It’s simple and it’s complicated. It’s true that some rappers have completely killed their music careers and that some have not.
Contrary to popular belief, there are not some rappers who have annihilated their careers and made billions of dollars.
They’ve all taken chances and all have sacrificed. Some of these artists are extremely intelligent and capable of even being socially articulate.
These are actually the ones that are more likely to not only write their own music, but actually articulate, visually, and practically where they are coming from.
These are some of the few who not only feel a specific way but can express it with sound and look.
Some of these artists in rap music have all taken a bullet before. Some have taken a step back and not allowed their art to die a slow death of slow decay.
These artists are those like Eminem. Eminem wrote for himself first, and then others.
He became the way he was because of who he was.
He didn’t have the assistance of any industry heavy-weights, but what he did have was the creative freedom to write what he wanted to write and what he felt like a human being.
On the other hand, there are artists in rap music who are extremely intelligent, articulate, and can actually articulate what’s happening in a particular social, emotional, political, or psychological state.
These are the artists who think about the world and how it functions. They take the position they are in and allow that to inform the way that they move through life.
If there were fewer rappers, this is not a problem.
However, because there is more rap, more racist people are willing to express their negative feelings by using rap lyrics.
Rappers act as if their lives are perfect. I have only heard some of their music, but so far, they have not met a lot of people.
They must spend a lot of time just singing to each other and thinking about what they are going to rap next. I can’t tell you how many rappers are gay, though.
Next, there is a lot of violence in rap music. Rapping is not all about making beautiful music; it is also about promoting violence.
They want it to sound like a musical score for a movie. There is nothing wrong with rap music, but it is not music at all.
It is called “rap” because it rhymes. I would rather be listening to metal or classical music because it sounds more real.
If you would like to hear more good and bad rap music, I have included a link.
I included some samples of the rap music that I like and some of the rap music that I do not like.
Listen to the music. While you’re at it, listen to the lyrics. The label on the CD might say “Sugar Hill Gang,” but a closer look will reveal that the music was written by a group called “The Furious Five.”
That’s because rappers used to write their own music. While this can work for some artists, it doesn’t necessarily mean you can replicate it.
Eminem is one rapper who wrote his own music. Does this mean that he is a better rapper than Tupac? Not really.
The lyricists for Kendrick Lamar and Eminem are extremely talented rappers.
If you want to be a good rapper, you need to work on your lyrical skills. Eminem has several songs that are lyrically weak, and I believe he really knows it.
His raps can be boring, and not at all aggressive. On the other hand, Kendrick Lamar is a gifted lyricist and is almost lyrically perfect.
You can tell the difference between his music and that of the others.
I’ll be the first to admit that Eminem is probably not going to work for me, and I can’t be a good rapper without doing an Eminem impression.
However, I’m willing to learn from a rapper who is as talented as Eminem.
Don’t listen to the media. There is a recent study that shows that violent crime has a negative correlation with rap music.
While this study was just published a few months ago, it provides some valid evidence that rap music does affect our violent behavior.
However, this is not news to the parents of young people. Rapper Dr. Dre is an example of this, and as a parent, he chose not to play his music in his house.
Even though rap music is a large part of hip-hop culture, it is still a powerful music form that needs to be respected.
The meteoric rise and tragic death of a Brooklyn icon transformed a local rap anthem into a haunting cultural touchstone for a city in transition.
Collaborative pianist Nicole Ying bridges the concert hall and the digital stage, using short-form video to make classical music more approachable while staying true to her artistry. With reels surpassing two million views and fellowships at prestigious programs, she shows how authenticity and connection can expand classical music’s reach to new global audiences.
Netta Toledano embodies the artist-as-entrepreneur, building original productions like Ivy and the Poison by blending creativity with logistical self-reliance. Drawing on her multicultural background and multidisciplinary training, she navigates the dual pressures of performance and production, turning independence into both a challenge and a source of artistic freedom—showing how today’s creators can sustain their careers by building their own platforms and audiences.
