get pampered but what i mean is rap was never ment to be be marketed or sold like how they do now all the shit that is happing now with rap was predicted years ago when the sugarhill gang got started but when eazy-e came out it got back to the streets but when pac and big came out it started to get in the hands of companies and now its strictly run by companies

Music itself was never meant to be an industry. But just because it happened doesn't mean rap is dead. All music is being treated like product.

But sometimes the big company is P Diddy, or Birdman, Or Lil Wayne. So, there's not really a big company behind it in that situation.

ha u think they run the company the money runs the company so whoever is i guess u can say i sponsoring them is running that shit u dont think rappers or a record company get paid to metion a companies product in their work

Birdman sponsored Wayne. Wayne sponsors Young Money. The money has been in their hands for a generation almost.

 

[VER D]

and who sponsored birdman and the point is what rap is today was not the intentions of those who started it rap was for people that didnt have shit to express themselves with out money now its just a way to tell people what kind of shoes you were and what u smoke and how high u are or what your favorite color is the type of hat u got on and just bullshit u like or to talk shit

Ok, but change of a genre does not equate to death of a genre.


And the movie colors is what started everyone picking colors. Not rap. So that is movie medias fault, not music.

 

[Bwpz]

Rap's doing great imo. I don't listen to the radio, I don't consider most of that rap. Listen to Curren$y, Big Sean, J. Cole, Cyhi Da Prynce, and many more who actually still put out good music.

 

[VER D]

first of by colors i mean any color balck yellow green purple pink i wasnt referring to gangs and i if ur talking bout underground rap bwpz i agree the underground scene is doing great and yes it is cuz rap isnt about changing its about stayin true not selling out thats why it was never even ment for it to be made money off of

EVERY KIND OF MUSIC HAS SOLD OUT.

That's true. But to Specifically target rap and call it dead? Just because music as a whole has sold out. That's not right. And rap has sold out LESS than any other genre. They bring each other up, not a record company. They are the record companies, not some wizard behind the curtains calling the shots,

So loosen your vice grip off raps nuts. Rap is fine, and growing and working towards great things in some areas.

 

[wiimb]

rap died in the mid nineties with Biggie and Tupac..... everybody knows that!!

Bollocks then dre found slim!!
