Anyone that says its raps fault needs to open their eyes.
Yes its true that they rap about guns and drugs and stuff like that but because they were poor(I'm not being racist) After slavery was ended (and thank god it was), its not like everything went all nice and America was one nice big family. A lot of people were still racist so it was hard for the black people to get a job cause of the stupid racist people.. Rappers are poets, don't get mad because they rap about their life. The kids just take it too literally. Its their parents fault that they don't teach them right. oh they don't have parents? then they're in the same boat as the rappers are! Haven't you ever heard Eminem's song: Sing for the Moment? he says "see what these kids do, is hear about us totin' pistols
and they wanna get one cause they think this sh*ts cool
not knowing we really just protecting ourselves, we entertainers
of course this sh*ts affecting our sales you ignoramous
but music is just a reflection of self, we just explain it
and then we get our checks in the mail, its fu**ed up aint it?
how we go from practically nothin' to being able to have any fu**in thing that we wanted....." Eminem is white but it still means the same thing.
jeffadelic....don't be dumb. It's not the rappers fault, they were poor and had to do anything they could to make money to support themselves and their family. In Biggie's song "Juicy" he says in the beginning "This albulm is dedicated ...to all the people that lived above the buildings that I was hustlin' from that called the police on me when i was just trying to make enough money to feed my daughter." When you cant get a job you have to do anything. All they knew was the hustle. and let me guess your gonna say "oh its easy to get a job, like at McDonalds.." you dont know sh*t
