because that's how it's represented in the media in which it is delivered

Because its protrayed on the most powerful medium (tv) to be the key to all happiness. Plus people are greedy for attention and money in this money dominated world. If more people give you more attention, you are hence gonna feel more 'important' arent ya. You have power over the masses then. But power in the right hands....? hmmmm.....

Because the more subtle aspects of music are lost on most people?

That song 'Pimpin' All Over The World' by Ludacris summarises why I hate where we are heading so much. Creating a world popularising material things and making all tha lovely girls only want rich men

(im a single poor musician living with my parents

)

Lyrics:

Oh yeah....

Chorus:
The fancy cars,
the women and the caviar,
you know who we are,
cuz we're pimpin all over the world.
The fancy cars,
the women and the caviar,
you know who we are,
cuz we're pimpin all over the world.

Sing it hoes (hoes)
the world, the world, the world

Verse 1:
All over the world baby,
It's only right that I share my experiences with ya'll
cuz I been places you'd never imagine,
but I'm gonna start at home when I see a girl I like I walk straight up to her and I'm like:
Hey girl how ya doin?
You are the woman that I'm really pursuin
and I would like to get to know you
can you give me your name
if you jot down your number you'll get mine in exchange(hey)
See I'm the man in this town
and I hope you wouldn't mind if I showed you around,
so when you go to certain places you'll be thinkin of me.
We got people to meet and many places to see(hey)
Mmmmm I'm really diggin your lips
but be careful where you walkin when you're swing them hips.
I'm kinda concerned you'll be causin a crash
with your traffic jam booty heads
pausin so fast(hey)
I wouldn't trade you for the world I swear it.
I like your hair in every style that you wear it,
and how the colors coordinate with your clothes
from your manicured nails to your pedicured toes (Whoo....Oh yeah)

Chorus:
The fancy cars,
the women and the caviar,
you know who we are,
cuz we're pimpin all over the world.
The fancy cars,
the women and the caviar,
you know who we are,
cuz we're pimpin all over the world.

Verse 2:
You hear the song so dance,(x6)
don't always think I'm tryin to get in your pants(clears throught).
Cuz see me my pimpin's in 3D.
I'm takin you places you only see on TV.
Tryin to show you how you livin is trite,
how many guys you know can bring the Travel Channel to life?
One day we on the autoban swervin drivin,
next day we in the sun on the Virgin Islands.
If you wit me ain't no time to sleep
'specially at wet willy's on Miami beach
but I drop you off and pay you no attention
if I make it to Atlanta's Bronner Brothers convention.
Then, jump in the car and just ride for hours,
makin sure I don't miss the homecoming at Howard.
Hawaii to D.C.
there's plenty women to see,
so if your ass don't show up it's more women for me.

Oh yeah...

Chorus:
The fancy cars,
the women and the caviar,
you know who we are,
cuz we're pimpin all over the world.
The fancy cars,
the women and the caviar,
you know who we are,
cuz we're pimpin all over the world.

Verse 3:
I'm in New York at the Puerto Rican day parade,
then at night I'm in New Orleans drinkin hand grenades.
Outnumbered by the dozens at the Jazzfest,
then Mardis Gras all the women tryin to show me their chest.(hey)
I'm in Jamaica spendin massive bucks
while the ladies all beggin me to MASH IT UP!
I had sad beginnings when I rapped with no fans
now it's all happy endings on my lap in Japan.
I used to think that it was way too cold,
til I went to Canada and saw some beautiful hoes
now I hit the Caribana every year in Toronto,
then fly to Illinois
and get a taste of Chicago.
Oh yet and still,
you wouldn't believe your eyes if you went to Brazil.(But where the best at?)
Ain't no need in even askin bro
the best women all reside in Africa and that's real.(Whoo...Oh yeah)

Chorus:
The fancy cars,
the women and the caviar,
you know who we are,
cuz we're pimpin all over the world.
The fancy cars,
the women and the caviar,
you know who we are,
cuz we're pimpin all over the world.

Sing it hoes (hoes) The world, the world, the world

Bridge:
Pimpin pimpin pimpin,
ladies and gentlemen as we ride out,
could we have all the real pimps,
Please put both of your pinky fingers high in the air,
now ladies look around wit me, lets see if
We can weed some of these niggas out,
cause it's no way that all these niggas
could be pimpin,
If you happen to see a nigga wit two sweat patches up under his arms,
look like he been swimmin
In shoulder height water,
please tell that nigga,
put yo hands down,
if you smell like you been
At work all day
and Drakkar,
please put your hands down,
now look up at the pinky fingers that are still in the air,
if you see him ashy around the knuckles,
like the nigga wash half of his hands and lotion three quarters of his body,
please say put yo hands down,
if yo spinnin rims
Spin counter clockwise,
you are not pimpin,
if you are dancin on the dancefloor
and you look to
Yo left and yo right and there is not a woman in sight,
guess what
you guessed it you are not pimpin,
if your Vodka and cranberry is really really dark like blood,
that's because you did'nt order Vodka buddy,
that's why it's three dollars a glass,
put your hands down,
now look down,
I need everybody to pull up your pants leg one time ok,
you see the nigga wit the white socks NOT PIMPIN!
sorry unless you tryna do the Beat It entorauge.

The simple and full answer is that people are completely and utterly f**ked.

core · Post by **core** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 9:16 am

why do people think sports are about fame and fortune?
why do people think movies are about fame and fortune?

Some of the bigger players in these areas of entertainment display fame(?) and fortune continually, so kids think that's what it's all about.

Idolizing (loving unquestioningly and uncritically) leads to fame & fortune, and people love idolizing.

I'm only in it for the drugs, the beotches, the teen boys and the give'aways. I dont care about fame and fortune, since I'm already rich as a troll.

Anyway, if you get infamous, would getting famous cancel that out?

Why do so many people think music is about fame and fortune?
