It's called marketing to brain dead youth. If MTV, VH1 & BET along with the radio stations play it over and over and say it's cool then people just flock to it like moths to a flame. I listen to what moves me be it rap, Rock, country, classical and so on. Lil Wayne and all these young guys just hollaring and talking shit with a beat behind it you can't even dance to isn't rap they need to give it a new genre name.

RAP ISN'T DONE THAT WAY.

They promote they're friends and they come up through networking in the gang community and general black/mexican community. THEN once they decide who they like, they tell the white people who to listen to. Granted some of it is just for money and it's not going any where (Diddy/Kanye), but a lot of rappers now a days are striving for a social change. JUST LIKE IN THE PAST.


CAN'T DANCE TO IT?!!?!?!?!??!!????!?????!?!?! Your just REALLL white.

And they don't need to give it a new name. RAPPING literally means to talk about what's been going on. THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE DOING (some are fake). But they are still "rapping", and that is what it should be called. They are just singing about what they all like doing. What's wrong with singin about poppin bottles, fuckin bitches, smokin weed, and doing nothing but being a voice for your people to do all of it? It's evolved tribal shit, promote your people. Intimidate the enemy tribes, and give it a bad ass beat. It's not EXACTLY the same as it's always been. But it's not dead, in ANY way. Tupac and Biggie died, but that didn't kill shit. The movie "Colors" Damaged the community more than that.

Really, I was a hispanic gang leader for a pretty good while and that is not how we chose our music, we just listened to what we liked and identified with what we were doing at the time. Rap has sold out for the most part to the system now with all this BS rented cars in the videos and rented jewelry and shit to make them seem all that just a big show.

YOU were a hispanic gang leader and can't dance to rap?

I didn't mean it's like a monitored set up system. If you weren't friends with an artist, you didn't get to be part of it.

ALOT of it is based on the REAL shit that is happening. Look up the Licoln Park Blood rap. Or Zo-Pound. There's even small documentaries anout there music being real on the hstory channel on gangland.

Alot of it IS SHOW agreed(Kanye/Diddy). But groups like YMCM are doing BIG things. And if you can't see it your stupid.
Drake gets Canadian kids support. Nikki gets the Black Womens Support. Birdmans got the oldschool fan base. Waynes got the YM era. And Wiz anf Tpain are all about that new shit. THINK.

It's not just about money. They know what they're doing. The cartoon FREAKNIK wasn't meant to just be for entertainment. Look up Freaknik and educate yourself. Think about what they thought would happen that spring break based on the history of the word Freaknik, Wayne even set up Dr's appointments and everything to stay out. Then went to jail the day after Freaknik came out.

That may be the terminology. But that is not true at all. ALL of the girls are hoes? ALL of the guys are paying for sex? No. Some of these people speak in hopes of informing. LISTEN TO THE MUSIC. Like for instance, an easily interpretable example of Wayne speaking for and to his people.

Also it's just an awesome song.

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.
