NEW YORK, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Hip-hop culture and controversy have always made for familiar bedfellows.

fuckin Jews...
1. To get others girls on board to revere the "thug" look. Making it acceptable for many women to be with and pursue the bottom of society. 2. Executives know that normal guys would not pay any attention to them without pretty Girls in the video. Can you imagine a video with all these guys and no girls? It would look like a bunch of jail birds who just got let out of prison and failed to realize how to dress properly yet
3 To hid the talentless.
rap/hip-hop is a microcosm of America. As America goes, rap goes. A lot of rap is misogynistic, materialistic, and violent. But look at America, look at what this country is obsessed with, all of those things. People in the street are force-fed that just like people elsewhere are force-fed that shit. Everyone wants to be rich, point blank.
If you have a problem with rap, look to America. Rap and poverty are the children of American capitalism.
lets chat xB
That's why I don't like the title "Hip Hop vs. America". Hip Hop is a important part of it.
Nowadays most of these rappers have never lived the life that they rap about, are "posing" for suburban kids and working for Jewish CEO's who know spit about black culture and of good quality Hip Hop.
I want suburban kids to understand that there is way more to black people than Hip Hop. In fact, Hip Hop only represents a small minority of black people.
