People who hate Hip Hop Music

[Socnorb11]

When I have to listen to someone elses music blaring as they drive by is not forcing it on me?

People do this with music of all types though. Just this weekend I heard a teenage girl rocking out to the Spice Girls. I'll probably hear someone with rock turned up way too loud later this week.

Do you realize how much this complaining sounds like old folks in the 1950's, complaining about those darn kids and their rock and roll music? And Elvis' vulgar movements on TV?

Right, but there's no other music genre that's as inappropriate for the general public to be exposed to as rap is.

I'm very confused by this. You've claimed ignorance about rap about a million times in this thread. But then you state matter-of-factly that it's more inappropriate for the public than any other music genre. Which is it? Either you're ignorant about the genre, or you know enough about it to condemn it as being inappropriate for the public? You can't have it both ways.

I've heard some of the lyrics. That's all I really need to know, isn't it? While I don't claim to have much knowledge about rap music, I've seen the lyrics.

I don't know much about electricity either, but I won't be sticking my tongue in a light socket.

there you go generalizing again.. and what did we learn about generalizing? how does
that make you sound?

I've said a gazillion times that I'm certain that all rap music is not bad. You're only reading what you want to.

Everyone settle down. This thread is about to get locked.

That's true. I'm sure there are some vulgarities in metal. I don't listen to that stuff, either.

Exactly. There's vulgarities in many musical genres. Any of which can--and are--played at high volumes out of cars.

I don't think anyone cares that you don't like rap. I think they care that you stereotype an entire genre of music by several bad apples.

How is that an appropriate anaology. I don't follow. I've seen and heard enough about Pujols and Miles to know that one is good and one is bad.

In the analogy, you're basing the conclusion on 3 games- nowhere near enough information.

I've listened to enough country music to know there's NOTHING as in inappropriate as some of the lyrics that I've seen from rap.

Nothing? Really? David Allan Coe?

Link me to the most inappropriate David Allan Coe lyrics that you can find. I'll link you to some rap lyrics. I doubt if there's much comparison.

You're right in the baseball analogy. There wouldn't be enough information. However, that's not a good analogy. I know enough about country music to know that there's nothing as bad as a few of the rap lyrics that I've seen. I've got plenty of information to conclude that.

Can't get it to open. I'll try my home computer.

Do you honestly think it's as inappropriate as some of the raping, cop-killing, prostitution and "penis" songs that rappers do?

A more á propos analogy would be going to three Cardinals games, watching Aaron Miles have three great games, watching Albert Pujols have three poor ones, and stating matter of factly that Miles is the superior player.

Maybe if Pujols pulled out his 9 and popped a cap in the pitcher after he struck him out, smoked some weed at first and them danced with a bunch of half naked "ho's" all with a mad look on his face it would be more accurate.

Wait until you see it.

Hey omaha, not to hijack the thread, but in your opinion is the generalizing going on in this thread the same as me saying I don't like to watch foreign films because my ADD won't allow me to keep up with subtitles?

But I'm not stereotyping. I've said many times that I'm sure that some of it is fine. But the bad stuff is some of the most sickeningly inappropriate stuff I've ever heard.
