Looks like Hip Hop is getting a bad rap in Iran.
The Middle Eastern country has banned Hip Hop concerts indefinitely, according to The Jerusalem Post.
Iran’s spokesman for its Ministry of Culture and Islamic guidance, Hussein Noosh- Abbadi, recently expressed that the current regime views “this kind of Western music as a problem for [Iran’s] traditional music.”
“This music encourages wild behavior that could have a detrimental effect on society,” Noosh- Abbadi said.
Noosh- Abbadi and the Ministry of Culture have been cracking down for more than five years and they seem firm in their decision.
“We don’t want to have it,” he said. “And we will prevent any unwanted incidents normally associated with such concerts and other events.”
Yeah, I mean, aren’t they violent enough, by cutting off hands and heads?! No need for Hip hop to have them going any further. #GTFOH #SMGDH
This is why hiphop gets a bad rap. These towel head motherfuckaz more then willing to go explode bombs and kill schoolchildren and yet rap music is what causes society in iran to be all fucked up. makes sense
First of all the Iranian people are obsessed with hip-hop and bump more Pac and old school NWA then kids in america bumping shitty migos and young thug. It’s the GOVERNMENT not the people. Second of all Iranian Hip-Hop is legit underground cuz if they find the iranian rappers the government will kill them for their rhymes. I think that gives them credentials of being a true MC. No Iranian citizen has ever blown them selves up or kill schoolchildren. We dont kill our own kind just becuase they are wearing different colors or live 2 blocks away in a neighborhood we dont like. We dont go into elementary schools killing innocent children.
You Imbecile, Iranians are PERSIANS they are not ARABS
This is so true. Without hiphop I’d prolly be a doctor or a lawyer. Without hiphop I wouldn’t have bothered smokin’ that first blunt or getting high, none of that shit, and without hiphop I prolly wouldn’t have had sex before marriage. Damn, I love hiphop!!!
apparently…you had no say in the matter of what you would’ve been, w/o hip-hop, you would’ve been whatever your friends influenced you to be
Actually,iLL, I was being satirical. I’m not a believer in peer pressure, fact is though,hip hop is the foremost genre of music which promotes blunts, getting high and partying and fornicating.. not to mention the lavish lifestyles portrayed have easily misled many a youngster around the world.

“The Jerusalem Post”?????
ahah
Man the persian hip hop is getting bigger every day. we have rappers and producers who are working professional as good as the other countries. the persian hip-hop is made for the same reason that american hip-hop had. we respect for legendery rappers like tupac, B.I.G, Easy E , Ice T And …. . Our generation hates war. we love the art of rap but no body cares what does a middle east guy like. we hip-hop family are together all around the world. dear hiphopdx, I can give u the links of best persian hiphop tracks.
Public Enemy deserves to perform in Iran. Iranian hip-hop needs to be promoted to American urban audiences.
Is it supposed to cure the crime rate? If it does i’m ok with that.
“Religious texts written over a thousand years ago that are interpreted literally today encourage wild behavior that could have a detrimental effect on society”
Let’s ban religion.
Let’s ban STUPIDITY and people like you.
Let’s ban COCKSUCKING and people like you.
Exactly, that’s what’s wrong with it, I’m 25 I see it for what it is, it’s a problem to society. That’s why my generation doesn’t have morals, and wanna walk around acting like a bunch of thugs.
