On the reals... why is it that at a young age we're so keen on grammer and that our social skills are so much better than what they are now? :confused:

I really don't want to put rap at the forefront but when you see kids imitating shit like retards I can't help but to point the finger.

What happened to songs that you knew were hard? I mean back then I knew the type of shit my parents didn't want me to listen to, but wack ass songs just leave parents like, "THAT'S OK, IT'S CATCHY, I LIKE IT" Instead we got stupid songs like YUNG JOC - COFFEE SHOP putting a hidden message behind it.

I don't mean to drop bombs but ebonics is not a language. I made a thread last week asking if people put up a front in public and while being around certain individuals. Most said they have different versions of them but isn't that in itself putting on a role? :confused:

If you can't be yourself 24/7 what's the point of even trying to convince the next person that you're not this and that?

I wanna touch so much on this topic

At times I feel feud up and frustrated with the way music is and how it's led us and affected the lives of others.

I would like to see things in the game more positive and talent bursting out of every corner. Like Bill and Ted when their music SUPPOSEDLY units the world :cheeky: (cheesy I know).

But everyone in reality is greedy and when you have so many artists setting the bar for what is this and that you feel trapped. This pretty much goes for every genre of music, and it's easy to overlook the artists trying to do something different.

the quality of entertainment across the board has gone down. i feel sorry for a lil kid growin up now. the cartoons are garbage, the toys are garbage, video games ain't the same. movies aren't as good.
kids are now growin up in single homes, mom or dad ain;t there all the time, so they let the tv and internet, and their friends, raise them.

alot has to do with television and school i believe too. more drugs are becoming available to teens, blah blah blah, and the image tv tries to make for teenage males is a badass blah blah blah. so you got over 1000 kids in one building trying to act like badass's. and their parents cant get through to them, cause they trust the person who gets them high the most. its a fucked up world

its spell checkers fault. you used to have to learn how to spell words right with a type writer or hand written. now with spell check you only have to give a good attempt and you can get the word you want spelled right for you.

and slang has always been around so its not that that is messing up the children its just technology

Yeah I remember back in the day.. it was all about playing basketball.. or playing foot ball.. or doing shit outside....

Also I gotta say Elementary was the last time I really was really active out side..

In high school, we had PE.. but that was it.

During lunch.. everyone would just chill and talk... and smoke some weed etc.

But i notice kids these days.. don't go run or play outside.. it's just pizza and playstation and the internet all day... and no activity...

but that's where individuality come's from..No-one person is gunna act like anyone else,,plus people may listen to the same shit but each person can be getting a different meaning or thinking different shit as they are listening to it..Being positive with life does'nt come from music alone,,music may influence to a certain degree but that person is gunna do what they wanna do,,positive or not..artists may manipulate diff. songs but damm sum of them sound better then what they were and i think that also is a form of creativity so im not gunna nock it..i think most's stems from the influence of friends and family..what happened when they were growing up? what types of people did they roll with? music is a part of a facet to some of these people to have a sense of freedom and just to be creative,,,n some are'nt thinking how others coming up are listening to their songs n thinking of shit diff because maybe they wrote what they wanted..if everyone in life was universal to only one type of music -it would be a boring place...
