New Polish generation prefers black culture? [145]
Only rich people can make choices of what music to listen to...
You can listen to music for free on YouTube. You can copy music very easily from other people in your neighbourhood or the people from your school, since a lot of people download or convert music to mp3's these days. I know that's illegal, but I can think of worse crimes than ripping music, and people who can't afford to buy music won't buy it anyway, so there!
I do not think you understand poverty
I've spent my whole life working for minimum wage or less than minimum wage, and I've been homeless a few days as well, so I think I know poverty better than you do.
where are you from... and what ethnicity are you...
I'm from Holland, and I'm an original cheese as we say here.
;)
Hispanics promote it through music... not mainstream though
Blacks promote it through music ---> mainstream....
Yeah, while Hip-Hoppers are trying to fight this mentality, but they don't seem to recieve much understanding or support from people like yourself.
people get killed and drug infested...
Do you think it was any different in the late sixties and the early seventies? (It was probably worse back then!)
you are spitting on their graves by telling me they do not promote rap...
I'm not denying that as I've already mentioned Gangsta Rap, but Hip-Hop doesn't have anything to with Gangsta Rap or gang culture. Just like Punk isn't Heavy Metal, and Rock isn't Country! (What's so hard to understand about that?)
if you do not think this is the prevalent part of the youth of this culture in poor areas... usually black neighborhoods for them... you are mistaken...
I'm not denying that, and I'm not mistaken. You are mistaken when you compare Gangsta Rap and American gang culture to Europe's Hip-Hop subculture, because over here Hip-Hop is Hip-Hop, and over here we don't talk about all that good stuff you're referring too, and the ones who do, get ridiculed for being what we call a plastic thug or studio gangster.
they should have better music if they want to help themselves... the gov't doesn't need to step in...
I agree! I also know how Hip-Hop started and what it used to be like in the USA, so please, don't blame the wrong people for liking a style of music which has nothing to do with crime and gang culture. We can't help it that gangmembers think it's ''Hip-Hop'' to deal drugs and murder each other, and as far as I'm aware there have been *loads* of Hip-Hop artists who've been trying to spread a positive message against gang-related issues.
I agree people should take Gangsta Rap out of the air and ban it from television, but guess what? The predominantly white businessmen who are occupying all those jobs in the media circus like to promote and sell all that sex and violence to the masses because it's marketable, so maybe it's not *all* black culture that's the problem here? I hope you understand where I'm coming from.
