How is acting "gangsta" considered cool?

[QUOTE="kingyotoX"][QUOTE="HessenKnight"][QUOTE="Godly_Cure"][QUOTE="jimmygrace"]

[QUOTE="Godly_Cure"]It's not considered cool, but it's a style. Like some people who only worship classic rock. That gets old also.Mercenary848

So what? Classic Rock songs actually had some meaning, not people bragging about money, drugs, and violence.

Now you're generalizing. Not all classic rock songs had wonderful meanings: just as not all songs of other genres are about money, drugs, and violence.:|

Yah but at least they don't all go "I f***** my *** then I made her suck my ****." these are the lyrics to baisicly every rap song and it's disgusting and un called for.

God tell me you aren't serious, it is safe to assume you have a very limited experience when it comes to rap and don't know what your talking about.

Ahahaha youre telling me you never heard rap songs with similar lyrics. I don;t know if your joking or plain ignorant. Just becuase they use salng terms we all know what theyre taling about for instance i'm not a rap fan but how about lolipop- little wayne, or cany shop- 50 cent.

When you qouted the other guy you said, said basically every rap song. And you make it seem like rap is the only genre that does this. People are going to put out whatever they want if you don't agree with it don't listen to them. Also most of the people who listen to 50 are kid that don't understand the genre.

saying Yo, homie, and using the N word is considered acting gangsta? Since when?! Stop watching MTV and playing GTA games. Look up the real definition of a gangster and how a gangster carries themselves.

The thing about rap is that the rappers are so hypocritical. You said it yourself... There are some out there who will rap about drugs, violence, and beating women, and then turn around and say, "Peace," as if to make up for the messages they convey. While it is tru that not all rappers are that way, sadly there are too many 'popular' rappers that are.

In my humble opinion, rap isn't even music. Where's the talent? Can they play instruments? Can they actually sing (and I mean carry a melody... not speak in rhythm and time to a beat)? Can I rap, no, but then again not everyone can tie their own shoes. Flame me if you want, but the day rap became cool and propogated the, "gangsta," idea was the day I questioned my faith in humanity.

I don't care what ethnicity someone is. Acting and dressing like a gangsta makes one look like a fool. Pull your pants up, put your hat on straight, walk upright and be an individual instead of aping a vain, violent and unhealthy lifestyle.WildstarGoethe

so because one has their pants low, hat not straight and doesnt walk upright is acting/dressing like a gangster?

Alright I can't change your opinion, but these things have been argued to death. There is a difference between glorifying that kind of stuff and describing it. Some rappers like Ice T try to show gang life for what it really is, but due to human nature some of the people who listen lose sight of that and want to ive that lifestyle. Really it is up to the pople who listen to it to decide, the same can go for whatever genre of music you listen to. And peace doesn't really mean anything just a way of saying have a "good day bye".

I never knew that every person on Earth considered it cool, but whatever floats your boat

I find the whole "gangsta" and hip hop culture to be the #1 most F'ed up thing with todays youth (and some not so young). *disclaimer* Its not the only causal factor *disclaimer*

It just seems to encourage so many negative habits, (violence, ignorance, promiscuity, Bad taste, disrespect for authority, you name it). Its stupidity trancensds the boundries of race, nationality and social class.

Almost everything about it screams of blatant Ignorance that is voluntarly and proudly displayed, by milions of mindless individuals who chose to follow this 'pseudo culture'.

Like many "cultural phenomenons" there are some outstanding embassadors of the movement. but their merit is overwhemled by the many others who are just utterly appaling.

I'll show you how hard Kanye west had to work to get the beat for his song stronger, it takes just s much talent to do this http://youtube.com/watch?v=a-ZhIgJbsuY as it does to so something with live instruments.

I am not speaking for him because I don't know his opinion, but I am not defending the lifestyle just saying it is dumb to assume they do or don't dress a certain way.

Is it fine to wear a Metal Gear Solid shirt, old waggy shorts, and a pair of dirty shoes?

Most people that dress like a "gangsta" as you put it, only dress that. They dont act like thugs. And using slang is fine when used in the right setting.
