Rock vs rap - Ye ole debate

[tupac2westsider]

Well as i said, its just a trend right now. but later it will all be gone, and we are going to be old guys dressed all G'ed out while our children will be lisening to Futuristic music.

Then Old Selvin will make a topic "Rock Vs. Futuristic Music, Ye old debate".

I think most of you are judging due to ignorence. All that youve seen of rap is what you see in Main Stream. When rock was getting off people were all against Rock.

It all starts off in the 50's after the war and sub-burbs were just getting started in the east and were going strong to the west. Teenagers that were living in the sub-burbs felt bored after moving out of the city having nothing to do. Well there was this new craze sweeping the nation throw the radio named "Rock'N'Roll" and a new artist has pop his ugly face, "Elvis the Pelvis". Parents automaticly thought it was evil because of the way he moved his hips, looked, and signed. Even tho this started the wave of new music all over the nations for years to come.

The reason of this little leason is.............

There will aways be haters to music, rock or rap. Its nothing new that parents or that one bitch "tippy gore" will be against the new genaration of youth that comes out. Rap's genaration is right now, rocks was about 20 years ago.

If you understand where rap came from and what it actually means to the "Black community" you would understand more what Rap actually is. 100 years of diversity, racisum, political activists and slavery has made rap what it is today(not what you see on TV). Rap is a combination of Gospel, Blues, and poetry.

You guys see WAY TO MUCH TV!!!!!!!!!!! When i hear about Rock stars and there crazy stories of "Money, Groupies, Drugs, Backstage parties and lots of sex" thats all people see of rock to. Rap isnt the only ones that have a bad rep, rock also is in the problem but its just not as main stream no more.
