Vulgar rappers are present where? What about LL Cool J? What is emo music?

I do, in fact, like LL Cool J. And Tyrell, I grew up listening to Kool Moe Dee, Kool & the Gang, the GAP Band, Sly & the Family Stone, Dazz Band, Roger, Cameo, ZAPP, Prince, Morris Day & the Time, Janet Jackson, the Jacksons, etc., etc., etc. None of these people glorified gang-banging, shooting cops, treating women as “ho’s,” doing drugs, or other stupid stuff like that. They actually made good danceable music.

As far as Slipknot goes, I have no clue who they are. I do not listen to grunge rock either – it makes no sense to me, and I don’t consider it “music,” much like I don’t consider rap to be “music.”

Even if this Slipknot talked about killing themselves, none of their entourage went through radio station buildings shooting at people, and shooting themselves is nothing like shooting a stranger or others.

Apples and oranges.

P.S. “Breakin’” and “Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo” were two of my favorite movies. I loved that music AND the dancing. It was all positive, and did also reflect growing up in hard times.

First of all, I don’t know that Elvis said that. And even if you could point me to a direct quote from him that he said that, you still don’t have a valid argument.

If Elvis did make that statement, he certainly didn’t make it the theme of his music. So, he wasn’t “idolized” for his degradation of blacks. Hip-hop artists & rappers, however, ARE idolized for their views and ideals about “bitches” and “ho’s.”

You really don’t deserve “answers” because you won’t accept any of them anyway. Also your lack of grammar and spelling skills really makes it appear to me that you’re not worth replying to.

I will, however, reply to the one most idiotic comment/statement/excuse that you’ve made: “and the shooting in the studio between 50 & game happend once and no one was seriously injured”

Ready James? Here’s my reply…. Timothy McVeigh only blew up the Federal Murrah Building once… and 168 people died. Does that make people like him less dangerous?

Your positions and lack of societal acumen deserve no response. Hence, there will be no more.

P.S. The key marked “Shift” will make capital letters when pressed in conjunction with individual letters. Also, don’t be afraid of any of the punctuation keys – they might make you appear at least a smidgen more intelligent than you currently do.

P.S.S. Yes, it was assumed “Rock” was ruining our country, but that was because the people who danced to it swiveled their hips, as opposed to rappers who SHOOT from the hips! And, no I’ve never heard of the groups you say are part of hip-hop – and that’s exactly my point. Only the ones who are vulger, mean-spirited, and promote violence are the most famous and stood up as the “role models” of the hip-hop world.

Elvis never did a drive-by shooting, and I don’t recall he ever called a woman a “bitch” or a “ho.”
