Jump to Comments So I go to DT this morning to have a little look at the chart and see what's up and I flick through the top 10 beats. Something strikes me: the titles of your beats are all kinda fucked up. Here's todays top 10: "CRANK IT FULL" "AK 47" "Addicted to Powder" "Get Cake*MF*" "GANGSTZ ONLY" "1st Gun Shot" "ON MY GRIND instrumental" "Catch Your Issue" "where ya gun atttttttttttt" Otherwise read as, guns, guns, drugs, money, crime, guns, hussling, ?, guns. WTF, Dudes, y'all left the crips and and joined the clichés? Feels like I just stepped into the head of a 12 year old boy. I click to the recent beats and not one of the names mentioned guns/drugs/murder etc etc, so I figure it's the emcees putting these beats frontpage. Are a lot of you really inspired by this shit? Is it a big enough part of your life (real or imagined) to make it what you rhyme about? Notice that I'm not really asking whether this stuff is part of your real life or imagined life/ DT identity, because I figure music is just entertainment and people can adopt the character they want, which might be totally made-up (ie. like that guy Hannibal Jester) or an exaggeration of themselves. I know a lot of y'all also rap about being real but then we got some serious dealers/ serial killers/ pimps in this joint. I haven't really got a point - I just wondered what you all thought about why a lot of DT is guns and rap clichés. And also, if I'm right about these kinda make-up/ exaggerated characters (am I?), why do people choose to be cop-killing playground gang leaders and not some cool-ass cartoon character? PS. How many of you have rhymed ganstas annd wankstas... seriously dudes... what's wrong with hamsters? PPS. I've just started thinking about kkrunch3. I figured I could try out some sort of public beat for people to spit a couple of lines and perhaps make a skit out of it. I'm not sure. Perhaps... http://www.dopetracks.com/beat/36045
