has anyone else noticed a disturbing trend in young black youths using Rap Freestyles to communicate at what seem to me highly inappropriate moments.



i noticed today at the Trafalgar Sq Vigil a group "Street Poets" were brought on stage, presumably to represent a certain demographic. The Vigil was previously addressed by highly eloquent and well spoken representatives of the White, Jewish, Sikh , Muslim and Hindu Communities.



My deep, deep embarassment wasonly assuaged by the sight of the mostly international audience politely clapping at the end of this 2 min torrade of Bad Rhyming and over zealous 'beatboxing' obviously completely baffled as to what it was they had just witnessed.



I should also comment on our friend Science of BB Fame whose only retort when losing any sort of intellectual debate seems to be "drop a freestyle man, drop a freestyle."





-thanks.

yes it is some concern @ nativetongue, I see it just below text speek as somethign that needs to be locked off and quick

Since Science was in the house I actually started noyticing it more on buses,

Native. This guy your talking about is getting totally savaged by Nick Ferrari

Are you saying that young people rap instead of talking?confused3

i know its disgraceful.these street poets/rappers usually decieve white people with thier crap, even these white folks and chinese muppets will clap at anything they dont understand.
that aside its annoying seeing kids do this for no reason. and its like thats all they see themselves as.some of these kids think being black gives them the right to be some kinda rap genius or something like that and they hide from the real talented blacks and spew thier rubbish for a white audience only cuss no black folk wana hear thier mumbojumbo.
its just crazy i mean for a black dude to advertise a simple thing like a tissue involves him rapping.
an example is that guy science i doubt some real heads would take his rapping skills serious .
