Can anyone explain to me why gangster rap still exists. It's like the fake wrestling of all music.

I listen to some hip hop like Mars Ill annd LA symphony, but this gangster stuff sucks. Here is not one single positive element to it either. Especially to you parents out there. Is this what you deem 'acceptable'? If it wasn't so morally degrading vulgar to catch attention it would probably just put me to sleep with it's total lack of ingenuity.

La Symphony quoye "catchy phrases are great, but your versus are weak"yawn

mmm....dunno. I havn't stopped listening to Disturbed, Rammstein and Cannibal Corpse long enough to listen to any rap, let alone gangsta (?) rap. laugh

I'm assuming it's about drugs/sex/killing people by the term "gangsta"...what are some of the groups?

This is said throughout history of many forms of music. If you don't like it don't listen to it. I have been around long enough (ssssshhhhhhh) to see this said of the music of my time and it wasn't rap. It'll blow over just like ours did. I do not recomment parents let their children listen to it until they cannot control what they listen to anymore. Just because it is very vulgar. But it has just as much right to be music as any other genre.

It's the evolution of music, like rock went through the 60's-70's greatness to the 80's and 90's not-so- greatness. When the music becomes mainstream people copy their contemporaries, Rap used to be the voice of the street, like rock was the voice of the counter culture, when the movement dies the music dies with it and the remnants become what we know today as rock and rap...

"Rights" and "whys" aren't the same thing. I used to listen to Ice Cube (big sell out of all time), but then I grew up.

You are very right. Rap turned into an old fat guy complaining his food is cold cuz he's spoiled with perks.

I was fishing for "fans" who could somehow justify it.

I suppose we all know what it truly is. Doesn't make me wanna vomit any less though.
