Who else hates R & B?
Is it just me or are so called R & B "artists" actually no talent Gangster wanna bes who don't have the ability to either write their own songs, play an instrument or hold a note?
I am quite amused when I see them on Rage and Video Hits trying to impress with incredulous stats on how many people they have killed, how tough they are, how badly they treat women (Ho's, bitches etc...), how all this violence, disgusting social attitudes and total lack of singing ability makes them irresistible to said Ho's and Bitches and how even though they always seem to be pumping out this crap from the back seat of a Bentley, they are still the same person they always were on the block.
What doesn't really amuse me however is seeing gangs of teenagers walking around on Friday and Saturday nights trying to be like their lame Gangsta heroes. Treating women in real life with the disrespect shown in every second Top 40 song currently played and putting others down so that they may feel bigger themselves.
When this "Gangster Rap" style of music first emerged, some of it actually was a musical interpretation of the lives in which a lot of these people are trapped in. Violence and poverty begets violence and poverty and so it sadly goes on.
It is to their credit that a few of these "artists" have broken this cycle. Such a shame that it was broken by the glorification of the worst parts of their lives and not a celebration of the best.
Wow maybe I am old?
