Anti-White Rap Lyrics

If you are like us, your exposure to rap or hip-hop “music” may have thus far been limited to hearing it — at maximum volume — from neighboring automobiles stopped at traffic lights. While even this much exposure may seem unendurable at times, we owe it to ourselves to investigate this often hate-filled medium to see just what these performers and, perhaps most especially, their well-heeled capitalist record companies have in mind for us. We are grateful to the Violently Racist Music website for the list of violent rap and hip-hop lyrics below, each of them recorded by performers who have earned a Grammy award, the music industry’s highest honor. We must warn you that the passages quoted below are not intended for children or the faint-hearted.
