this whole straight edge rap seems bullshit to me, can't help it.Originally Posted by xcriterionmasterxstraight edge can be rap, since my feeling is most rap ripped off hardcore anyways. the lyrical content, "having a message", etc. and if they rap about straight edge things and are straight edge, then i count them. their talent wasn't hardcore, it was rapping, that doesn't mean they weren't heavily influenced by hardcore, it just means they wanted to rap about straight edge rather than scream about it. and xreign of terrorx raps during hardcore songs, too. and is the guitarist of some hardcore bands. so obviously he is involved with hardcore.
well, the site has many lists, and many of them i have used over the years. they are basically like for information and whatnot. and i noticed there were many many punk/hardcore lists, but no one had ever made a straight edge list. so i decided to. i know it is never going to be "complete", because that is fucking impossible, with all the local bands from different areas and whatnot. but it is a fun thing for me to try and do, and hopefully people will look at it, and be able to see the progression of straight edge, too. with teen idles/minor threat, to youth crew, hardline, metalcore straight edge, youth crew revival, some sxe rap, even some straight edge grindcore. :]
and i will take anti-flag and cfa off, thanks. and the vegan bands.
