I hate to say this but...hip-hop/rap is negative music
teecee:
This is actually a very interesting thread, props to all for expressing their views.
I gotta say this: i was first attracted to hiphop BECAUSE of the negativity! I always knew it was negative, i never took it as gospel.
And for the person who says what we see on the news is just as bad, major props, because the way they package those stories is bullshit. Its all shock value, all fear, its always been that way but if it comes from respectable journalists then it must be accurate.'
And to the guy saying rappers dont rap about real things, listen to some Last Emperor, Masta Ace (Disposable Arts), Nas (at times), and even Kanye (you may not like him, but know one else raps about working at the Gap and being the "token blackie" when black people walked in.....
Lastly, look for the positive in hiphop, because there is more than you think. In any aspect of life, you can dwell on the negative of you want, but there is usually positive involved as well. Take Nas, he has made some completely ignorant songs, but listen to the lyrics of Rule or I Can, that is some real shit right there.
Just a question? What is a positive music genre?

yup rap is negative, its funny why ppl are surprised that the police have special taskforces investigating rappers when they kill some1 in every song and rap about million dollar drug deals etc.

Now neija huga, rap from the ghetto DOES NOT have to be negative, nothing HAS to be negative,almost everything can be flipped and turned into something positive, but that is not the case, i dont mind rappers explaining their environment, but once a rapper is rich and living in the suburbs i really doubt their environment is still so negative, rappers just have that negative mentality.
Rap, CAN be positive music, it has been proven, but it is not, so aslong as you accept all the heat rap is getting with no problem, then ok, but dont think that rappers are victimised, because they bring it upon themselves.

You know Pitbull you have called out my name but have not read my post. When did I say "rap from the ghetto have to be negative". Don't put your words in my Post. When did I say anything HAS to be Negative. I stated why sometings are negative. Like I stated earlier take your advice and read everone's words. I am not God so I can not tell people what has to be and does not have to be. READ MY POST Again! then read yours they don't match. You are just arguing nothing. I'm not justitfing I am explaning one reason for negativity, not all of them. Also I did state some of it will be postive. You would know that if you read my post. btw Jay-Z said it best ", how would you explain? I'm ten years removed, still the vibe is in my veins I got a hustler spirit, nigga period Check out my hat yo, peep the way I wear it Check out my swag' yo, I walk like a ballplayer No matter where you go, you are what you are player And you can try to change but that's just as hot player Man, you was who you was 'fore you got here Only God can judge me, so I'm gone Either love me, or leave me alone" - Album: The Black Album Song: Public Service Announcement (Interlude) 8)
