The most ignorant rap song ever.

Outside of 21st century hip-hop which is all about rims, gold teeth, and other materialistic BS

It's called "Lost in tha System", a rap done by Ice Cube's side project, "Tha Lench Mob". They made 2 records of race baiting material, but this one stood out as being seriously ignorant.

The story goes is that the rapper is driving, gets pulled over and arrested because he had 2 outstanding warrants for something. While in the jail, he beats down a guy who asks where he's from. He then stabs a white guy to death because he wanted to use the phone and because "he had the wrong skin color".

Anyway, he gets sent up and blames "whitey" for everything - his warrants, his belligerent attitude, his own racism.... everything.

Nice to know that when everything is your fault that it really isn't

Thats because rap is a bad thing

I like Gangsta Rap, but this song as well as the album, was shallow racebaiting.

There's plenty of material on the streets without descending into the "get whitey" crap.

I'm black, BTW.

No wonder this has no airplay or, presumably, no following whatsoever.

First off you can't just stereotype an entire music genre with a sentence so detailed. Some songs are to show the cruel nature of the world, some messed up things that happen everyday, this might just be a song about that. In my opinion, rap and hip-hop are the most misunderstood genres of music.Sp3aRm1nT

I didn't stereotype the genre. I said this song was the most ignorant rap song I've ever heard.

The only thing I stereotyped was 21st Century hip-hop, which in my estimation, is materialistic crap that is killing the genre.

Rpa is nothing but guns drugs exploitng woman killing murder homicide suicide crpa rpa +crap stupid ignorant bad influence drugs dealling newhenpal

It's rap, and anything goes. >_>SolidSnake35

K-Os is rap and he is pretty good , not to mention intelligent but most people don't like him b/c he doesn't have grillz and 10 hoes near him.

yea forget about all the good things rappers say and focus on the bad songs

"**** being good because the bad spreads faster" word.

Semantics are a tool of the pretentious. :roll:

And do you get upset when people classify classic rock, 60s rock, or 80s rock? Get off your high horse of sensitivity.

ice cube isnt racist...

its just rap man, lol XD but i donno, im teh mexican

Joke topic, rap isn't music, it's loud and annoying noise.SilentSoprano

I agree.

Possibly.......

Or maybe the people who made that song realized that most of the people who listen to their kind of music are street thugs who aren't so smart and they just made up some random bs about white people so those thugs who buys the CD will have something they can relate to. Just a thought.

Well it isn't that ignorant. I'm sure in many cases they aren't treated fairly by the police, oh and if you didn't get the memo in jail your race is like your uniform.X360PS3AMD05

Are you going to try to justify the Holocaust next week?

Hence the sub-genre is GANGSTA rap.Aljosa23

You are aware that Italian gansters came before black gangsters, right?

Actually, Ice Cube didn't lay down the rhyme in that one. It was one of his hanger-ons.

O Rly?

Ohhhh! And I forgot another part of the song.

He mentions in the song that he almost got killed in prison by a "crazy devil with eyes full of hate" because he was about to get released. Didn't he just kill a white guy earlier in the song because he hated his skin color?

Wrong... dead wrong. The people who buy that are the same people who got Soulja Boy's Album because theydon't want tofeel excluded from the "black experience".

Honestly, all of you people who say rap is crap, I got a LONG list of rap artists you need to listen to before you make such a provocative claim. Here's a few of them:

Killah Priest

GZA

Nas

Eric B. and Rakim

Big Pun

Method Man

Redman

Ghostface Killah

Scarface

Cypress Hill

Bone Thugs N Harmony

AZ

Raekwon

Outkast

Common

A Tribe Called Quest

NWA

And while some of them may talk about violence, that's likely because its a large part of the life they lead. Deal with it.

I find it funny that you say this... and yet 70% of rap sales are consumed by white suburbanites. Hmmmm.

TalesofRaGnArOk

Maybe to people like you. To others its an expression that keeps what their talking about from happening to you. If anything, you should be happy theirs rap/gangsta-rap.

Joke topic, rap isn't music, it's loud and annoying noise.SilentSoprano

Much like the voices of American politics, which are dominately white male. See I can be ignorant to, only when I say it, its not far from the truth.

You might want to correctly construct a paragraph before you start talking about a persons intellect:( Just a thought.

Whats the point? Their way of thinking is one of the sole reasons gangsta rap exists. In actuality, their biased towards it is contributing to it.

Jesus christ is GS screwing up...

anyways, replying to the guy who quoted me.

I realize that trying to change the opinion of people is largely fruitless, but at least they should know that there is a hell of a lot of rap and rappers who don't limit their songs to bling and hoes...

And besides, mainstreamrap isn't just riding off of the controversy. There are some who actually enjoy it, not so much for its lyrical value but for its production/beat. You'd be surprised how many don't listen to the lyrics...

i love that song. ill fight you to the death to protect its respectability. if you don't like it, tell it to the artist, dont whine to gamespot people who cant do anything to you. stop being a coward and be a man.ecamped1

Look who's talking. You do realize that the "create a throwaway account so I can insult another person" isn't exactly original...

Someone chomping at the bit for an arugement or debate should make what they write as serious as their conviction to their stand. You can have an excellent point, but if you put it out there like a kindergartener, no one will take you seriously or even completely listen to what you have to say. It's like being served Filet Mignon in a used bedpan. It might be delicious, but you can't get past the crap.
