Only destroys those who aren't 'hip hop' aka wanna-be's as it sets them aside from the enviornment and they must adapt to the climate. Changes who they are.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."

Re: Rap music is destroying our youth!
As much as I dilike rap "music", I refuse to repeat the errors of my parents' generation.
I was 18 in the summer of love (1967). The previous generation hated and condemned "our music", forgetting completely that their parents had felt the same way about jazz, bebop and swing.
4400 years ago, Plato complained the "the younger generation is going to the dogs" and I'm sure that he was not the first.

Re: Rap music is destroying our youth!
i totally disagree...

hip hop is a lifestyle and no matter how many people disagree with it there will always be a demand for it!

i consider myself culturally disapproved and thats due to the fact that i love music. this doesnt make any sense.... shit!

Re: Rap music is destroying our youth!
It looks painful being into hip hop and rather lazy.

First of all, nearly every 'homey' has a limp. Is that a part of the initiation? Someone kicks you in the leg or gives you a permanent injury?

Then theres the dress code. Jeans too big so you trip over them when you walk. You also blow away if the wind get's too strong.


A bit like Goth or dark music, someone pokes your eyes out or takes away your sense of living so you have no emotions.

Strange how sheep tendencies work isnt it.

Re: Rap music is destroying our youth!
Don't get me wrong, I like rap, some rap, not all. A lot of it these days is manufactured shit.

"Uh yeah, uh uh yeah" Is not talent.

I was into rap in the early NWA, Ice T days with Gangstar and the like.
Diversity, originality, real.

I don't want to listen to some over paid tosser pimping his shit, "cos I owns a Bentley and I'm rich"

I give a fu..


The industry is diluted and polluted.

Re: Rap music is destroying our youth!
Harmonic complexity does stand for something in music. Hip hop has none, disco has some, rock a little more, blues; un poquito mas, jazz; that's what it's about.


There is such a thing as musical appreciation, if you just want sampled bass lines, hip hop is fine, if you want more, then grow beyond minimalism.


I could go on for hours, but I honestly don't feel like it. So, to sum up, your musical taste is directly related to your sophistication as a person. If you want simplicity, it's available, likewhise for complexity.

Re: Rap music is destroying our youth!
ok check this out right...

does it matter what music a person listens to?
or is it the fact that people dont appreciate music thats not of their preference...

i listen to all sorts of music...
r&b, hip hop, alternative, metal, jazz, even classical... (i love Vivaldi)

but the thing is when u listen to music it supposed to calm the soul and let out any inhabitions, u understand?

im rambling agen ...sorry

You're wrong, not all music is intended to calm the soul, i.e. hardcore, death metal, black metal, any kind of dance music.

Try again.

Re: Rap music is destroying our youth!
The problem with rap & hip hop is that they Magnify & Enlarge the "problems"; they sing about negativity (prostitution, bitches, drogs and so on)using dirty language and spreading hopelessness and retardation although they do it with a certain style and fashion (having heavy gold chains and being rich)...
By the way, I really love Ali G with his hiphop style and krazi humor; can't stop laughing when watching his excellent show

Yeah, Sacha Baron Cohen is a relatively good satirist.

Re: Rap music is destroying our youth!
OP, the only rap music I listen to is Emnimen (sp)(sounds like m & m,)so I really can't address other rappers.

However, if you listen to the lyrics, you will realize that he raps about things that have happened to him in his own personal life. Many young people identify with those lyrics.

So, my question is, when are we are a people going to change the world so that these things are not personal experiences?

Don't blame the rapper...blame the society that has allowed this world to become as it is.

You don't get it, do you? He's not advocating all that, he's laughing at the people who ARE like that. In other words he's taking the piss!

Re: Rap music is destroying our youth!
Rap music is unique in the way that's it's not really music.

Here's one way I described the difference between today and yesterday.

My Niece was listening to some rapper Qtip or someone, anyway, I said to her, that really is crap, trust me on that, I play a lot of instruments.

She said it's just like always, you older generation don't like the kids music.

I told her that when my mom and dad would listen to my garage bands playing Ted, and Jimi, Zeppelin, stuff like that, they didn't much care for it, but they knew it was music.

She wasn't convinced. I told her also that when we were young we were into the bands as much as their music. People who were into floyd knew gilmore played guitar, Zep heads knew who Jimmy Page was, etc. I asked her who Qtips lead guitar player was and she said, I don't even know if he has a guitar player, I said there you go.

She still wasn't convinced, but I was.

It's crap, it ain't music, it's just easy to package pablum, with synth bass and no longevity. They won't be listening to Qtip 30 years after his album release. 100 years from now, The Who and Zeppelin and Floyd will still be selling.

MuchoSucko is right, yo yo yo, snap.
