yeah is there anybody else out there like me? i just listen to it and it nearl pisses me off...i'd actually would rather listen to slow **** country... yesturday, i was forced to listen to it because i was riding the bus and forgot my CD player...there was a song on the radio with like i think it was outcast or somebody trying to be outcast...it sounded like techno a little, but just like stupid as f#ck man...and there was some girl singing... "i won't let you take me home...would you still be around bay bay? around bay bay? no no no no....don't mess wit muh heart" i was like, shut the F#CK UP! please! nobody plays thier own intruments, and everybody always talks about the same old dayum thing, and it's always a remake of a song from like the 80s or something...same beat, just sped up...fake **** gansgta contributing to the mess i call the "club culture" that's f-ing up our young black people...gangsta rap had a better inpact on us than this "get in da club 'tho ya hands up" BS... like i seriously can't stand rap music man, any of it...anybody else out there like me? what do you listen to instead? do people make fun of you? lsitening to rap music just makes me what to spit up myself :???:

i don't like the way it degrades women the majority of rap music doesn't do anything to lift us up as a people, which isn't it's purpose....it's just to entertain...but rap music unlike the other genres doesn't just entertain, it shapes our people...wherever rap goes, that's where our people go esp. in the inner cities...it tells them how to act, what to wear, ect ect...i don't think it's no longer an expression from the inner city, rap controls what is the people of the inner city... not to mention it's contributing to a club culture that i truely believe is robbing the quality of life from young blacks....every weekend it's drank this, figth with that, and f#ck that...it's the music...the same way that 60s psycodelic (spel) music caused white youth to smoke this, swallow that, trip out on this....i'm not saying it started it, but it contributes to the decline by glorifying it...wtf music is powerful...music affects the soul...did you know that you use the same part of your brain to worship and to listen to music? music is sound that affects the soul, and we should be careful what crap we put in our CD players...
oh man this is SOOO true! I am so glad someone came out and said this... I've stopped listening to most rap because of this...especially me being a christian and all that (not to offend others and their beliefs) but my body is a temple and I'm being more careful about what I let in...I didn't even curse til I started listening to hip-hop in 3rd grade...and it's hard to cut out bad habits when ur constantly listening to music like that. I think everybody (especially christians) needs to see this video, "The Truth Behind Hip Hop"...it's DEEP and it really talks about how hip-hop is manipulating and controlling today's youth and how there are hidden messages in rap music...it's good!

Didn't say the music was bad it's just they lost all my respect feeling the need to add a white girl, I guess to gain popular status.

Not really. black eyed peas used to be the ish. My fave was Joints and Jam. The girl is what made them well, overly mainstream. The mainstream public is trying to make them the Black No Doubt. That's my opinion.

Which makes them sellouts to me. They were good without her.

I actually like her. I think she made them better... more lively. If you read up on her you will see she's not just a white girl. I felt the same way until I read this article about them. That girl has a lot of energy and a good voice!

She still joined the group out of nowhere and their popularity increased in the mainstream world because of her. Which is sad because a lot of our music is basically handed over to white people everyday behind our backs. We fail to notice or care because we are conditioned to believe that whatever is White is going to bring you opportunity. I refuse to believe that this girl made this group any better than what they were. I liked the Black Eyed Peas before she joined. I don't doubt her ability to perform well, but why else would you add a white person to a group to "boost the energy" of the group? I thought it was some major B.S. Black people need to WAKE UP!!! ANYWAY, rap music as a well as a whole lot of other black music is falling into this chasm of unconsciousness. The music itself is becoming self-destructive, annihiliating, and abusive to our community. I can't stand the direction mainstream rap music is going into due to the unconscious, self-hating, mentally disturbing, and weak rhetorical nonsense spitted out through the lyrics of these songs. If you want to make the argument of rap addressing the issues of Black life, then fine. But supporting mainstream rap and it's negative overtones and messages doesn't address Black life in it's truest reality. Again, black folk really need to wake up and see these acts of destruction to our consciousness, or else we will end up as lost, confused, and crazy as these White oppressing "rap" supporters have planned for us to be.
