u dont know a damn thing about hip-hop there are many great hip-hop artists that are doing great things for people, have u heard of common, kanye west, t.i, lil weezy and others who have contributed towards certain causes, not to mention ludacris and david banner.

most pple know that hip-hop/rap artists actions is simply ACTING, they are simply marketing themselves and their music, most of them dont even act like that 24/7 plus many of them have families and do actually have a brain,

Little wayne a.k.a lil weezy raps about selling crack. Remember the song titled "fireman". he promotes the very thing that keeps the ghetto's down.

😲

Stereotyping is so easy, don't forget about Big Pun, Biggie and the master 2pac not only he has been the greatest of hip hop, but his poesy even has a class at UCLA in Berkeley were they study Pac's philosophy (I would like to take that class).

Sure "commercial" rappers talk about what sells, but everything is a state of mind so before you start stereotyping & talking nonsense be more informed, and you need to live in a "culture" before you speak about it.

Credit is not an issue, Boost is for people who do want to pay for what they really use, and don't want to fatten up the wallets of the executives that they know they'll be getting your money it does not matter if you use all the services or not, and besides having a monthly ...

Well unfortunately most of the listeners are too stupid to get the supposed sarcasm. And seriously, how many recovering drug addicts (with the exception of Scott Wyland) do you know that go out and sing about how cool drugs are?

The point is if you're going to take a stand on something don't be a hypocrite when you're on the mic. It's aggravating as hell to see these stupid little kids buying up the rap albums because they want to live vicariously through these morons' lyrics about bangin' hoes and throwin' bows.

Yeah, your right, besides, when was the last time you ever heard of a rapper getting arrested or getting shot... oh wait....... 😲

your the same kinda person that blaims the street crime on the music and the selling crack on the music your lame get a life. i sell lots of boost mobile phones and mostly to older people that dont want a contract or just need it while they are in an area that they're carrier doesnt have service

i agree, its the person's responsibilty what they do, not music, pple always wanna blame something else instead of the person, just because something is predominatly black or hip-hop, the words violence gets thrown into the mix, and most of these artists dont really do that, its an act i do agree that pple are dumb enough to emulate these pple but these pple are selling their image and its all about money, i dont support what these mainstream hip-hop artists do but there are a lot of good pple in hip-hop and if pple would get rid of their prejudices they would see that.

No kidding! Really, all a rapper (or any other music artist for that matter) is just someone expressing themselves through the arts. Saying a rapper is endorsing violence or drugs is like saying an actor that plays a criminal advocates murder. They are PERFOREMRS meaning they PERFORM or act. Just because that's what the public eye sees doesn't mean they are all like that. Personally, I don't listen to a whole lot of hip hop, but even I am not naive enough to think that they all are violent, angry, murdering crackheads.

I have to differ. Music is allot stronger then movies when it comes to young people. Kids can say thats a movie however when they see a video of a rapper they see money girls and so on. It blurs with reality. And you are not everyone. Some are in fact more naive then others.

The hip-hop culture is the same as the gangster culture. The gangster types run the hip hop labels and many or its stars act like gangsters. Not to mention most of the songs are about violence, raping women and killing cops. So yes its the same thing.

My husband and I both enjoy hip-hop music, but neither of us could be called "gangster types." Or even wannabe gangsters. My husband is in IT at an insurance company, and I do tech in a call center, trying to finish my degree to begin teaching. We have a 2k sq foot 2 story home in a nice neighborhood. We have 2 children. Neither of us does, or have done, any drugs, and we rarely (and by rarely I mean less than once a mo) drink. We are n...

i threaten my wife all the time that i'll cancel our sprint service to go to boost mobile when she does something to make me mad... she usually calms down after that... needless to say she doesn't like the idea

its called marketing and boost has done a hell of a job of it

i think if boost was marketed towards more white people instead of it being marketed towards the urban minority community, the person wouldnt had posted that in the first problem because apparently he didnt post this in virgin mobile or ampd mobile's forum, some pple are bigots plain and simple and he can say he "has black friends" till his face turns blue it wont change my opinion that he's a bigot, boost is doing a great job marketing to the younger generation

🤣 🤣 🤣

I just thought it would be hilarious to see if a fight on the forum would break out. I obviously succeeded. Thanks for the laughs ladies.

🤣 🤣 🤣

Yeah their ads suck. 🤣

They have the "DeLorean touch".

good, that veiled racist post wasnt fooling anyone.

You're just glad I let it die because you were tired of crying yourself to sleep at night. Boost sucks. 🤣

umm it is frowned upon to bring back old threads with nothign new to add!! So why don't we stick to it to make a better forum for all?

I was reading a few posts, and some peeps are right. ***gs like Rich Boy and all those guys brag about money money money. The ol skool guys like Pac and back when Snoop Dogg was Snoop Doggy Dogg. I was just listening to Tupacs song "Keep Ya Head Up" if you listen to his lyrics, that man is a true master. Changes...Dear mama, better dayz, life goes on, Baby Dont Cry...the mans an artist. I hate that "Pacs Life" song where T.I. compares himself to Pac. What an idiot...T.I. has a few fresh beats, but he has a long climb to reach Pacs level in the art of true Rap/Hip-Hop whateverz you wanna call it. Well, just my 2 cents 😛
