ohhhh I get it "crap" rhymes with "rap".


You have rhyme skills.

you have the gift.


lol

stupid thread. I guess people will read anything. theres already enough creap in the world. isn´t ATS about top secret stuff ???

There was a good discussion at the beginning of the thread, and then it seems like some one who has a motive to promote rap came on lowered the standard of the entire discussion.

I can believe the story. I also remember those who did speak out against how violent rap music was. They were highly criticized, called left wing nuts, fanatical Christian fundamentalists, and etc. No one stopped to even listen.

The parents started to listen, and took time to listen to what their kids were listening to when a series of cop killings occurred that had been related to some rap song about killing cops. I remember how it was all over the media and how bad this song was.

Music is a big influential part of our lives. Even more so with teens, since they listen over and over and over to the songs repeatedly. Even when they claim they don't know the lyrics, it has been proven that they can repeat them when given the first part and asked to finish it. I wish I remembered what I watched now. It was on TV way back when, and I never see it again since with the experiment with the teens.

There is an element of personal responsibility, but teens and young adults just out of their teenage years are not known to make the best decisions. They still have a lot of growing up to do.

Yes, this is an ATS topic. I also won't be surprised if these people visited the heavy metal industry as well as the rap industry. They need to fill the prisons now don't they?

Now I just need to learn more about these private prisons. I won't be surprised if they are just basically forced labor camps. They will do anything to keep the prisoners there longer after they are suppose to be released.

It was a good reading story but its a joke.. Any one really believes rap would turn children into criminals ?...
Thats the same story ever with rock'roll, heavy metal etc...

Fake story is Fake.

Kinda reads like a creative writing short story,
humm?

Ive been arrested multiple times for crimes that i now equate with rap. In jail, i made beats for older rappers using my hands because im very good at percussion. I met many rappers locked up and also many killers, gang members and bank robbers. I see how rap effects people. I blame my whole 6-month sentence on Eminem and Tupac. Seriously. My first rap album was The Eminem Show, and my best friend who was black, introduced me to Tupac. I never turned back.

that's funny, because...I once shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die

Eminem - Not Afraid

"Yeah, it's been a ride
I guess I had to, go to that place, to get to this one
Now some of you, might still be in that place
If you're trying to get out, just follow me
I'll get you there"

Jee, I wonder what Eminem is talking about there.

He's my favourite artist and I can't even BELIEVE that Justin Bieber can come out of nowhere and surpass him in Youtube views. Last time I checked, he had 600 million views on his "Baby" song, while Eminem was 2nd behind with 450 million views.

And ever since this Justin kid popped up and got famous; all I'm seeing nowdays is a lot of little wannabe Biebers. Notice all those kids with their Bieber haircuts? I sure as hell do.
