Yes there are several bad Rap acts.
There are a lot of crap bands in most genres.
You just seperate the wheat from the chaff.

Public Enemy
NWA
Jesus.. the great grandaddy of Rap Gil Scott Heron was ALL about social issues.
Currentlt theres 4/25th... you probably haven't heard of them..
theyre so relevant the pentagon keeps trying to silence them.
And since when did music need to be striving for positive social change to be good
I don't see a lot of that in any genre. |
The problem I have is the homophobic and the misogynistic aspects, as well as the promotion of violence and the "homie" mentality that makes it so people can say anything without recourse because if someone says something back, they can just threaten them with their homies.
Like I asked Joseph: Can you name a gay hip-hop artist? How about a gay rap artist? If the whole genre is not anti-gay and misogynistic beyond any other culture that's promoted by the entertainment industry, how about some proof? If you can't name a gay rap or hip-hop artist, you HAVE no proof.
Unless of course you think that misogyny is a good thing and that it's GOOD for society to destroy 40 years of progress?
