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." 45 Goals |

Deacon Blue User ID: 58596 United States 01/23/2006 04:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

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. |
The realist User ID: 3635 United Kingdom 01/23/2006 06:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

tohellwith yourturtle User ID: 65786 United States 01/23/2006 07:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. "It's easy to be certain, one only has to be sufficiently vague." |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 2492 Sweden 01/23/2006 08:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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 |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 58373 United States 01/23/2006 08:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

SHR User ID: 64124 United States 01/23/2006 09:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |
