i have developed a hatred for many aspects of rap
i feel like i will always love creating songs.. that has always been a great thing to me.. just like how i write in this website- i enjoy creating songs.. making songs with humor and/or real world situations is something that is very cathartic however i hate a lot about rap.. here are the things i hate about it i don't really like attention, it took me a while to become comfortable with this aspect of myself.. i like being low key, i am not an attention whore.. but if you do a show people are looking at you as opposed to listening to the music.. i would prefer to be like an accessory to the crowd as opposed to the main focus.. i always thought crowds at shows should talk and dance and walk around as opposed to stand there looking at you i also hate the thought of entertaining people.. for some people- entertaining others is fun, or its like an honor.. however to me its like being a court jester.. being someone's entertainment makes me feel like an idiot i much prefer to just make a song and give it to you than to actually perform for you like a monkey in a suit or like a twerking female.. performing just has a negative connotation to me.. i see so many people lose their identity to perform or i see people compromise their beliefs to entertain women like beyonce and rihanna are basically on stage pole-dancing to keep your attention.. people are resorting to pyrotechnics, people are flying in the air on harnesses and they have dancers gyrating everywhere to me its almost like saying "my music can't stand on its own" or "i'm appealing to everyone's lower self and their foolish priorities" i would much rather on any day listen to an album than watch someone perform an overhyped yet second rate rendition of their album so that's one thing, the pandering to people.. the dancing, the trying to look cool.. JUST LISTEN TO THE SONG.. it is not my job to live up to your perception or to try and be an extrovert for your amusement i even feel this way in youtube, that's why whenever i do a youtube video, i just talk the way i normally talk.. i don't over edit it or act like a big extroverted moron.. i just talk the way i always talk... i just don't like how there is a certain pressure to be "on" or to be disingenuous because people want to be entertained or because they expect you to be a certain thing another thing i hate about rap is all the "dreamchasing" when you identify as a rapper, you are likely chasing a dream, a fantasy life you saw on tv have you ever seen a 17yr old girl who was told she could be a model? she then begins to try and chase that dream and she likely ends up in some situations she shouldn't be in.. taking pictures in some 36yr old man's seedy motel room... and he has some perverted plans for her she is chasing a pipe dream.. people will see your desire and try to sell you a dream, and there is a LOT of that in music.. sometimes you are better off just going and getting a 9 to 5 or going to school.. modeling is the pipe dream that is sold to young women, and rapping is the pipe dream that is sold to many young black men rappers sell this dream through their constant lies.. like for example, many rappers lie about their age.. they are like 36 saying they are 28.. calling themselves "young" or calling themselves "kid" another thing they lie about is how they got hot in the game.. what u don't know is many of them are having their lyrics written for them and they are essentially business men in a rap costume they are selling you a pipe dream by saying "i just started rapping last year and i got huge" or "i dropped out of college and got signed" or "i don't even write my lyrics, i just go in the booth and spit" the big lie today is rappers are saying they are independent when in reality they are backed by a major.. they do this because of the rocky theory.. they feel fans will root for someone who is perceived to be an underdog.. the easiest way to see an artist is lying about this is to look at their video.. if you have a professional video yet you say you have no backing then........... look- i'll put it like this.. a red dragon camera alone can easily cost $50,000.. that's not a tool regular people have access to its like when u are in school and you take a test and the kid next to you gets an A and he smugly says he didn't even study.. when in reality he studied more than everyone else in the class the purpose is to make you further idolize someone and aspire to be them or be like them.. that is how many of these rappers eat.. by appearing to everyone else like a superhero or an anomaly.. but they are really just actors and liars.. look at rick ross for example.. he took a drug dealer's name and then started acting like a crime boss when in reality he was a correctional officer i even wrote about this in a song once when i said "if you take the name of someone that's dead or in jail/ you're destined to fail, i don't care how many records you sell/ cuz once integrity bails then longevity trails/ just what a person gets for tellin them tales/" so rappers lie to you and appear like something they are not, and so you look at yourself and feel inadequate because they achieved all these amazing things.. but the reality is, they are business men, they are older than what they say they are, they aren't always writing their own lyrics, some of them appear ignorant but they went to college i.e. 2 chainz.. many of them even do rituals for success.. or they join a brotherhood, there is evidence of this in their imagery.. like that cartoon image of kanye with his head cut off and a sword in his ear.. that is supposed to represent some occult death and rebirth or something... or eminem's picture where he holds up devil horns over one eye.. or how he replaced his cross necklace with a triangle (pyramid) necklace.. you can see their affiliations and what's worse today is many of the necessary affiliations are gay these days.. hence rappers having to wear skirts and dresses and calling eachother "bae" and all this crap... these secret societies that run the industry are pushing bisexuality today even if you don't do anything gay, there is a gag-order on you, if you say something they consider "homophobic" or the new "transphobic" (smh) they will oust you from the industry.. the industry is against free speech in that regard so there are many lies involved in the industry.. seeing the effects of this has caused me to have a certain disdain for rap as an occupation.. this is why i have relegated it to something i do for fun in free time as opposed to something i actively chase like i did 10 yrs ago i am always interested in male/female relations and so i happen to watch a fair amount of divorce court.. about 40% of the men you see on that show are broke aspiring rappers they are grown men chasing a pipe dream.. they have a wife and kids, and they are shooting music videos with women twerking, cars that aren't theirs, and fake jewelry trying to stunt for teenagers then they go home and argue with their wife because their wife is tired of working 40 hours a week while the guy does a show and only makes $55 once you see how absurd it all is, you stand back and say "wow" another thing i hate about rap is the lack of respect you get from it you could be the illest rapper ever but it will not garner you respect among women.. see you might get respect from men, you might get props in the barber shop, you might get dap from men.. but women are looking at you like you are nothing until you have proven success.. you can't spit a hot 16 to a female and get her to think you're cool.. i heard women like musicians, but its not true... WOMEN LIKE SUCCESS so you would be better off telling a woman you have a job, a car, a place to live, benefits, and a degree or two, than saying "hey i have a hot mixtape" especially these days.. maybe 30 yrs ago having an album was a big deal.. but these days since everyone can make an album in their home.. having an album means nothing.. and its actually gotten to where women hear you have an album or a mixtape and they immediately tune you out because it has become like a euphemism for "i'm unemployed" or "i chase pipe dreams" or "i have nothing to offer" these are the things i hate about rap.. this is why i have given up on rap.. i haven't given up on rapping.. i still like to do that when i have time.. but i have given up on the performing, the pipe dreams, and all the pomp and circumstance in the industry i still like spitting a hot bar here and there but its just something to do in your spare time, not something to aspire to
