If we can have Rap ARTISTS and Graffiti ARTISTS maybe we can have Fart ARTISTS.

A 6lb. weight should be clamped to his tongue, and he should be forced to recite nursury rhymes in order to be fed.

Parents let kids listen to this crap?

Adults listen to this crap?

Wait a minute - are you talking about rapping or preaching?

Then he isn't a Rap artist, he is a wannabe or a wig.

I don't like heavy metal but it didn't murdered rock. I disagree with your point about rap. Rap requires lyrical skills that a lot of people can't do. If you don't like it don't listen to it. Just a thought.

I don’t listen to it but I have heard it and I see no musical value in it at all. Music is way more than just lyrics.

All rappers are glorifying the thug culture.

It's like the Marilyn Manson crap but to a rap beat.

-I guess.

Music used to be a means to romance, now some of it leads some to violence.

When I was growing up 90 years ago, the analog cassette player in the Vega only played music that would hopefully lead to romance.

What date would be turned on by violent lyrics?

I wouldn't listen to it anyway. I quit new music when the sex pistols would spit on the audience and the 'audience' loved it.

That was before _rap music was regurgitated.
(You did know that _Rap music contained a silent 'C' didn't you?

Well I guess if I could find a Vega and an in-dash cassette deck I could probably find a date that wouldn’t mind my slapping her around whilst listening to some dumb colored guy talk about killing her whilst I was slapmancing her.

How so?

Proved to who?

What were the rules?

[yernogood-]

Why wasn’t I supplied with a list of rules. I guess that’s the way you type of people like to “WIN” whatever contest you invent on a daily basis to make yourselves feel better about your shortcomings. All the luck to you on that.

As a Northern California Horrorcore Rapper myself I'd like to implore you not to judge the genre at whole by the actions of one imbecile. I (like a lot of other rappers) use my lyrics to vent my anger at the world around me without actually having to do violent things.

For those of you that think all rappers are thugs (or glorify thug behavior) you're missing the whole point. Rap didn't create the situations we write lyrics about, the situations inspired us to write our lyrics. Everyone has a story to tell, sometimes the story isn't so pleasant. If you're going to relegate the lyrics of our genre as a whole to the burn pile based upon the violent content I'd like to make a few suggestions of other works that fit into the category: The works of Edgar Allan Poe, half of Shakespeare's plays, Gone With the Wind, the Bible (both old and new testaments), and The Star Spangled banner (rockets red glare, bombs bursting in air..etc)

I'm not trying to sound un-American, quite the contrary, we live in a country where I CAN speak my mind and I'd like to ask you to please remember your parents' reaction to Elvis's first performance on the Ed Sullivan Show.

Elvis? Bad example, he sucked and we wanted to kill him.
