Quote:A million views over 5 years is still 200k a year on average no matter how you call it, but I digress, smack is clearly the direction of hiphop, Most people can name multiple actual songs from smack rappers, because they dominate the airwaves and downloads, even youtube vids.  

 

I've said before on the 2ndish page that I don't think anybody is even denying that there is violence in rap, but it's not 1980-1990, not everyone is claiming they're moving 200 bricks of coke a day, not everyone is claiming they've "caught" a 100 bodies, not everyone is saying to go out and kill a bunch of people.  

 

Talk about strawman......... I never said anything of the sort about URL. I even said that if you take out URL, there are still hundreds of mainstreamrap songs in the past 5 years the glorify violence way more than "Redneck Crazy" does. You're the one being willfully ignorant and saying completely false things like "URL battles get 500,000 views at most". You won't even admit to being wrong about that, which tells me how little respect you deserve is a discussion among adults.

 

Yes, it's not 1980-1990 anymore, so please go back and call out any poster citing Eric Clapton, Bob Marley, David Allen Coe, etc. Citing those guys is okay but citing 90s rap artists is blasphemous?
