Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy - The Winter of the Long Hot Summer   Not all hip-hop is crap. The reality is this, Britney Spears is crap, so is Barry Manalow (frankly I don't particularly care if I spelled his name right). There have been many white bands representing a lot of white music that is intellectually void, or just of extremely poor musicianship. Just like in hip-hop, just like in rap (there is a difference you know), just like in rock, punk, pop, etc. etc. etc. The only reason you hate hip-hop, is because it is, much like blues and jazz, uniquely black. Yes, it has radiated to different cultures, but that is merely academic. Above is just a small example of the talented black musicians who don't take the route of the guns a blazing gangster. Nas for instance is a very intelligent rapper, so is Sage Francis. However, you folks are no more in the business of putting anything Black within miles of a good light as I am in the business of taking anything you folks say as having any real weight or value in the real world. First of all, BARRY MANILOW IS A JEW! That's why he sucks! :D Don't you dare say Barry Manilow is White music, Good lawd. Britney Spears? She's a race traitor in the first place, she screws Jew boys:eek: She has been disowned by the White race, you can have her. Plus her music is promoted, distributed, manufactured, produced, and pumped over the airwaves by Jewish individuals, yeah.    Nope, I think the only reason WN's hate hip hop is because it promotes, glamourizes, and glorifies irresponsible sexuality, slutty behavior, drug use, drug dealing, murder, rape, robbery, assault, theft, gang banging, materialism, it refers to woman as whores, hoes, bitches, they brag about being pimps , who would brag about being a pimp? None of those rappers are actually pimps in the first place, even if they were, pimps are the scum of the Earth. They can't make a living for themselves so they expolit down and out nieve girls, and whores, what kind of man would do such a thing? I don't like rap for it's negative influence on society, it promotes, condones, glamourizes, criminal behavior, irresponsible sexuality etc etc... Oh......and it is also very shallow, vain, arrogant music. Rap=Moron Music, the downfall of ALL civilization no matter Black or White. It's nothing to do with it being a black musical genre, I like some Black music. Plus......like I keep telling people, the Blues and Jazz are not as uniquely Black as people like to make it seem in the first place......I'm not going into detail because I don't feel like it but......no, there wouldn't be jazz or blues without White people, seriously homie G. :p White music influenced the creation of the blues and jazz in the first place. But whatever you think is true.     PS- Nas is a very intelligent rapper? Maybe so, but that isn't saying much :D And I HAVE heard his so called music, it's trash. GARBAGE.  Now...TUPAC SHAKUR WAS a very intelligent man, I'm sure of it, I know that he was a very well read man and attended a school of the arts. But....I despise him and his so called music. Like the BLACK actor Laurence Fishburne said about Tupac...I can't remember the exact words but he said he didn't like Tupac, didn't like him because he was so much smarter than the people around him. He knew better than to do what he was doing, which was making an arrogant jackass fool out of himself and by extension, Black Americans. He's right too. And now all of Black America and even much of White America treat the guy like some sort of hero. Blacks should despise the man and everything he stood for. He was making Blacks look bad. Rap makes Blacks look bad. It should be outlawed. :D
