Say hello to a little IMDB wank! Or, why every white person who hates rap is racist.
From IMDB, the fountain of wank...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086250/board/nest/52405118

IMDB poster anofferyoucantrefuse posts on the "Scarface" message boards this question: "Why do all the rappers relate to this[the film Scarface?]" The poster goes on to point out that, although Tony Montana achieved great wealth, he died a miserable, horrible death, and lost everything.

The discussion starts out fairly civil, but of course, this being IMDB, it devolves into WANK.

First up, it starts out with "beeping" rappers. From poster nightmare_uvw: *beep* rappers.

Gangsters and idiot gangbanging *beep* that oughta be raped in prison.


Next up: bringing Goths into the discussion! EyeNixon: I LOVE people who bash on rap just so they can go cry in their little room with their black eye make up and complain about things while they listen to their death metal.

The classic "don't like something, don't discuss it" argument:

kllydkelly: I agree with manola on this.If you don't like rap music especially people like guiltboxdude25 and others on this board than don't give your opinion on it. It would be like a person who likes rap music asking why so many rock bands only want white people to listen to their music. I wouldn't ask that because I don't care(although it's sad that they do).

Annnnddd... RACISM!

fatman2k20: They're too stupid to understand the true meaning of the film, and I honestly believe that. They probably watch until they see Tony's mansion and then they stop and go out and get some new grillz or some 22s for their Bentleys.


kllydkelly: fatman2k20 is a dumb *ss b*tch. If your so racists than stick with your own kind because I think it's obvious that rappers deffinately don't like your kind.

Specnaz Nah, that's not how it is. They stop at Tony's mansion and go get some fried chicken. And hoes.

metaldogan: why is it if u hate rap your racist?

kllydkelly: I don't know why this is an issue but it's obvious. If a white person hates rap(especially if they are black rappers) than they are racist. Even the racist who do listen to it only do it so they wouldn't look like the racist that they are.

guitboxdude25 well, the black freinds i have know i dislike rap.because music doesnt have anything to do with color,inless you want to think of it that way.so im not afraid of telling them i dislike rap.and im also comfortable telling them that i like led zeppelin,pink floyd even lynyrd skynyrd.they like eminem and i like jimi hendrix.

kllydkelly: Isn't it funny that white people are always saying things like "my black friends and I" or "I don't see color" and other lies like that. Just be truthful and say how much you all hate black people like the ones who have wrote that they have a problem with black rappers liking a movie with a white actor in it.

P.S. I wonder if white people would have a problem if eminem said that he liked scarface?


ahisatool Kllydkelly, your a f uc king, racist moron. I bet your some wannabe ghetto, pregnant, overweight white girl who lives in a trailer in Atlanta with your black boyfriend who thinks your hot becuase your fat. Stop polluting our society b itch. Now f uck off and die wh ore.

anofferyoucantrefuse: Wow, you're nice.

Come on, people. This has NOTHING to do with RACE. You choose to make it so because you're all part of the pretentious, prejudice, hateful, touchy north american society that has to hide everything that's even remotely suggestive. You're all jumping at the closest oppourtunity to be offended.

It's pathetic. GROW UP. I started this post as objective, so quit getting all goddam n huffy.


kllydkelly: If you started this post than you're just as bad as the rest of the white people who think that black people are nothing but sub-human. I can't believe that people like you that hate are stll around. And to tool, no i'm not some white girl i'm a black person who's sick and tired pf racist like you who think that a black person shouldn't like Scarface or any white movie in general. If you dont like black people so much than why don't you go and spill your hate with the rest of your clan friends or listen to your great white hope eminem.

kllydkelly: thankfully people like tool and the rest of the white people on heres opinion does not matter to these rappers or any other black people because of all of your racist views. Manola 1975 is right about everything he wrote. I bet it makes people like tool sick that a black person has the money to buy a "big *ss HDTV" instead of living in shacks, picking cotton and waiting for the master to beat them.

kllydkelly: To tool1925, i'm a guy from a middle class suburb and I like rap music. But I guess since i'm black that must be the reason that I like it? And a white person can't be racist against white people because there's no such thing but it's refreshing that a white person finally admits that they're racist against black people. Now only if the rest of the white people will admit it.

kllydkelly: "It is possible to be racist against your own racist, why do you think otherwise?" Because racist can't hate other racist. And again I find it refreshing yhat someone on this board finally admits that they hate black people. Hopefully there will be more white people that will just be honest of how they fill about blacks instead of the "Ijust have a problem with rap" post which we all know is crap.

That's it. Everyone is racist, I guess. Anyway, The World--er, Wank--Is Yours!

You gotta love the broad generalizations in the thread title. I don't see how things could've gone anywhere but downhill from there.

I hate rap because the culture is intensely mysoginistic and all the songs sound the same. Does that work for you, or do I have to be educated now?

You've made references to this kllydkelly, but I think you are forgetting one vital fact here.

It makes me sad that most people only think there's one style of rap music out there.

But then I guess that's just what the majority of people get exposed to (i.e. the misogynistic, violent shite that gets overplayed on the radio) and if you don't like that, then you're not going to be too pushed to go out there and find out about the other sorts of rap-based music out there (which is miles better).

... Yeah.

Wonder what kllydkelly would say about a black man who knows the lyrics to more Rush or Lynyrnd Skynyrd songs than knows the names of Jay-Z or 2Pac songs*, can't remember the last time he listened to a rap album and didn't think "This song was okay; the rest sucked" and can't think of a single rap act** that isn't coasting on a reputation made 15 years ago, isn't a complete rip-off of someone else style and/or doesn't flat out suck? (Probably something about "self-loathing"... Possibly an "oreo" tossed in...)

That being said, the appeal of Scarface to the Gangsta crowd is much like that of your young romantics invoking Romeo And Juliet as the romantic ideal: You see the highlights (Poor tough guy guns his way to fame and fortune) and ignore (or are ignorant of) the rest of the story (how many friends Tony screwed over or killed to get where he was. The aforementioned bloody end)

And that beings said, everyone there could use a tall glass of STFU.

*and I like Jay-Z and 2Pac!
** Ludacris being the only exception I can think of.

I don't know why this is an issue but it's obvious. If a white person hates rap(especially if they are black rappers) than they are racist. Even the racist who do listen to it only do it so they wouldn't look like the racist that they are.

Why aren't there people on the Clockwork Orange boards deriding the punk culture for glorifying the rape and murder in that film? Oh, right, because the "punk" representatives right now are Good Charlotte or whatever the fuck. Still, there are negative aspects to every subculture and you can't define an entire genre of music by the shit that's on MTV. 50 Cent is not Sage Francis.


Ahem. Pardon the wanking.

Since when does hating rap makes one racist??!!

I don't like rap, no matter if it's Eninem or Tupac, because I don't like the sampling and there's hardly no melody. The End. There's nothing more to it!

I mean, there are other black-oriented musical genres like R&B and my most favorite jazz that most people like. ...But I guess those are boring.:/

If hating rap makes someone racist does the fact that I hate Italian opera mean that I think all people from Italy are evil?

What if someone hates New Age? Then what are they? Do they hate hippies?

And hating musicals must mean that you think everyone from New York and London needs to die a horrible death. *nods*

And what does Jurassic 5 qualify as now: Hip Hop or Rap? Because I love me some Jurassic 5.

If you really wanted to do it that way then there'd be almost no music for white people because a lot of the genres were created by black musicians just fooling around and experimenting. And since some genres are offshoots of others, the blacks would conquer all in this risk-style genre game.

In the end, the white folk would be left with country and polka.

So nope, doesn't work. Much happier with a free-for-all music scene.

Oh, so I'm a racist now. Nice to know. And to think I thought I hated rap/hip-hop for the same reason I hate disco, bossanova, and doo-wop: they take a theme that might or might not have some promise, and then thrash it to death before resurrecting it like the Doctor and doing it all over again.

And the Doctor's cuter.

THE BAD GRAMMAR IS MAKING MY HEAD HURT.

I LOVE people who bash on rap just so they can go cry in their little room with their black eye make up and complain about things while they listen to their death metal.

...right. What about those of us who prefer cheesy '80s pop and Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra and so on? And how come everyone fails to realize that musically metal and rap are like, distant cousins as rock and roll has its origins in country (GASP WHITE MUSIC!) and jazz (GASP BLACK MUSIC!)?

...and why is it that my brother has never seen Scarface or The Godfather, yet he wears t-shirts with Tony Montana and whoever Marlon Brando played (Vito Corleone?) because 50 Cent apparently worships those movies?

Why do all the rappers relate to this[the film Scarface?]
More phallic symbols than you can shake a stick at?

So... here's the thing, though, many of the most vocal critics of Rap have the same issues with it that people had with Rock (and before that Swing and Jazz) when it was first up and coming. It promoted amoraliy, fast living, blah blah blah, until it got a face on it that people could approve of, Elvis. Then it became so white washed that people don't know that Rock 'n Roll is an off shoot of Blues (which is an off shoot of Jazz). Rap/R&B are really the only mainstream genres of music that has managed to not be wholly appropriated away. And I'm not trying to say it's bad to hate Rap, I'm not real fond of much of it myself, I'm just curious as to why Rap gets saddled with causing all the ills of society when Rock's just as bad. Lyrically, musically and in the behaviours of the people who perform it.
