Life / WHAT DO YOUNG POLES SEE IN RAP CRAP? [63]
rap and hip-hop not the same. Gangster rap is normally crude and not always intelligent. Hip-hop is!; often talking about politics, the state of a country, famine wars etc. Hip-hop was started by people who felt that they didn't have a voice in the society they lived in. It was like a social voice for the deprived and a lot of the early players actually had degrees in English, philosophy or other high brow subjects. Gangster rap is cheap and the fans are often fickle but groups like Jurassic 5 or The Roots have had a loyal fan base for years. Hip- hop battles were also used to settle arguements and old scores (whose the best dancer), rather than shooting or knifing someone; Gangster rap seems to encourage violence and glorify sex crimes. Hip hop for ever, rap is just for Xmas.
piece of peace Y'all!!
