What makes you say that ?Are you sure mate? have you been to NY recently I would harbour a guess that the worse off there are better off than their equivalents here....
J Dilla (RIP) did more for the genre than all the wappers mentioned above without speaking a word.
they do what they have to do to survive. no they do what they have to do because they are f***ing bone idle and want some trainers but its hard to hold down a job as a millionaire gangster when you are monged on weed all day.
rappers are utter wankers and their music is shit.
Jesus. Generalisation at its finest.
I think you'll find a 95% of the UK's emcees hold down jobs and work damn hard at both that and their music. Surely you can come with something better than a lazy stereotype.
Is your user name from Dr Octagon's Blue Flowers by any chance? "Listen to my heart beat delete beep beep beep"?

What makes you say that ?
they're just trying to ruin yet ANOTHER thread with their "ooh, middle class liberal people are so rubbish blah blah blah you don't understand what i had to go through blah blah blah" crap, that would be interesting if it wasn't written ALL THE TIME
stop having a go at rappers.

I'm out of here before I get covered in Bushy and Spanish's jizz after they binfest each other off - again.
"Time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade
Born sinner, the opposite of a winner
Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner"
Yep, a modern masterpiece. It really IS a work of genius.
"Blow up like a landmine on a road to Sangin
My lyrics is bangin
Hangin'. Wid my homies in Portslade. Fairtrade. Get Paid.
Now I'm gettin' laid. Keep my bitches afraid.
It's the only way."
Yawn.
I used to quite like The Pharcyde and De La Soul. Cheeky little lyrics with a bit of nouse behind them. I just never really got the whole Gangster Rap genre. Probbaly because I have no relation to it whatsoever. But when I hear grown men rapping about champagne, guns, money and bitches or about how the police are bad people etc it just strikes me as quite immature rambling. There just doesn't seem to be any substance to them.
I can see that if you grew up poor in a rough neighbourhood getting hassle from the police (though I think a large proportion of that hassle may be imagined) then things like gold jewelery and large wheel trims may be an attractive lure, a shiny object to a magpie if you will.
However, I don't wish to be shouted at or preached to by a large black man or skinny white kids from London Suburbs for that matter.
Yes it's hard if you live on a council estate and deal drugs for a living I'm sure but then holding down a job, paying taxes, putting kids through school, paying a mortgage etc is not an easy ride these days either but you don't see Mr Smith who just got made redundant from the gas fire making plant dealing drugs because he has a pregnant wife and two kids to feed at home.
Nibble - did you watch 'the wire?' series 1 in the projects, series 2 focusing on dockers having to do just that.
