It doesn't matter how much money cRappers make in the short run. Chances are they will get hurt, killed, imprisoned, or lose their fortune to drugs, disease or other immoral activities. They'll be washing your windshields in no time.

Hey, I got an update! There's a cRapper in that video with a black sock on his head who looks like the Fe-duh-ral Security Screener the last time I flew into DC. There is hope for them. If they don't make it in the music biz, they can work for the TSA!

From an objective stand point, there’s nothing wrong with rap music itself. What’s wrong is a majority of the stuff they put out these days is pure garbage. It’s that most of the shit ignorant stupid ass rappers rap about and the videos they make that are fucking despicable.

Turn on BET or MTV and watch a rap video. Nine times out of ten, it’ll be a bunch of guys in jerseys next to or in expensive cars, surrounded by bootylicious women shaking their asses, with the main rapper holding up a wad of cash. If they’re not in or next to a car they’re at a party or something. I guaranfuckingtee it. This is the kind of shit they push on kids these days.

You think it's "artistic" to show white people being victimized by blacks???
This is not artistic...it's trashy racism and one would expect more from a company like Sony.
This video and these barbarians: bad timing, bad taste and certainly not anything anyone should see.
YOU and your artistic directors and others like you are directly responsible for the degredation of today's youth and for the sad sorry state of affairs that race relations has become. I ask you...if a video mainstreamed to whites showed abuse of blacks, do you think there'd be no outcry??
Sony will NOT be a name I waste money on in the future.

The problem with Rap is that a large majority of it glamourizes everything that is inherently unacceptable in a civilized society. The glorification of felonious activities are being spoon-fed into suburban white youth in an attempt to wither the racial divide between blacks and whites.

Lets see.

Murder
Drug pushing
Robbery
Sex Crimes
Womanizing
Prostitution
Battery
Gun crime

These are but a few of the glorified behaviors which Rap music is content to portray.

From the other side of the fence, it's the ghetto lifestyle which Rap artists argue is being acurately portrayed.

It sounds more like bragging. Not something to be proud of.

I don't allow my kids to listen to it and they don't want to.

I don't care to argue about what does or doesn't sound good to your ears.  The sound of country annoys some people and the sound of rap annoys others.

But I can undoubtably say that "country is better than rap" because rap groups and rap songs like the linked video are commonplace and not reviled.  Name me one country artist that glorifies criminal behavior on the scale that modern rap music does.

Everyone should go read Thomas Sowell's (a black man) new book "Black Rednecks and White Liberals."

Talking about it and glamourizing it on television are two completely different things.
MTV treats these thugs like royalty, all the while promoting and glamourizing this crap to impressionable youngsters. Maybe i'm old fashioned.

So now I am pidgeon-holed?
Bullshit.
I listen to many forms of music:
Classical (Handel is a favorite) Rhythm and Blues (Stevie Ray!) , Dance music (Will Smith and Beyonce are great for when I feel the need to shake my tush), Rock, Alternative, Southern Fried Rock (Kansas) , classics (Lois Armstrong, if you're looking for more color in there)  The list is endless...
I have not pidgeonholed myself. I simply don't think Rap is music.
And I don't need an "education" of something that denegrates women and glorifies crimes to know I don't like it.

That one bad "artist" is one example of nearly every rap "artist". Almost without exception, they're a bunch of thugs, racists, and criminals extolling the virtues of being thugs, racists, and criminals to millions across the nation.

In fact, the ONLY rap song I can listen to without feeling the urge to shoot something is "Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer. And then only because it pisses people off when I play it during a HALO match and kick everyone's butts.
