Why do SOME Rock fans assume that Hip Hop is only about Money Girls Guns?!


Question: I just posted a question about Rap and hip hop and a lot of haters mainly Rock fanatics gave me a lot of hate.

that RHH is just about money girls guns but it isn't some rap about life and struggles and positive things.
It angers me to read this it's like me jumping to the conclusion that all rock music is yelling and devil worshipping but it isn't because i know that it all isn't the same, because i'm not dumb

comments?

Well lots of rap fans assume all rock is about is cutting wrists and suicide and that we all wear tight jeans and eyeliner. It's all stereotype.

Honestly rock and rap fans are in the same boat here, all the mainstream rap is about the things you mentioned in your question and all the mainstream rock is about the things I just mentioned. All the deep songs are hidden underground.

Well put, I applaud your tolerant attitude.

because they dont know anything and likes to judge ppl and culture just by the way it looks..

hmm i love sceamo much and rock, and i listen to icp and twiztid, and techn9ne. Your right rap does have meaning behind the lyrics a lot of songs do. But NOT ALL of them do that the same is shown in rock much and rap and any other genre. I know a lot of good rappers that are telling there story I may not listen to them but I repect them for them wanting to be listened to and have their words spoken to ones who can listen.
wow that was deep =D

To answer your main question, we don't think that. We think that about most rap, not hiphop.

what else is there??? oh yeah,drugs.

Honestly, I don't like rap because of the persona rappers seem to portray. They only seem to care about themselves and their "homies" or their "hood" and just don't seem intelligent. They wear their pants at their ankles (which originated in jails--I'll describe it with 2 words: easy access) and talk with HORRIBLE grammar.

Also, all rap to me sounds the same. It's mainly just the same beat repeated over and over, while rock is all about originality. Pop in a rap album and you'll see what I mean.

Not to mention, most rap lyrics are incredibly degrading to women, and even though I'm a guy, it offends me to know some people really think the way rappers rap about...

Most mainstream hip hop songs that are on MTV or BET are all about drugs, girls, money, guns.
Hip Hop with meaningingful lyrics is mostly underground.

When I listen to the rap and hip-hop my son plays, you're right, it's not about just money and women and guns. It's about also about dealing drugs and violence and impressive shiny cars.

But seriously, I don't assume it's all like that and I don't think most folks do. I don't understand why so much is, or why people find that interesting.

hate is for pedophiles and bin laden...

most stuff nowadays does seem to be...lacking...

anytime your rhyming "drink" with "bank"...your kung-fu is WEAK!

i still love the old skool stuff...p.e., nwa, ive got some...old old master p...ice t...whoa! de la soul!!!...so i dont hate rap...

...and i bet ya'll may even be a nice break from some of the miley/jonas/mcr younguns that are often here...

you can't spell crap without rap.

Because they've only heard the mainstream rap/hip hop. I am personally not a huge fan of hip hop, but I won't call it all bad. Sure, they mainstream stuff is terrible, but they're really is some good hip hop out there. I listen to Run DMC, 2Pac, Folk and Stress and Talib Kweli.

its because a lot of the recent mainstream rap is about that stuff like 50 cent and Flo Rider. and rap fans think that rock is about its about wrist cutting because they think emo music is rock and rock isn't mainstream at the moment so they don't hear any. the only rapper i respect is 2pac as of last week.

another problem is propaganda created by the media and concerned (overprotective) parents.

Hello Makaveli!


Of course its not all money , girls and guns. there is that, but there are really meaningful lyrics too. It just is a matter of opening your eyes a looking. There is also plenty of satanic stuff and yelling in Rock. There is more to any book than its cover.

A lot of it does have to do with stereotyping, but aslo Most if not all hip hop songs that I've heard or heard about are exactly about that. Girls, money, or gangs or how they got shot. Just like as you being a hip hop fan you probably dont know rock songs that aren't about drugs, or w/e the stereotype for rock is.

Its all pretty much dependant on what kind of music people like and dont. Because the music they dont like they arent going to know anything about, hence the stereotyping and why rock fans give you crap for listening to music that they believe is only about girls guns and money

I listen to EVERYTHING......... I MEAN EVERYTHING

Some people can only relate to one genre or personality type.


People like you and me are very diverse and outside of the box.....

Don't strain yourself trying to make sense out of ignorance........

They obviously don't listen to enough music, to be taking seriously...........

I never assume that. I listen to all types of Rock. I HATE it when other people go over there and answer questions with crap. Don't listen to them, ignore them. Their probably 12. I think everyone should respect all genres, no matter what.
I actually do like Rap. I don't like Hip-Hop that much though, I'm just not into Hip-Hop. I'm more into Rap. Remember that I listen to Rock the most I'm not stupid and I'm not immature and make up crap.
I also hate it when people say, "You can't spell crap without Rap" or, "Music is like candy you throw away the rappers", and the dumbest one, "Rap = Retards Attempting, Poetry". Seriously, grow up and respect other peoples preferences.

Why do you care what people says about the lyrics? I think you should care about the music, personally rap nowadays sucks its just the same beat over and over, it tires me out really soon. Honestly I′ve never liked rap but I prefer listening to old school hip hop than new school hip hop, anyways the same happens with rock, today′s music sucks so I prefer listening to old stuff, classic rock, old school punk, heavy metal. I dont care about lyrics, I care about the music. Thats what I think.

That's just closed minded, stereotypical people who are just trying to get a rise out of ya.
Dont let them 'hater trolls' get to you so much Makaveli ;)
LOL :) you know what they say about one bad apple.......

Because rock fans generally hear only what is on the radio or is played on MTV, and sad to say, for the most part, the songs that get the airplay are about those things. Obviously a rock fan who doesn't get it will not spend money on a CD they won't listen to, so they will (probably) not hear the songs that Aren't about those things.

I hope I make sense.

i looked at the question you posted. i think you're blowing this way out of proportion. yeah a few people posted stupid comments, but nothing to warrant this question. people hate hip-hop, people hate rock. the marjority of these people base this ignorance off of the mainstream. you cant change their minds...they have to figure it out on their own. if they dont? their loss.

The same reason some rap fans assume all rock music is about wanting to kill yourself. Ignorance.

humm really ?
