I turn on the radio and I hear the same thing just by different people. I'm tired of rappers telling me how much money they have and talking about things I can't afford. I'm tired of people telling me to go dumb and shake my dreads. I tired of folks telling me to throw them bows or asking if I ever seen a chevy with butterfly doors. I want to hear about things that matter. I want to hear about things I can relate to. Like, $4.00 a gallon gas and how the government cares so much about iraq, but doesn't set the same standards for 3rd world country's ruled by dictators in Asia and Africa. Like, how they can spend billions on a war, but little kids go with no food to eat hear in the US. Like, how police can murder innocent people and get away with it, but can't seem to put the right people in jail. I want to hear music like NWA's "Fuck The Police", Wyclef's "If I Was President" and Tupac's "Keep Ya Head Up"
Our schools are failing our inner city youth, minorites still suffer from racial injustice, and people are killng each other everyday. I know it's not the rappers fault, but change can start there.

I was thinking the same thing. I coach youth basketball, I mentor kids and more importantly I raise my children the best and right way I know how. But for the kids that aren't as fortunate, that is where the folks that are blessed should step in.
But yea Rap in general is in a sad state. Very few rappers have substance. Thats why all I listen to now is for the most part Pac, DMX, Jada Kiss, and Jay Z as far as rap.

There are a few places in Oakland I would advise OTB's not to go. But like you said that is everywhere. And who said white folks cant go in Oakland? Thats ![[BS flag]](graemlins/bs_flag.gif)

I used to go to Oakland all the time. Some of the best weed I smoked came from them street of OT. I have friends that live there too though lol. I think Oakland has the potential to be a better place. Maybe in a couple more decades.

Kingroy what an interesting topic you opened up here. Where to begin with it would just take to much time. I totally agree with what your saying here and have been feeling this way for years. I used to love rap in the late 80's and mid 90's but then I think it just fell apart too. There's money, girls, bling, 24's or bigger or otherwise I don't roll and money again, in all the videos and music. Another thing disturbing to me is BET (black entertainment television). If there were a WET (white entertainment television) channel there would be law suits galore. F this ! And remember everyone...god bless the U.S.A. ......LOL

Rappers don't care about that stuff. They only care about making money.
I don't listen to rap stations anymore, they don't play the good stuff. Old School is where its at.

LOl...I think we should start a new topic here! Yep ,TNN is the redneck channel however you still couldn't call it WET because Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would sue to the nth degree but you can call it BET. Simple isn't it!

a white dude playing the race card...now thats funny (actually I assumed you were of Caucasian descent). Well it is simple actually. Usually when things are labeled "white" it is used to be followed by "only". Kinda hard to shake 400 years of that stigma.
but this isnt a race issue. It's a music issue. Let's keep it there ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif)
