I got no problem with music when it's informative and thoughtful.  But most of this entertainment is exploitative.  I'm not saying that artists like Beyonce, Ludacris and whoever else aren't talented and don't make good music; they do.  But it is exploitative.  What effect does it have on the listener?

You are running around thinking that this music and culture has no affect on you.  But it is a clear message in some of this songs.  Let's take popular radio music.  That Fabulous song featuring Tamia.  The message is clear.  This girls love is real because she isn't impressed by fake ballers and loves real ballers with real diamonds and alot of zero's in their bank account.  And that's real love?  That's authentic?

Let's take Alicia Keys.  Ya'll think she is real?  What's so real about her music.  Falling in and out of love.  Telling an x-boyfriend he ain't shit anymore.  What's so real about that?  What's sustaining about that?  What is fullfilling about that?

Ya'll think Kelis is real?  Why?  Cause she has a little style and she's dating Nas so she's real?  What's real about Kelis.  She is selling sex.  They are manipulating every man's natural inclination towards sex.  They are taking this sincere, honest desire for sex and manipulating you and exploiting you for all your worth.

The only lawful relations between a man and a woman are through marriage.  The media doesn't want to advocate that becaues it isn't profitable.  It is not profitable.  Spending time with your wife and family is not profitable.  Going out to bars and clubs and dancing, buying, promoting their music and heeding to the call of the Shatan is.

I'm out.  Peace.

Unlike your twisted ass world view, the vast majority of people in the world fall in love. It's a nearly universal thing. Sorry you're missing out on it.

CalebOhio: I think i can speak for many others when i say my favorite rap artists are white but i still want black artists to be dope. they are chosing not to be. that wouldn't be a likely believe held in a white supremacist group. I want Nas to deliver evertime but he doesn't every time Sage does. so Sage gets my $15 regardless or his status. fuck your status perception and labels you use.

Why do we need you to tell us that.  Of course sex sells, it works both ways.

Some great points made.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

Agreed, some good points made.  However, not everyone is going to agree with your views, there is room in this world for more than one point of view.  I like to have a good time and here a song in the club that is bumpin once in awhile, and sometimes i like to see girl exploit herself by looking mad sexy!  

If you are trying to convert people or make people change, you are going about it the wrong way homie.  NOthing against you, but i for one have enough intelligence and self-esteem to not emulate hiphop culture just because i like a certain song or certain artists.  

Ibrahim Islam, youve changed in your time on the board and for you this is a positive change, but for others they just want to be carefree and enjoy life without taking it to seriously.  peace man
