You're right. And you coming in here claiming that white people listening to Hip Hop are sad and laughable people isn't insulting, is it?
You're a joke and obviously CAN'T respond back to my statements. You have nothing to say that would make your point even REMOTELY considerable.

Well whatever, I don't enjoy conversing with people who just want to be disrespectful towards me--I didn't come in this thread to disrespect any particular user, I don't see why you feel the need to. Well, you've given me an idea or two.

ONLY disrespectful?
I gave you plenty of material to respond to, you just chose 2 sentences.
That's not my problem, and if you can't see how your statements were insulting to a person like me (an avid Hip Hop listener) then I don't know what to tell you man...quit trying to prove a point that you realized isn't really a good argument.

I didn't say only--saying that you "just want to be disrespectful" isn't necessarily the same thing as saying that you "only want to be disrespectful".
Ex:
"Why is that dude drinking Coors Light?"
"He just likes it is all."
This doesn't imply that he only likes Coors Light.

Poid, if you think that hip hop was created to glorify these ideals, you're sadly mistaken. Have you any idea how the hip hop movement even came about? I encourage you to read up a little bit on the most important of its forefathers:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afrika_Bambaataa
And your point about "spoiled white kids" is rather moot as well. Do you think these artists would be angered to learn that someone who never lived in the ghetto listens to their music? I disagree. Do you actually believe MC's want people to go through what they had to? That is almost laughable. The hip hop movement was created to bring a little light into struggling regions of the nation, not to spread the struggle elsewhere.

Man, I tried to have a conversation with you. It's painfully obvious that you dodged all my statements that actually meant something.
I hope you're a different person when you're not looking into the screen of your computer.

More like the struggling of minorities, particularly Hispanics and Blacks.

I've watched a few Tupac documentaries; Thug Life was created to let the greater world (*ahem*White people*ahem*) understand the kind of abuses that Blacks and Latinos suffered at their hands. It wasn't simply about "struggling regions", you're totally missing the point.

Maybe to understand, yes, but most who have gone through such hardship can tell you that they would not wish it to any degree on anyone else. I think you're missing the point.

Hostile? When exactly was I hostile? Unless you have the ability to read CONTEXT(I was typing in a calm manner, BTW), I don't know how you can possibly claim that I was hostile.
You kept on responding to people who told you you have your head shoved up your ass. But then I come in, state that your claims are ridiculous (which isn't half as 'insulting' as your 'head up your ass') and I'm already being hostile and not worthy to talk to.
I don't know, to me it seems that you just did NOT have an answer to my arguments and questions.
I really want to know what kind of experiences you had that led you to form an opinion that goes something like "White people who listen to rap are sad and laughable human beings?"
There's many more arguments that you simply had NO answer to because you realized how RIDICULOUS your first statements was.
Then you have the nerve to tell me that I was being disrespectful, and that my intent was to keep on being disrespectful. Maybe if you would've answered to everything I typed in I wouldn't have such a low view of you.

You said my statements were incredibly ridiculous, and that you don't even know where to start; if this is respectful behavior IYO, I'm glad I don't have to interact with you IRL.

Well they used up my day's patience for dealing with hostility, you just came at the wrong time.

The exact experiences are irrelevant; how I justified my perspective is what's relevant, and this, apparently, is what you thought was incredibly ridiculous.

This is the message of hiphop 
It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder How I keep from going under It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder How I keep from going under
Broken glass everywhere People pissing on the stairs, you know they just don't care I can't take the smell, I can't take the noise no more Got no money to move out, I guess I got no choice Rats in the front room, roaches in the back Junkies in the alley with the baseball bat I tried to get away, but I couldn't get far Cause a man with a tow-truck repossessed my car
Chorus: Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge I'm trying not to lose my head, ah huh-huh-huh [2nd and 5th: ah huh-huh-huh] [4th: say what?] It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder How I keep from going under It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder How I keep from going under
Standing on the front stoop, hangin' out the window Watching all the cars go by, roaring as the breezes blow Crazy lady livin' in a bag Eating out of garbage pails, used to be a fag-hag Said she danced the tango, skipped the light fandango The Zircon Princess seemed to lost her senses Down at the peepshow, watching all the creeps So she can tell the stories to the girls back home She went to the city and got social security She had to get a pimp, she couldn't make it on her own
[2nd Chorus]
My brother's doing bad on my mother's TV She says: "You watch it too much, it's just not healthy!" "All My Children" in the daytime, "Dallas" at night Can't even see the game or the Sugar Ray fight The bill collectors they ring my phone And scare my wife when I'm not home Got a bum education, double-digit inflation I can't take the train to the job, there's a strike at the station Neon King Kong standin' on my back Can't stop to turn around, broke my sacrophiliac A mid-ranged migraine, cancered membrane Sometimes I think I'm going insane, I swear I might hijack a plane
My son said: "Daddy I don't wonna go to school Cause the teacher's a jerk!", he must think I'm a fool And all the kids smoke reefer, I think it'd be cheaper If I just got a job, learned to be a street sweeper I'll dance to the beat, shuffle my feet Wear a shirt and tie and run with the creeps Cause it's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny You got to have a con in this land of milk and honey They pushed that girl in front of the train Took her to the doctor, sewed her arm on again Stabbed that man right in his heart Gave him a transplant for a brand new start I can't walk through the park, cause it's crazy after dark Keep my hand on my gun, cause they got me on the run I feel like a outlaw, broke my last glass jar Hear them say: "You want some more livin' on a seesaw?"
[4th Chorus]
A child is born with no state of mind Blind to the ways of mankind God is smiling on you but he's frowning too Because only God knows what you'll go through You'll grow in the ghetto, living second rate And your eyes will sing a song of deep hate The places you're playin', where you stay Looks like one great big alley way You'll admire all the number book takers Thugs, pimps, pushers and the big money makers Driving big cars, spending twenties and tens And you wanna grow up to be just like them, huh, Smugglers, scrambles, burglars, gamblers Pickpockets, peddlers even panhandlers You say: "I'm cool, I'm no fool!" But then you wind up dropping out of high school Now you're unemployed, all non-void Walking 'round like you're Pretty Boy Floyd Turned stickup kid, look what you've done did Got sent up for a eight year bid Now your manhood is took and you're a may tag Spend the next two years as a undercover fag Being used and abused to serve like hell Till one day you was found hung dead in a cell It was plain to see that your life was lost You was cold and your body swung back and forth But now your eyes sing the sad, sad song Of how you lived so fast and died so young
Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge I'm trying not to lose my head It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under

I have all the patience of the world, why bother when the hours we waste away are inevitable 
Why not take your time and broaden your view a bit, what's wrong with the music?

It totally is, because now I don't have to deal with a person who thinks of my perspective as being incredibly ridiculous, and who doesn't seem to be willing to understand where I'm coming from.
