2pac was heavily criticized as well for his music and his political opinions. I am not suggesting that was the reason for his death BUT he was bashed because his music and his messages was viewed as a threat in the mainstream.

Knock what off?
Can you intelligently explain what you disagree with? The poster made a good point that I agreed with. Current hip hop mainstream radio music predominately targets white middle class that was a point he made that just so happens to be true. That IS why it is popular. I just simply said that it is sad that the system has water down the purpose of why hip hop was created. |

So it is okay for white cops to beat and pull black people over for no reason but black people are not suppose to be angry or vent about it? Black people are suppose to be okay with the fact that they are socioeconomically underprivileged and not be angry about it? |

So it's okay for black people to ask for my change when I'm on the bus? It's okay for black people to ask me if they can use my cell phone as they're getting off the bus? It's okay for black people to bum cigarettes off of white people?! What if I want a cigarette, do I get to just bum one off a black guy because he's black?!? I DON'T SMOKE NEWPORTS!!! |

If you are going to go around saying that's how Hip Hop is created and educating people on the beginnings on Hip Hop.
You might want to take a step back and acknowledge the fact that Hip Hop mostly started out as party anthem club music. Look at Rapper's Delight. It was DJ scratching, MCs doing their thing and Break dancers getting down. Conscious hip hop didn't come until a bit later with Grandmaster Flash's The Message and Public Enemy. Also don't try to pass off Tupac like he was some patron saint. He had a few conscious songs but most of the rest of his material was gangsta rap, party songs and fucking women.
