I would agree.


May I ask though (for my dad's sake) is Color Me Bad considered g-funk?

*laughs out loud*

haha u know, g-funk! like warren g, dove shack, that chill laid back style of the mid 90s. not necessarily the same as gangsta rap. im saying is better than the 50 cent east coast inspired Penis rap, where u just rap about your penis. LOL

I don't think this is an NF-only thread.

This should have been in the NT-only threads.


I think I do understand it, really. It's not that complex.

That wasn't in reference to the thread but to the conversation.

You highlighted all the textlaughter, so I was telling you that's how NFPs communicate with each other.

It was a joke.

I was kidding (again).

It's not complex at all.

Some Australian Hip Hop, Rap I like.

That had an interesting sound. I had never heard Australian rap before.

I'm strictly Old School. The original old school (before the original New School became old by the passage of time).
Back when it was all about partyies, light competition and them message.
To me, it all began to go down when it became all about bragging on one's self, and from there, you saw it go downnhill into violence, and then just glorigying the gangsta culture instead of telling us to avoid it. then, many of the same rappers complained about all the violence that had taken over the industry!

Here's my take on the history of rap:
Rap: Where Did We Go Wrong

*Bookmarked*

i grew up with gangsta rap. now i dislike it, my integrity pushes me away from it, so i make a conscious effort to distance myself from it.
i work with kids in an anti-gang program who listen to a lot of gangsta rap. i try to work them away from it to more positive music. i've found that positive music does promote positive thinking. i believe in music to develop a positive mentality, to open up and connect with parts of you that are there but unnoticed, that are buried deep.

Good for you.

i think gangsta rap is more the product of an environment than a cause. i don't think it really puts ideas in kids' heads, but it does reinforce tendencies that are already there in you. the kids that can actually relate to gangsta rap do find a connection in it, to the experiences they can relate to, a pull that draws them in. but instead of starting with that connection and building positive constructive ideas on it, it just tells you to throw up bigger walls, more anger and distance.
music with a negative message has a caustic effect on people, maybe gradually and subtly, but i do think it can be corruptive.

I suppose this is true to a degree.

How one takes things and relates is completely dependent upon the individual.

Some might listen to said, supposed negative music, relate and feel relieved to know that they're not the only ones going through the same sort of struggle.

On the other hand it could very well cause the adverse effect as you said, "throw up bigger walls, more anger and distance", and whomever may just feel the anger because it's easier than feeling the hurt.

here is something else;
