  • inactive, on 03/17/2009, -2/+13***** this site. One ***** paragraph per slide? No thank you.
  • shanelw24, on 03/17/2009, -3/+12Rappers -- listen up:

    Make music about murders, sex, violence, drugs, money, and everything else that panders to the darker side of humanity all you want. Dont listen to us, we have no idea what your inflammatory music is doing to the minds of children in this country. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would be ashamed of those of you with messages of hate. For those of you who dont sink to this level, keep on making great music.
  • TIGHTY1515, on 03/17/2009, -1/+9I would knock Kid Cuddy the eff out. Seriously, My hand speed is crazy, and I will eat your children.
  • CrankMyBlueSax, on 03/17/2009, -1/+7I guess if you are going to market your "art" in part by portraying yourself as a retarded thug you may have to expect some critics from time to time.
  • gotflash, on 03/17/2009, -1/+7Music: it's like a minigun, but the bullets are made of exploding glass knives coated in burning poison.
  • inactive, on 03/17/2009, -0/+6I think that's excluded because it wasn't a "threat" but rather a "beating".
  • LeviTheSmith, on 03/17/2009, -3/+9But seriously I think Wu Tang is one of the best rap groups ever.

  • jcrewe, on 03/17/2009, -1/+6the boo yaa tribe once tore up a bunch of copies of my school newspaper because i wrote a bad review of 'angry samoans.' how come that's not on the list?
  • fearlessfx, on 03/17/2009, -1/+6Gonna pop a cap in your Associated Press.
  • WhoDoneIt, on 03/17/2009, -2/+7Could this article get any more disjointed in the layout and how they present their information?
  • inactive, on 03/17/2009, -1/+5Don't produce crap and you wont be criticized. And if you do, be a man and learn to accept it.
  • Psybient, on 03/17/2009, -0/+4Huh...childish, immature, violent, sociopathic threats of physical violence from rappers?

    Wow. Knock me over with a feather.
  • CoD4, on 03/17/2009, -3/+7pac is probably the most overrated rapper of all time.
  • POINT84, on 03/17/2009, -1/+5Good list, but Pac spittin on reporters?

    How did this classic moment get missed
  • dystra, on 03/17/2009, -1/+5if someone says "mad" one more time....

  • inactive, on 03/17/2009, -1/+4What about Dr Dre beating on Dee from Pump it up ????
  • doknoh, on 03/16/2009, -2/+5Classic. And a bunch I'd never heard of before.
  • sadisticmind, on 03/17/2009, -0/+3not really.
  • unclefuz, on 03/17/2009, -1/+3guy needs to put on some pants in the last picture
  • frederline, on 03/17/2009, -1/+3Kid Cuddly never looked so tough!
  • PeterFallow, on 03/17/2009, -1/+3If these rappers are gonna get their panties in a twist over these comical pieces, they need to give their spot to Aaron Reid—at least he could take a joke.
  • SeoulHole, on 03/17/2009, -1/+3Who's more sensitive? Rappers or rap journalists? They're peas in a pod.
  • FacePuncher, on 03/17/2009, -6/+8I ***** hate rap. *Ducks*
  • koctpoma, on 03/17/2009, -1/+3what the what?
  • artfiend77, on 03/17/2009, -0/+2"RAP has killed more then killed in Iraq. Music industry is guilty of promoting urban violence"

    You haven't proven your claim with FACTS yet.
  • Samurai77, on 03/17/2009, -2/+4I didn't understand any of that.
  • sadisticmind, on 03/17/2009, -1/+3there is good rap out there but quite a bit of it is that mindless rap that any low iq person can create. (Rock has their share too)
  • shanelw24, on 03/17/2009, -0/+2@lostsymphonies1

    it seems like you are the one waving a "generalization wand". you seem to place all blame on parents. and i agree that parents play a critical role in managing their childs media content, but the artists are responsible for the message they put out there, pure and simple. Chris Brown was up for several nickolodean music awards before his arrest for assault. Our kids are subject to this type of influence, whether we like it or not.
  • sadisticmind, on 03/17/2009, -5/+7dugg for the truth
  • artfiend77, on 03/17/2009, -0/+2Where's the part about Iraq? All this talks about are GANGS, not your claim of RAP killing more than Iraq.
  • doknoh, on 03/17/2009, -0/+2Wow, Digg really brings out the racists. It's crazy, you forget these people exist. Thanks, Digg!
  • inactive, on 03/17/2009, -2/+3OK, so threats of violence originating from ghetto thugs is supposed to be interesting? Sounds like just another day in the hood. Burried as asinine.
  • miggie, on 03/17/2009, -0/+1'What message? He is overrated. I'm happy I finally found someone that thinks the same way I do.
  • artfiend77, on 03/19/2009, -0/+1I don't even have to reply with a comeback your comments are doing all the work for me.
  • teethandeyes, on 03/18/2009, -0/+1I totally agree. I have attempted to listen to Pac many times and he never did it for me.
    Kool Keith, MF Doom, Aesop Rock, KRS-One, Big L, Guru, etc, etc all destroy Pac!
  • fknrat, on 03/17/2009, -1/+2Then why is only the rap with a negative message popular?
  • squirrelza, on 03/17/2009, -3/+4What a boring story. Boo.
  • fknrat, on 03/17/2009, -0/+1Rappers, along with other celebrities, need to calm the ***** down.
  • artfiend77, on 03/17/2009, -1/+2...you're kidding, right? An essay writen by a high school studen tthat doesn't prove the point you were trying to make? You're a loser.
  • inactive, on 03/17/2009, -0/+1Buried. Put it all on one page next time.
  • artfiend77, on 03/17/2009, -1/+2*yawn*
  • UrbanDynamix, on 06/10/2009, -0/+0So I guess acts like Ozzie Osbourne, Marilyn Manson and all that Devilish Gothic music these crackers be pumping under distorted guitars (and the Devil himself onstage with them) is all good right ? Maybe Rock is the devil and Rap is the frying pan, and we are the idiots in between. We Suck Man.
  • mdjohnson1, on 03/17/2009, -1/+1I like when you talk about your crazy hand speed. Mine is also crazy fast. Really only my right hand is crazy fast. My left hand speed is awkward and kind of slow. I guess it needs more practice at speed training. So, I too would probably know someone the eff out if they are on the right side of my body, but I risk injury if they approach me from the left due to my awkward left hand speed.
  • carbonbr, on 03/17/2009, -1/+1Isn't Jim Jones on team Complex? Uh oh, Cudi.
  • ubitendo, on 03/17/2009, -3/+3Hip-Hop isn't the only music genre with negative lyrics out there, but since badasses on the Internet hate rap that seems to be the case. But have any of you hip-hop-haters listened to some of the lyrics of other mainstream music -- it's all pretty ***** stupid.
