you got ur neighborhood ghetto gangsters and then you got italian mafia gangsters. rappers are in gangs so that makes them gangsters.
the graffti i see in this city looks like it was done by preschoolers.
regardless of what the definition is, hip hop music is crap i hear on the radio and rap is something i buy that got a warning label…
i can’t argue with someone who has no knowledge…
“POP” music is what you hear on the radio…meaning Popular.
all forms of music hiphop, alternative, rock, dance, etc… can become POP.
a gang is a uneducated Fraternity
just cause you in a gang…that make you a gangster…?? i never knew that.
the sugerhill gang…they were gangsters i guess.
fat albert was in a gang…
this is rediculous
how can you say “regardless of what the definition is” - that’s the point of a definition, so people just don’t make shit up when they don’t know what they are talking about. So the only thing that is rap has the f word in it? I’m sorry you feel that way since you are missing out on a ton of real rap.
Plus I’ve seen some decent art here. Yeah, the tags and stuff along the parkways that are done in 30 seconds at 3 am in the morning on a Tuesday is a little weak, but if you know where to look for it there’s some solid stuff. I’m not going to tell you where it is so it doesn’t become popular, but it’s out there.
the fact is i don’t care, thats why i don’t know. i like west coast hardcore gangsta rap from about 88- 98 thats about it.
i can’t believe you guys are gettin all literal and techinical, don’t act like you don’t know what the hell i’m talking about. PUT THE DICTIONARY DOWN for a second and realize the points i’m making.
then don’t argue if you don’t know
finally you admitted it…
since we like definitions around here
gang·ster ( P ) Pronunciation Key (gngstr)
n.
A member of an organized group of criminals; a racketeer.
A member of a gang of delinquents.
i’ll give you the delinquents part…but i don’t consider a blood, crip or whatever…a “organized group of criminals” or a “racketeer”.
That’s fine, but then don’t make up random labels about what stuff is and then ignore what the truth is. You like gangsta rap. That’s fine, but if you don’t care or know does not mean you can just randomly call something you don’t like or know about the wrong term. Ignorance is ignorance, no matter what the reason is.
well we have to use a dictionary cause you don’t uderstand or believe us when we dont…
i do know what your talking about…your labeling music wrong…period
yeah you like old school westcoast rap…thats fine…but thats a part of hiphop.
the stuff you don’t like is POP…
and since your so anti pop…how come you like regulate so much…that was POP as hell…
same with snoops first album & dre’s cronic…all that turned pop.
how could you not call bloods and crips oranganized? you know how many sets there are just in like a 2 mile radius of compton. if you think gangs aren’t organized go to www.streetgangs.com -posted by cutty
there are so many Bone songs that are 100x better than Mr. Bill Collector. E.1999 Eterenal is a badass album.
Maybe it’s just me, but i think we’re gettin’ a bit off topic here…I just got 50’s CD…it’s OK…CD’s usually take a few listens to grow on me, but i can already tell it’s no Get Rich or Die Tryin’…I’ts kinda funny when u look at how far 50 has come (in his career)…I think back to “How to Rob…” When he was talkin’ about all the major industry rappers back when he was still underground>>>>>>fast foward to the future. 50’s still talkin’ sh*t…Now it’s just, everyone is garbage compared to me… Big PimpN mentioned how Games CD was OK…i will agree that his cd wasn’t the a standout hit, but 95% of rap CD’s aren’t…For a guy that’s only been rappin’ for less than 2 years, The Game is a decent rapper… in my opinion. The Game should’ve never been brought into G-Unit. The idea of putting him in with the crew was a marketing scheme…G-Unit was and still is popular, Game’s release was highly antipicated…I guess to the execs, it seemed right…But the core group of G-unit (50, Tony Yayo, and Lloyd Banks) had known each other for awhile b4 they made it big…Not sure how Young Buck came into the picture…Game has is own crew, his own style, and most importantly his own opinons…it seems there’s no room for individual opionions in the G-Unit camp…Anyway, It’ll be interesting to see how this whole situation pans out within the next few weeks…
no doubt^
fuck yes
this shit is so funny… you never hear about the beef between Depeche Mode and The Cure…
I can just imagine Dave Gahan spraying bullets at Robert Smith…
Fact is, 50 Cent is fucking awful, and I don’t even know who the fuck The Game is. A Tribe Called Quest, The Wu-Tang Clan, and even Digital Underground and the Beastie Boys are COMPLETELY unparalleled by ANY current rap act. Can you put 50 Cent in the same LEAGUE as even Doug E Fresh and Slick Rick? Fuck no.
Modern rap and old school rap are 2 different things…Me personally, i can’t get into old school stuff…There are a few stand out songs that i like but i just can’t get into it…There are very few good rap acts out now…Some i like: Ludacris is cool, Nas, Jada, 50, Lloyd banks (when on a mixtape), BG from Cash Money, Jin from Ruff Ryders…I almost feel bad for likin’ 50’s music now, since he’s such an ass…recently…Can’t argue with the fact that the man sells records tho
youd think with all that money, you’d not be an idiot, and try to get yourself killed
man you are funny…I have that in my sig because my grandfather that just passed away is my inspiration and instilled that in me. If you don’t like it so be it but keep your mouth shut. How bout you take another shot at what is in my sig. think about what you say about someone before you say it.
