I'm not saying rap is the sole cause of problems with the black community but it sure isn't helping. The bad neighborhoods in Indianapolis, where I live, are mostly black and mostly have cars pounding with black music. That's not my opinon. That's a fact that anyone with 2 brain cells and a hint of common sense can verify. Quinky dink? Don't think so.
When you drive to the nicer neighborhoods with money you don't see people bumping to 2pac in their luxury automobiles.
I think rap and thug culture needs to be kicked to the curb by black america. I've heard a few black leaders say the same things I just said and I hope their voices get heard.
I have no comment because it's clear that you'll try to make a connection no matter what. If anything, it's the suburban kids who use the music to rebel against their parents. That was the cool thing to do in the 'burbs when NWA made their debut.
You probably think Marilyn Manson was the reason for the Columbine shooting.
Most of the black people in my neighborhood listen to rap. Not an opinion, not a generalization. That's an eyewitness account and a few brain cells talking.
Why doesn't the PGA advertise on BET? Why do black hair product companies advertise on BET? Because most people who listen to rap are black. It ain't rocket science and it isn't racism. Geeze louize our society is politically correct. Use some common sense people.

Most of the adult black people in my neighborhood go to work, take care of their homes, have good kids (most doing well in school), and do not blast rap music from their cars. The people in my neighborhood who do blast rap music from their cars (some luxury cars, too) are teenage black, white and Latino males and females.

Nobody said the majority of fans aren't black. Where did you pull that statement from? Again, I will recommend this video to you.
You're stereotyping. Not all hip-hop/rap music sounds like that. It is my favorite music genre because of how versatile the artists can be. At the same time, we have many bad artists just like any other genre. Sad part is about 80% of the most popular ones are horrible. It's like rock. The good rock had some recognition, then it became more about marketing than talent. Image and whatnot. You can't look at the bands on MTV these days and say that even three fourths of them could compete with bands from earlier decades. Same for hip-hop music.
By the way, if someone wants to degrade women, they are protected under the First Amendment. If they really think of women as all the names they call them, that is their right. I listen for talent, not content. Do you think all of rock bands' fans are drug users who break guitars? That is another stereotype of a genre and its fans.
Could you mention some of the versatile rappers? I'm interested in hearing them.
I don't understand your post Haaziq. Most pga fans are white. Do you disagree?
No, most PGA fans are white. You pointed out that the majority of hip-hop fans are black as if somebody said they weren't. Nobody did.
