i wasnt trying to get my point across i was just saying my part fam... i know rap is rap and street is street i know people get killed every day...not trying to prove no point at all just saying it sad that we just cant rap about other shit... its a billion other things to rap about other than how many bullets im going to leave in someone. so why even rap about? just need some more uplifting hip hop. thats all fam. well im done talkin bout this killin shit just makin me upset.
Exactly!!!!!! Besides 50 cent the niggas thats sellin the most records in hiphop dont even rap about that senseless violence.Nelly,Kanye West,Luda,Eminem its hella shit 2 rap about.

not the streets which is what we are talking about.. rappers dont dress niggaz in the streets or tell them how to act its the other way around.. art emulates life.. my point is those you speak on aint the ones to be worried about as far as violence

But pac was versatile wit it tho.Especially at the end of his life.All eyez on me and Makavelli didnt have too much pistol talk.He was on some upliftment shit.My only thang is the shit im sayin right now will be said at Johnny Cash' funeral and it was said at Mac Dre funeral and ppl sit there and mourn then a few days later they back out there doin bullshit.Thats the problem that pac left us with because if u like it or not pac was the closest thing this generation had to a black leader.Now u aint got nobody out there tellin kids to not do dope all u have is niggas like 50 and Jeezy.Niggas that were handpicked by corporate America 2 motivate kids 2 sell crack and kill.I dont give a fuck who dont like it but the whole thizz movement is stupid 2 me.Thizz means exstasy and to promote that shit to these kids is urban treason.

would you niggas still listen to rap if they said lets all be best buddies and shit?

It's not what you say its how you say it. As long as the metaphores, punchlines, wordplay, multi syllables, etc are there.... i'll listen to it. You prefer listening to every rapper brag about how much coke they sold??

That's kind of open, so if an artist is a really good writer or has some really good ghost writers and the content is there but he's WACK AS FUCK you'll listen to it? Because the metaphors are there, and the punchlines and multisyllable rhyme schemes and everything. Man metaphors, punchlines, that shit is all the same to me, when I hear it, it doesn't impress me. I'm impressed by an artist who can write and perform a good ass song, not an artist who can write a witty line, that shit is not intriguing, it's like a comedian trying to be a rapper or vice versa, some people like that shit, I find it annoying. Rappers need to get in where they fit in and stay there.

Me personally if I want to hear that shit, I'll go see a rap battle, or watch some videos online of rappers battling eachother, but to hear that same old stupid diss punchline metaphor shit in a song, is gay as fuck. Wordplay is fine, multisyllable rhymes are fine, aslong as it doesn't sound forced or like some gay shit, rappers are starting to sound like computers or something.

That goes for everything, whether it's some washed up battle rapper trying to make a rap career on records with his washed up sour ass rhymes he regurgitated in the past or some fake ass gangster rapper who raps about how deep in the game he was or still is and how he packs a pistol and is a killer and a drug dealer, 99% of these wack ass rappers would never kill anyone, they fake, so that shit is lame, when you hear them in their tracks talking about this and that but you KNOW they talking out there ass trying to gain some kind of credibility. Shit is LAME and shouldn't be listened to or marketed or any of that shit. I call them trash artists.

So here's my statement.

I like GOOD MUSIC. Period.

Rappers in general rap about too much violence, get more creative with your shit, limiting yourselves, shit's laughable.

People criticize that it's too violent but not all rappers rap about violence. They rap about the ladies, life and basically everything inbetween. Violence is just another way to vent so when it's let out on the mic it's not meant to be taken literally but poetically.

If u feel it you feel... that's all i gotta say
