Houston protesters join 'Day of Decency' fight against hip-hop lyrics

[Jenn! 918]

However that said, hip-hop and rap have been in a bit of a rut as late, I'll admit.

Heard any of the Ninja Tunes stuff? There's also more groups like Gorillaz. I'm not into eminem (that kind of rap), but I quite like those. Different strokes and all that..

Nope, I'll check it out. I did like the last Gorillaz album alot, which I think has as much to do with Danger Mouse (who's also do a lot of other stuff I like) as Damon Albarn (who I'm also a fan of I'll admit).

EDIT: The rut I was referring to was the more traditional rap scene, rather than the Indie crossover stuff like Gorillaz.

Things will get better when Diddy changes his name again.

I still laugh about that SNL "TV Funhouse" skit about Diddy, along the lines of "What does Diddy do?" where they show a random rappers doing their thing in a Diddy music video and all Diddy does is go "Yeah", "Uh" in the video and nothing else. So true!

Now Jazz, sole, the blues and R&B is music. Hip-Hop and rap is freakin junk; as is the current rock where you cannot understand a word the clowns are saying..

How do you figure that then?

PWNED!

how??

How do you figure that Jazz, Soul, Blues and R&B are "music", while Hip-Hop and Rap is "Freakin junk"?

What's "music" to you, might be "Freakin junk" to someone else. Specifically I loathe R&B with a passion, and hip-hop and rap has been incorporated alongside other styles in a number of acts that I quite like.

R&B is not bad but far from my favorite. Personally I am more into Euro style music. I like the various types of music on http://www.di.fm

So for me the sound of rap and hip hop, as well as grunge, is ####### music. Absolutely cannot stand alternative rock.

I just prefer my children to listen to music not involving killing your mom or your ho, selling your drugs and killing your dealer, or slapping your ho around bc she didnt give the BJ you wanted. rap music is off the radio for my kids. Im glad my daughter listens to trance and techno like i do, most of it has no lyrics anyway, and she loves foriegn music, hey if she cant understand it then im ok with that
