Old school however you describe it, is the start of a revolution. I don't fully have reason to say old school rap is the reason for my disliking of rap because I really don't listen to it. My problem is today's rap.
Today's rap is nothing like old school. Rap today is all about women, booze, money and drugs. Too be honest, it's annoying. I feel that the only artist that I can be happy with is Macklemore and Ryan Lewis.
This great duo raps about controversial topics such as same-sex marriage. They also can be completely goofy and rap about thrift shopping. This is why I love them. They are also self made artist. This means they can produce music by themselves. They really just rap meaningful lyrics.
Now a days the cool thing to do is start rapping. Miley Cyrus does it, Justin Bieber does it's, heck Taylor Swift even raps. Rap isn't controversial because of the topics it takes over but because do how it effects people. We as people are vey influential. It is hard to listen to rap and not think about how one lyric could make a teenager think they are unstoppable. We must caution ourselves from going too deep into rap culture but yet still enjoy it. For now, Asian out!!!!
