Nobody can understand what them rappers are saying anyways.
Its idiotic music to me. Nah....wouldn't matter to me because I hate that crap.
As a musician....no,as a fan of music yes. Can't stand that crap....I get pissed off when people can't play a single instrument,can't read or write music and need computers to do it all for them while they call themselves artists and musicians. No time for it. I was a big fan of Run DMC when they came out and the whole genre just turned into garbage. After Run DMC...thats as far as I go. Remember NWA....music for dummies
That's fine, as long as they will do it in English so can keep up.
Sadly, that sort of music is far and in between in present time, when it comes to rap and hip hop music. I'm seeing it more in Alternative/rock music than anything lately. As far as rap goes, pretty recently Macklemore came out with a song. Okay, okay. I know some people would say Macklemore is more pop than anything.

Some of the interviews the infamous Ricky Ross has done about the CIA drug stuff and Rap were very interesting... Ricky was part of a big operation in California and on more than one interview he has basically said the same as your post.. Gangster Rap makes gangsters and drug dealers in his opinion.. Where did I get my money, where did I get my women, drugs baby drugs..

The prison industrial complex pays too well for political rap to be mainstream.
