Why do so many young dudes take Hip hop so seriously?

[-----]

Especially at this late date.

People out here are actually arguing about how fly trap music is?

Enough of this grown crack baby schitt. 90% of rap is absolutely garbage. It had its run and fizzled out years ago.

And no hip hop not a culture.
It WAS a subculture but ultimately that aspect was mostly a new york thing.

Niiggas need to come realize how they look in the eyes of the world by taking this nonsense so serious.

 

[H@LLOW]

The lack of a daddy in the house.

 

[West Coast Avenger]

Please....I'm sure you took it seriously too about ten years ago.....

 

[MillionMills]

No fathers

 

[iFightSeagullsForBread]

God forbid people have a form of passion for something.

I've accidentally stumbled into the booth a few times and left like

Grown dudes tryna out Stan each other.
Pulling out urban legends from decades ago.
Ready to attack the first person who criticizes rap.
Like a bunch of zombies smh

Rap, before it was commercialized and appropriated, had potential to be a powerful tool. Now it's a tool used against us

There are people who take all kinds of music seriously.

People listen to punk and wear Doc Martens and spike their hair.
People listen to country music and get fancy belt buckles and boots and flannel shirts and stuff.
People listen to heavy metal and get piercings and tattoos.

It's not just hip hop that has an influence on its listeners.

The last GREAT cd I bought was the Chronic. ('92 edition)

Go to The Booth and ask this question

[VegasCAC]

They're fans. You could ask the same question of any form of entertainment- from sports to movies. This entire site is based off of fandom- The Coliseum, The Booth, Arcadium, etc.

Chill breh

But name another genre that teaches it's audience to kill, hate and disrespect each other regularly.

rap is fukking cartoony as fukk. its a bunch of caricatures exaggerating their lives for street cred and a few dollars while the label presidents laugh at them for making them rich.

Look at hip hop as the ultimate in freedom of speech......and stuff.

Its hustling backwards personified.
