[QUOTE="JoeGKushner, post: 1949621, member: 1129"] While talking about the series, the Shield, Morrus mentioned that he didn't care for the rap/gansta elements in it. I'm not too fond of it either. For me, I'm a 33 year old caucasian whose lived in Chicago most of his life. To me, the lifestyle that is often touted seems just the opposite way of living a good life. 1. Treat women like sex objects. Not saying other forms of music don't do this so it's not a big issue but some of the lyrics here go way beyond the call of anything I've heard. 2. Thugs Life: Keeping it real... Okay, that I don't get. I'm ignorant and proud of it? Say what? 3. Fakers: This is probably the biggest issue for me. These teens driving the 50K cars living in the suburbs with their momma paying for everything have nothing in common with the gangsta lifestyel. What's the deal? Are they so bereft of parental involvement that they have to go into some imaginary lifestyle? 4. Violence as an answer: I guess this gets into the whole thug life but it doesn't take much to do great violence when you have a weapon and twelve dudes backing you up. 5. Music Talent: Sorry, rapping requires some rhyming talent, but most of these rappers sing worse than either Simpson daughter. Take away rap and make them sing and it's over. 6. Personal Taste: Just don't like it. I like some R&B, love Jazz (Miles Davis has to be one of the best performers ever), but with rap... Don't get me wrong, maybe I don't know what other songs like "21 questions" fall under, but I can deal with that. What about others? For it? Against it? [/QUOTE]
