15. "thats the thing"
In response to In response to 13


  

          

you and other heads CONFLATE the shit out of the term Gangsta rap. I do not think of Nas, Wu and Mobb as gangsta rap. they were street rappers. did they talk about using/selling drugs, getting in fights, shooting guns, calling women bitches and hoes? yes. But when i think of gangsta rap i think of a sound with that content tied to gang life, particularly in LA. also there is a strong remorseless nihilism in most gangster rap that is absolutely reprehensible, even if enjoyable.

ultimately all like all other "sub-genres" of rap Gangsta rap had its great, good and bad. but all this Gangsta rap is the best form of rap music, it was actually progressive, there was nothing wrong with it bullshit just needs to stop.
