I agree. Some of the mainstream is ok, though. Most of it just fuels the stereotyping though. I listen to rap. I like certain artists who have lyrical prowess. Some artists are really talented at expressing things through their lyrics. One good example is Eminem. If you've heard "Mockingbird", or "When I'm gone", then you'll understand why I say this. (though lately, he's gotten more into satirical and comical songs) For those that generalize and base their opinion off of most of the crap on TV and the radio, then you aren't giving it a fair chance. There are a lot of rap songs out there that are great and have meaning. Not that BS about hoes, bitches, sex, drugs, and violence. (though, even some of those can have meaning)

THANK YOU for making this stamp
the other day i saw this stamp [link] and after reading the artist's comments i just got so annoyed

ugh i kno..ppl are loosing the ability to make lyrics about things thatactually affect or happen in real life, sure there could be a few songs about robotas and stuff but there has to be the good get-you-into-the-music lyrics that also make you think a little

Who says girlz don't listen to crunk, screamo, rap, electronica, death metal, rock, hip-hop, game, punk rock, or unknown

Yes, i don't actually like rap, but some rap is really good, but you have to admit a lot of it is shit.

I prefer old school rap over what a lot of high school teens listen to today. What's happening to music?

I love this stamp so much. I get a lot of flak for listening to rap, because people assume that all rap is like the mainstream BS you hear on the radio today. I listen to older rap like Biggie, Tupac and Nas, Eminem(the only mainstream rap artist I like), and underground stuff like Atmosphere. Rap is a form of music and self-expression, just like any other genre.

THANK YOU.
This is great. I may be in high school, but I'm definitely a fan of old school. I don't get all the dA rap hate, but hey, freedom of speech.

Thanks and fav.

You know you want to look at my gallery !

I'm a metalhead, and I agree with this
People are just too close minded to think that there's rap out there that isn't pop-rap like the mainstream shit. You just gotta dig deeper to find the good stuff or go classic, like 2Pac, Immortal Technique, Nas, etc.
