Well now...10 mins ago I would have simply said, "I hate rap, it's not music, it sucks and I wish it would go away"! Interesting reading, opinions...perhaps I'm a bit more enlightened. Still not a fan but not quite as vehemently opposed to it now...which surprises me.

Seanathan03

rap sucks period....rock takes infinately more talent

costello

you even read what people posted sean?

Ya?...Well I think Rock sucks. More than half the threads in the music forum I don't have any interest in the type of music they are about...But I don't go into them and say....

"I think Rock Sucks"

If you have something to add to the discussion besides your Ignorance...Then feel free. But if you don't, The few of us that do like HipHop could do without your thought you posted above.

I am just getting sick of people posting "Rap Sucks' or "Rap Is Not Music" and all the other shit.

Don't bring the hate If you can't relate.

DownwardSpiral

Sean, I agree with you to an extent, actually. I'll say it again, I hate gangsta rap, and I think it sucks period, but as far as the non-mainstream stuff, I can't pass judgement on that because i've never heard it.

rap is good shiznit fo real yo :P

hehe, my friends and i joked one time that Rap evolved as such:

at the turn of the century, African Americans created Ragtime, which evolved into Jazz, both of which are wonderful kinds of music. The white folks promptly stole it for themselves.

So, they created Blues a bit later, in the 20's or so, and that eventually transitioned with country into rock, and was again promptly stolen by the white folks.

Now annoyed, the african americans created hip hop, fully acknowledging that it would again, be stolen by the white folks, and it was created with the sole intent of being so ridiculously stupid, that they could laugh at all the white folks who actually stole it or latched on to it.

and that's where they are now, rich, and secretly laughing at us.

No harm intended, i can appreciate some rap as artistry and music, but not all of it.

and of course the same couldnt be said about EVERY form of music on the friggin planet :P.

I used to listen to rap when i was younger. There are only a few good rappers. ones with originality and complicated lyrics. I hate rap that sounds the same, which today is, just about everything that comes out. Now i listen to rock. finally realized its just the far more superior genre of music, and now i just totally dispise rap. If it were up to me i would get rid of the whole genre of rap all together.

K-Wise

Ugh try again hot shot. You even listen to any underground hip hop? Go here www.undergroundhiphop.com, check out the singles section and peep one a every dude on the first page. I'm sure you'll find someone you like...the go to the search by artist and check out

Binary Star
K-Otix
J-Live
Clokworx
Living Legends
Jedi Mind Tricks
Mos Def
Pharoahe Monch
Canibus

etc. the list goes on theres dozens of talent lyricists out there who write extremely well and very good lyrics. Including myself. Such an insensitive comment as that is a slap in the face for anyone like me who doesn't fit your ignorant ass generalization. If ya'd make an effort you'd find the good in any genre no matter what. Be more open minded

Asta!!

this is a stupid argument...

lets mix things up a bit

person a likes cream soda
person b likes cream soda
person c likes sprite

you dont see person a and b getting mad because person c likes sprite... and they dont argue sprites right to exist either.. they just drink their cream soda and let sprite be...

so Person a and b, just drink your drink and let rap be

K-Wise

I'm sorry buddy...I know what you mean but perhaps you should go back and re-word your argument there because it makes no sense at all. Seriously.

Yeah I know what you mean. I used to listen to rock when I was younger. There are only a few good bands. Ones with amazing shredding and great solos. I hate rock that sounds the same, which today is, just about everything that comes out. Now I listen to rap. Finally realized it's just the far more superior genre of music, and now I just totally dispise rock. If it were up to me I would get rid of the whole genre of rock all together.

Rap is the most annoying garbage ever. Most of it is not even music but anyway that is just my opinion.

iamjero

does anyone believe that just beacuse they have money they stop breaking the law. i cant think of a single person with money that DOSENT break the law.

Well well, it has been revived lol. Let me see what I can come up with based upon the new posts.
Mix things up? All you've done is make a horrible comparison that makes no sense, nor relates to the topic in discussion.

Hmm, I don't see the point in this post at all.

Poor K-Wise, you've made this list how many times? lol



Yes, the people with money who break the law, believe that they stopped breaking the law.

I'll be waiting for your replies. . .

Rap exsists so the record companies can wring as much cash as possible out of gullible kids that want to be cool.

eminem is the only rap ill listen to. so i guess i dislike it for the most part but i still think it should be available for others to listen to...

I'm sorry....I hate people like you. Eminem is NOT the only good rapper out there. Check out any number of the artists I've posted up in this thread. I'm sure you'll like them just as much if not more than you like Mr. Eminem. Matter of fact there is no reason what so ever why you shouldn't unless you're one of the gimmik Eminem fans who like him cause he makes songs about slitting his wrists, raping his mom, and killing his x-wife asside from throwing a diss track to every artist under the sun. Thats not what makes an emcee good and thats not what makes Eminem good either. Now I'm not saying you said thats why you like him but if it is the reason then I'd rather have you not listening to rap music at all. If that isn't the reason and you like him because he isn't like all the other bullshit rappers out there then I'm happy that you are looking for hip-hop with something more which is exactly what the underground hip-hop world gives you. All I'm asking is to give it a chance. I'd send you songs of some of the many artists I like but I can't right now because we d/l a new version of iTunes that doesn't want to work for some reason.

Asta!!

Rap is no different from any other genre, there is good rap and bad rap.
Unfortunately it seems that the music industry insists on marketing poor quality, and that hurts the enjoyment of the genre. This is no different from rock and pop though.
True talent you have to look for, away from MTW and marketig hype.
Without having checked it out myself, i would imagine K-Wise's list to be a good starting point
