[quote="Chronic Diarrhea":adfde]I don't like rap at all, but that's my opinion. For some (many) of you who live in Canada or other nations around the world, perhaps you don't quite understand why so many people hate rap. At my university (University of Alabama) everybody has succumbed to the peer pressure of listening to what's cool at the time instead of what they really enjoy. At every frat party all that's ever played is rap. everybody is enthralled with it, more because of what the rap life symbolizes, rather than the music itself. The feeling of bling bling, big cars, easy women, etc. seem to be profiled many times over with the general population at my college (go to ua.thefacebook.com and you'll see some of the morons who try way too hard to fit in by listening to rap). The student body listens to rap because it reflects most people's sole reason that they are even in college: to get "wasted every night and fuck as many bitches as possible" (actual quote from my dorm neighbor).

Even worse are the rednecks who listen to rap. Yes, rap has become such a matter of peer pressure that it is not uncommon to see somebody driving a jacked up Z71 with Flowmasters, Buckmasters, and Ducks Unlimited stickers on the back window while listening to mainstream rap. These guys are particularly the worse, wearing camouflage baseball caps and confederate flag shirts while talking about how phat 50 is.

These people are the main reason why a lot of people here hate rap. It's not because of the music, but rather the hordes of dumbasses who listen to it.[/quote:adfde]

Yeah dude, it's the same down here, almost exactly. Except the redneck thing....

Thing is, they all listen to shit commercial/mainstream rap. That's not real rap, that's materialistic, cocky, bollocks. Real rap has been forced into the underground because of this stupid "hiphop."
There is still a HUGE scene though. Just check out my mp3 playlist, over like 6,000 tracks with the majority of them being GOOD hiphop...Theres a couple 50 cent tracks that I've downloaded for other people etc, but still - There is a seriously strong lack of, Chingys, Three 6 mafias, lil jons, and all that other bullish.

...and someone asked me about SweatShopUnion. Union Dues? Listen to about 2 minutes into that song and it will sum up why that track, IMO, sucks. Dude sounds like a fruitcake.
