Rap Is Crap

Posted By Ben Shapiro On March 29, 2009 @ 7:05 am In Entertainment, Featured Story, Politics | 2 Comments

Today, [1] Grammy-winning rapper T.I. (Total Imbecile? Thug Idiot?) was sentenced to 18 months behind bars for illegally owning machine guns and silencers.  In the aftermath of his arrest, prosecutors informed T.I. that he could serve two decades in prison; he quickly agreed to 1000 hours of community service, touring around the U.S. talking to teens about the problems with drugs and gangs.  MTV made a show about him called “[2] T.I.’s Road to Redemption.”  This from a guy who dealt drugs as a teen and got busted for coke in 1998.

Here’s the thing: no matter how many hours of community service T.I. does, it will never make up for the crap he puts into the minds of his listeners.  His biggest hit is “Whatever You Like.”  Here’s a sample lyric “Whatever You Like”: Late night sex so wet you’re so tight …Let me put this big boy in yo life / The thang get so wet, it hit so right. 

Excerpt...

In keeping with the hip hop "culture" I say:

[domenad]

Since that rhymed...isn’t that rap itself? And if it is isn’t it ah forget it.

[Slapshot68]

Rap is to music as Ebonics is to the English Language...an abomination.

Rapper 'Ludacris'

Lyrics to Ludacris' Obama rap song, "Obama Is Here":

"Hey... I'm back on it

like I just signed my record deal, yeah the best is here

The Bentley Coupe paint is drippin wet, it got sex appeal

Never shoulda hated, you never shoulda doubted him

With a slot in the President's iPod, Obama shouted him

Said I handled my biz and I'm one of his favorite rappers

Well give Luda a special pardon if I'm ever in the slammer

Better yet put me in office, make me a Vice President

Hillary hated on you so that bitch is irrelevant

Now Jesse talkin slick and apologizin for WHAT~?!

If you said it then you MEANT it how you want it, head or gut

And all you other politicians tryin to hate on my man

Watch us win majority vote in every STATE on my man

You cain't stop what's 'bout to happen, we 'bout to make history

The first black President it's destined and it's meant to be

The threats ain't fazin us, the nooses or the jokes

Get off your ass black people it's time to get out and vote

Paint the White House black and I'm sure that's got 'em terrified

McCain don't belong in ANY chair unless he's paralyzed

Yeah I said it cause Bush is mentally handicapped

Ball up all of his speeches and just throw 'em like candy wraps

Cause what you talkin I hear nothin even relevant

And you the worst of all 43 Presidents

Get out and vote, or the end'll be near

And the world is ready for change cause Obama is here

YEAHHH! Cause Obama is here

The world is ready for change cause Obama is here

Yeahhhh, cause Obama is here

Say world is ready for change cause Obama is here

Hey!

That's what I call it when talking to my daughter.

'C' rap.

She's starting to come around.
I let her listen to my Rush 2112 and Deep Purple in Concert with the Royal Philharmonic.

[AreaMan]

Since that rhymed...isn’t that rap itself? And if it is isn’t it ah forget it.

If all rhyming is rap then I suppose yes...everything that rhymes is crap.

Good work.

[Paladin2]

I rarely hear any of this stuff better than grade C rap.

[Huck]

African-American music had a long illustrious run. But with hip-hop, they have finally produced some seriously bad music. And I mean bad as in not good. 50 Cent is a long way from Duke Ellington, or even Chuck Berry.

[Cheetahcat]

Classy people we have here\s

[AreaMan]

True, what passes for popular music today is a kick in the nuts to the great black composers and performers.

[AreaMan]

Classy people we have here\s

Hey, that's "classy" with a K baby....Klassy!

[reagan_fanatic]

Rap ‘music’ is just one of the more visible symbols of a society rotting from the inside out.

[OB1kNOb]

Rap Is Crap Without the 'C'.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Rap is ghetto garbage!

[ClearBlueSky]

Rap is the national anthem of the Criminal Culture. They are thugs and criminals with agents- making a little ‘legal’ money off of the ignorant ‘tolerant’ non-thugs.
They come from the ghetto/thug/brutal culture and remain attached to it- evidenced by their frequent deaths by the very ‘culture’ they promote.
Case in point- Rhianna and Beyonce. Both beautiful girls, look classy, BUT, their taste is thug.
Ignorant, criminal trash- wandering shreds of human debris, as El Rushbo says.
I’d hoped rap would go the way of disco- but evidently the criminal class and mindset is too deeply rooted.
Then there are too many of the liberal ‘everything is good’ types who help them glorify the obscenity and violence of all things ‘thug’.
The best we can hope for is a rap Valentines Day massacre, a-la- the Mafia.

[Commander X]

Exactly what I have said!

[Sloth]

For what it’s worth, American citizens should be free to own both machine guns and silencers (without gov’t permission or ‘tax stamps’) under the Second Amendment.

[Sloth]

Whatever T.I.’s failings, without him we wouldn’t have Weird Al’s excellent parody:

[subterfuge]

Rap “music” was invented by and for black guys that can’t sing. And mosts rap doesn’t have any actual musical instruments associated with it, except sampled bits played over and over.

Ever hear snoop-dog try to sing a genuine note? Dude be trippin’.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Tone Loc had some cool tunes....and Run DMC had a few. The Crystal Method and SNAP have a few good rap songs.

Everything else I've heard is total crap.

And "Hip hop" isn't even worth mentioning.
