I find this thread quite funny. Who the hell takes rap music seriously? (ok i know there is at least one guy on this forum who feels like rap music is his religion. It's his parents fault probably. don't blame him).Well.. rap music is a big lie even though people around the world claim it to be the realest music genre on planet earth. No. Rap music like any other "pop" music is nothing but entertainment. It's not an art. It's a f*cking entertainment. And all these rappers do whatever they can do to entertain their listeners. Most of the time they lie. Just because these lies are entertaining. Speaking of gangsta west coast rap...real gangsters don't spend their time in the record booth.real gangsters don't speak about their crimes to milinos of listeners around the world. Only entertainers, so called studio gangsters rhyme about their imaginary crimes in public. Same thing goes with their sexuality, sexual conquests and relationships with women. Of course, there are some exceptions but i guess it would be like 1% of the whole rap scene around the world.Even in my younger days i knew the west coast rap is just a form of entertainment and it's nothing that should be followed by anybody. When you realize this you will also realize that west coast rap never failed at it. I know that this form expression is quite brutal, homopohobic, chauvinistic and most of the time real dumb. But sometimes i like to spend time listening to it just like i like to watch gangster movies sometimes or dumb comedies. On the other hand i listen to jazz music very often, i watch psychological dramas very often. Just a different form of entertainment. And it really depends on the mood when it comes to 'what should i watch/listen to today'.Speaking of Quik... my wife loves his music. She never found his music offensive probably because she knows that this is nothing but easy-listening music with dumb lyrics. She always was like "i would like this music more if the lyrics wasn't that dumb but i like it anyways. These guys are funny". So in my opinion gangsta rap music was never a problem. The problem are people who take it seriously. I tell you what... there is no single rapper on planet earth that i would call idol of mine. If you can name one your idol then you should really ask yourself what went wrong in your life.Peace!
