The way you act like a person from Australia would know less about what hip-hop is than you do.

What would their country have to do with it?

Switzerland won the America's Cup a few years ago, and they live in a completely landlocked country with no places to go sailing. In today's world, only people with ludicrous nationalist beliefs would assert that a persons location would demonstrate their level of knowledge on a subject.

It isn't that someone from Australia would know more about rap than I do, it's that someone from Australia would think they know more about rap than someone from the ghetto's of Atlanta or New Orleans or Houston. That's what struck my "nerve".

Sorry, I must have misunderstood what you meant when you said;
What strikes a nerve with me is when people from Australia tell me what real "hip-hop" is.
I thought that "me" literally meant you, Dan Feary. Clearly I was wrong, and you were talking about "me" metaphorically, as in "someone from the ghetto's of Atlanta or New Orleans or Houston."

I humbly apologise for making such an error, it was entirely my fault for misunderstanding, and I'll endeavour not to assume I know what you're talking about ever again.

Dude, this is why so many people say that you come off as smarmy and condescending. Read between the lines and understand the context of the conversation. This topic has nothing to do with how bad America is despite how much you want it to. I didn't mention my country once in the post you took issue with, and was simply trying to get across that it's wrong for people from other country's to be judging the rap music being put out by people who come from the places where hip-hop was created: Black ghetto's of The United States of America.

Maybe I took came off as condescending to King Monkey in my post, and I apologize for that, but it's lame that kids in here are saying what's being put out today isn't "real" rap because it doesn't sound like De La Soul, when really, most people in this topic don't know jack shit about rap music or hip-hop culture to begin with. That has nothing to do with being from Australia, because most people speaking heresay in here are from the US.

Isn't it clear to you that that post was intentionally condescending and smarmy? Or do you think I thought you'd take it literally? People think I'm condescending because I make condescending posts, that's a newsflash.

Explain to me again why it gets on your nerves when an Australian comments about what they think hip-hop is?

You say that you were; "simply trying to get across that it's wrong for people from other country's to be judging the rap music being put out by people who come from the places where hip-hop was created: Black ghetto's of The
United States of America. "

Assuming you do not come from a black ghetto, why is your opinion more relevant than that of somebody from Australia, or any other country, who listens to the same music?

My god it feels silly getting drawn into this.

Look. I don't even understand what you were trying to say in your first paragraph.

Second. I have no problems with Australian's commenting on what hip-hop is. I have problems with Australian's commenting on what hip-hop is not in an exclusionary manner.

Third. My opinion is no more relevent, and I never said that it was. The opinion of black's from black ghetto's creating black music of the rap genre, however, is more relevent. For someone from Australia to say that the music being created by people from the place where said music was founded, is not actually part of that particuliar genre, is heresay. Especially when that person is not backing it up with facts, and more or less saying that because it doesn't sound like what New Yorker's were making in the early 1990's, then it is not actually rap.

Sure, well then why didn't you say that to begin with, instead of complaining about Australians telling you what hip-hop was.

Hahaha.... Oh Jeremy.... It's like you miss me flaming you.

I said what I said orginally because it got my point across just as well as what I said most recently. You just can't seem to understand something unless it is entirely convoluted.

Since when have you been a troll?

Word.

Fergie... sucks. I mean, come on, "Fergalicious"... says it all right there. She's a conceited asswipe. Completely full of herself, because she's not even that hot. In fact, I've only had one girlfriend that's not more attractive than she is. (Of course, that's based off of what I like in a woman's physique.) I hate Fergie's snobbish attitude. That's exactly what most mainstream hiphop is like now days.

But seriously... I must know, why is it that people don't like MCR and Fallout Boys? Do you not like their voices, their playing, their looks, or their lyrics? I personally only listen to them because of the playing, which is good enough for me. Couldn't care less what their singing about, I like what they play. Not to mention it's always good to have in case you're with friends or something and they don't exactly listen to the music you have. I like to compromise :)

And Wolfpac, you're till not making any sense. That didn't correspond with anything I ever said. My initial message was, that hiphop on the radio, has no taste, or message, and mostly speaks about things that are not actually important, such as money/drugs/sex. That's a fact. Whether MCR is disliked or liked, doesn't matter. They can play instruments, something none of those rappers can do. And they don't sing about money/drugs/sex. They mainly sing about teen drama, at least that's what I've gathered from how much I've payed attention. Which isn't COMPLETELY useless. Pretty dumb, but not entirely useless.

I don't know, 99% of people on here, and in real life seem to agree with me. Mainstream hiphop fuckin' sucks.

It goes both ways. :wink:

It's called music. Some people enjoy "stupid" rap because of the same reason you like MCR and Fallout Boy. You can never please everyone. Just don't worry about it if some dumbass makes a song about how hot he is or how big is cock is.

Switch Kicker wrote:My god. I've completely given up on any kind of hiphop on the radio. I just heard the most STUPID god damn "song" (If you can even call it that.) on the radio. I don't remember who it was, and I don't remember the name of the song, because I frankly just don't care enough to waste the memory space in my fantastical brain.

But the one part of the song, that just won't stop playing in my head, is what made me snap, turn off my radio and rip off the power button, and a tunning dial... Here it is. "I'm hot cause I'm fly, you ain't, cause you not." How... fuckin-dumb is THAT!!! What kind of shitty god damn writting is that? First off, you're NOT hot by any means, you're just loaded. Secondly, no matter how much I hate the word "fly", it still means that god damn same thing as "hot". And thirdly. Ain't, is not a fucking word, I know people say that alot. But the only genre of music the word "ain't" works in, is country. Because their stupid voices match with the stupid word. And ain't, though it's not a word, means the same fuckin' thing, AS NOT!!! Fuckin' IDIOT.

When I heard that chorus line... I just... became really stupid for a full 10 minutes and forgot how to speak in a comprehensible language, and I couldn't count out the money for the caramel-coffee drink I had just ordered in the StarBucks drivethrough, because I forgot how to count. It was like driving into Iowa... Your cross the border, and you forget how to drive and go into a ditch, or on-coming traffic, and you FEEL the knowledge just, flee from your brain.

Anyone else just despise all these new wannabe rappers? I also really hate that "Money in the Bank" song... It's like, wow, congrats, you have money, who cares? You have no talent, so... what are you doing? It's so pointless. It's not even good music to dance to if you ever go to a really shitty place to dance...

Bah, it just pisses me off...
