(1,068 posts)Tolerable but not what I would generally classify as rap (in my limited exposure). Nice bass work and the singer had a good voice.
Not one reference to drugs, guns, sex, west coast, misogynistic references to women or racial slurs, are you sure you would classify that as rap?
"rap documents violence, doesn't cause it."
I'd have to disagree, I'd say that rap glorifies violence and due to the desire of young teens wanting to emulate the guys that they see as being rich, famous, covered with bling and with fancy rides, they also emulate the violence that is a common theme running through much of rap. I don't think there is any question that the lifestyle that it portrays and promotes contributes to a lot of the crime and violence that are seen in many urban areas.
