You guys need to stop ganging up on Xabad. He's right that most of hip-hop is nothing but grown men rapping about b*****, cars, drugs and guns. I grew up on rap, but i'm not gonna deny that much of it is utter garbage.

Except xabad didn't say that... he was talking about "black music" as a homogenous category and refused to accept the black origins of the music he does enjoy, and his critique was framed in deeply racist language (tropes of black primitivity, hypersexuality, etc). I don't agree with your point either, perhaps much of mainstream rap (which is consumed by young white men for the most part, in terms of sales), but certainly not hip hop as a whole. But if xabad had made your point at least we could have a productive discussion, instead he comes across as a self-loathing black person.

Xabad. You are not racist, you simply have prejudice against African-American arts and culture. There's difference.

 

Somali. We will be changing Safferz's thread into troll corner if we start discussing Che.

What is the appropriate platform as I would like to know.

Back to the original topic, I'm currently watching Wu Tang KILL IT at Coachella, they're performing Triumph right now.

 

I bomb atomically, Socrates philosophies and hypotheses...

^^ I have some issues with that song, but it's definitely critical commentary and a good example of the diverse content in hip hop.

Dear saffz, i warned you about listening to this Audio porn but you insist on it. it even says clearly NOT SAFE FOR WORK. how do you reconcile being an upright muslim lady one hand and on the other listening to such haraam music. thanks

 

Ps: clarification i don't hate black music, i hate african american music, i occasionally chill to reggae music.

I know this wasn't your intention but I find this comment hysterically funny, xabad. Is it the letter format? The passive aggressive "thanks"? The way you capitalized Audio in "audio porn"? lmao so many levels

Why not? That song in particular was a hit about 10 years ago, so a lot of Southern rap (crunk, chopped and screwed, trill, etc) takes me right back to my teenage years.

Doesn't the sexually explicit nature of this song in particular bother u in any way?

[Safferz]

No.
