now, why are u comparing hairy potter to rap artists only, u biassed piece of shet? why not compare them to other things, like videogames or anime whose only fans are low life people.
and besides harry potter books is read at some schools. are there any rap artists who people study in school? fuck no. teachers buy harry potter books, and im talking class sets, about 25 books, 4 teachers buy a class set, thas a hundred already. and its not like their students want to read those books.
and who are tha target market of harry potter books? kids. and who are tha target market of rap albums? teenagers, grownups, all smarter than kids.
also harry potter is a family friendly book, it appeals to tha general public. rap on tha other hand hast mostly cussings and all that shit. now if u go to some music stores and ur under 18 and u pick up a rap album that says “parental advisory explicit lyrics”, will they sell it to? fack no!
well, i know for a fact that no video game has come within 100 million sales of harry potter, and anime doesn’t sell. lets try manga.
well, i really can’t find any manga sales. but, i doubt that they are that much over a million.
i mean really, show me anything popular thats really outselling harry potter. 250 million is a huge audience.
raps main audience is retards who don’t like anything beyond surface level for their music.
psh, like all 250 million of those books have been read from cover to cover. jus cuz u sold 250 million books doesnt mean u got 250 million readers. and even if u did doesnt mean all tha consumers liked tha books. look at me i bought tha first four books, back wehn i was in middle school, and now i regret it.
plus, really, theres a lot of hype surrounding harry potter, like i said in tha other topic, its overrated. whats so great about it? its jus a book. really, its not how much books u sell, its how much u inspire. how has harry potter inspired u? how has it inspired anybody? can u find any records of people its inspired?
as for rap, its not really relevant in this topic, ur tha one who brought it up. i wonder why u would do that, especially wehn u hate it so much.
but since u brought it up. how far have u ventured into its realm? ive been to ur harry potter books. how deep have u been into rap? as deep as tha radio can offer? please thas nothing. mos raps on tha radio is overrated too, like harry potter. as for inspiration, rap has done that. rap has inspired people to become rap artists theirselves. most of rap artists have gone from rags to riches. also rap has inspired kids to pick up tha dictionary, to increase their vocabulary. to learn about tha elements of poetry.
that can be said of any form of entertainment that is bought. sales reflect popularity, popularity reflects enjoyment.
there is more negative hype then positive hype that i have seen. i mean, just look at this topic.
i brought it in for some comparison to show just how popular the harry potter books are. a number is pointless unless you have something to bounce it off of, something to compare it to.
i try to avoid rap at any cost, so no, i haven’t ventured into that realm. but, who are you to say that harry potter hasn’t inspired anyone? and, something tells me that 90% of the time reading expands one’s vocabulary more then rap. but, again, i haven’t listened to rap, so i wouldn’t know. __________________

popularity, enjoyment. theres a ton of popular songs on tha radio and i dont enjoy them.
no i think theres more positive hype. read tha newspapers, tha internet, magazines. harry potter is all over tha place.
as for u bringing in rap, u coulda jus compared it ta sumthing else. something ur not usually biased against.
tha las paragraph. i never said harry potter has never inspired anyone. read again. but by my experience of tha books, all its done to me is keep me reading, which is a good thing of course, but thas about as good as it gets. rap got me into writing.

yeah harry potter sucks. he always gets help from other people. without it he would be dead. and tha fights are fuckin lame.
like, i remember tha first movie how he killed tha turban guy, he just fucking touched him man. wtf is that?
and tha chamber of secrets movie. if that bird dint come and blinded tha snake, he wouldve been snake food.
and tha story sucks too. its about freakin magic. theres no freakin rules. and it kinda also makes it ironic, because they can do something complicated but cant do simple things. i cant give examples now, its been a while since i read one of tha books.
but yeah he does suck.
dude i hate harry but the books are fucking awesome read them and all change ur mind and think it rules. 1 thing i like better than harry potter Eragon __________________

One example of how kids are smarter than teenagers is (assuming that you’re a teenager) that kids would at least know that 'the' takes as long to write as 'tha', and there really isn’t any point in writing 'tha'.
Sorry, it’s just pissing me off. uhmmm Guest Okay, first off... I doubt you have ever read the books, just seen the movies. Yeah, okay, so the movies aren’t as great as they seem. But the books are freaking amazing! Just take time to read the first book, and I’m sure you’ll love it. I mean who could not love Harry Potter?
Harry Potter is a series of fantasy, fiction, and thriller-mystery. And that’s what I love about the books, I love the imagination you get while you’re reading them and the visulizations. If Harry Potter wasn’t fantasty, and yes magical fantasty-like, I would probably not love it as much as I actually do.
I am a die-hard Harry Potter freak. So get used to it, and save some time to actually read the first book. Joined: 27 Nov 2007 Posts: 73 OFFLINE DoflamingoWannabe Rep: 0 Witch craft sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! __________________
