Blacks had an integral part in shaping American art, especially music.
Those of us born before 1990 realize that there was black music before
rap.

I believe I speak for the whole group when I say........what the fuck
are you talking about?
Fuck, this shitty webtv won't let me see a lot of the posts in here.
Anyway, chances are that the music you listen to probably has been
influenced or created by blacks. Blacks have helped make bounds in
medicine and biology, their also responsible for some of the most
beautiful cultures on Earth. To assume that any race is superior to
another is very foolish and bigoted. All races, in some way shape or
form, have contributed to the advancement of the human race.
I'm a male.
<<Try seeing beyond your seventeen year old world.>>
Your one year off(16), good try though.
<<Do a little homework, dude. Check out the stats.>>
Did it, done it, got the T-shirt. Why is it so hard for you to accept
that the black race has contributed to the human race as a whole? I've
seen your posts before, you come off as a bit bigoted. Please attempt to
get off your superiority complex.
<<The main thing that race contributes to the world is excrement.>>
See my above response, have you ever even looked into black history? I
seriously doubt it. It's okay to be proud of your race(I assume your
white, please correct me if I'm wrong), infact, it's a great thing to be
proud of who you are, but there's no need to bash and spit in the face
of the accomplishments of another race just because you want to feel
superior.

You must have missed the days in school where they talked about the
holocaust, Pol Pot, the Crusades, and the Spanish Inquisition, huh?
I advise you to do a little homework yourself. Before white
colinization, and severe draughts, Africa was just as advanced as
places like Europe and the middle east, similarly, racism was not an
issue at that point. Just like Nationalism, racial pride and it's
flipside racism, are fairly new concepts. The problem with blacks in
America is that complacency fueled by black anger and white guilt
permiates their communities. You'd be amazed how human psychology
works.
There are places beyond your neighborhood, you know. In places like
Portugal and Brazil, blacks and whites have been able to integrate
extremely well.

  <<You'll never see me working against the Whites,Hispanics or
Asians. That's because those races do not contain such a large

Whites contribute to a large part of domestic violence and child

earth"? Hell no.

Don't need'em, they should be rather common knowledge by now. I really

list gets ever-longer as we speak.>>
Christ man, ALL THE RACES HAVE DONE MEAN AND NASTY THINGS!! And the list
will continue to grow until the end of humanity. White Power Rangers
were responsible for picking out innocent minority victims and "nigger
lovers" and murdering them in cold blood. I'm pretty sure you've heard
of Hitler, did he look black to you? How about all the white serial
killers? Crusades(or the "You don't believe in my god so I'm going to
kill your foreign ass" war)? Now, just because those responsible for the
vicious acts were not black, does that make them any less terrible? Fuck
no.
  <<I know that there are many decent black folk. In fact, I've
known quite a few in my time. Some I'd even call friend.>>
I bet they would be thrilled to find out you called their race the
"scourge of the earth".
<<But the percentages speak for themselves. Until their numbers come
more in-line with the others, their "accomplishments" will continue to
be over-shadowed by the misdeeds of their brethren. And I speak for

Don't feed me that bullshit, you beginning to act like every other race
are angels and the black race are just running amok destroying
everything in sight. What's with the quotations around
"accomplishments"? Is an accomplishment any less of an accomplish just
because the person that did it was black? Bullshit.
  <<But..... I'm afraid it's in the blood.

Please, I know who I am, and I'm damn proud of it, wouldn't change me

You mean an open-minded guy who hangs out with many different types of

Well, in case you missed that part of your history class, whites have
killed more people than ANY other race of people; kinda ironic when
you consider that whites, on a global scale, are one of the smallest
racial minorities.

He does make valid statistical points about the number of crimes that
are committed by blacks and whites; c'mon Melvin, the amount of people
killed by white serial killers as opposed to black thugs is wildly
disproportionate. He, however fails to address the cultural roots of
this, and in his ignorance turns it into a solely racial issue while
ignoring the fact that every race has a checkered history.

I wouldn't *completely* write off what this guy says so much as I
would write off how he says it, why he says it, and how he readily
boils real facts, misinformation, and plain ignorance into his messy
arguments. The valid point, however, that he is addressing is that,
yes, there are more violent crimes committed by blacks today in
America, which tend to instill a sense of fear of blacks in many
(maybe even most) whites, but his overall assessment and
generalizations of why this is are absurd.

And yet you still can't acknowledge the statistically proven,

So the millions of murders committed by whites (and still being
committed by whites in other parts of the world) have intelligent
rational behind them?
Gee, all we need is another armchair philosopher. If millions of
other people have your myopic view of the world, it's no wonder that
George W. Bush won the Repubiclan (sic) primaries.

I find it particularly amusing that you still feel that all your
shortsighted arguments are still right, when I have provided you with
quantifiable, verifiable, historically accurate FACTS. I guess if you
did acknowledge them, then you probably wouldn't have much of an
argument against Melvin.
You could use a little icewater down your pants yourself.
You see, there is a reason that this NG is called "alt.rap.sucks" and
not "alt.flame.niggers".
But you're on WebTV, so why should I expect you to know anyway?
Murder IS murder, and everybody knows the FBI profile for a cold, sick,
serial killer is an anti-social white male. Yeah, I know about the crime
numbers for blacks, always have. I think I have an explanation for this,
but I won't bring it up at the moment because it'll probably sound like
I'm rambling, or, to a Mighty White Power Ranger, "Takin' up fo dee
nigger". The numbers have fallen a little bit over the past few years,
but it's still a major problem that certainty needs to be addressed.
<<He, however fails to address the cultural roots of this, and in his
ignorance turns it into a solely racial issue while ignoring the fact
that every race has a checkered history.>>
People like him are good at ignoring things.
<<Domestic violence happens in every race in equal measure.>>
I'm not sure about that, but I THINK there's are higher number of
domestic violence cases for whites. I'll have to check it out.
<<I wouldn't *completely* write off what this guy says so much as I

    <<And you responded so fast this time! You must have jumped
right on it as soon as you got home from school.>>
Well, it was either that or watch Jerry Springer(puke).
  HERE WE GO!!!
 <<Anyway....
  To address your latest concerns and questions, let me start with
this....Of course you are more likely to fall victim to murder at the
hands of your own race! This is common sense. Due to the fact that most
people prefer to dwell in or near areas inhabited by their own race,
doesn't it stand to reason that they will meet up with a like-skinned
bad guy?>>
Hmmmmmm, than how exactly does that "72% of all black crimes are
committed against whites" thingy work then?
  <<You see, Melvin....most homicides are crimes-of-passion
killings.... And since blacks and whites do not usually interact
socially in large numbers (other than on the job or in school or some
other situation where they're forced to by federal law), then the
chances of the worst occurring by the opposite race is greatly
reduced.>>
I've seen plenty of black and white friends. Don't judge the social
habits of everybody in America buddy.
  <<But with numbers like the current ones (you know... THE ONES YOU
CONSTANTLY SKIRT ADDRESSING AT ALL COST),....."white murderers per
100,000=5.5....black murderers per 100,000=44.7".... coupled with the
fact that both race's murder totals are running at about 9,000 each
yearly, it's only too obvious to see what the future holds when their
12.7% of the population reaches 50%.
      To put this into today's perspective, white murder
rates would have to sky-rocket from around 9,000 yearly to well over
56,000 to match their black counter-parts. Think of it, Melvin. What
kind of a country would we be living in right now if whites murdered
anywhere near the black rate! And that's just murder. That is just the
tip of the iceberg. The real danger lies in the numbers of the other
violent crimes I mentioned earlier. This, by the way, is why there is a
disproportionate number of blacks in prison. Not because the man has it
in for them....Let's see the truth here....It's because they commit a
disproportionate number of crimes.
  Is this in any way unclear to you??>>
Hell no, and it never was, it's a very serious problem. But, I must
propose this question, have you ever been to a ghetto? You know, mostly
black and latino, looks in dire need of paint sorta place. Fucked up
schools, fucked up jobs, an all around fucked up place. Many people
resort to drug dealing(Which, in my view, contributes to a large part of
black crime, shit, crime in general. Of course, if you legalize drugs, a
lot of this crap would go away, but that's another thread) and robbery
because they see it as a way to get to a better financial status
quicker. Meanwhile, the government chooses to throw these people in
jail(you know, house them for a few years, make no effort to
rehabilitate them whatsoever) and release them as a even more dangerous
person than before, and throw welfare at them and expect the problem to
go away, heh, fat chance in hell. Than, these conservative
assholes(fuckin' right I'm liberal), choose to whine and bitch while
doing nothing to help the problem. America, ain't it beautiful? Flame
away people.

off, pal. Did you know that if the black violent crime rate were
removed, the U.S. would have a violent crime rate comparable to that of
Great Britain? Life would be very different here, let me tell you.>>
Please, this IS America, somebody would pick up the slack in a hurry.
There are predominantly black countries with dirt low crime rates, and
predominantly white countries where innocent victims get their shit
blown away everyday. Your analogy is pathetic and makes no sense.

closing my mind, just take a look at yourself pal. You got it stuck in
that glue like mind of yours that ALL rap is gangsta. Just explore it a
little more that's all I ask. If you still don't like it, cool, atleast
you can say you tried something different for a change. Just listen to a
little Common, OutKast, Gangstarr, Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul,
Rakim, Roots, Mos Def, Public Enemy, Killah Priest and Goodie Mob. Of
course, that's not all of the hip hop artists I would recommend to an
uninformed fellow like yourself, but I hate lists with an uncontrollable
passion.
Oh yeah:
<<"Fuck is just a word" it doesn't mean anything" Who in the world wrote

Don't tell me, at your age, you're still offended by a harmless little

huh? Grow up.

I don't know if his stats are accurate in this regard, but remember
that blacks make up 20% of the population. That particular stat
doesn't mean 72% of the crimes committed against whites were by
blacks.
He's clumsily trying integrate that into his argument, without
discussing the other variables of that particular statistic. In other
words, say there are 100 eskimos that live in California, five of them
happen to commit crimes. Chances are they are going to eventually
commit a crime against whites since there are simply more whites than
eskimos. So the stat might say "99% of all crimes committed by
eskimos were against whites". It's the law of probability.

On a large scale basis, whites and blacks AREN'T integrated. There

Well, I wouldn't make it a partisan issue, because I think both
conservatives and liberals are wrong in this regard. As I said,
opportunities are sought out, not handed out. There are lots of
people that make it out of the ghetto which should be a clear
indication to this idiot you are debating with that ghetto problems
are mostly a result of cultural attitudes, not racial tendencies.

This is very true, and lends credibility to my argument that it is a

Whether it exists or not is really up for question. Blacks tend to
have lower IQ scores than whites, but on the other hand, the quality
of education in blacks schools is much poorer than that of whites.

Your social analysis means absolutely nothing since you have no idea
in the psychology underlying the problem. Yes, blacks often do feel
inferior, however, the general tendency in African American culture is
to discourage excellence. In other words; it's a learned trait. Now
anyone who knows anything about psychology will know about Milgrams
test which showed that a group mentallity will override a person's
conscious, no matter how terrible that mentallity is. You can see
this example all over the world. For example, most Germans during
1935-1945 were not predispositioned to hate or to murder, however, the
persecution of Jews was carried out by normal everyday people. These
people did it out of fear of being ostricized. If you're a black kid
living in a black neighborhood, a whole lot of people, and a whole lot
of circumstances are going to discourage you from doing what is in
your conscious.
P.S. Shall we discuss heavy metal (and other caucasian founded musics)

Wow, I didn't know that! I guess my Italian ancestry excludes me from
being part of the "general" caucasian population since I, or no one
else in my family likes "raw and uncooked" meat, but then again,
Italians are the only Europeans that potentially carry the gene for

Those things will help your chances of surviving tremendously.
Most whites in this country had ancestors who were much poorer and
much more disadvantaged than today's blacks, yet the crime rate wasn't
as disproportionate.

Hate to tell you, genius, but crack has only been in existance since
1986.
LSD and methamphetimes have been in existence for about fifty years,
and other hallucinogens such as mushrooms, ergot, and peyote have been
around since the begining of time.

Jimi Hendrix is probably THE biggest influence on metal with his

You obviously have turned a blind eye to Puffy's recent arrest, a
backstage brawl at a rap concert (don't remember which) which resulted
in nine stabbings, and the fight at the Soul Train awards which
culminated in the death Biggie Smalls.
Look everyone I like rap and I said the word pussy, its turned me into a
"nigger", your right it does spread like the plague ;o)
> <<People like yourself will categorically blame the blacks problems,

Look at trailer parks look at the "ghetto", lotsa crime.
Look at tiger woods looks at nick faldo, two civilised human beings,
race doesn't come into the picture mate what makes a man good or evil is
his personality, each man may start with the smallest of "evil"
genetically in him, but brought up in the right environment and this can
be changed.
Look no further than most serial killers most of these experienced
trauma at some point in there life (usually as a child), they turned
"evil" as a result of the way the were brought up. You see your genetic
coding is pretty much irrelevant in my eyes, even if you do have so
called evil characteristics encoded into you if you are brought up in
the right background you will turn out a good man.
The crime doesn't come from the black race but from the blackhole they
are currently in.

Erm I think your should replace black with "youth"
Can you remember the days of mods and rockers, everyone would get
smashed on amphetamines and go and have huge fights in Brighton,
England?
Now that was a white youth culture, at the moment hip hop is a youth
culture which idolises in drugs and shit, but then doesn't the white
rave scene? You have no fucking argument mate.

Of course, let's use a hypothetical situation. Take two people, put one
in the burbs, put the other in the ghetto. Wait, oh, how about 21 years,
than see how different there personality and outlook are. Are you trying
to tell me both would be exactly the same? You must be joking.
Environment and life experiences shape who you are. Genetics play a very
small role, if any at all, in determining a person's personality. I'm a
firm believer in the theory that all people are born as a "clean slate"
and their path through life determines who they are. If you've seen one
of your friends gunned down, would it have an affect on you? You bet. If
you've been around crime and violence all you're life, would it have an
affect on you? For sure.
<<Did it ever occur to you that they may make there own living

You have been watching way too much television. So do you feel the
same way about airplanes as you do white schools; your first step in
there might be one of of your last? Well, just as with airplanes,
thousands of prodiminantly white schools conduct things everyday with
relatively few problems. Think about it, dimwit. It's not news until
it is something that is out of the ordinary.

You are his intellectual match, and in I mean that in the most literal
way possible.
Race or age does not define whether this person will flip. If he has the
characteristics of a killer he will probably kill.

murder their sisters and brothers for a parents affection. Some murder for
sheer enjoyment. The Columbine boys were in anguish and decided to let
go of their humanity. They cannot be considered human. Their act was
animalistic. They are animals.
The media tries to make us see otherwise. They try to make us sympathize
with these animals. Yet, they draw much attention to and judgement to
blacks that kill. It is wrong to sympathize with either of them. You must
understand that we all are killers. I have a recommendation for anyone who

Rap Facts4U
Listen to what I am about to say. Rap is one of the primary components of
hip hop. Within this component system there is breakdancing(which is related
to brasilian capoeira), DJing (related to 70's disco), and graffing (the
visual art component). If looked at closely you will see that hip hop
is a culture that being developed rather quickly. There is only one problem
though. Hip Hop was developed in America and america is founded on the
capitalist system. As we all know, any culture that is revealed as being
lucrative or marketable will be exploited by this system. TRUE hip hop
was about the togetherness and joy that people can experience. Hip hop was
all about reaching the summit of that joy. Disco started it, but it was hip
hop's purpose to finish it. Sadly, hip hop had become highly commercialized
in its infancy. Hip hop soon grew into mirror image of the american values
that it resented, since many of its originators were in poverty. Anyway, hip
hop as it was known in its beginnings has died. You can argue with me if you
want, but it is a fact.
Two factions were created within the hip hop reality of the world: the
artists and the mass producers. The artists are a breed of rappers that use
artistic sensibilities while creating works. They fully understand the
negative ramifications that could come to pass if their work was
misunderstood. These artists, having this knowlegde, strive to produce work
that lends
itself to the positive aspects of the human nature. Though their work is
the strengthening of higher human nature, it does not sale very well. Also,
the commercial system serves to undermine the progress of any work like
this that is of real value to the discovery of being human.
Now, we have the mass producer, who creates work strictly for profit. They
can care less whether their work is enlightening or degrading. They are
happy as long as they gain money for their label and themselves. Their only
goal is money. Their God is money. In reality they are capitalists. Mass
Producers are the bane of hip hop yet many people blindly view them as
representatives of hip hop culture. Many of the mcees that receive much
airplay on the radio fit this description. The way to fight this is to not
pick up the album. Actually, I wouldn't call mass producers rappers. I call
them
pop artists, because they stick to the issues that are familiar and popular.
They never raise the bar of intellect in hip hop. They lower it.
Hip hop was never meant to be a source of consciousness or rage. It was
created to be an escape. All humans want to escape themselves at some point
in time. Think. Aren't you sometimes fearful of the true freedom that
you posess as a human being. Remember, the artform developed within
the impoverished class of america. They wanted to escape reality. They
wanted to reform their reality through visual, audible, and dynamic objects.
In human history, the greatest art has come from those in anguish. Hip Hop
has a long way to go before it reaches the level of a "genuine" artform such
as baroque music, impressionist painting, and ballet. Hip hop has to heal
from its exploitation. On a good note, there is hope. The marriage of hip
hop
to its parent genre of disco has created a new genre
called.............Electronica. Though much of the sound experimentation in
this artform is borrowed directly from the early german 20th century
composers such as Stockhausen, hip hop has influenced it's sound completely.
There are Goa, House, Techno, Trance, and Jungle styles that have been
created. But, as you may have guessed, commercialism has tainted this flower
as well.

I don't know if anyone "enjoys" killing themselves so much as some
sort of internal or external pressure drives people to believe that
they have no other choice.

I didn't see the media sympathizing with these people at all. Quite
the opposite, when you consider the fact that after the Columbine
shootings, the media went on to portray all "freaks" and "goths" as
murderers, and implicitly portrayed preps and jocks as heroes.

I'm not sure if Social Darwinism has anything to do with this. People
have used "social Darwinism" to justify murder, unregulated
capitalism, and supression in general by those who are in power.

I haven't seen much in the way of an interesting "culture" developing
in hip hop. Whereas rock "culture" had changed tremendously in it's

Realize though that the negative aspects in rap were inherent in it
from it's inception, not created by a committee at the top of the
Rockefeller building. It's these aspects that have been pushed to the
fore by the people who market the stuff.
I partially agree; rap exists also because of an impoverished
American educational system which is even more impoverished in poor
neighbourhoods. I don't mean to belittle the work of many rappers who
see rap as their "artform" but lets be honest; rap for the most part
is musically simplistic, and has came of age in an era where music and
art programs are being eliminated from schools at an alarming rate.

It never will; those are genres of art unto themselves based on
aesthetic principals, not some prescriped form or template. Rap is a
subgenre of American pop, and IM not so HO has not demonstrated a
capacity to escape beyond it's formal confines.

I think you overestimate my reliability on media sources. I've heard
a lot of different types of rap, underground, and mainstream. Being a
musician and a music student, I realized a long time ago that
mainstream media is not the source to get information about ANY music.

I do, believe me.
I've heard almost every type of music under the sun. See, I'm not
paying tons of cash to study music in school to simply make
assumptions about music. Patronizing me would not be a good idea at
this point during your tenure in this newsgroup.
>...........state of disrepair

Not really. Since you have not replied to any specific point in my
post, I can only guess as to what you're talking about.
Have you listened to all forms of music in the superficial sense?
Or, do you listen for the underlying form. Which is it?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enfuriating you is not my goal. Mygoal is to make you take a deeper
look at yourself and your world. I believe that you are a very very
smart and versed individual, but knowledge can can only be real
when one comes to the understanding of themselves. Otherwise,
you'll be spouting some stuff that you were taught or that you
overheard. Think of how you would when you find out that your
thoughts are not truly yours. I'd be disgusted and horrified.
You may not think that you a influenced by the media, but in all
cases, you are. Any social contact that you make carries ideas from
the media. Any book that you read whether it be an encyclopedia,
newspaper, magazine, novel, or underground newsletter may be
engineered to spread an "underlying" agenda. There is no escape
from another's agenda. Especially when theat person has power over
what you hear and perceive. These agendas are like sound. You can deny listening
to the sound all you want to, but you can never not hear it.
When you come to the realization that nothing has real unbiased knowledge
attached to it, you will be better off. But, as I said earlier, I think you have
done this.

I am a guitarist well versed in many forms of music. I can play
everything from classical, to jazz, to rock, to ragtime; half of what
I know wasn't even written for guitar. I'm not a virtuoso, and I'll
probably never win a place in the record books, but I know exactly
what I'm doing, and what I'm talking about, and if I don't, I know
when to keep my mouth shut. The only way one becomes a proficient
musician is by LISTENING to music objectively, not by guessing about
it, or recieving second hand information about it. There are two ways
I listen to music...first I listen to it from a technical
perspective;, and if the music happens to be appealing to me, I listen
to it from an emotional perspective. Most people do not have the
capicity to listen to music beyond the emotional perspective, and
therefore if the music is not of their tastes, they will regard it as
crap, I however, am not most people. Rap does not appeal to me on a
technical or emotional level. It's theoretically possible that
there's gotta be some rap that rises above the standard mediocrity and
simplicity that is rap's feature characteristic, but I have not heard
it, even from the artists who have been lauded as the "great white
hopes" (pardon the expression), and speaking as a former rap fan, I've
heard an awful lot.
Let the flames begin...
>-------------------------------------------------------------------------
>Enfuriating you is not my goal.
You don't have the capacity to "enfuriate" (sic) me, only to irritate
me. Your opinion of your ability to provoke (thoughts, emotions, or
otherwise) seems to be a bit higher than mine.
>Mygoal is to make you take a deeper

Your goal is to take me off into the deep end of intellectual
flatulence; a path I will not follow.

If you keep going any deeper, you might not know which way is up.
Eventually you won't even be able to tell your head from your ass.

Having been taught is different from what I *think* I know. That's
what sets us apart.

Well, since most people don't share my thoughts or understand my way
of looking at the world, I imagine that I'm pretty safe.

What an amazing revelation!
Gee, when did you figure this out?
I wish I was young and uneducated enough to find your conclusion to be
mindblowing.
> Any book that you read whether it be an encyclopedia,

>engineered to spread an "underlying" agenda.
Which is another example of what makes us different. *You* may be
unduly influenced by the media's "underlying agendas", but I have the
ability to sort out what is worth believing and what is fabricated.
Since I am two steps ahead of you, I realize that all media sources,
since they are produced by humans who each have different
perspectives, are going to have different spins, that is why I, as a
wise consumer of information, use several different sources to come to
a balanced conclusion.

<<Anyway....
To address your latest concerns and questions, let me start with
this....Of course you are more likely to fall victim to murder at the
hands of your own race! This is common sense. Due to the fact that most
people prefer to dwell in or near areas inhabited by their own race,
doesn't it stand to reason that they will meet up with a like-skinned
bad guy?>>
Hmmmmmm, than how exactly does that "72% of all black crimes are
committed against whites" thingy work then?
<<You see, Melvin....most homicides are crimes-of-passion
killings.... And since blacks and whites do not usually interact
socially in large numbers (other than on the job or in school or some
other situation where they're forced to by federal law), then the
chances of the worst occurring by the opposite race is greatly
reduced.>>
I've seen plenty of black and white friends. Don't judge the social
habits of everybody in America buddy.
<<But with numbers like the current ones (you know... THE ONES YOU
CONSTANTLY SKIRT ADDRESSING AT ALL COST),....."white murderers per
100,000=5.5....black murderers per 100,000=44.7".... coupled with the
fact that both race's murder totals are running at about 9,000 each
yearly, it's only too obvious to see what the future holds when their
12.7% of the population reaches 50%.
To put this into today's perspective, white murder
rates would have to sky-rocket from around 9,000 yearly to well over
56,000 to match their black counter-parts. Think of it, Melvin. What
kind of a country would we be living in right now if whites murdered
anywhere near the black rate! And that's just murder. That is just the
tip of the iceberg. The real danger lies in the numbers of the other
violent crimes I mentioned earlier. This, by the way, is why there is a
disproportionate number of blacks in prison. Not because the man has it
in for them....Let's see the truth here....It's because they commit a
disproportionate number of crimes.

Hell no, and it never was, it's a very serious problem. But, I must
propose this question, have you ever been to a ghetto? You know, mostly
black and latino, looks in dire need of paint sorta place. Fucked up
schools, fucked up jobs, an all around fucked up place. Many people
resort to drug dealing(Which, in my view, contributes to a large part of
black crime, shit, crime in general. Of course, if you legalize drugs, a
lot of this crap would go away, but that's another thread) and robbery
because they see it as a way to get to a better financial status
quicker. Meanwhile, the government chooses to throw these people in
jail(you know, house them for a few years, make no effort to
rehabilitate them whatsoever) and release them as a even more dangerous
person than before, and throw welfare at them and expect the problem to
go away, heh, fat chance in hell. Than, these conservative
assholes(fuckin' right I'm liberal), choose to whine and bitch while
doing nothing to help the problem. America, ain't it beautiful? Flame

Great Britain? Life would be very different here, let me tell you.>>

There are predominantly black countries with dirt low crime rates, and

Xavier, you are smart and you have yourself figured out, but you
still have a few issues that need to be attended to. You say that I
am trying to take you of the deep end when I only want to allow
you to infer in a new way that will provoke the question of art
and the knowledge of being human. This post is larger than
hip hop, rock, jazz, or any pop music form. This post is about
life. You are right RAP does suck, but so do all of the other
forms of popular music out there. I feel that many of you that
post on this site are like middle school boys that jack of
behind the closet door or the e-mail alias in this case.
We are all lost. A thirteen year old kid has posted about how
he counted his classmates to see who liked rap and who was
prep. Another post was an insulting hip hop parody(rapper
trying to be heard). We are all lost within our own ignorance
and confusion. It is this confusion that caused Columbine and
it is this confusion that caused the Holocaust tragedy. I realize
now that only a select few can operate without the blinders on.
Many others cannot. True self reflection is the only way to stop
this madness. Can you not see what is happening here?
I'm not some deep philosopher. I don't think that you should
subscribe to any of the things I say unless you truly feel that
they are valid. The only thing that I want people to do is
question themselves and expose the impulses and desires that
they thought were theirs. I want you all to understand RAP not
as an outlet for your anger, but as a building block to understand
what it means to be a human being........what it means to be real.
It has become painfully obvious to me that this newsgroup is
doomed mediocrity and the posting of opinionated garbage.
No real thought ever goes into any of the posts that I have read.
No research or sources have ever been sited in any post. So,
There is no way that Hip Hop or art can be talked about in a
serious manner within this NG, because many of you hide
behind your keyboards and aliases spouting unproductive
crap. I give up. Xavier thanks for the ride, but I'd rather walk.

didn't intellectually stimulate me anymore.

Do you even know what you are talking about? Do you even think you
do? I read the "media" to get another perspective; a spin that is
different than my own. My life experiences are a lot more powerful
than what I read in a book or in a magazine.

Yep, but since you don't know me, you could not possibly fathom what
they are. The issue is that you are full of shit. I kept my tongue
bit until now, but your assumptions on how I process information are a
serious mis-step. I took Psych 101 too Phil, but I used what I
learned to analyze myself, not to analyze complete strangers. It
would be wise that you do the same.

Isn't that the way you could describe your presence here thus far? So
far, as I've seen in this ng, you have been the only person who seems
to think what you're saying is somehow meaningful. The crux of the
biscuit is that you seem to only stimulate yourself. True
intellectual masturbation.

Or you don't realize what I've been saying all along. Most people do
not care. They scroll down through their NG selection box and they
see one that says "alt.rap.sucks" and they say to themselves "boy,
this sure looks like a good NG I can post something stupid on when I'm
bored". There is no cosmic significance to this as you'd like to
believe. For most of these people, rap generally doesn't register as
a burning issue.

Whoa boy, here we go again...
I'm amazed that my utterly mundane opinions which you simply don't
agree with have attained that same historical importance to you.
Confusion probably caused that, too.

I can see exactly what is happening here. You're carrying this
extremely pointless discussion into an intellectual cesspool, and...
TADA...making it even more pointless!
Now I understand that all these things that you mention are important
in their correct context, but this is not it.
I said that rap does not have anything appealing to me on an
intellectual level and that I find it boring...pretty simple.
>I'm not some deep philosopher.
What an amazing observation! Honestly! I didn't think you'd ever
figure that one out.

Again Phil, I KNOW this. This is again what sets us apart. Don't
worry, I won't subscribe to your "philosophy" just as I won't
subscribe to last week's newspaper when I can get today's.

I think rap is a boring, formally confined genre. The only way that
my life would be any different if rap were not around is that I
wouldn't have this NG to post in, and waste my time replying to
dimwitted posts from intellectual duds like yourself. Rap has
absolutely nothing to do with my being human. If that's what rap is
to you, then fine, but to about 99% of the population of this planet,
rap is pretty unimportant.

How the fuck do you cite an opinion?
I can go over a few examples of rap and rap artists, and cite
specifically what I don't like, but if you think there is any way that
you can try to quantify the inquantifiable, then you have truly missed
the point of what music is all about. For those of us who don't see
God everytime we use a urinal, this is pretty obvious and doesn't need
discussion.

I would imagine that the same applies to you. There are no examples
in your posts in which you discuss what makes rap so artistically
viable. So far you have done quite the opposite. You have decided to
formulate in your mind what you think I am and how my mind works
without any research or knowledge of who I am. I know for fact,
because of exposure and research, that I know more about rap than you
will ever know about me in your lifetime. It's apparent to me that
your idea of self reflection is more akin to self projection.

I did, tardling. Both to your 4/7 and the 4/13 post which begat this
thread. God, you webtvers make me vomit.

This is USENET, not e-mail. As soon as the post reaches the server,
it's fair game for everyone. If you don't want others to weigh in,
get the fuck of USENET and start an e-mail debate.
>Then you responded with some bogus letter from your email weeks after I made the

Or you read my POST (not "e-mail"; no wonder you're so confused) weeks
after I wrote it. I responded on the day you posted.
But wait, who are you replying to? Do you yourself not know? Quoting
and directly addressing someone, something you at WebTV are
pathologically bad at, might help next time.

What the fuck are you talking about?

I don't know nor do I care.

I can only "stay on point" as much as the posts I'm replying to. Why
don't you bitch at the people I'm RESPONDING to instead of bitching at
me. It might help your chances of survival here.

Well, then why didn't you respond to my replies to your posts?

I got better advice to you. Don't respond unless you know who you are
responding to.

Most of my replies to your posts were hard facts. Your posts were
filled with ramblings of how "dangerous" white schools are, when there
have been about five or six school shootings in the last year out of
ten of THOUSANDS of white schools. Clearly the case of someone who's
been mediated. The fact of the matter is that black crime is much
higher than whites. That isn't a "sentiment" it's a fact, and if you
want to bring up that topic just as you did in the post that I replied
to on 4/7 and 4/13, you will have to face the facts.
If YOU had any common sense you'd realize that the more something is
commonplace on TV, the less it is in real life.

Figure it out from there.
>Now your comment about webtvers making you sick really says too mch
>about your intellect.
You can not name me one post in which I even MENTIONED my "intellect".
It was not me, but Phil who praised my "intellect". I simply stated
to Phil that I know exactly what I am talking about and that I have
not been influenced by the media as he insisted. That doesn't mean
everything, but it means that I know what I know, and that's a lot
more than you know. Now if you want to take up this issue about my
"intellect" with someone, take it up with Phil or keep your fucking
mouth shut.
>Thankx for confirming all assumptions of you

Forgetting that I replied to both your posts, attributing someone
elses comments to me, and then writing a long rambling posts about
everything that you THOUGHT had happened is not idiotic?
I rest my case on that one!

Ooh, ooh, you called me "stupid". What was it you said about "petty
insults"? Not only are YOU stupid, but your also a hypocrite.

>fuck am I talkin about.
WELL, you are not refering to specific dates, times, subjects, or
people. So Mr. Commonsense, wouldn't it be "common sense" to know
that most people, especially in something as trivial as alt.rap.sucks,
are not going to go out of their way to look for something if they
don't know what to look for? You can't tell someone to look "over
here" or "over there" and expect them to find what you want them to
find unless you are refering to something in particular.
>You seem a bit more confused than I am as you
>couldn't realize that I was referring to your cut & pastes from the

I didn't use any e-mail to respond to anything here. And if you're
refering to a post, I don't know which one, because you have not told
me when it was written or what thread it was under.

Well, you mentioned my handle "Northern" so I figured that it
pertained to me at least somewhat. See, "common sense" dictates that
if you call someone's name or mention it, you'll get their attention.

Insults have nothing to do with whether I put facts in my posts or if
my opinions are informed or not. Most of my knowledge works on facts
(unlike you who seem to base your ideas on how much things appear on
TV; the idea of rock being "suicidal" music and white schools being
"dangerous" being some good examples), things that verifiable and
documented
