dollfacegirl Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Word Grapanelli! There are several hip hop artists out there that aren't just rhyming about Bentleys and booty. The media just doesn't cover them as much because it isn't as glamorous to hear about intelligent rappers. Good hip hop is poetry set to a phat beat. Check out Talib Kweli or Mos Def.

Wow, You took the words right out of my mouth. Mos Def is one of the most positive artists, never hear him speaking sbout violence or slappin some chick, or shooting someone in the face. What do you guys think of Eminem's lyrics though, Do you think they are all for shock value, Do you think people really take his lyrics seriously and do you think Stan is a positive song?

roadrunner Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 violence occurs in any culture that is primarily made up of teenage boys. look at metal, punk, "moshing", dancehall reggae, mods, rockers, ANY OF IT! there was always violence. hip hop is not one culture. it is many. it is cypress hill AND freestyle fellowship, its too short AND latyrx, mos def AND jay-z. hip hop's dichotomy reflects that in all of us. if anyone wants listen to one perfect, soolful hip hop album, get aceyalone's "book of human language" memorize every lyric and get back to me.by the way, this is way big and pac were the artists they were. they expressed universal pleasure and pain. i think eminem's got the same stuff. unfortunately he'll probably die too soon, too.------------------*i'm in love with the modern world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't see any sport in it. Argue it lacks the sight and thrill of body contact. Yet, the conflict is there, more raw and challenging than any man versus man competition. For in running it is man against himself, the cruelest of opponents.The other runners are not the real enemies. His adversary lies within him, in his ability, with brain and heart to master himself and his emotions.- Glenn CunninghamAIM: Spragga25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminem said a million times that his lyrics are made to piss people off. One thing's certain, his lyrics ARE tight! For people to be pissed of at "Stan" is simply dumb. He talks about fans being "TO" into an artist and that they should concentrate on the other things in their life and not get so caught up in someone who is just a musician. Watch it sometime and read his lyrics - more than meets the eye - my 2 cents!------------------What Makes a Man Run?People can't understand why a man runs. They don't see any sport in it.
