It's easy for you to sit behind your CPU in a suburb and judge their actions when you haven't came from the same place as them,
Do you know the difference between reality and fantasy? As an artist their supposed to make their tales seem as real as possible, It's not their fault if idiots run with it,
Music's main purpose isn't to be used as a teaching tool,
The fact that you think their music is crappy is irrelevant cause that's your opinion,
And I like how you left out the fact that they rap about:

Religion

War

Love

Family

and the consequences that could result from the actions that they speak on.

If you want to sit there and pick out irrelevances why don't you pick out your assumption of where i'm from? That has nothing to do with it.

And no, i don't need be where they're from to understand why they rap the way they do. Point is, they still use that as a tool to promote themselves, and their negative image.

Does 50 cent promote himself as a religious political debater who has good family morals, and loves women?

Or does dipset?

What kind of image do they portray?

What kind of image do they sell?

You Said You'd Guzzle Canibus's Cum..........So Anything Else You Say Is Irrelevant......

Who cares about image. Would you rather have rappers like Camron and Jay Z who speak a little negativity in their raps, but are opening businesses on the low. Or a cat like John Forte, who was positive in his raps, but is doing 14 years for 30 pounds of liquid cocaine.

I dont blame cats like 50 and Dipset for being negative. Theyre just giving folks what they want. If mothafukkas want positivity, theyre going to have to buy it.

YO, YOU THINKIN LIFE'S A JOKE?! I'LL SLICE YOUR THROAT!

[Barney]

haha why is only cam'ron n 50 cent being singled out, when 95% of rappers talk about the same sh*t

n if u listened to most of cam'rons songs he doesnt even rhyme about violence that much anymore

lol @ some of the people on this thread...

halfpastamazin,

between me and you, i no longer debate this kinda thing. reason being is that people will find any reason under the sun to vouch for their actions...no matter how wrong said actions are. they're quick to pass the buck, point at the white man and say "but look at him...look at what he does !!!". i'm not concerned about the white man...i'm concerned about the state of my people. but i'm not concerned anymore...

read up on the fall of rome, all the materialism, hedonism....history is repeating itself as we speak. seriously yo...**** them...make sure you and yours is straight...

If portraying a life of crime isn't gangsta then what the hell is?

This thread confuses me.

what's gangsta is taking people from their land and killing, raping and enslaving them. Gangsta is letting planes fly into the towers because you're too busy racially profiling licensed drivers. Gangsta is killing your own people with chemical weapons. Gangsta is starting a war for oil. gangsta is lying about weapons of mass destruction. Now should white people be ashamed of that? then why blacks got to identify with every bad thing a black person does. typical white thinking.

one damn you can't spell. And it's funny how you can't defeat my sound logic so you resort to name calling. All I have to say is I ain't on Dipset or G-units band wagon. My favorite mcs are Talib, Jay-z and Common. So I guess you can get off of that shyt and realize that you've been sonned.

Its the environment that forces these otherwise good people to engage in criminal activity. Atleast I like to think that is partly true. The fact that we live in a world that is very unfair does not help the cause of the poor man. Damn, I aint even poor at all and I still want more be it a pair of shoes, a nice car or a Louis Vuitton wallet. Its the capitalism/consumerism that makes everyone want more. The problem is that if our society stopped buying into the crap that the governments have spent the last 80 years creating, the world economy would collapse. word.

to me, most of the hip hop listeners ARE CONFUSED. CONFUSED! what's sadder is that you got a lot of black people acting blind like they can't see that most of the black rappers are DISSING THEM. DISSING THE **** OUT OF THEM. very few realize this and acknowledge the FACT but the rest NOPE they look like idiots shrugging like what they're saying is NOT wrong.
