ORIGINAL: NeedToUseYou As an example the whole gangsta rap thing, I just don't get at all, and the group that plays into that the most is black people, to a lesser degree whites I think you're just trying to get my attention by acting less than well informed. Poor black youth have discovered a way to get rich by giving you what you want, sex and violence, mixed with a little taboo of the lustful black woman already in your head. Did you read my post above http://poplicks.com/2005/06/who-buys-hip-hop.html quote:
"fact" that "70% of hip-hop consumers are white." 2) It's "proof" that if hip-hop has gone to hell in a handbasket, it's not because the Black youth community has decided to embrace sex, drugs, violence and general nihilism, it's because that's what voyeuristic white kids want and since white kids are the main consumer demographic, record labels push their albums to fill that consumer desire. this argument has been used to explain why conscious rap is dead, dead, dead and why pimps, players and hustlers have become the new norm quote:
NeedtoUseYou It has nothing to do with anything other than the dress in the "scene" the general attitude, and language displayed is not attractive to me. Listening to it is one thing but applying it to everything in your life is another. So, the color doesn't matter, but it's how the person acts that is important. Acting in the Hip-Hop/ Rap ghetto style will simply repulse me right from the beginning. And, hot, is hot, is hot, no matter what color the woman is, but acting a way I find unattractive is killer for me, no matter how attractive. Hmmmmm, waiting for the flames. arggghhhhhh. No flames, I think you just wanted a spanking from afar, but you're not manipulating me that way. I agree and you should know (if you don't) that hip hop as a representation of black love/life is ridiculous and a lie. The other side of the coin is that in a country where Godliness is measured in amount of dollars/glitter, it's no wonder some desperately poor folks are selling their mothers/sisters/souls to make it. M hmmm, I did say in my post listening to it is one thing, but making it a lifestyle is what I don't like. IMy observation is that alot of whites do buy the music but it pretty much stops there as in language patterns, and dress in general, however at least around here almost all the younger black crowd emulate it in there day to day lives. And make no doubt I don't want a spanking from anyone. LOL, just the thought, well, anyway, I think that's the first post that really made laugh.
