I tried to give it a chance. But it all comes down to. Bad environment influence type of music. Now i dont know whether its Hollywood or other degenerate factor that influence this? But i think the only rap song i like, is this? Since its atleast critical of these types of environment
(Have some slight NSFW stuff in it, but its barely noticable)
I think you have to be high on drugs to like that video : )
Or just pumped up. Like Arnold Schwarzenegger : D
Though he is smart so not trying to make a snide remark.
Is he though? Didn’t he Marry a staunch Democrat and cheat on her with his very unattractive housekeeper? (Not that it would have been smart had she been attractive either!)
Well… ok he isnt perfect. But then again who is
edit: But emo music in early 2000s was also… legit bad so. Maybe in the end. Humans are just flawed
I see casual misogyny is alive and well in the Catholic church.
Should I apply everything that you say to every Marxist? I know that is kind of your thing, to lump everyone into a collective and say, see, they are all the same.
I have two questions for you:
Look up Vinnie Paz. End of days, moving on, cheesestakes, design in malice and so on are all great rap songs. Sadly the guy converted to Islam to defy his government.
Outkast is pure gold. Sadly Andre 3000 became a vegan spiritual guru wearing a turban that abandoned rap and is now playing hippie music on a flute.
There’s several Catholic Hip-Hop groups which I’ve taken a liking to (for obvious reasons). One of my favorite groups is FoundNation. Stompin On The Devil
Gonna rain beads on his head… meaning beads of the Rosary.
How about a Catholic priest, who’s also a rapper? Meet Fr. Pontifex. He’s a real Catholic priest, who serves in a real Catholic Diocese, who uses rap and hip-hop in the Ministry to The Youth. Fr. Pontifex - Why I love Religion, and Love Jesus.
I love Val Mural! Pray for him. He is kind of struggling with where he is at in life right now. He is so talented though.
My favorite Fr. Pontifex song is “New Day” (feat. Jessica Ashley Karpov).
These people (rapping) are psychologically damaged. My imagination is that this is the kind of musical atmosphere one might find in hell (if there is music in hell). It has extremely violent energy. It sounds dangerous. I think that if one was enclosed in a room and forced to hear this kind of sound vibration for a day or so, they would go completely insane. It is the furthest thing from a church service that I can imagine. It feels like an expression of rebellion, or anger, by people who have undergone profound emotional abuse, and are now expressing “strike-back” energy. Perhaps this is projection on my part,… but this is my subjective response to this sort of sound vibration. It causes an emotional recoil in me, a desire to escape from it as quickly as possible, so that my mind and heart don’t get contaminated by the emotions of that kind of medium.
Ha-Ha! 
I’m pretty sure they only play Barry Manilow in Hell 
Na zdorovie, DonaldDuck.
The fact it’s got “retard” in the title should tell you there is something wrong with their music, as in slang it doesn’t mean dictionary-term ‘broken’ but ‘disabled’ (as in, a disabled person). Some rappers have a hold on morals, so this attitude is not across the board, while rap in general can attract violent minds and so you are bound to come across forgettable material here and there; and furthermore, as a genre, rap music is not exactly wholly in-tune with Catholicism (think about the ‘inn’ and 'stable as a Scriptural comparison).
I don’t like rap only because, it’s not really music. It’s words without a melody. Well hell, in that case I rap all the time LOL! I mean, if we’re going to take that definition as is, people are rapping all the time.
But whatever…if it enhances someone’s life, then go for it, but rap lyrics aren’t exactly “family friendly” all the time. And, you rarely ever hear anything positive about it. In fact, when I think of rap, my mind immediately goes to Diddy who used all that wealth and power to abuse others.
There are so many messed up things that go on on this planet everyday. Why are we just pouring gas on a forest fire? I know huemans aren’t exactly friendly anymore, but is there any end to the toxic stuff we’re always exposed to?
“I don’t like rap only because, it’s not really music.”
It can be musical. There is a lot of variety.
“It’s words without a melody.”
There’s a rhyming structure and skill-level with music backing it up. Street poetry.
“People are rapping all the time.”
While I get your wit 
, rappers do generally rhyme otherwise they’d be considered thick and no-one would buy their material; instead, taking your evident humour further, people would be selling each other their own everyday sentences and which would make for a strange planet. 
Diddy 
looks to be under attack from Globalism that is putting pressure on personally owned wealth but also integrity. Any so-called evidence looks highly construed and easy to be taken out of context. He was…removed…not arrested. People can and should be allowed to say what they want, do what they want, and his music spoke no worse than any other rapper’s with the case being an ensemble of jealousy over his business expertise and as said a need to bring down successful people from a typically Marxist perspective. The freemasons go about really evil stuff, all the time, and get away with it, so no point getting into areas of complete hypocrisy.
The good-willed, those of bad intent and the ugly (interiorly). I know plenty of the latter.
The point is that if someone says or does something hurtful then they should expect comeback, e.g. someone harasses on a forum and so gets banned. Humanity has to learn to be peaceful and enforcement which tips into encroachment is social and government bullying. You don’t like rap music, either don’t buy it or be supportive publicly of attitudes which you believe to be to the opposite.
Well, lemme put it to you this way, if it wasn’t benefiting someone, or if it didn’t serve an actual purpose, it wouldn’t exist. The reason why everything exists is because, someone out there is benefiting from it. And there’s nothing wrong with that. It just doesn’t apply to me, but just because something doesn’t apply to me doesn’t mean it’s irrelevant period. It just doesn’t do much for me, that’s all.
Na zdorovie! Don’t know whether rap music benefits anyone, in the moral sense. Fairly neutral regarding that sort of thing. More about keeping your head up in a world of ‘survival of the fittest’. That’s why I say about it not being particularly in tune with Catholicism. Some artists try and use the genre as a vehicle for noble output yet don’t know whether it works for that. It’s just about fun, frolics, but also as said with an aggressive quality. It is very worldly. I…sometimes…have a listen if wound up about something as it makes for a momentary channel of anger, while I have mostly ceased in that regard because it does appear as being out of sync with Christianity or at least for the majority of the time. It’s about being cool and ‘fly’. They’re not exactly virtues, though being ‘cool’ could transition over into a ‘gathered’ way about your persona / character and confidence. If I were a HipHop artist I’d be armed and shoot socialists as a past-time! 
I’d invite them to my ‘territory’ under the guise of a barbecue and pop a cap in them. In style, though! Though that would be a contradiction as they’d be too arrogant to turn up and anyway would know what to expect.
Then you are not listening to the right kind of hip-hop. My favorite rap group is Bone Thugs ~n~ Harmony.
Hip-Hop basically samples songs that have already been hits and makes them hits again. So, in a way, it is kind of cheating, but then again, many of the hits in the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s were stolen from black artists, so I guess it’s fair.
Depends on who you are listening to. There is lost of Christian rap.
You can purchases clean versions of secular hip-hop albums. They used to bleep out the cusswords in the 80’s, which was kind of annoying. Then they used to reverse the cusswords which was less annoying, but still annoying. And then they would just must the words, but keep the beat, which I prefer.
I have also gotten pretty good at editing music myself in Audacity (removing the explicit lyrics myself).
What was bad about Diddy was not only was he doing these things, he was putting out music that spoke of God and uplifting things. He attended a Catholic High School if I’m not mistaken, but he didn’t live it.
I remember going to a Catholic Youth Retreat and we were talking about the topic of music. One kid said that his favorite artsiest was Puff Daddy at the time. I was more into West Coast Hip-Hop (it sounded more gritty and less polished) than East Coast Hip-Hop, but have most of Diddy’s albums and many of Bad Boy Records artists CD’s.
R. Kelly is another one who’s music I really like, but who did some really bad things.
But, there is good Christian hip-hop out there.
But you get what I’m saying. It’s like Geometry. I don’t need Geometry, I have no need for Geometry in my life. I’m not building something, I’m not dealing with shapes, if anything Algebra is something I use the most. But just because Geometry does nothing for me, doesn’t mean it doesn’t have relevance elsewhere, cause my Dad’s a surveyor, so he’s constantly measuring shapes. That’s why I try to tell people, instead of labeling something as right or wrong (with the innerstanding that if someone breaks the law that there should be some form of punishment doled out), but anything else that doesn’t break the law is, in some sense (not all), but in some sense everything else is up for debate as to whether or not it’s good for the other person. I personally try to honestly stay away from judging anything, because when you judge something you’ve essentially made up your mind about something. And so, when you do that, you close yourself off to the possibility of a deeper truth. I always say, just observe. Be the observer self…and just be open to what you find out. If you don’t get an answer, it doesn’t mean you’ll never get an answer, you’re just not ready to receive it yet. And maybe you’ll never be ready to receive it. The main thing is to just keep an open mind. Because what I’ve learned about keeping an open mind is that, the things that used to hide in plain sight become so much more apparent when your open to any and all possibilities. And when you think about it, we live in a Universe full of possibilities. We live in a Free Will Universe, and in a Free Will Universe, nothing is ever completely off the table. And like I said, let’s use some common sense, you wouldn’t want to observe someone being at gunpoint, you’d call 911 and either try to hide behind something nearby, or knock the person out or something.
All I’m saying is, don’t be hasty to judge. Cause you just never know, because like I’ve stated before things that originally didn’t stand out to you or become apparent, because you’re keeping your mind open, the amount of information you receive is virtually limitless if you think about it. Why do you think God’s mind is way more expansive than a huemans? Because God himself has an open mind…and considering the fact that the Universe is constantly expanding, there’s virtually no end when it comes to knowledge.
