Right about now we could use Steve’s rainbow WTF?! image.

I’m not sure whether to scoff or laugh

Another reason which we need to remove the genre ‘rap’ from existance.

Heh, another sad attempt to cash in at a dying trend.

I would hardly call rap a “dying trend”…

Why do you say that? It’s a genre of music with all rights, just because you don’t like something does not mean it should be taken away. That was just pure stupidity…

Has the world gone insane?
GOD help us all

On the bright side, at least he didn’t go nuts and gun all the executives down.

I, unfortunately, find something that makes me extremly dissapointed in the world almost everyday. However this one has got to be in the top 10.

Yes, it gets a Doubleyou Tee Eff. And also, of course, a great big:

Holy crap!

The thing is…I dont like the effect rap has on people…I’m not racist…but it’s sad seeing all these white people acting black and taking other peoples’ culture…if you like to call that a culture…on top of that, it inhibits more violence than Metal does. Metal inhibits destruction and edepression, there’s a difference.

I enjoy all forms of music, and that includes Rap. It’s not the music type, it’s the message that each (individual) song carries that matters. Sure, there are LOTS of Rap songs with very ugly messages, but also, many with positive ones. The Bad Stuff always get the publicity. Same thing for Heavy Metal.

That’s really funny, “it inhibits violence” so does the TV… Yeah that basically was a racist comment, white people acting black, they just are using there right of freedom. What’s wrong with it, sure they are annoying as hell, but you have to deal with it. Metal can be very violent too, take Nightstalker, an 80’s killer, he listened to AC/DC, and did crack, what happened? He raped many women and killed alot of people.
Sold there organs on the black market too, also was a cannibal.

I’ve heard worse than rap, beleive me…

There is no relation of music/TV/video games to violence. Serial killers were already sick to begin with. -_-

EDIT: Don’t worry- your comment wasn’t a stupid as Uriel’s.

He jokes that he went “from pocket protector to hard-core rapper,” in a sly reference to the plastic shirt-pocket liners that are the bling-bling of the engineering set.

So stupid it’s funny.

I don’t like rap because I’ve been too influenced by the popular culture version of it a la Eminem and such. There’s nothing wrong with rap, it just is associated with less than shining role models.

Actually, there is. There is a .3 correlation between violent video games, music, TV, etc. and increased aggression. This increase of aggression can lead to violence.

I hope this guy doesn’t even sell one album, hopefully his mom will be so embarrassed that she won’t buy one. If he wants to be in the music business take it seriously and don’t rap just to try and make fun of your ex-boss. I want to know what label was dumb enough to sign this guy, wow someone needs to be fired for even listening to this guy’s demo tape.
