I had never heard of this guy before today, can someone give me an example of some hit he's made
Rap for the most part is garbage, imo, and just because he knows more than me, phil collins was once asked by david letterman what he thought of rap, he said it was not music. In general it pushes filth and negativity, is purchased by people in general who should be spending their money more wisely and it has a lot to do with criminal culture.
A lot of people get rich because parents don't do their job. Most of this crap and other stuff is bought by children who should be supervised better.

Rap is poetry in form of music, and I'm noot talking about the commercial 50 cent rap you guys see on MTV.
It is all ways you ignorant/snobbish guys who get verbal diarrhea and talk tons of crap about everything you dislike or don't understand. I and several of my friends have been listening to rap our entire childhood and we are doing great academically and socially. Our parents couldn't have supervised us better.
You on the other hand could have been supervised better by your parents. You know absolutley nothing about respecting whats different.

Respecting what's different is what you call your above statement, insults and personal attacks. But that is what rap is all about, isn't it?
Rennteam has always been characterized by civility even when disagreeing. I have heard rap for years, I think its crap in general. It has nothing to do with intelligence just like and dislike.
If you choose to listen to rap as you drive your porsche to school that's fine with me. As i type this, the great snoopy dogg is dancing around with his gold chains on Mtv. Great stuff from that fine role model.

Either way it is okey no to like rap and some of rap videos see on TV do indeed give children the wrong picture of life. Eventhough I love rap and r&b music with all my heart I don't agree I'm not fond of many rappers' way of living. Still we humans always see what we want to see. If you choose to focus your eyes and ears on the guns and barely dressed women in the videos then that's what you will see.
There are thousands of rappers and not all of them rap about guns, drugs, cars and women. The same way not all Hard Core Rock&Roll artist paint they faces white, drink blood and revome one set of ribs from their bodies. Or that House music is only enjoyed by people high on extacy.

Apparently class and style don't come as standard equipment when your talent turns you into a multimillionaire.
Check this image. Talk about bad taste.
Perhaps he should spend some of his $$$ on a face transplant and a stylist?

Dr. Phil said:Some of these guys may be wealthy as hell, but they are still goons - now thery are just rich goons living in expensive mansions.
While this producer fella with his many $$ and great cars may just be seen as an "original" who lives life the way he wants to (which is his choice to make), I see him as a former poor pothead who is now a rich pothead.
He is clearly an influential person in the music business, so why not use this position to convey another message than "use your talent to make $$, then spend most of it on material goods and dope" ?
I know the old saying "you can take the man out of the trailerpark, but you cant take the trailerpark out of the man" - but style/class is not really the important issue here.
But I do believe that many rap icons set incredibly poor examples for kids to follow.
This guy the thread is about, sitting in his million dollar car and looking stoned out of his mind is just another example.

He sure does live up to his nick name. The points made in his post are very reasonable. Although I as a rap fan always stand up and try to defend the culture I agree with the fact that the majority of rap songs and videos gives children a very wrong and unrealistic picture of life.
The reason why many of them talk so much about guns and drugs is that guns and drugs have been a part of their lives. Many rappers were given a life they didn't choose, i.e born into poor families and growing up in wrong neighborhoods. Some of them actually had to sell drugs to survive and use guns to protect their business. Then I also have to warn you and tell you that a huge percentage of rap is fiction. There are a very tiny percentage of rappers who have actually lived what they rap. You can even go as far as call some of them actors.
Scott Storch on the other hand is an innocent dude. He isn't a gangster. What he mainly does is produce beats. Do children take after what rappers do and talk about int heir videos? I don't think so. There are many who try to by buying fake Jacob.co watches and try to be pimps but can't even handle a woman.
Lastly you can't really blame these "rock stars" from endugling themselves in obscene luxury. Especially I you grew up as a broke Joe. Then there are those who clearly don't know how to act with their money. As some of you mihgt know money can buy almost anything but it can't buy you class.

Fair enough. I do realize that most of the time rap is harmless, but it's exactly the commercialized stuff (which you've already pointed out in an earlier post) that gives it a bad name. I'm not a fan of hip-hop or rap, but I can appreciate that people like the music. What bothers me is that the famous rappers, regardless of whether they've actually lived the lives they rap about or not, are setting a bad example for youth which is growing up right now. That's what I strongly agree about with Lasse.
As for Mr. Storch, I will not touch on his talent as I'm sure he's very accomplished in his field of work, but it's the way he displays his wealth that is just wrong. Flaunting it in the open is an indicator that, as you've said, money doesn't buy class. In any case, nice to see that there hasn't been any name calling in this thread.

No, owning nice cars, planes, etc. is no problem at all. It's just the posturing. Smoking and trying to look badass seems really out of class for me, same goes for dressing like a Russian mobster and posing in your bathroom. Of course our perceptions differ, but I stand by my observation, as I personally don't perceive these photos to
show class. There are many people, who are much richer, but are not so "in your face" about it. Naturally you have your own opinion and very likely disagree with me, so take this as my personal observation.
And the cigarette burn inside a 1-million-Euro vehicle... Sure, he paid for it, but come on!

Quote:you don't even see your own prejudice, but it clearly comes through in your post above.
Dr. Phil said:Yes, agreed,
One aspect is the lack of class and style. That's just a matter of taste.
Another aspect is the whole "I am rich enough to do what I want. You cant touch me. If I wanna smoke weed in this PR photo I do so. You cant touch me. I am king of my own bathroom".

the doc phil reference was a joke in light of your avatar and not meant to be taken seriously.:D
saying he "looked stoned" when he just looks relaxed and you can't see his eyes from sunglasses is another example of your preconcieved opinion.
i think you know what i meant by the dvd burning.
why quote the proverb if you dont believe it?
deniability?

Exactly. RENNTEAM is about cars. And isn't it great that this Storch guy is buying all those nice cars and drives them?
