Am I A Hypocrite For Listening To Rap With Violent Lyrics

Listening to violent rap music is no different than playing shoot em up video games or watching action movies.

 

Public enemy is my favorite band along with KRS one Eric B and Rakim, and ghetto boys

 

More disingenuous bull**** from the OP as a means of getting attention from a bunch of strangers.

YAY!

 

Rap . .. Music in general . . .it is all entertainment
If you can watch Pinhead rip someone apart or
Steven King describe how someone is pulled apart
Rap Lyrics ain't gonna kill ya

Rocket River

 

I don't have a problem with violent lyrics but I do have a problem with misogynistic lyrics. I don't problems with my kids play fighting or playing war/cops and robbers. I would have a problem with my kids pretending to treat women like ****.

 

hip hop is so garbage now, im actually listening to taylor swift and friggin pink on my way home from work. hell im listening to more pop stations than ever before. Hiphop is dead

im sorry but mumble rap ****ing sucks.. its like hearing nails on a chalkboard and insults my intelligence as a black man

have you noticed that jewish record producers have white rappers like machine gun kelly, NF, and post malone release more lyrical rap than black rappers. They would never release a white mumble rapper

lupe fiasco, big sean, tyga and hopsin have been killed off by these new age garbage ass rappers..

this the type of rap music tupac warning that the elite were trying to push back then saying back in the 90's.. "if they kill me, you aint gon like what kind of artist they push on yall after me"

 

This is real hip hop

Does no one like Kendrick Lamar in this thread? You'd think people who quote Tupac would especially be a fan. I mean the closing dialogue to this song has samples from a television interview cut like it's a conversation between Kendrick and Tupac about the current state of affairs in America. He's yet to churn out a bad album in my opinion and most of his albums have a concept album process to them in that if you listen the whole way through, there's a broader message to them than just the individual singles. I think he delivers a socially conscious message better than J Cole as well though I'm a J Cole fan too.



And then Keisha's song references Tupac's Brenda's Got A Baby even.



Gibbs isn't often trying to be like a socially conscious rapper, which is by no means a knock against him nor should it be expected from any artist, but can't deny he's incredibly talented. Bandana and Pinata are almost flawless albums.

 

Or these songs from Kendrick that reference the devil a lot. I grew up Catholic and went to private Catholic school until college and even though I'm not especially religious anymore these songs still resound with me.

Like this is a song entirely about the devil tempting you. The song sounds like something playful from an Andre 3000 catalog yet the lyrics are pretty haunting. It's like listening to CCR's Bad Moon Rising or Nick Drake's Pink Moon, which too sound like happy songs until you listen to the lyrics.

Continuation of the narrative from the For Sale? song.

Following track from Blood.

Basically a song that references end times in a very visual storytelling way. I don't even believe in a Biblical end times. I think the world will end a billion years from now when the Sun becomes a red giant and evaporates all water on the surface of the planet killing whatever life may still exist along with it. Even so, the song is still incredibly chilling to listen to.

 

The 99ers listened to rap when it was actually good

 

Do I hate gays or not know where the hood at?

 

"Local rapper who had ‘just been released’ from Cook County Jail suffered as many as 64 bullet wounds in fatal shooting across the street from jail, police say":

I’m guessing it’s fatal if you get shot 64 times

 

I mean, you're listening to the radio...in 2021...elsewhere, there's an endless supply of stuff exactly up your alley.

 

I have more faith in the youth like this dude
