First, let me say that Scandal is my all-time favorite band. I admire them for their work, and respect to their fans. It's a huge honor and thrill to their fans that they still do meet & greets.
That's the reason I'm putting this here. I thought the band's "SCANDAL IN THE HOUSE" was great, but I hope it's the last rap they ever do.
Rap began on the streets, and as soon as it got noticed,it did a swan-dive straight into the sewer! It was inundated with some of the most disgusting thoughts ever put into words. Every jerk with a microphone had to outdo the other guy. The "thug life" became the only focus, because it out-sold everything else.
Gang activity. Extreme violence to cops, white people, WOMEN (you know, their hoe's?), complete strangers, pretty much anyone who wasn't a "homey". Drug dealing and usage, selling poison to children. Demanding respect, yet spewing hatred and amoral filth.
Every action that served to destroy the black communities and families. That continues to send MANY thousands of young black females and males to prison every year. And the rapper "heroes" made MILLIONS of dollars promoting the evil forces running wild in their own cities!
Then, with the black-on-black violence reaching epic proportions, when the mothers' tears became rivers, they had the unmitigated gall to try the "Stop the violence" crap.
Like spitting on a forest fire they threw gasoline on in the first place!
I was always taught that music is the universal language. That it promotes harmony and shows beauty to all. That is why you will never hear me call hip-hop MUSIC! Oh, and the fact that MUSIC has a MELODY and is usually accompanied by instruments.
That's my opinion, given by someone watching one element of the destruction of his own country from within.
