[MysteriousDarkness]

Yes, I know. What I want to show through this myTake is that rappers can write something meaningful other than this garbage.

[lord_chilled]

didn't know how bad it was generationwise until i listened to some old rakim songs.

I haven't been too much into rap.

But i used to think that tupac, biggie and later eminem were kinda geniuses anyway and other than tma few talents like those, todays rappers are no different.

But old school rappers really told stories.
Todays rappers make bragporn.

I find that men and women who listen to the dirty music will have the same outlook towards their men or women.

First of all the RAP industry has never been "clean" and it never will be. Second of all many rappers makes what sells, and what sells right now is mostly garbage. in my opinion it is the youth that is to be blamed.

[Anonymous]

Because dirty sells. You can talk about there being too much sex, jailbait, violence, sexism etc in hip hop but as long as it sells it don't matter. The amount of feminists I know that bitch about a patriarchal soceity that degrades women and judges thrir worth by their attractiveness yet whenever yet when Robin thicke or Pitbull or nelly comes on they rush to the dance floor.

[Prof_Don]

Hip hop has almost always had R-rated language in the music. Mainly because the origins of the music was in urban neighborhoods where there was a lot of negativity... and hip hop music was a way to describe living in those conditions in music form.

[Jaye234]

Rap has been "dirty" since the genre developed.

Remember three 6 mafia, bone thugs n harmony, dr. dre, master p- the list goes on

[Curmudgeon]

Don't forget the 2 Live Crew!

[Jaye234]

@Curmudgeon yep I totally forgot about them!

[ovoxo_]

Bro you started of with Eminem so I knew you'd start recalling old ass outdated music and so I didn't need to read any further,

Hip hop is fine the way it is. Don't like it? Listen to something else (I'm literally listening to 69's newest song right now).

[azzntittiz]

Start supporting and encouraging talented artistes then.

[COCOCHANEL]

hiphop artists these days seem to be going for either the dorky or the fruity pebbles look. back in my day they were just badass thugs.

[dafbloke84]

I never cared for hip hop. Just a genre consisting of wogs and black cunts shouting rubbish into a microphone, about how sorrowful and shit their lives are!

[CuriousMufuxka]

The problem is the lazy attempt of effort. Hip hop, Rap, Rock, Classical, etc. defined the highest quality of music. The summit has already been surpassed and it's a shitty autotuned ride down..

[That2kKid21]

It's not because of the cussing or the profanity. It's because of trappers like 21 savage and little yachty. We need them gone. and then it will be cleansed.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

So you can join the other 98% of the gag community who has never listened to rap in their life

[Anonymous]

I think a lot of it is just for shock value these days. The more controversy they can create, the more attention they get from the stupid media and kids.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Hip hop music is trash and will always be trash. The songs make no coherent sense.

[beebella]

Hip-Hop has been "dirty" for a long time, honey.

[Toad-1]

yeah, right? the're no 'becoming' lol

[Anonymous]

It's origins are traced back to the 1960's NYS prison system.

[lynnj88]

Rap has been dirty since the 90's.

[Logorithim]

That is what hip hop is, and has always been.
