true colours - hip hop v cameron

Herbie von Smalls · June 13, 2006

not quite what you've been saying on this forum, des. care to explain?

The problem with Rap is that it isn't just some lines from a song or even a single singer. It is an entire culture in which one can submerge oneself. A culture of defensive violence to the exclusive of all else. A culture which feeds on the depression of poor adolescent males and the equally downtodden women who hang around them. Rap feeds of this failure while doing nothing to alleviate it. Through it a tiny group of media gangsters get obscenely rich while maintaining their own communities in a culture of violence and fear. If Idi Amin and Mobuto were alive today they wouldn't bother joining the army or staging coups. They'd just go straight to the recording studios. Rap - the parasite's first choice. If somebody wants to do some serious Rap they should rap about the evil of Rap.
