Snoop Dogg Wants Zuckerberg as Sports Partner

[Assmar]

[citation][nom]graham_71[/nom]I like most normal music, pop, easy listening, country etc but when you work in a factory with other people you have to put up with the cRAP they listen to as well.[/citation]
LOL country is about as abnormal as it gets man. Easy listening? You mean like the music in the elevators, yes? Enjoy your Britneys and Biebers as well, that's just not for me. Your idea of normal music is anything but, and is pretty narrow. But isn't being closed minded why we all moved to the suburbs?

BRRRAP!

[citation][nom]bustapr[/nom]I can only imagine is Zuckerberg were the owner of a football team. Teenage girls swarming into the stadium screaming whenever zuckerberg is on camera, and no attention to the game. And Snoop Dogg sucks, lost his popularity in the 90s.[/citation]

Snoop is the business.

assmar,

Yeah, nothing like hearing about ho ho's and ding dongs and capping some cops while smoking some dope to get me all ready for my office desk job every morning. Rap is part of the reason this country is going to hell. Dumb white kids and others think they can be cool and/or tough by being "street. " Someday, anthropologists will have their hands full trying to figure out why humanity took a turn for the worse and strove for the lowest common denominator of glorifying the bottom ghetto life. As for me, I prefer my middle class life driving my Bimmer to and from my cush job to getting into constant shootouts with the 'po 'po.

Fail. You have done nothing, but prove that you are ignorant of hip-hop music and culture.

Was 2pac ignorant of hip-hop music and culture ?

Music can affect a persons state of mine, Some music is relaxing, some music makes you feel good, and some "music" makes you feel like smashing someone's face in. It's for this reason I believe RAP should be treated like porn, Rated 18, not broadcast in public & shame on anyone caught listening to it.

For me ignorance is bliss, but if there's anything positive you can tell me about hip-hop music and culture I will be surprised.

Are you trying to say that I meant ignorance of hip-hop music and culture is the origin of "nasty" subjects in the music? If so, no. Hip-hop is not all "positive" in the first place.

I don't see 2Pac as completely negative. He makes "nasty" music, and also music with consciousness and meaning. That's admirable and very human. No one is perfect.

People get pleasure from music because they either can relate to it, or it's something they aspire to relate to. Music, as with other forms of entertainment (video games, movies, etc.), don't cause you to perform an action or become violent. They just illustrate feelings that are already present within us.

Not all music is "positive." Topics of drugs, promiscuity, and violence are not only present in hip-hop, but also in rock. It's hypocritical to say that hip-hop is negative for containing these topics.

Furthermore, music with a "negative" subject, can either glorify bad behavior, or inform and educate people about what is wrong with society. In the latter, the music is not negative, it's realistic.

Now, "gangsta" rap. I'm obligated to talk about it, since it's the most frequently mentioned sub-genre to describe the whole culture. I like to say that there are two forms of it. The original one - honest, aggressive, and offensive albeit with good intentions, and the corrupted one - with no positive messages.

Early gangsta rap had much political and social commentary in it. (Of course with profanity and violence in between.) Over time the positive messages grew less, and the sub-genre was simplified to just drugs, violence, and promiscuity. If you listen to modern commercial hip-hop, this is, unfortunately, most of what you will hear.

TLDR: Hip-hop is not more or less negative than any other genre.

Ghetto life is glorified in white culture, in your suburban homes, but for the rest of us it's just the result of being poor. How is someone from South Central LA whose father was a drug addict that was never around who sold coke to the white kids in high school to help his mom pay bills supposed to write shitty emo songs about chasing pasty depressed girls so that they can choke each other while they cry and masturbate near each other?

White people buy 50 Cent and Eminem albums by the millions, not Mos Def, Roots, Common, or K'naan to name a few tasteful and brilliant hip-hop artists.
