So it's apparent alot people are either jealous or don't no the true meaning of Hip Hop?

I hear alot of people criticizing Hip Hop saying there nothing but street thugs that talk about money,cars and women and the don't speak knowledge to young black kids,but all of that is a lie Hip Hop has helped alot of black people from the ghetto become wealthy,Every man wants to be rich and have money,cars and women that's life also anyone of these big name Hip Hop stars could make an album speaking knowledge to young kids but we all know speaking knowledge won't make you go platinum in a week,money cars and sex sells,i don't care what anyone says about 50 and Kanye i respect both of them because they both are two black men on top of the industry right now and to all of you stupid rock fans all the majority of rockers talk about is money, cars and sex also alot of rockers talk about killing christians and some of them are Satan worshipers so rock is not all that,Rock is way more violent than Hip Hop.So it's apparent alot people are either jealous or don't no the true meaning of Hip Hop?
I dont understand why people who don't like hip hop come into this section. Matter fact i'm gonna go bash rock for the sake of bashing rock, right now.





And to be honest with you i dont agree with everything you said.





'Hip Hop stars could make an album speaking knowledge to young kids but we all know speaking knowledge won't make you go platinum in a week'





That's not true, people who spread knowledge are true to themselves and to what they know, they never defy that. Its a damn shame that so many rappers today made it big by simply making music about bling and cars and women and drugs and whatnot. As far as i know, it once was that someone who came out like that was a poser and had no chance of survival whatsoever in the game. People like 50 cent came out, and you could feel their hunger in their music, so 50 is a sellout because he deferred from that hunger when it was quenched. He's not a knowledge monger and he doesnt have the power to be one because he's sold out. Like i said people with knowledge aim to spread it, because they KNOW what money can do to you. I mean you really believe 'lil boogie' or whatever the hell it is can make an album spreading knowledge?





Sorry but most of what you said was ignorant. Im off to the rock forum hahaSo it's apparent alot people are either jealous or don't no the true meaning of Hip Hop?
We lost another one to that brain washing bs.
Larry Hoover I respect, he did something that empowered a segment of the black community. 50 cent is a snitch and a b---h.





Kanye don't bother me.





Oh and free our Ghetto Political Prisoners.
People are not understanding that Hip Hop and Ghetto are two different things. I listen to both rock and hip hop. Well, I don't worship the devil and I have never tried drugs. I make my own choices. No music has ever influenced me to do anything that I did not want to do. So everyone should stop blaming it on music. It is the same thing over and over again and it makes me sick. Is this America where we have the right to listen to we want or is the hell where everyone wants to put the blame on someone else instead of recognizing the problem is within.
yeah your right about Kanye. He is on top right now. His new Cd graduation is Pretty Sick. But that comment about 50 being on top is insane. Yeah i guess if you want to be rich and famous by selling out and turning a complete 360 from your first CD. I will take you to the Candy Shop. 21 Questions. Come on now. And if all you aspire for in life is to be rich, and have cars, and HO's. Then you might as well enjoy it when your alive. Because you cant take it with you once you die. Plus. i dont know if you can have enough money to buy your way out of HELL. Another thing. 50 cent isnt Hip hop. hes Pop/Rap. Kanye, common, Talib Kwali, those are real hip hop artists . For someone that claims to know a lot about rap/hip hop. your pretty clueless. DANG. Rock is about killing christians now-adays huh? That is crazy. why did you type that. actually if someone was to be screaming to where you couldnt understand them. Compared to someone flowing. and you could understand them. Both talking about the same thing . which one are you going to take in and understand better. and one more thing after i have already demolished your very life. it actually takes talent to play an instument. which all rock bands have. so think about that one for a second.

Hey man, you really didn't do a good job of getting your view across... Just keep quiet on this one. I listen to both genres - but yeah, you did a bad job with this one.
Hip hop has helped all the wrong people out of the ghetto, and led a lot of young impressionable people into a life style that is destructive.





Besides the ';music'; is just plain boring.
rap is crap, and that pretty much does sum it up money, cars and women oww yea and how to stay ';FLY';!!! will any of these songs be as popular down the road as led zeppelin, the who, metallica, queen, ac/dc, or how about the Beatles? I dint think so and rock now adays the stuff that plays on the radio dose not qualify as rock anything in the 2000 to present days doesn't count its all Emo crap. so go and brush yo shoulders off my Lil hommie ???
