i'm fucking pissed again. i like rap, i even like gangster rap. but it's going way to far.
i'm so fucking tired of rappers talking about murder and drugs and money and fighting with each other.
how tough they are, what they'll do to a person.
and they disrespect all their fans to. like what the fuck?
hip-hop in it's original form, had the ability to inspire, to motivate, and even to teach in some cases.
now all we got is crap singing, shitty lyrics, and the only thing good is the music.
take a step back. "gangster" rap. as in gangs.
what is a gang? now ... you can look at all the well known street gangs, and all the crime they do.
but you can also look at how those gangs ALL started.
they were about empowering people who had no power.
they were about making the powerless, powerfull.
so fucking teach that, but teach in the RIGHT way in your lyrics.
teach things about respect, like to respect those who respect you.
teach about trust. and family. cause it's well known amongst most gangsters that have
been around, that your fucking homies shit on you, rat you out, stab you in the back
but family, the good members, are blood, there for life. there to help you when you
do need it. with money, with rehab if you want to get off drugs, with trust in you.
family is long term, if you want to still have an image and sound tough, than pick
the family member closest to you, and talk about how you'll protect them no matter
what. and teach that. teach protection of family.
rap about the shitty times in gangs. the drug withdrawal, the loss of a friend dying, the
shitty and horrible things you have to see. how you grow cold after a while and weather
you want to admit it or not, going gold hurts - i know. but then rap about how things
like believing in yourself is a way out. education is the key to a better life.
rap about how money, and cars, and drugs are all material objects, and that
what really counts in this life is those closest to you, the ones you can depend on.
and i'm fucking tired of all the drug songs. yes, i know you smoke marijauna.
you told me that in your first 4 drug songs. dont make it seem like drugs are
the only way to have fun. shit, you want to know real fun? beating the system.
starting at the bottom, working your way to the top in legit ways, and outsmarting
the system. then living your life however you want because your at the top.
fishing is fun. can't exactly rap about it, it wont sell. but its just an example.
lots of people like sports. maybe rap about boxing, poets and writers put
themselves in the position of a fictional character sometimes to get out
that creative writing. put yourself in the position of a boxer, or a military
person who is defending his homeland.
quit bitching about america too. of course, america has LOTS of problems.
but if you look at the current world, America is still the best place on earth
to live. again, if you want to sound tough, rap about other countries, rap about
how if you were face to face with some of the leaders of countries that are unjust
(to the extreame) what you would do to them.
rap about how fights should be fought FAIRLY, one on one, and NO weapons.
nobody dies. no fucking gangs involved to get an advantage, just sticking up
for ones own self with there own two fists.
i could go on and on and on but i wont.
gangster rap could be much higher quality, even educational and for the
greater good even, but todays gangster rappers are either A. braindead
b. cowards. c. slaves to a materialistic and fake lifestyle or d. dumb.
but these are just my two pennies. take them or leave them.
power to you if you take them. i'd glady stand in line behind
a gangster rapper who had some sense in his or her rhymes.
