It just mimics the overall statistics:


Baltimore has now had 343 homicides in 2017, sets record for killings per capita - Baltimore Sun

http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/crime/bs-md-ci-per-capita-homicides-20171227-story.html

With two fatal shootings Tuesday night, the recent reclassification of a decades-old shooting as a killing and another homicide Wednesday evening, Baltimore has hit 343 homicides in 2017, and a new record for killings per capita.

The homicide rate for 2017 is now 55.8 killings per 100,000 people. The previous record was 55.35 per 100,000 in 2015. The city suffered 344 homicides that year, but had thousands more residents

Love when they get shot full of holes.

And anyway, one thing this world doesn’t need is more “rap artists”.  ::)

Isn't "rap artist" an oxymoron?

They're dumbasses who try to glamorize the thug lifestyle.  Why do people even buy this shit?  When you listen to rap you can literally feel yourself getting more stupid by the minute.

Have never given 2 shits about the lyrics in metal, i maybe know entire lyrics of maybe 5 songs, i only care about the music, actually one of the best bands i lately discovered is completely devoid of vocals

lyrics is a very important part of rap music.

not just the meaning but the way words are put together, how they rhyme, the tone of voice etc it makes the voice become an instrument in itself.

To be fair, there were some good story tellers in rap music but the overwhelming majority of it is self aggrandizing bullshit. Much like the culture as a whole, it’s all about the outward show and internally bankrupt.

More like trying to make a name for themselves at all costs. They're social media and fame obsessed and they'll do anything to get it include hurt people, do drugs, and point guns and humiliate people. These fools will do anything for some views and likes because they have no father figure or adult figures to show them love and the right of way.

This is why most people become rappers to begin with. Such a low-income shit career all they see is the top 1% and they think that's them. Living in their own little movie like everyone else is in their to be a part of their come-up story. These are dangerous people and should be stayed away from at all costs. They just see people as pawns on their chess board.

A lot of middle to upper middle class white kids listen to it just for the point that you made. The fantasy, the lifestyle, the bravado.

As someone semi involved in rap music and a fan from 1999 to 2010 or so, these rappers are cringe worthy and I'm not sure what happened to this industry. It's god awful, cliche, horrible talent, etc. in the 90s you had wutang and spin offs like Killarmy, mobb deep, etc. I don't even consider this video to show rapping. This is just ghetto dramatization for the sake of looking hard. They are just talking, zero mic cadence, pathetic rhyme structures that sound like a 5 yr old wrote it.


But I do agree, analyze any other lyrics from other genres and they are just as lame. But holy shit did rap take a huge nose dive into poor quality bullshit

The true geniuses like Michael Schenker know how to straddle the line so that feeling is not sacrificed just for the sake of technical proficiency.

Don’t disagree.

However, it must be said, some musical artists have their technicality as its own means to the end. Whether enjoyment for its own sake or as a vehicle for a very “pushing of the envelope”.
