Rap Is Crap

Today, [1] Grammy-winning rapper T.I. (Total Imbecile? Thug Idiot?) was sentenced to 18 months behind bars for illegally owning machine guns and silencers. In the aftermath of his arrest, prosecutors informed T.I. that he could serve two decades in prison; he quickly agreed to 1000 hours of community service, touring around the U.S. talking to teens about the problems with drugs and gangs. MTV made a show about him called [2] T.I.s Road to Redemption. This from a guy who dealt drugs as a teen and got busted for coke in 1998.
Heres the thing: no matter how many hours of community service T.I. does, it will never make up for the crap he puts into the minds of his listeners. His biggest hit is Whatever You Like. Heres a sample lyric Whatever You Like: Late night sex so wet youre so tight Let me put this big boy in yo life / The thang get so wet, it hit so right.

the piece is a multi purpose exercise.
It Proves that if I can do it, any body can and there is no talent required.
It is intended to give as well as I get. Rappers are scum of the earth and needed to be called out.
Million $$ Bll trumps 50 cents
I believe we’re both right. I do know what you mean about Bluegrass, but there were various ways that music progressed. It’s not so linear. It branches out in numerous directions. And an argument can be made that the gospel and blues led to rockabilly and country. It’s probably not exactly like that but the influence of black music is definitely a forebearer of country. Again, i know that Bluegrass contributed too. More from North to South.
Yep it was him and i wish him loads of success. Hopefully it’s the start of a trend of black musicians crossing over into country. Because i think that country music brings people closer together, lets the listener feel a more range of emotions, and instills patriotism and individual responsibility much more than the current pop music does.
