    Why are rappers portrayed as being thugs and being strong?

    To think about it, how can they seriously be taken as being thugs and being strong? They are SINGERS, and nothing more. Whether it's britney spears or esteban, they're still only musicians. It's like thinking that a street musician playing the accordion is a gangster, because he starts singing that he is. The only reason is that they sing about things that make people believe how strong they are. I can't seriously believe that a man who makes his money singing like shania twain is really strong or that there is anything intimidating about him.

    many of them are from a gang background.
    ever heard the story of some g-unit homies stabbing a colleage at one of the many award shows?

          With very few exceptions I doubt that many rappers can sing at all. It's mostly just talking over a beat.

                  I had an opprotunity to meet the idiot DMX, who is famous for his rap about being a tough guy, and how he beats on the cops etc. The funny thing is, the day I met him, he had actually started to believe his own shit, and hit a cop. The cop dropped him with one punch, and then pepper sprayed him. He was screaming like the sissy that he truly is.

                  And for any of you that say, that I have no idea what it is like to be sprayed by that stuff, you are wrong. I do. I have taken full face sprays with what the police carry, as well as full face spray with teargas from the millitary. And I never acted like this sissy did. Screaming and whaling!

                  I am not saying that all of the rap stars are like him, but I am sure that at least 60% are.

                    That's what I'm saying. They all talk about being really "rugged" and really "hard" but when shit goes down, I don't think their talk can save them

                          it is in fact true most commercial rappers are big pussies

                          and being laughed at by the streets when they claim they are all hard and stuff

                          no one takes them seriously , except the richt lil white kids who buy their records and want to be like them



                          this is not a FAKE NICK

                            Here's every other rap song you've ever heard

                            I got big rims on my Escalade
                            20s yeah
                            Bling, bling
                            rims, ice, escalade 20s
                            Bling, rims, rims, 20s
                            Ice, rims, 20 inch rims
                            Peace y'all


                            Enlough with the fucking rims. OK, we get it. You got paid a bunch of money to rhyme some stupid nonsense on a microphone and you bought some massive shiney expensive wheels for your middle class pimp suv. Now STFU please. Thank you, bye.

                                            That was a very dumbass comment ... lots of rappers aren't smart. Rapping is like wresling . Would you fuck with a wrestler ? I think not ... it's the same thing.

                                            If they don't come from a thug background, they start living it and they beleive they are thugs.

                                            If they do, most of the chances are that they are stoopid and can do stupid stuff too

                                              To think about it, how can they seriously be taken as being thugs and being strong? They are SINGERS, and nothing more. Whether it's britney spears or esteban, they're still only musicians. It's like thinking that a street musician playing the accordion is a gangster, because he starts singing that he is. The only reason is that they sing about things that make people believe how strong they are. I can't seriously believe that a man who makes his money singing like shania twain is really strong or that there is anything intimidating about him.

                                              They should portray all rappers as scientists, doctors, lawyers, physicists, etc. It would certainly add to the comedic value!!!

                                                I didn't happen to see the word 'black' anywhere in his post, are you stereotyping all rappers as black?
