    What good has he done? I mean, sure it sucks that someone dies, but being a "Hardcore bad-arse thug from the streets living in the Projects now I'm rich don't mean to rub it in" it real cool right? Fueling this BS gang crap. You know what it's like when most of your school thinks it's "Cool" to be gangsta and you think they'll cut you if you look at them wrong? Sucks. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
    I completely agree with you Liku. I mean jeez, in my school about 95% of the school thinks that they're gangsta', its really sad.

    Guess I'm one of the luckier ones. The "gangsta" kind is a minority here, but we've got plenty of goths and punk r0x0rz! Oh, did I mention asians? Lots and lots of asians? Gangsta asians ^.^

    You know what it is to be ironic, to base your opinions on someone simply because of what your narrow minded prejudices (gathered from such lovely sources as mtv) towards a certain genre of music define them to be, and stereotype them as being no different than the garbage portrayed ON mtv?
    The only opinion which, as far as I'm concerned matters, is an informed opinion. You have no such thing. But at the same time you'd swear by your knowledge of what he was about.

    Well guess what. You're a honkey metal head, and all your music sucks. I haven't invested enough time to get to know it myself other than what I see on mtv as I casually flip through the channels, but so be it, now we're on even playing fields.

    Rap is more a poetry reading with repetitive backround ambience than music.

    I base my opinions on the fact that I hear... "My homie's from G.F.S.!" "Come to my hood and I'll shank you." "Don't mess with my crew, [Insert BS here]." Or the fact that I see new grafitti on the school walls, at least once a week, because of piece of crap like them... Calling out "their" territory with vandalism. When the hell is the campus theres? Does anyone care to see you destroy the school property because they think it's theres? Oh, and people are always taking about getting Alcohol and Drugs because, "They got the hook up."

    Here's the kicker, when one of these Gangster POS get killed, they get that person's friends to walk around campus all day going in rooms and asking for money because "Funerals are expesive." Sure they are, but why should I give money to someone's family because that person makes my life worse? Not my problem that your son has nothing better to do but break the law. Tough luck. They also walk around with a picture of the person and their niece just to make him look innocent for people for fork over some cash, and say... "He was at the wrong place at the wrong time." Oh, and this has happened 4+ times in my three years in High School.

    I'm in L.A., I have this Gang crap around me all the time.

    You want to take your issues with one group of extremists, and blame it on the type of music they listen to. The fact is, the people who would sit back and say "rap sucks", who would point their fingers at the wanabe g's and call them idiots, are in for a surprise. Those idiots and yourselves are one in the same type of jackass, you just take your enjoyment of a genre of music to one extreme or another. Rather than bow out gracefully, and say that this music is not for me, but realize that all music so long as it comes from the artists soul and has the power to move people is good music, you'd rather scapegoat and take all the idiots of one side or the other and classify them as a direct product of the music. You should really get to know those "gangsters" at your school liku, you'll find that as far as mentality goes, you probably have a lot in common with them as far as your passion for genre stereotyping goes. The difference is they'll probably have the balls to stand up and state their opinions.

    I dunno,

    althought pac was the biggest west coaster, Biggie was the largest east coster, both are rappers who are sick with it for sure, but the sheer amount of songs that tupac has released after his death make it seem hard to believe

    True, tupac was incredibly prolific in his time, the sheer volume of content was what really gets me, seems like there's a song for every mood.

    Extreme? How did I ever take the music I enjoy to an extreme?

    I know more of these people than you'll probably ever know. I have nothing in common with them but playing games, and listening to certain rap songs. They can't even stand up for any of their opinions because they don't have any reasons and I just get the... "Shut up foo'." And I prove them wrong all the time.

    Really?

    Reminds me of the Family Guy episode where the cop on the wheelchair moves in and Peter gets the police scanner.

    Scanner: Report of a gang shooting. Three wounded, one dead.
    Brian: Is it just me or is rap music getting lazier?

    Some rap/hiphop is alright with me though, but i'm a huge fan of Metal/Rock but mostly Rave genre.

    I live in Florida. Today I went to see a Buc's game (they lost). You know what the irony of it all was? I was riding with my friend and his friend, both born and raised in the South, driving a Bronco that looked like he had just taken it off roading, as southern as you can get. And what are they listening to at unruly volumes? <b>50 CENT</b>

    Rap sucks, Tupac is dead and decaying, thats my opinion and my sticking with it.



    EDIT: Not all rap sucks. Just most of it. I can deal with Run DMC.
