I don't listen to it regularly. But when I do, I like to listen to:
Missy Elliot (I especially like what she & P. Diddy did in Janet Jackson's "I Bet You Think This Song Is About You")
P. Diddy
I've always loved Salt & Peppa (damn, I miss their fine, sexy asses)

Hate it, hate the message it sends, hate the style, hate what it does to young people.
Hate this whole Mac-daddy, ho, gun, violent, pile of shit. It gets worse and worse.
They have to steal from real artists. Can write their own stuff, can't write period.
Want it to go away, fast.
Did I make my opinion of this style of 'music' clear enough?

Could one surmise that you're not too keen on crap music (Sorry I meant rap, I think).
Your generation gap is showing teach. But I'm with you, can't stand the stuff (my generation gap's showing too!)

didn't you tell me rap is poetry? lol Of course, you didn't tell me you liked it.
I don't care for it. I'll concede some of it is decent, but the overall images and lyrics are demeaning and offensive. If a black girl thinks it's cool to be called bitch and skank, I've got a problem with that. I oppose glamourizing ganster lifestyle and materialism.
All black people don't share these views and I resent the stereotyping so no I'm not big on rap.
My daughter disagrees. ((sigh)) Go figure.
Now hip hop, I can handle that a lot better. I like Lauryn Hill. She's made some disparaging remarks. I chucked it up to her age and maturity. I'm waiting to see if experience alters some of her views.
I know part of my bent is a generation gap and I'm all right wid it.
Peace,
daughter

You got me Daughter. Some of it is poetry. When I read what some of my students have written I can see their souls pouring out onto the paper. I see the pain and rage. That is poetry. I have seen some wonderful stuff. Some of the rap they write, I hate, it is still poetry. It is still good. But I don't like it. I tell them so. I tell them why I don't like it. I tell them it is good also.
If they took this same message, word for word, and performed it on a stage with guns, half naked girls, cursing, promoting violence and drug usage, then I say those same words are no longer poetry. Those words, those feelings, become something else. I don't know what that something else is...
I don't see rap, or hip hop being a racial thing at all. It is a lifestyle thing. And I hate it. What's in it for me, screw everyone else. Listen to me, I don't care what you say though.
It is going to change or go away some day. Maybe it is generational. But I think the reason it is going to go away is that main stream America is starting to accept it, and use it. That will kill it.
