I weep to think what happened to mainstream hip hop since corporations took a bite out of the movement and turned it into the cesspool that's seen today.

I think these are the examples of capitalist music.

[Dr Mindbender]

why is rap 'capitalist'?

At least for the most part, it plays lip service to class conciousness. Compare that to the mullet headed 'everythings alright' you can reach for the stars mindless optimism of the afforementioned prog-rockers.

I never said all rap is capitalist, and it certainly didn't start that way. I was just saying how a progressive movement managed to be derailed once greedy companies caught on to the music's rising popularity.

Real hip hop is out there, but it's underground and gets no signifcant recognition on radio, tv. etc.

I hope you can see how a person rapping for 4 minutes about the blood diamonds in his mouth, spinning hubcaps on his expensive car, and bragging about his extensive wealth is the poster child for capitalist music.

Very, very true.

The fact that these guys are more concerned about their "low ridaz" and "hos" than their brothers in color being locked up for being black shows how deluded they are.

RATM and Crass for making anti-capitalism seem boring.

Pussycat Dolls; When I grow up. My sister plays it incessently. Here's an exert.

When I grow up
I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star
I wanna be in movies
When I grow up
I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars
I wanna have boobies
When I grow up
I wanna see me
Me on TV
People know me
Be on magazines
When I grow up
Fresh and clean
Number one chick
Wanna step out
On the scene

[cleef]

i noticed when the grime scene lost its soul was when they started releasing songs like this

WILEY: Cash in my pocket

Won’t waste my money
No, i see a new path
Making new money now i got a new laugh (ha)
Music is playing me well, so i ain’t gonna be the one to find a new craft
If it ain’t for you find a new path
If you can’t hack it, better find a new class
Triple Akon gotta find a new pass
Drive me not to do when i’m buying new cars
All i really want is money in my pocket
Cash in my hand yo
Skrilla in my Wallet
All i really want is money in my pocket
Cash in my hand ye
Skrilla in my wallet
A dog gets one he puts away half
So when i get one i’m gonna put away half
I make money slow i make money fast
Then back to the hood so i can have the last laugh
Still laughing cuz i know i’m not a half
When we release we don’t wanna half chart
The IQ is high some of them are half smart
But i do it like Ronson hard days craft
All i really want is money in my pocket
Cash in my hand yo
Skrilla in my Wallet
All i really want is money in my pocket
Cash in my hand ye
Skrilla in my wallet (ye ye ye)
Skrilla in my wallet (ye ye ye)
Skrilla in my wallet (ye ye ye)
All i want is that cheese i’m tryna get that cheddar
Cuz money make the world go round
All i need is that bread with a little bit of a butter
Cuz i really need those pounds
So i counted it once and i put some in my pocket
And counted it twice then i make sure not to drop it
I got a London attitude don’t care
I don’t hear in my head by so many years in family crying out so many tears no way i’m gonna be broke yeah
Got money for the next year next year next year next year and the year after
Rides a marter like Shaun Carter and the Wayne Carter
But next year im gonna step up a gear and go harder
You know me im a master i cause disaster, i cause disaster
Anywhere on earth find money like anywhere i surf
Plus anywhere i lurk the ropes have earned the right to choose any stage anywhere i murk anywhere i am alert
Wanna make a decision, like being back in school doing revision.
All i really want is money in my pocket
Cash in my hand yo
Skrilla in my Wallet
All i really want is money in my pocket
Cash in my hand ye
Skrilla in my wallet

Such a shame wiley was quality back in the day, its as if he is being told what to say these days though...

Does "Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy" by Queen count?

"I can dim the lights and sing you songs full of sad things
We can do the tango just for two
I can serenade and gently play on your heart strings
Be your valentino just for you

Ooh love - ooh loverboy
What're you doin' tonight, hey boy
Set my alarm, turn on my charm
That's because I'm a good old-fashioned lover boy

Ooh let me feel your heartbeat (Grow faster, faster)
Ooh ooh can you feel my love heat
Come on and sit on my hot-seat of love
And tell me how do you feel right after-all
I'd like for you and I to go romancing
Say the word - your wish is my command

Ooh love - ooh loverboy
What're you doin' tonight, hey boy
Write my letter
Feel much better
And use my fancy patter on the telephone

When I'm not with you
I think of you always
(I miss those long hot summer nights)
I miss you
When I'm not with you
Think of me always
Love you - love you

Hey boy where do you get it from
Hey boy where did you go ?
I learned my passion in the good old
Fashioned school of loverboys

Dining at the Ritz we'll meet at nine precisely
One two three four five six seven eight nine o' clock
I will pay the bill, you taste the wine
Driving back in style, in my saloon will do quite nicely
Just take me back to yours that will be fine (Come on and get it)

Ooh love, (There he goes again just like a good old-fashioned lover boy)
Ooh loverboy
What're you doin' tonight, hey boy
Everything's all right
Just hold on tight
That's because I'm a good old-fashioned fashioned lover boy"
