Why do some white people like rap music when there's lyrics like these..............?

Question

See this link http://www.amren.com/rap/rap1.htm

I am extremely offended. Why isn't anyone else? I don't understand why some people are so brainwashed they'll dance to a song that says they deserve to die because they're white! And if for some weird reason, you think these lyrics are ok....why can't whites write lyrics against other races????

Answer 1

I knew that blacks wrote bad lyrics but not like this. This is going way over the line! I am extremely offended like you are. I never liked rap and now that I saw this I dont plan to listen to it. Black rappers are stupid and think that white people, since we have money /good jobs /education, owe them something. We dont.

Answer 2

Why isn't anyone else offended? It's simple. With the exception of two of those songs (both by French artists who probably can't even get distribution in the US), all of the examples on that page are ten or more years old. Back then, gangsta rap was still new and taboo and any group with a scary, over-the-top lyric could get a record deal. Times changed, rap changed, and almost all of those groups are dead and gone. The only people who are still paying attention to songs from that era are the white supremacists who run sites like the one you linked to. And your claim that whites "can't write lyrics against other races" is just laughable. A 5-second google search will turn up lyrics just as stupid and racist as the ones you linked to, the only difference being that they were released this year.

Answer 3

Do you know how old some of those songs are? And do you know the probability of even hearing those songs on the radio? You don't hear them on the radio because the people who sing those songs are unsuccesful rappers who want attentiion and by even pointing tham out, your giving them exactly what they want. Mainstream rap and hip hop is nothing like that.
Why are some ppl answering saying BLACK rappers are stupid when there are WHITE rappers talkin about puttin their ex wife in a trunk? Let's not just limit rap to Black ppl cuz that would be RACIST and if other races can listen to it and try to perform it then they should take responsibility when ignorant people try to stereotype it.

Answer 4

Look at the date of every song referenced there--they are all during the 90s...you need to remember at this time there were alot of high profile events that were fueling tensions between blacks and whites. The Rodney King beating, the OJ Simpson trial...these people were just expressing their views. There are many singers today who are expressing their opinions about Iraqis and other Arab cultures because of the war/Sept 11....when people look back 10 years later are they going to be as ignorant as you are and call artists who are expressing themselves through their right of free speech, racists???

Answer 5

i does not call white human beings dumb for listening to hint. relatively its alot of black people who purchase the Soulja Boy album too. additionally i'm black and that i offered the Lil Wayne album just to make certain what the huge deal is over him. So i think i'm dumb too for giving hip-hop a brilliant gamble and attempting to assist those human beings artwork solid or undesirable. stop making each thing approximately race and revel in the music.

Answer 6

i think most people know its just for show...like all the "gangsta" rappers with their bling bling and b*tches...its pretty sad actually because hip hop used to be just about feelin the beat and makin some hot rhymes, but now people think rap is all bad. I'd suggest checking out "underground" rap groups like Jurassic 5 for a taste of true hip hop.

Answer 7

people dance to beats, not lyrics. and for the most part people don't care. like most rap has women referred to as bit*ches or hoes, you'll see woman frolick to the dance floor whenever that songs starts playing. most people are in the moment withth dancing thing, others focus on lyrics. it's all about how to sell more records in the end

Answer 8

Lack of judgement & / or BAD TASTE, or they just don't hear the lyrics. Then they go beat each other up, or get involved in a
" drive - by ". I don't like Rap OR Heavy Metal, BTW.

Answer 9

you're so ignorant it pains me. Your stereotyping every rap song and artist b/c a few artists are racist. That would be like me calling everyone in your country (including you) racist because of a few bad apples. Rap songs like the ones in the link you gave are not listened to many people of any skin color, they suck.

Answer 10
