World Star Hip Hop

[El Kabong]

I'm fairly open minded in regards to different cultures but can someone explain this to me? The flashing money, the sagging pants, the flashing of mostly ILLEGAL firearms, the constant "Look at me, OOOH OOOH I need attention!!!", the horrible rapping, the fights, the dog fighting, etc....

What good is that "culture" to society? What positives does it bring to the table?



That's just a taste of what World Star Hip Hop offers....your thoughts?

It brings nothing to the table besides some random jerkoff videos of idiots like broner and wannabe rappers making fool of themselves..

Seems like everybody and their mamas are rappers these days with fake blings around their necks. So fucking retarded and classless.. lol its like theyve never seen success before..

And they all have their own record labels too haha, so and so entertainment.. the other week my black homey from way back sent me this link telling me to check out his new label... he asked me to join and im like niga I dont rap , im a businessman!

It's a cesspool and offers nothing to anything, but I think it's quite sad at the same time. The African-American contribution to art and pop culture in the 20th century was enormous and incredible, yet was shunned or at least vastly unrecognized for the longest time. I think sadly a lot of the "hip hop attitude" stems from that same kind of ignorance. That's not to say for a second there isn't a lot of great hip hop, or artists who are perfectly amicable, but a lot of the surrounding image is hateful and obnoxious and it strikes me that is sort of a vindictive measure.

I really don't understand how rap/hip hop fell to the point where this kind of idiotic bullcrap is tolerated.

Originally the music was supposed to be fun or tell about the harsh realities of growing up in the inner cities the same way Blues and Jazz started. If you take a song like 'The Message' by Grandmaster Flash it's a cry for help/cry for action but that kind of message over the years devolved into a glorification of all that was wrong and needed to be fixed in 'The Message' and now we have World Star Hip Hop and it's just lowest common denominator garbage and the images and language do nothing but inflate the very worst stereotypes.

I understand it's not a white guy's job/place to say "That shit isn't right" but hell even guys like Bill Cosby catch shit for trying to call out the blatant ignorance of a sliver of society who provide nothing positive to society but are yet still protected from criticism for some odd reason. And believe you me there are a shit ton of idiot pathetic worthless white people around, but I would not for 1 second keep someone of any race/religion/ethnicity from saying the truth about those scum of the earth people that I just happen to share a race with.

It just boggles my mind what these guys in the videos do a lot of which is blatantly illegal and there are no cops around, nobody calling the cops, and then it's put on the internet and it's like everyone just lets it happen....I will guarantee you nobody NOBODY wants that shit in their neighborhood.

And to be quite fair, p4pking, you're 100% correct African-American contribution to art and pop culture from the very start of the United States is amazing and something I am in awe of, but this tiny little segment of the population is so self destructive and randomly violent it is terrifying but also quite a shame because you never know what kind of talent has succumbed to that kind of lifestyle or has been extinguished purposely or accidentally because of that lifestyle.

The hip hop culture? Urban culture? Or black culture?

How are these people making your personal life a problem?

Exactly. No offense but why dont you just not watch it.?

They live in my country, they promote random violence which could be a hazard to MY life or the life of one of my loved ones and a danger to property I own.

The hip hop culture? Urban culture? Or black culture?

Whatever you want to call it. The glorification of lowest common denominator activities: gang life, materialism, willful ignorance, criminal activities, being openly hostile for no good reason....it's a problem because it destroys lives quite literally. You don't have to be in that culture to get killed by that culture.


I'd love to not have that culture around. And this is not 100% Lyle hating on black people, it's me wanting a safe place to live and even though there's a miniscule amount of people participating in this gutter culture it's bad for EVERYONE no matter race, ethnicity, religion, etc. No good comes from it, no art, no lessons, no productivity, it doesn't lift people up it destroys neighborhoods, it destroys life in general.



@Fenster @imp....what should I take from that culture? Should I LEARN to be ignorant, violent, and how to be a general menace to society? Would that make me a better person to understand that culture? I've got 0 in common with those idiots other than I live on Earth.

It's not about WATCHING it's about those are REAL PEOPLE in the United States and that is how they live....I live in the United States and what those people do is WRONG and hurtful to my fellow citizens.

For crying out loud.

Do you sit in your house with padded walls scared to leave.

Stop worrying and start living.

Theres lots of other things that are worse than this that can be found on certain racist websites and political parties in goverment that use an eveb scarier undertone but are actually robbing us even more financially.

I just think you need to stop worrying and creating too much stress for yourself or your going to end up in a george zimmerman scenerio.

Chill out.

I would be more concerned about Satanist, peodophile, racist cultures and groups in the USA than hip hop rap crap that is coming from.
