Not referring to him, but the people who rap about catching a body even though they went to a private school and mom and dad are lawyers.

Even if you don't like rap, you should watch this video of Hopsin. Highlights:

Are you one? For always busting your tool, with nothing to lose, or something to prove, to homies up in your crew.
Is it because you selling drugs to get loot
And brag about how done been shot and stabbed, like it's fun to be you?

Like Dr. Dre and the Wu-Tang? Found that both really irk the useless homogenized bieber wannabes trying to take over our area. If it takes nonstop gansta rap and proudly waving the Stars and Bars of Freedom to get rid of them - I'm down for that.

I like old school rap from EPMD and Eric B and Rakim,still the best flow MC ever, to political rap even if when Chuck D tries to sound intelligent in an interview it's clear he has very little actual education. The first wave of gangster rap is great. NWA was just a boy band in different packaging but I will certainly be able to spit out Fuck the Police until the day I die. Rap started to suck in the 90s when it became nothing but about weed. As that became nothing but drinking cough syrup and slurring auto tuned words I couldn't listen to it anymore. Today's rap is virtually entirely garbage,entirely unlistenable with very few exceptions.

Too bad Brother Ali, Immortal Technique, and Jedi Mind Tricks are anti-whitey, anti-Christian, and anti-western civilization. They are good rappers though. Lupe seems to be pulled to that side occasionally but tends to snap out of it. He seems like a genuinely good guy. Atmosphere is good. All leftists though.

I refuse to support filth that is degenerate and contradicts every moral I try to stand for.  

How can grown men with a family ride around listening to that shit??

Sure in the 90s when I was a stupid teenager I listened to some rap music but I stopped being a boy and became a man.

One of my favorites of all time. Immortal Technique may be a conspiracy douche but he makes some sick music.

Also see by him "You Never Know", a song about a thug who gives up his criminal life because he loves a girl who then breaks up with him inexplicably. He goes back to banging, gets put in prison and goes to see her when he gets out only to find out from her mother and a beyond the grave letter she died from AIDS (blood transfusion). She broke up with him to spare him the pain of seeing her slowly die.

Jedi Mind Tricks has some great music as well. "Uncommon Valor: A Vietnam Story" is ridiculously good. Storytelling rap is a far cry from the "fuck bitches in da club" garbage that passes for rap these days.

JMT is the best hip hop there is IMO. Swollen Members is good too.

There's plenty of good music out there. Lots of good rap. I find it comical how butthurt people get about what others like or dislike. Who gives a fuck what other people like or do?

I should play some of the electronic music I listen to for some of our more conservative members

But it is music, and it is music that has far surpassed any other genre in popularity.
