Originally posted by Uriel 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.
My comment to your first statements have already been said:
Originally posted by The Revolutionary Yeah that basically was a racist comment, white people acting black, they just are using there right of
Wearing pants to the knees, having “ice” around your neck and speaking slurred english is not “being black”. Black is a CULTURE a very beautiful one that has nothing to do about bitches and hoes and the like. Any colour and society is free to rap and rhyme about that, just we see black people doing it more because a few label themselves as victems or a minority and fail to do anything about it. Although some rappers tend to do that (TRUST ME) there are others out there that obviously do not follow this code of conduct people cash in on the negative stereo type.
And no, there are no restrictions as to what kind of vibe a certain music can give off, sorry. It’s not a clique thing.

Exactly. ato say that these things don’t influence is an otherwise dumb statement because there are plenty of statistics out there to prove otherwise. Sure the individual has to be off his/her rocker somewhat, but it’s still a choice to believe what you are watching/listening to.

Uh-huh. This is why people are horribly violent in Japan, where many our violent video games are made.
99% of all statistics are complete and utter bullshit.
So maybe the Japanese are a more advanced and evolved society than us Doesn’t mean America or the rest of the world is like that as well.
Plus you’re excluding tv shows and music, and I’m pretty sure none of us here watch Japanese television and listen to J Rock everyday on a regular basis (and for those that happen to listen, don’t always know the lyrics)
: Mr. Singing Smilie sings ‘We swindl’d u ass, we took u monay. We didn’t get caught. We’re still at large. We swindl’d u ass, we’ll swindle u ass. Again. And again.’
He can’t sing, which fits the rap ensemble perfectly.

And Japanese television is more violent than American television. Just look at their fracking gameshows.
