Rap Words and the People who Follow them




Most people that re concerned with ''Rap''Lyrics . Do not Create them for the most part

and hold Rap accountable for being their Kid's perverted X Rated, Cussing Baby sitter.Heaping a Great Responsibility,and the task of Raising their kid's to a large extent on Rap, and the ''Culture of Hip Hop.


Most people who are even a teenie bit Socially and Politically aware, know The American System was not Created for Black People, and least concerned with Black Art. No not the Great African Art in the Museum thousand of Year's old..I mean ''Urban'' Art, in all it's Variations. Racism, Covert, overt and all the other Bitter Flavas, are at an all time High. It's ''So''Comfortable that when It slips,slides and Slithers out of the Mouth of the user...Their Ultimately Shocked!


The ‘’Amerikkkan Way is The Dollar Way. And To Try and Brainwash Distract and Dominate any race of people, it Can for Personal Gain. Since People of Color Black and Hispanic People who ‘’are Citizens’’ in Particular in the Rap game have become Successful, Money is ’’Power’’ They have become a Huge Threat to the status Quo, The Economy.

And the Influence on the Caucasian Kids in a ‘’Undesirable way‘’. So Combining those two elements Rap is to be Dismantled via it’s’’ poetic License.’’ As it’s ’’Legit’’ no other way to attack it. First of all the People who so called want to Curb Rap of it’s ‘’Cuss’’ words don’t Listen to it nor do they create it. Before It ‘’Popular’’ follower stance that is Writers have had Poetic License since the beginning of Time.

It reminds me of the same a similar story of the Drug Game. As long as The Ghettos had it and it was black and brown kids dieing in the street and being thrown in Prison, It was ‘’Ok’’ but when Politicians kid’s and white kids started Puking from Heroin,OD’ing and robbing their Homes for a Hit of Crack. there was ‘’a Drug Problem’’. Caucasians have Created the most Hateful Horrific atrocity’s towards people of Color and fashioned names that have Put a tag of Inferiority on Black Generations since they were brought here as Slaves.And Now there concerned with ‘’Cuss’’ words? A Distraction and a joke. Black Folks must remain True to their ‘’Self’’ expression. As well as ’’Our Identity. That is all we have that is truly ‘’our own’’. We don’t have time to worry about what ‘’others think’’ because the ‘’Others ‘’are not the ones that help us ‘’Get ahead’’ we help ourselves. It’s not Just a Color piece either.

The Russell Simmons’’ Types’’ are paid Businessmen. Capitalists, with their eyes on Politics As well,… most of them.When you see them on the street Like Mr. .Simmons they cower and hold their hand over their face, Like I was going to go running and screaming at him like a Teen smitten with a Rock Group. I looked him in the eye as I passed him on Lafayette St . in Greenwich Village, Like Man you don’t put food on my table you aint nothing to me.

And One must realize that ‘’Gangsta’’Rap is a Billion Dollar Bizz and The ‘’Keepers of the Youth’’ who ever that are.. or think they are. Should ask themselves a question Would you rather your kid hear about the street or go live in the street, or find out by going to Prison.?

If I had someone street Savvy to Pull my coat It would have made a Hell of a Difference and Possibly save me a 6 year sent. In Prison. And Kids are going to hear Cuss words in the Home, In School, at a Basketball game, when in the Car with Grandma, and someone get’s’’ Road rage.’’ Who knows… But the distraction of the way a writer sees the world and expresses it won’t make a difference. Be side’s when it comes to Rap Caucasians’’ Copy’’ us the clothes, the talk(and badly I might add) the Life style. It’s a take thing not a give thing when It comes to the Craft. When slim Shady Rapped he had skills lived the genre and Loved it. And ’’Copied no one’’ Like 2Poc Shakur said He (Poc)Just ’’Diagnosed’’ what he saw.

So when The street is less Violent, cop’s stop killing Black folks, Racism has taken a dirt nap, The same Money maker’s who tried to stop rap in It’s infancy stops making a HUGE Profit from Billion’s they sunk in Product’s that support Hip-Hop Culture, Racism is Gone, and Drug’s are not being sold at the school’s …..Then I’ll stop Cussing.
