Rap disappoints me yet again

[r0k]

My friend knows I don't really like most rap (there is an occasional song that's good), and he thought he'd change my mind by showing me this video.. He was dead wrong

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFmzOtYHC1k

Before saying "yo, dat shit is tru *****", take a closer look. I wasn't able to understand most of the lyrics, (except for "*****" every 3 to 5 seconds), so I looked em up (http://www.lyrics.ro/p/plies/100-years/103042). You notice he doesn't even say why the guy got busted.. It doesn't even go into that aspect, maybe he brutally murdered somebody?



Pussy ass crackers done shattered my ***** dreams
..
In thirty minutes a ***** whole life can change


It wasn't the "crackers" who shattered his dreams, it was the "*****" himself. And his life didn't change in 30 minutes, it changed when he made the decision to do whatever the fuck he did, as its not even mentioned in the video. Nice.

And the best for last,


[How the] Fuck [do] you get thirty years for breakin' in a bitch house?


Hm.. Breaking and Entering, and probably Robbery, with the possibility of having a firearm.. Yeah, that'll easily get you 30.

Sorry for the rant, but when I first saw this video, I thought (and hoped) it was a joke.

PS. I am not racist, I just thought this was pretty stupid.

Edit: A certain word has been filtered by CannCom, and that word is just a derogatory remark towards black people, which I may add, was used in the video itself. :thumbsup:

[Nation_1ne]

Sounds to me like he's being racist, using the word "Cracker". Since the video is all white men in high positions and prosecuting the criminal, I'm assuming he is using it in that manner.

[cannabis campbell]

Lol oh well just dont listen to it anymore if you dont like it simple as that, everyone has different tastes.

[rocktheganj]

yeah dude its racism, him calling white people crackers. im not racist or anything, but it still bugs me being called a cracker. i'm quite different from a baked snack good. i dont make racist remarks, why do i still get called a cracker?

[king of the world]

i would love for you to go through all of that and then still be able to write that post. just a suggestion.

[rocktheganj]

dude the guy who is in the video obviously didnt go through that because he's right there making a video. unless he's like 50 and just looks 30-ish.

[Divestoned]

they can call me cracker.....they can call each other ninja......as long as they all end up dead or in jail, Im ok w/it. :)

Dive:stoned:

[cannabis campbell]

Its chamillionaire, I think he looks so much like 50 cent which isnt a good thing lol.

I hope you mean gangster rappers, not black people, hahaha....

[rocktheganj]

hahahahhhahhaha rap is funny when you're high XD

[rocktheganj]

I hope you mean gangster rappers, not black people, hahaha....

im pretty sure thats what he meant.... otherwise there would be lots more reaction.... actually, i'm surprised theres not more reaction to the original post. lots of people seem to like rap....

[Divestoned]

I hope you mean gangster rappers, not black people, hahaha....

yea im talkin bout the gang bangin, drug dealin, crack smokin,ho slappin,cracker callin, losers.

[Kid Dynamite]

three words for this tune

racist
ignorant
and most importantly DULL. Dull beats dull rhymes shit song.

[bobthenuker]

Yuck, racism. Hey man, it's sad when shit like this sells. No offense to rap, I'm sure there are plenty of good artists, but this is pathetic (IMO). This dude's a racist. Either that, or he's trying to make a bunch of confused teenagers buy into his shit, just so he can make more money, which is turn still makes him a dirt bag. The latter probably being more true. Unfortunately, nearly all black artists can get away with calling white people crackers (even though I think it's is racist). My hat off though to black artists who don't need to include racism, bling, or women dancing in their music.

[toozlah]

That joke-ass rapper almost got arrested in my hometown. He was doing a show at a club downtown, and after he got booed off stage his posse fired gunshots into the crowd! Nobody got hit, his posse ended up spending the night in the joint, end of story; but he sucks!

[Hardcore Newbie]

i'm quite different from a baked snack good. i dont make racist remarks, why do i still get called a cracker?If you think they're comparing you to a baked good, you have no idea what they mean by "cracker".

Cracker is just short for "Whip Cracker", I'm sure you now see why the word is derogatory.

[LIP]

If a white man sang that the other way around it just WOULDNT get recorded - but it's fine for black people to be racist to us.

He says the N word so much it's unreal.

Crap music by a moron.

[ghosty]

yeah that shit sucks, heres an example of some good hip hop

that's not chamillionaire in that video, its plies

[savagepossum]

try roots manuva

[snowblind]

blackalisous are aweseome, sky is fallin is a wikik song too. saw em cpla years ago. they focked. roots manuva are wikid too run come save me is a wikid album.

as for this song. lol. this is what wiggers in nike listen too thinking they live in the ghetto, when really its a nice rural area. its drove and boring. the beats sound like they have been produced by a monkey/child or adolescent monkey.

logical conclusion of the song. dont break the law

if rappers coulde comprehend that and rapped about stayin in school working hard and taking the 'crackers' on at there own gain they night get some where.

twats

peace

i don't but i've been known to be dense... please explain?

i agree with lip tho... i'm really tired of the double standard on this shit... i mean... i share the skin color of the people who hundreds of years ago started enslaving people of his skin color...

BUT i am not that person... nor do i share even a remotely similar mind frame... but since it happened it's ok for black people to be racist to me... but the first instance of a white person showing racism, everyone is on him like flies on shit...

if you wanna get technical tho... then black people should be kissing the ass of indian people like they expect us to kiss theirs, since they did after all... start taking indians as slaves far before whites took them as slaves....

sorry if this offends anyone but i'm tired of maybe slipping up and saying something that can be construed as racist, but a black person can make every racial comment in the book (and even some that aren't) at me and no body bats an eye...

I was just pointing out WHY cracker is insulting.

If someone calls you a cracker without knowing you, they're calling you a racist who's trying to oppress people by the way of the sword, or in this case a whip. It's an EXTREMELY bigoted comment.

Most people think it comes from crackers that you eat, which barely qualifies as an insult. If cracker was derived from that, then it wouldn't be a bigoted comment.

the only part of that was directed at you was explaining whip cracker.... (But i just now got it lol, amazing how things like that just dong on you)

the rest is just my own thoughts on the subject (well, side-subject)

[ganjzilla]

white people did not run out into the fields of africa and enslave blacks......black people in africa .....sold there brothers to the white's..............thats a fact.

[Divestoned]

Ok I think I misread your post, I thought you were asking if i condoned the word for some reason. My bad :)

*dong on you* Freudian slip!

[mfqr]

This isn't rap, it's bullshit. People need to stop making bullshit, and start making some real rap.

[RedLocks]

yeah, not sure what your friend was thinking by thinking this vid would change your mind

[Chronisseur]

...:wtf:
I'm a rap fan. That is not rap, that's some fucking loser, trying to force the coexistence of his voice and a synthesizer.

[TOOL9]

Yes i agree that the video is complete shit. I am also pleased that people on here don't like this kind of bullshit rap. This is the only kind of music people listened to at my old high school

[DebuteMachine23]

Not only is the artist a racist tool, anyone who was in the aid of this video is a tool. Including those lawyers in the video. They probably only were in the video because they were getting paid, not becuse they supported the song or anything. This group should be called Racist Tools who get Arrested.

[pass_the_dubbie]

:(
I thought his name was Piles...dammit

[masbcb]

I like the gold plated sink in the cell...why isn't there talent like biggie and tupac these days? That was a joke...this racism boat is tipping to one side a bit more than the other, I think...
