Originally posted by TRUTH View PostI guess it depends on how you look at a rapper. if you look at a rapper as role model, which i dont'. then he should be responsible for his actions, and what he says. but i just look at these guys as entertainers. but i know right from wrong. I feel bad for the kid from the hood that lives in a single parent household, and heres these bad messsages and doesnt know right from wrong...and looks up to gangsta rappers, and takes what they say literally.

Originally posted by BG_Knocc_Out View PostI'm all about betterment and positivity in music, although every now and then the aggressive side is needed. I'm all against negativity and things that will poison our youth. Like when gangster rappers glorify guns, drugs, killing, all that ****, I'm against it, although there are certain types of songs where its passable. I'm not looking at these people as "role models", but alot of kids are. It's pretty obvious our society bases their lives around what they see through tv, music, and the media period, and none of them are giving a positive messege. I honestly don't feel bad for the kid who lives in the hood when he makes stupid decisions to spend his money on materialistic things instead of putting it toward something important and that would benefit him in the future, yet when these kids get older they try blaming it on "the white" man that they ****ed themselves over. Honestly, I'll tell you this, I'm disgusted at this ghetto fabulous bull, lol.

Originally posted by TRUTH View Postyou can't be mr. moral and say you like cuban linx, reasonable doubt and illmatic. if your going to go against all negativity, then you have to go against all negativity. i live my life by my actions, if you knew me in real life, you would know i'm not a bad guy at all. i just grew up listening to gangsta rap, and enjoy the music. similar to someone might grow up watching mob movies and like mafia movies.

Originally posted by BG_Knocc_Out View PostLike I said, there are exceptions. There's a time and place for everything, there is a difference between a Raekwon and Ross. A Raekwon would build his career through skill and creativity where as Ross would build a career off of a persona. I'm against the negative persona, not all negative songs. You can't tell me "Criminology" doesn't get you hyped up, that's a lyrical hype song, the substance inside of it bears no real meaning. You listen to a Wu song, you hear style, flow, creativity, skills in a Wu song that would hold more weight than what they talk about. A mean c'mon, "Wu-Tang is for the kids", as that Ol' Dirty would say, haha. A Ross is only there to prove how gangster he is and shows that its such a great life to life. A Raekwon glorifys skill, a Ross glorifys negativity. See what I mean?
and by the way, I'm happy your for positivity. truthfully, i am too. I just can't help myself when it comes to jay-z, wu-tang etc. like you said, that kind of rap is fun to listen because of their talent...

Originally posted by TRUTH View Postso your saying that gangsta rappers who have talent are ok, because its more about the artform and their skills than there persona? If thats what your saying, I'd have to agree.

Originally posted by BG_Knocc_Out View PostExactly, as long as their showcasing their talent, it's all good. I have respect for Jay, Wu, and all the other cats holding it down. I just hate when people like Lil Wayne glorify drugs and ****, trust me, I'm a teenager and I see how even music is effecting them, and its sad.

I was the same way, I stayed away from the drugs too, and tried to have a positive influence on the people around me. Sometimes I feel like a contradiction because I listen to music that doesn't fit the person I am, but i find way to relate somehow....and I just love the music. I really do.....I might not alway agree with what Method Man is saying, but I love Tical the album
