Why do conservative pundits dislike rap so much?

[barfbag]

Rap music makes for very good talking points in recruiting people to one side. Democrats seem to have a dislike for God as God prevents people from depending on the Democratic Party. Therefore Democrats say things like "separation of church and state" and "Republicans are ignorant to science." Rap music allows Republicans to paint a picture that's not there about the Democratic Party like "separate of church and state" helps Democrats paint a picture of the Republicans that's not there.

So God's the one who makes people rich?

No I didn't say anything about being rich. Why does everything have to come down to being rich or poor for Democrats and leftists? When people look to God as their higher power, they're looking at something other than the Democratic Party and that's a threat to liberals. The Democrats want their party to be everyone's higher power because they want control and the belief in God threatens their power. As we speak, the Democrats are trying to change the fundamental foundation of our country which is freedom of religion. Obama himself said "fundamentally transform the United States of America." In order to transform a nation you first have to change it's foundation. In our case that is freedom of religion and this freedom is a huge hurdle for the Democrats in their pursuit of making us all dependent on them.

Ignoring the troll....

Republicans shouldn't dislike rap in theory because it's an american success story. Savvy entrepreneurs  took rap music from the streets of the inner city and turned it into a multi billion dollar industry by watering it down and selling its "image" to the masses. Capitalism!!

Early rap was truly subversive and 80s rappers like Grandmaster Flash actually used the genre to bring attention to the plight of inner city minorities whose communities were crumbling under the Reagan administration.

And now that Reagan is out of office, inner cities and minority communities are doing so much better. Rap music makes a lot of money thanks to capitalism.

right-wing media is built on a postmodern rebranding of the old white supremacist ideology, so they take half a step to the side and pull all the classic tricks.

Of course this isn't bias or misleading. Every single Republican is a white supremacist. Yep ignore all of the horrible lyrics and offensive language in rap music and dumb it down to race just like the Democrats want us to.

It's easy to scapegoat musicians because it's condenses down to a simple argument for talk radio or O'Reilly's dumb show.  And their audience's average age is like 65 and none of them listen to hip-hop. 

The other problem is that the more well-known and popular hip-hop music is pretty much crap.  As is Top 40 pop, country, etc.  Bill O'Reilly needs to get someone like Brother Ali on his show to give the more artistic, nuanced side of hip-hop.

O'Reilly's audience has an average age of less than 65. You may have a personal opinion that his show is dumb but they have the best ratings out of political talk shows. I don't understand why Democrats are so sensitive when it comes to racial issues. Could it be because if Democrats were to lose the black vote, then they wouldn't win any elections and so they must irrationally stand up for blacks whether right or wrong? I smell politics behind the Democrats' responses on here.

Rap music like bad parenting leads to school shootings.

That's like going back in time to 1985 that Juda's Priests Music leads to violence. Remember Tipper Gore?

I was being ironic.

This thread is the whitest thing I've ever read.

Look regardless of what music you like, we all hear farts in the same language. If world leaders got together and passed gas a little more often, our world would be a much better place. Farting is what brings us together and makes us one.
