lol little jon
please don't knock rap when you know practically 0%
and you're not even a fucking expert of little jon so don't pretend as if being exposed to it means anything
I wonder what TH89 would do if he was the principle of that school.
"You are all permanently expelled"

I didn't know I had to be an expert on someone in order to know wether or not I like the sound of the music they make. (spoilers: I don't)
It's nothing against the culture, I've actually met very few african-american individuals who have met the stereotypes most people condemn them to. I just don't like the way rap or hip-hop sounds.

Little Jon had good rap?
I must see this.
[QUOTE=Contag;31536280]And if you answered both of them, do you win cookies?[/QUOTE]
To assume any of them are racist makes you racist, so you win racist cookies.
[QUOTE=bluesky;31530448]Seriously this, if you would actually look into their lyrics (not gucci or waka, but like tupac, ESPECIALLY ICECUBE, and dre) they all rap about trying to overcome the living hell that is the ghetto, I'm white as fuck, I grew up in the south side of chicago, I'm not saying I'm hood yo, but I've seen it all from a 3rd person view.
I think it's safe to say none of you know exactly the struggles they go through, and you know what, I'm not even going to try pounding it into your thick skulls about why black people are put in situations like that, section 8 is fucked up.
Everytime I hear people on facepunch hate on rap, and the black culture I just laugh, it just shows how ignorant some of you are down to the core, and this is exactly what tupac is talking about in this song.
Give it a listen before you stereotype rap. and I mean really listen, to what he's saying, try to understand the similes and metaphores......

How is thinking people are racist, racist?
(making that decision based on their race is racist, yes, but making the decision based on them being human is not)

no you don't have to be an expert but it's nice to know what the fuck you are even talking about when you are saying shit on a forum.
if your idea of exposure to hip-hop is little jonathon being blasted at little ceasers then i really have to start questioning exactly how the fuck you can come to a conclusion.

2Pac is amazing.
[QUOTE=SwissArmyKnife;31533592]Eminem literally raps about how he's a fucking phoenix that rises from his own self-inflicted oppression every album he releases. Seriously, it's "I've got problems, but I've overcome."
When you've released four consecutive albums about how you beat drug addiction that somehow relapses in between every album maybe you're not so good at kicking the addiction after all. For the most part popular and gangsta rap is a pretty shallow and stupid form of music. Name pretty much any human fault and it's expressed in a positive way in pop/gangsta rap, greed, objectification of women and sex in general, materialism for materialism's sake.
Rap can definitely be used as an art form, Andre 3000's rhythm is fucking hypnotizing. But there's a lot of it that's complete shit.[/QUOTE]
Haha, thats funny because you can classify metal and rock as exactly that.
Also I've never heard a rap about raping someone (before odd future).

[QUOTE=Zero-Point;31536237]Never heard much of Tupac, Eminem's voice annoys me and never heard of Common. Alls I know is most of the crap I'm exposed to is the likes of Little Jon and various other classy gentlemen explaining to me that "y'all niggas cain't fuck wit mah niggas".
It also rather annoys me when people pull up next to me at stop-lights utilizing 1.21 giga-watt sound systems that, with THEIR window down, are capable of rattling every window within .5 miles of them. But hey, shouldn't worry about that, the cop right behind them will bust them for violating noise ordinance, right? ...right?
Though I personally don't care for that shit where they mumble at the top of their lungs either, shit used to piss me off working at Little Caesar's when they'd play that shit. I'd tell them "You can't even understand a god-damn thing he's saying!" and when asked to translate for me, they'd listen for a while and say "...Yeah, I can't understand what he's saying. :downs:"
If we had such a day I'd dress up in a suit/fedora get-up. Y'know, the classy kind of gangster.
All in all I'm reminded of the riddle that states:
There's a white guy and a black guy on a park bench. Which one's the racist?
...If you answered either of them, the racist is you.[/QUOTE]
If you think Lil Jon/Lil Wayne/Gucci/Wakka is the rap industry you are an idiot.
Tupac is the person who made (real) rap what it is today, instead of that weird 90s hip hop shit. Common raps about doing good stuff and not being ghetto.
Good rappers don't mumble, because they are literate and able to make songs, or at least rap other peoples songs well.
Good rappers: Whiz Khalifa, Kid Cudi, Tupac, Biggie, Kayne (some songs, but he is a douche).
Most guys on here would like Chris Webby. He has an entire album dedicated to making references to cartoons from the 90s/nerdy stuff.
Oh also "you know, the classy kind of gangster" I didn't know murdering people with ice picks and baseball bats was classy. Here is some of the stuff your classy gangsters did.

ahem public enemy was real rap before tupac and whiz khalifa sucks
and common raps about being ghetto all the tim
Yea but public enemy was a group not a person.
Also wu tang clan.
Not to mention Immortal Technique, your friendly neighborhood conspiracy theorist rapper.
They could have just called it "Eminem Day" or "Limp Bizkit Day".

You should probably learn to read better, when I said "mumble at the top of their lungs" I was referencing death metal, which someone mentioned in the post I quoted. (I can't STAND that shit)

I never said they were the rap industry, I said they were mostly what I was exposed to, ie mainstream, therefore popular.

Look at that, that's world-class crime right there. Gentlemen amongst gentlemen.
By class I meant they dressed like people and not clowns.
Once again only the stupid rappers dress like that.
Real rappers dress like normal people.
For example Whiz just wears T-shirts and camo shorts, because it matches everything.

"Cracka", referring to "cracker", short for "whip-cracker", is a derogatory term for white people. Used primarily, if not exclusively, by black people, and is a reference to the days of slavery.
I wouldn't mind if Detroit had a Cracker Day with free samples of crackers all over the local grocery stores.

detroit isn't just black people, why the fuck would an entire city have a cracker day? and what would you do during cracker day? act white?
his comment didn't even make one slight bit of sense, just like "wigger day".
this is the reason why black insecurity among whites still exists. black people are afraid that one day their white friends will show up with gold teeth and chains screaming "i"M JUST LIKE YOU NIGGA!"

At my school we already have a similar thing, it's called "nerd day"
[QUOTE=Contag;31532513]What? The fuck?
How many people hear something about racism and then go "oh hey, racism, I'm going to go be [B]racist, fuck yeah[/B]"
that's like saying hearing about atrocities being committed in sudan makes more attrocities occur.
wow I agree, these fucking black people, how [B]dare[/B] they be discriminated against. what fucking scumbags, how dare they be black. (!)[/QUOTE]I'm going to reply to just you because, well, you've probably summed up what a lot of people were thinking when they read that. Basically, from my white, male perspective, it gets really tiring to hear [i]every single possible thing[/i] get turned into a race issue by angry minorities. Why are they angry? Frankly, I think it's the same reason why a good number of survivalists are angry people. I'm wondering if they [i]want[/i] what they claim to hate/fear/despise/wtfever to [i]actually happen[/i], in this case an extravaganza dedicated to lynchings and Jim Crow laws. Take, for example, my friend Chris, who is one of those Black Panther types. (which is funny, the dude is in no way hardcore, unlike true Black Panthers) He wanted to go fishing with me and a few of my other friends (one of whom is biracial, he knew this) and I said no. He instantly fires back with "IS IT BECAUSE I'M BLACK?" I sigh, set down my can of Mt. Dew and reply, "No, Chris, it's because you're a fucking asshole who complains about white prejudice, in rural Minnesota of all places where 99% of white people out here accept your skin color but not your attitude. We just want to shoot the shit, not discuss the finer points of racial politics and how you think it would be cool to hunt white slave owners." Cue black rage that I ignored.
It's not because of their skin color, their racial culture, or any of that. It's their insistence on making sure that EVERYONE KNOWS that racism exists. We don't fucking care anymore. I've become desensitized to racial issues because I've dealt with so many Chris types in my life, I'm tired of feeling even the slightest tinge of white guilt when I have nothing to be guilty for! Not only that, but I'm tired of worrying I'll inadvertently offend somebody like Chris and they'll fly into a rage. Yes, I recognize that there's extremely racist people, yes I recognize that in my country's past, there's been a lot of bad shit that went down on minorities. There's no excuse for any of that, but thankfully we've made great progress in moving past that. [i]However,[/i] the use of the almighty race card is despicable and wrong. You don't realize how many times I've had the race card played against me and I countered with the good, ol' "no, it's because you're a fucking moron" card. I will be the first person to admit I am, in fact, a bigot. I absolutely detest Somalians, but that doesn't mean I won't treat them like everyone else. If I see a Somalian broke down on the side of the road, I'll help. I'll hold doors open, say hello, try to help when I can because despite my self-admitted bigotry, I'm a genuinely good person.

no i have a penis thank you
your views are just awful and i find it weird that you make the white male perspective when there are plenty of white males that don't agree, me being one.
so uh, it's not a white male's perspective, it's a young cracka-ass-cracka named jumpinjackflash's perspective so fix it.
As much as I like the idea itself (I hate 'gangsta' bullshit-PULL UP YOUR PANTS AND USE YOUR GOD DAMN BRAIN CELLS), calling it 'Wigga Day' is an unbelieveably bad plan. It's like they're asking for a butthurt lawsuit. If they had come up with a non-racial name (*cough*GangsterDay*cough*) there wouldn't be a problem here.
