I used to be a huge fan of Hip Hop, until I got to college and became a little more educated (not meant to offend anyone).
I love the sound of Hip Hop, yet I reject the lyrics of many mainstream rappers. Too much promotion of violence (whether it's intended or not), degradation of women, and racial slurs.
I would love to see a more "enlightened" politically involved form of Hip Hop rise to the top, but that won't happen. Until something like that happens, I'll just stay away from negative forms of Hip Hop, and stick to the postive forms and of course my personal favorite genre, Drum n' Bass.

It seems you just need to know where to go. If you're waiting for the more "mainstream" artists to change their "tune", you'll be waiting forever. Nowadays you have to weed through the trash to find the gold. Hip-hop is still great music. If you'd like to know where to begin, holla at me.

That's why I said I still like the sound.
When I hear positive Hip Hop, that doesn't look to exploit teenagers love for guns and violence, I love it.
But you are totally correct. Looking for positive Hip Hop, is like looking through a dumpster searching for a something valuable.
That's a big reason why I stopped listening to Hip Hop, and started listening to Jungle and DnB. With Jungle and DnB, you have phat beats, but none of the negative message.
you're being censored like Samwisegamgee100%CardsFan said:why cant I delete this and move it to the Music board?
That was Technotronic.... I'll never forget when Technotronic hired that model to that video for them since their singer wasnt all that hot....KingofCards said:C & C Music Factory.
