Because they are two different words meaning entirely different things.  One is illegal and the other is not.  People tend to frown upon the use of the word rapping, uh, I mean raping

Rock by FAR!  Rap isn't music, its just fast, crude poetry.  Notice at rap concerts there are usually no actual instruments, therefore not really music.  I'd rather deal with emotions than smoke a blunt or fuck a bitch anytime.

I partially agree with you. Rap and hip-hop are not a good example for young children. And I don't like listening to them either. I think it's like saying a "poetry" without a rhyme, on a bass rhytm. Plus, it talks only about how poor they are or how they drug themselves or how they have sex... Not art at all...\nThough I believe I spotted in your message a little rasism... That's not good at all. From this point of view, you are not a good example for children either... You know, there are Caucasian hip-hop-ers and rap-ers. You shouldn't blame the Afro-american people for this kind of "music". There are numerous black people who play pop, dance, disco... since the '80s.\n\nAdding other comments in my answer: Yes, it's disastrous that people are not anymore interested in musical instruments. I myself used to take piano lessons, but the lack of time made me quit them. I am not American, so i do not know exactly what they show on your MTV, nor what singers have lately appeared. I also dislike Kanye West and other Americans' songs (not blaming anyone but those who write/sing them). That's why I also quit watching MTV, because it's overcrowded with the worst songs. Instead, I started watching VH1. I recommend it to you, for it broadcasts only what is good, and, what's more, you get to hear older music (which I am a fan of). You can also listen to music on your Y! Launch Cast. I know I do and I love it.\nAbout your last phrase, I believe you ought to be a little more moderate. It is rude and offensive to say that the people here do not have brains (and in general too), especially that I and somebody else had already answered to your question before you posted that comment. Hope will take this as a piece of advice!

Goths generally like certain kinds of music, but that doesn't mean they hate everything else. I like some kinds of R&B, hip=hop and rap. You've most likely only been exposed to the fakey stuff on the radio. That's not real rap or hip-hop. And it probably isn't the music you hate, it's the ideas; misogyny, violence, materialism, the glorification of poverty and ignorance. Take away these unflattering items and all you have left is a style of singing and musical beats that may or may not be to your liking. Hope that cleared things up! ;)

What is wrong with you?\n\nBut anyway, rape is a lot worse in my eyes than murder. Email me if you want me to explain.\n\nAs a video gamer that plays all types of games (including GTA, I have never once killed, raped or robbed, you need to get that fantasy of games turning people into psychos out of your head.\n\nIf your "no saying we should make raping games", then what exactly is your point? do you even have one, or is this just some on line vent at your frustration, and not actually a question?\n\nMaybe if it really bothered you, you could do more than post nonsense on Yahoo Answers, and actually do something about it in the real world.  Maybe you could get a Christian game developer to make you a game where you throw Bibles at people, or smite non-believers?\n\nGet over yourself, and remember something: If you don't like it, don't buy it.  No one is forcing you to play a game, or watch a movie/TV show.\n\nEdit:  "Bahaaha"? Ya...you got me, good job man...As far as "loving" GTA...I havn't played it in over a year, but if that image would help your sense of accomplishment, then go for it.

they usually do it because they think it makes them cool and makes them appear to be more "grown up." as for why people rape, those are the ones that have psychological issues and raping somebody makes them feel better about themselves, for a while at least.

Listen to the LYRICS, NOT the BEAT or rhythm. The lyrics are so negative. I was forced to listen (my ears were raped) and I heard shooting, prostitution, drug use, and LOTS of profanity (in some states, is illegal to use in front of children)

I hate when rappers go back and forth with this stupid crap.\n\nIt's all about money, power, and respect, and they feel that the only way to get those is to talk about another rapper.\n\nA more respectable way of getting money, power, and respect is by being A GOOD RAPPER!  And acknowledging, the good rappers when they are good - like Jay-Z.  Instead of trying to make him seem small, to make yourself (meaning Cameron) feel better about himself.\n\nIn the end, it's just a losing battle for Cameron.  Jay-Z has already won.

Nice spelling..... \nI've found that most people who don't like country music have never really listened to it..... so give it a try and then make your judgement, okay?  It applies to more peoples lives than rap does.... unless you're spending your day smackin' ho's, smokin' pot, and just being a general loser......

she disgustipates me. she's so f*ckin fake and not punk, but she desperately wants to be. any retarded monkey can write their own lyrics. most people don't pay attention to that anyway. as long as it has a melody that drunk white girls can dance to, its a hit! sadly the same thing is going on in rap and anyone with substance is overlooked

I dont think thats true at all, we should respect all different art forms cuz some rappers are really poetic, just listen to Common sense or Mos Def, Dont be so closed minded buttmunch! (and this is coming from a guy who deosn't even like rap)

Said in another way - it's because some people say it's eeeeeeevil, that others are drawn to it.  Every teen has to find a way to make their parents go "Ewww, that's awful!" and rap is a nice handy way to do that.  It's a way to distance yourself from your existance as a son/daugher so that you can more clearly see what part of you is you, and what part is "trying to please mom/dad"\n\nOne more thing.  They said the same thing about Rock&Roll, Blues, Jazz, and probably Ragtime (all of which came from the same poorest of the poor culture).  Each of these brought a unique richness to the American music scene.

I think it's a double standard due to the fact that rappers say the "N" word (No I don't use it!!) every other word!! And you hear all these little hip hop clowns refer to themselves as it again every other word...I have no problem with the fact that he snapped and called them something they probably refered to themselves as all day long anyway....It was the comment that precipitated it\n\n"If it was 50 years ago you'd be hanging upside down with a fork in your a*s" That blew my mind...\n\nSomething like that just doesn't roll off your tongue unless you've thought about it before..That was unbelievably offensive and crossed every there was to cross in my mind!! The dudes career has been dead for years. So I can't even say he buried himself with that comment...But he sure let people know where his mind lies..He's racist no if's ands or buts about it.
