You know what really grinds my gears? When the music industry decides that they are going to take a rap song and mix that in with a perfectly good rock song. WHAT ARE THEY THINKING??? Granted Likin Park and Jay-Z was not that bad, but now they are adding rap to Greenday! What is up with that? It does not make the song better! In fact, it makes the song worse. I really don't see why they do this. Have rappers just ran out of things to rap about that they are going to take one of their olders songs and mix it in with a rock song? Have they really lost all of their creativity? Have they finally gotten sick of rapping about the same thing? Thats another thing that grinds my gears. Why most of the rap music that is popular here in the states is all about drugs, sex, women. RAP ABOUT SOMETHING THAT ISN'T DEGRADING TO WOMEN! I'm not saying all rappers do this, I am just talking about the really popular songs. I don't see why they feel the need to refer to women as thier bitch and ho. WOMEN ARE PEOPLE TOO!!
To the first part of my rant here is my advice, DON'T MIX PERFECTLY GOOD ROCK SONGS WITH RAP. IF THE RAPPERS CANNOT THINK OF ANYTHING NEW TO RAP ABOUT LET THEM NOT HAVE ANYTHING NEW TO RAP ABOUT. AND DON'T MESS UP THE ROCK MUSIC.
To the second part of my rant here is my advice, STOP DEGRADING WOMEN AND RAP ABOUT SOMETHING THAT WILL HAVE A POSITIVE INFLUENCE ON PEOPLE. YOU KNOW YOUR MUSIC INFLUENCES PEOPLE AND YET YOU REFER TO WOMEN IN A FOWL MANNER AND ALSO TALK ABOUT SHOOTING UP PEOPLE AND TAKING DRUGS! STOP THAT AND MAYBE THERE WOULD BE MORE PEACE IN THE WORLD INSTEAD OF VIOLENCE.
DISCLAIMER: I realize that other genres of music talk about the same thing as the rap music I am refering to up in my rant and the message/advice applies to them also. I also realize that not all rap music raps about the stuff mentioned in my rant and I am not refering to them.
