[quote:Anonymous Coward 966435:MV8xMDYwMjU4XzE2ODQ5NzkzX0U0NkMzNjY3] [quote:"...Sing, I'll sway.] Rap music is just a bunch of actors telling lies about their upbringing over a bassline. It is targeted at the white middle class, and most tend to outgrow it as soon as the hit their 20's and realize it is all fake. It's kind of sad (not to mention perplexing) that you'd allow yourself to believe that. In my city alone there is a [i]flourishing[/i] rap scene. Clubs everywhere. Shows everywhere. Artists selling cds out of the trunks of their cars and on the street. There's [i]always[/i] kids at Broad Street and Chestnut, across from City Hall, hawking their mixtapes. These are the young artists building their careers in underground clubs, making mixtapes, putting their performances/songs on the internet. All "mainstream" hip-hop artists who are considered "stars" started out small-time somewhere. [b]You can trace their careers back to the clubs and to the streets (I can't imagine you've studied the careers of too many hip-hop artists while forming your theory about them being "actors").[/b] Anyway, why should you take my word for it? Feel free to come to Philadelphia any time you want. I'll send you an email listing half-a-dozen of the best places to see underground, grassroots hip-hop shows and you can test your theory in person. [/quote] I'm talking about the 'mainstream' as they are the ones with the most influence. My second year special subject was a module entitled 'The sound of history' where we studied the history of black America through music and speeches. Rap and Hip-hop was born and died very quickly thanks to the likes of Jerry Heller and Dr. Dre who saw the potential of the medium to be mass marketed.

Original Message
The American culture was injected with Rap music and this hip-hop style clothing trend in order to make the middle and upper classes hate the lower class (and vice versa) and have no pity for them and to make the poor enjoy being poor because they think it makes them cool and "gangsta". If poor people dressed like the rest of the people in America and they didn't subscribe to the rap music culture then more people would feel sorry for them and want to help them. As long as the poor are going to go around dressed in clothes that only they can wear and feel cool and sell crack as a fashion statement, the middle and upper class wont care about them. The U.S. government wants to keep the poor poor, quiet, and hated and to sell their CIA run drugs for them. That's my guess. Granted, there are a bunch of middle to upper class white kids who try to imitate the ghetto culture (which makes them feel like wannabes and gives them an inferiority complex), but they usually grow out of that.
