JumpinJack AJ Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 Killing people and Hip-Hop/Rap music have nothing 2 do with each other. Murders kills people. Rappers rap. When it comes 2 street life, u can only rap about the same topic so many times. It's ignorant 2 ignore certain emotions, ideas, etc just becuz u wanna keep everything street. Life is life and music should be about life, not just one side of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigted Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 The problem in mainstream hip-hop comes from the fact that most rappers like Jay-Z and 50 Cent make gangs, drugs, and crime look glamourous, but most of the underground and ol' school mcs rap about these things in a conscious way to let you know that it ain't cool to do these things, you have to move on in life and make a living in a more positive way, that's what 2Pac did, and that's what rappers like JJFP, LL Cool J, Nas, Talib Kweli, Rakim, and KRS-ONE do, and they do it in their own individual ways, you can see them mature when they do another album, while rappers like Jay-Z rap like they're still teenagers they don't grow up and mature as artists, people criticize Nas for not trying to sound like "Illmatic" all the time but you have to move on and talk about other things like he did on "God's Son" when he talked about the pain of losing his mother and rapping about his life now not 10 years ago, you have to be yourself and mature if you wanna seperate yourself from the pack.
