It's been written that most people who enjoy rap music are

1) More likely to curse more often than other people
2) Usuaully are strong willed and rebel against authority
3) Have weaker morals and poor godly standards
4) Are self-centered and egotistical
5) Are rude, bossy, and get into an argument just for the sake of it
6) Will "die" arguing and fighting for a cause even if it means hurting others because they think they are right.

Pu-lease!  The same things were said about punk and metal.

yeah....but in those cases it's true.....  I'm not falling into this dudes trap... he's a troll and if he can't be bothered (or allowed) to register for an account he's just wasting space...let's go find someone less cowardly to play with!  ;)

Yo yo yo!  8)

.... and he left out that they have no taste!  :P

or they can't sing for peanuts.  :P

I don't listen to rap music, jerkface.  What's that say about me, you pompous ass.

(And for those who didn't get that, I was of course joking)

People who let rap influence their behavior are morons to begin with. Its just entertainment.

It's just music dude. I know plenty of fine people that like hip-hop...don't judge.  ::)

Oh, I get it, you're trying to prove a point!  ;D

I know I shouldn't be feeding the trolls, but this guy's been here before, posting basically the same unfounded crap.

I'm surprised he didn't include "will shoot anyone within a 30 foot radius with their .44 Magnum", or something of the same tenor... ::)

that's why I didn't bite Henk.... I'm tired of all this crap and these people who have nothing better to do than stir the pot just because they are no-life-having-losers....




.... and he left out that they have no taste!  :P



this offends me....you know I generally have a good sense of humor but I love rap and I think it requires a lot of talent to do it. Not all rap is great but not all of any genre is great... I, personally, hate country music but I have never judged another member of these boards because they like it...also I try to go out of my way to not bash it because I know people like it. I respect that we have different tastes and just because it's not my style doesn't make it not music or less quality in my eyes.


I will say I bashed death metal earlier today and I will profess that I don't get it and would rather listen to someone yodel (or Opera - which I also detest) than that death metal lets scream and call it music crap but I don't bash the people who listen to it. >:(

Sincerest apologies Q for any perceived offence given.  :(  I'll admit that I don't get the whole rap genre and am amazed that it is still alive. I don't even count it as music ... though I don't mind some songs that use it sparingly (as an effect). Country music can be in that same category (to me). I'm talking about the 'dyed in the wool' old country songs that the likes of people named Conway Twitty would sing. I don't mind some of the 'cross over' stuff though...

Anyway...while I don't like rap ... I would defend your right to listen to it (and secretly hope you liked normal music as well) ;)  But , after saying all that...  you know I probably won't be able to help myself and WILL open my big mouth sometime again in the future. I'd better save this post somewhere.... :-\\

I listen to old school rap.

The thing I find funny about rap is originally it was a rebellion against top 40 pop and mainstream culture. Look what it is today...

rap music has always had obscene lyrics....not all rap music but a good portion of it.... likewise there is plenty of rap music today that has little or no swearing.

Thanks! :)

I was temted to post "How I Could Just Kill A Man" by the same artists (all in jest, of course), but people might get a wrong impression of me. ;)

That goes for everything Howard. Rap, movies, tv.  The climate of the culture changed and along with it the levels of acceptable cursing. I remember how you couldn't say God damn on tv but I noticed that I've heard it several times this week.

Look at how much they curse on reality tv. They just bleep it out now but a few yrs ago it wouldn't make the air at all.

Movies that would once be considered R are now PG-13 and movies that were considered PG-13 are PG  times change and entertainment changes with it.

Rap is the reason for our degenerate and deprave culture.  >:(

No no, just kidding. Just kidding.  ;D

Hey, some of it is still a rebellion against top 40 pop and mainstream culture.  Look what it is today...

Yeah  In my opinion shows like these Housewives Shows give women a little bit of a bad reputation because of the way they act with the cursing they do. I know they are crazy women out there like these women on these housewives shows but luckily they don't make up a big population of women. I also don't like women acting like fools with punching each other on TV and pointing their fingers at each other and screaming. Thats not a way for women to act.

I agree 100% with you. Some of the fights are too intense.

In just a decade or two the f word has gone from taboo to casually used in regular conversation, basically.

I don't consider the real housewives shows reality tv. I was thinking of Hell's Kitchen. They curse a lot on HK & yet every year they seem to step it up more.

That's because they are scripted to be

It still took Tv awhile to permeate into primetime tv.

I'm not a big cusser, but I don't have a problem with people who do.

I'm sure someone from 1954 would be shocked at a lot of things.  Like female doctors, coed colleges, openly gay people, readily available birth control, the list goes on and on.

Apartheid was the law of the land, as ugly and insidious as anything we see anywhere.

I do not consider bitch or damn as swears because I grew up hearing these words on 'The Golden Girls', and since swearing is not allowed on Prime Time, they cannot be swears lol
