i dunno if this somethin like this was posted b4

but i wanted to know what ya'll thought about gangster rap, and actual gangsters---
do ya'll think gangsta rap influences violence-- or violence influences gangsta rap---


i think violence influences it-- if there was no "rap" people would still be gettin shot

^Honestly...SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Rap Didn't Invend Violence OK? Niggas Was Gettin Shot WAAAAAAAAAAAAY Before 'Hip-Hop' Was Invented, So Your Question Holds No Relevance....Bird Ass Nigga...

i know rap didnt invent violence-- besides that u repeated what i said i think violence influences it-- if there was no "rap" people would still be gettin shot

people rap what they know--if you from the "hood" you know about drugs and violence so u rap about it-in turn glorifing violence -- and "political america" believes gangsta rap promotes violence

Ummm...I Listen To Moby

if you from the "hood" you know about drugs and violence so u rap about it-in turn glorifing violence

I dont live in the hood, at the moment, and I bet I know more about drugs and violence, but especially drugs then any hood living motherfucker out there

Not every hood is a crack spot, not every hood is violent
The majority of them are just hard working people trying to make ends meet and come together as a community because when your poor you have to work together, whereas in the suburbs where they have a bit more money, you no longer need the help of your neighbour and thus everyone locks themselves up and plans all sorts of shady shit


I wanted to know what ya'll thought about gangster rap

I like it, thought gangster rap is a very loose term. Does the mention of guns automatically make it gangsta rap ? I listen to Dead Prez and Hell Razah, I guess their politically conscious rappers yet there is a lot of mentions about guns. Is that gangsta rap ? Is Snoop, a big pussy and very commercial rapper a gangster rapper ? So its hard to answer the question........but whatever, for what it is, yeah I like it simply because its just so embedded in our brains.

and actual gangsters

"gangsters supposed to fight enforcement not each other" - Spectrum

I aint got no problems with gangsters, whatever that means nowadays.
I respect intellegence and I respect morals, if you have those two things I could give a fuck less what your 'labelled' as.
