I have no clue how music makes one feel stupid; as long as you are secure with yourself you shouldnt have any problems man. I mean, ya, alot of rappers are complete idiots, but who cares. I dont listen to music to feel smart, i listen to it for fun and enjoyment, and occasionally songs come along that are thought-provoking and emotionally stimulating.
Luke, if you dont like rap thats fine man, time to move on. Alot of people find as they get older that current music (not just rap) is not suited to their tastes, it happens to most peopleAs for the profanity and negativity, it is kind of embarassing how rap is so immature. Its nice to have some Kanye, Talib, and possibly new Mase as alternatives. You say Kanye and Talib have negative messages, but aside from profanity, i dont see alot of negative messages......and i rarely hear Kanye or Talib talking about violence and drugs on there albums.......peaceWhatever you do, dont take music so seriously, dont let it define you. When i first started teaching a couple of years ago, i felt like i should probably quit listening to rap, or keep my windows rolled up, etc, and not admit to students or fellow teachers that its my favourite type of music. Then i realized, if people want to judge me by what i listen to, fuck them. And i dont take people like SNoop or anyone seriously (NEVER HAVE), i never really am that affected by what a rapper says because really, what do they know that i dont?

i've realized this...i really just don't like rap anymore...i barely ever listen to it and when i do i feel dumber after im done...i still like some of the stuff i grew up with and some of the so called "backpack rap" but in general i just hate rap...i hate rap fans as well...not you guys but i mean i just hate the way people argue over the stupidest stuff pertaining to hip hop.
ain't no one comparing no one to beethoven,
I was about to post the same point as rod. If you a skinny white kid from the burbs that rocks Abercrombie and has nothing in common with the hip hop lifestyle. That you will MOST likely turn toa diferent genre.
Abercombie's Hip Hop too now. Oh you didn't know?
