Guest Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 [quote name='mulls' date='Aug 21 2003, 12:07 AM']to be fair, most 'gangsta' rappers were all products of their environment. the true ones, anyway (tupac, biggie, etc.) they exploited their own lives to make a better life for themselves. now, if you want to argue that once they 'made it' they should have changed their tune, i wouldn't disagree. it's not necessary to rap about having sex with b*tches and drinking 40's at a club once you've made it out of the hood. but that's what many rappers consider to be success. the urban lifestyle has been a huuuge moneymaker for record labels, and it's hard for rappers not to make music about where and what they've come from, to what they are now (glamorous superstars) especially when it will make you a multi-millionaire.

Guest Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 [quote name='StatingTheObvious' date='Sep 20 2005, 07:47 AM']Unlike rock and roll that has it's roots in jazz, blues, and gospel, RAP's roots are based on choosing to actively turn against societal values with violence and hedonism. You can't make a zebra change his stripes. [right][snapback]730874[/snapback][/right] [/quote] ur hillarious bro...... u'll set there and defend rock n roll as being pure but will say that "ALL RAP " is from the devil..............if anything i would say its the other way around........at least alot of these rap artist acknowlege God....alot more then i can say for most of the rock i hear.....

God's Errand Girl Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 In today's American culture, Eminem has the broadest appeal regarding an audience. Brittney and Christina might influence a lack of clothing, but Eminem's message promotes rebellion against family and authority as well as apathy towards life.

Guest T-Bone Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 [quote name='IcePrincessKRS' date='Aug 19 2003, 01:17 PM']Thats tough, true Madonna started it all, but she also didn't pretend to be a "good girl" like Brtiney did (at least not that I recall)... In a way I think pretending to be one thing while blatantly doing the opposite is worse than being bad to begin with. [right][snapback]20203[/snapback][/right] [/quote] I agree wholeheartedly. [quote name='dUSt' date='Aug 19 2003, 06:13 PM']It all started with Elvis... [right][snapback]20314[/snapback][/right] [/quote] I'm sure they blamed "Big Band" back in the day. (Can't think of any Big Band names at the moment though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvis didn't invent rock'n'roll - he was simply the first huge star. He got his style from black blues musicians. Bill Haley and his Comets were really the first white rock'n'roll band. The "rock'n'roll" style of blues began ca 1950 among black musicians. Elvis and the like basically desegregated the music and made it popular among white teenagers.
