Do you like rap music?

[thecreech]

I have alot of rap in my cd collection but i am very picky. I hate that Glam rap shit. Like Nelly, Puffy daddy and Jay Z. The good rap they never play on tv or radio Like the Black eyed peas or the Roots. Old cypress hill stuff is pretty good and busta rhymes old stuff was real good to. Eminem is ok... he is funny to say the least but i would never buy one of his cds

I'm wondering how everyone feels about rap music. I don't like it, but I'm probably in the minority. What do you think about it?

KILL, KILL KILL, KILL THE WORTHLESS SCUM WHO SPEW THAT SHIT FORTH! DIE DIE DIE DIE YOU WORTHLESS FUCKBUCKETS

Seconded.

Rap occasionally throws out a few gems, the same way you'd probably find something valuable if you searched through enough cow shit with your bare hands.

[RedImperator]

People who are knowledgable about rap will tell you the same thing people who are knowledgable about rock will: the shit you hear on the radio is commercial garbage. Before you piss all over rap, consider: would somebody who heard nothing but Avril Lavagine, Papa Roach, and Creed get a good impression of rock? You may not like the style (I mostly don't myself) but don't judge the entire genre on Jay-Z and Puff Daddy.

Should clarify that I was a white kid in a mostly black school in South Florida, so rap was prevalent at that time, with such perrinial favorites as, "Throw that Dick," and "Hey, we want Some Pussy" (Don't know if those were the actual titles to the "songs" or not, nor do I care to be enlightened). It was also a time when the HS kids brought Cadillac-sized ghetto blasters into school with them...

Go into mainly black schools and you'll still see Cadillac-sized ghetto blasters.

Except these are five times cheaper and five times more technologically advanced, therefore five times louder and more powerful! Yipe!

[Peregrin Toker]

From what I know, rap has very much to say about very little.

And I don't listen to it for that reason, except for a fat Danish rapper who goes by the nickname of "L. Ron Harald". He simply combines Jutlandian rural culture with urban rap culture in a way that's so bizarre, it's hilariously ridiculous.

Ghetto blaster are so 1980s i think you mean Boom-box.

What is the difference between rap and hip-hop? I honestly don't know.

Well er, i've never quite understood it, but rap is:

A form of popular music developed especially in African-American urban communities and characterized by spoken or chanted rhyming lyrics with a syncopated, repetitive rhythmic accompaniment.

and hip hop is:

Essentially what rap music came from, can be like rap music, but with instruments and the like, cypress hill and stuff is hip hop, i think. RATM consider themselves hip hop.

[El Moose Monstero]

Lets see now, I didnt like rap the first time I got it through the walls at Uni from the next rooms along... has my opinion changed any? Nope. Not a jot. Cant stand the new stuff, some of the old stuff I can just about tolerate, but then, I'm not sure that all of that is actually classed as rap.

[Iceberg]

RATM = capitalist phonies.

The Beastie Boys are pretty good.

[Lord Pounder]

It's only called rap coz the C fell off the start.

I like some. Very little. LL Cool J reminds me of better days. And some of Eminems lyrics can be very clever. But on the whole i can't stand the scene and the people in it. Any man that calls another dog as a term of endearment is asking to be shot.

[Rye]

RATM = capitalist phonies.

meh. Their songs are good.

The Beastie Boys are pretty good.

Which reminds me of bloodhound gang, what kind of man, what kind of insane half braincelled human being would not like the bloodhoung gang? Why, only a yoghurt.


a cookie for the one who gets the reference.

[Kamakazie Sith]

Oh, and the kid who sings 'I got the Magic Stick' needs to be euthanized.

That would be 50 cent.

The only reason I know this is because at Air Force Tech School the other airman there listened to it ALL THE FUCKING TIME.

[Darth Garden Gnome]

Everybody to the limit; The Cheat is to the limit; come on everybody fhqwghads!

Strong Bad pwnz.

Anyways, rap is garbage. Elvis would beat the unholy nonsensical "gansta, thug, shizzle" crap outta those punks without hesitation. That's why we need more people like Elvis today. Although my friend has this theory that Elvis was reincarnated into his ass, that's totally unsubstantiated. In closing talent = good.

[Mark S]

Meh. Some is ok, fun to listen to in the right mood, that kind of thing. Most just seems to be one guy after another bragging about how tough he is. Every time I see 50 cent I get the impression that Eminem and Dr. Dre made a bet that they could take the next moron they found and make him a star.

[SAMAS]

It's only called rap coz the C fell off the start.

And some would say the same about Rock.

Although I would say you should probably listen to the following before making any opinion about rap in general(And these tracks in particular, among others):

A Tribe Called Quest(Find a Way, Hot Sex, Scenario)

The Roots(The Next Movement)

Wu-Tang Clan(Da Mystery of Chessboxing, C.R.E.A.M., Gravel Pit)

Ludacris(Southern Hospitality, Move Bitch(You can stop listening after the second verse, though), Area Codes) -- Mainly because of his sense of humor, and rhyming skills.

Eminem(Lose Yourself, Won't the Real Slim Shady Please Stand Up?. Superman)

Ice Cube(Today Was a Good Day, Gangster Fairytale, Check Yourself)

Busta Rhymes(Fire, Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See, Dangerous(And check the video for this one, too!))

Black Eyed Peas(Joints and Jams)

De La Soul(Stakes is High, Me, Myself, and I, Dininint, etc...)

Wyclef Jean(We Trying to Stay Alive, To All the Girls, etc...)

Slick Rick(Children's Story, The Show, Ladi Dadi)

The Pharcyde(Passin' me By, Yo Mama)

The Notorious B.I.G.(Juicy, Hypnotize, Big Poppa)

Also:

Rapper's Delight(Sugar Hill Gang)

What's Up Doc?(Fu-Schickens feat. Shaquille O'Neal)

Daytona 500(Ghostface Killa(See also Wu-Tang Clan))

Walk This Way(Aerosmith and Run-DMC)

[ArmorPierce]

Go into mainly black schools and you'll still see Cadillac-sized ghetto blasters.

Not really...

[Tragic]

I myself love rap, hip hop and R&B. I know some of it are garbage. But i can say everything you guys saud about rap to rock. Just listening to that crap gives me a headache(well not all of it).

[thecreech]

The Notorious B.I.G.(Juicy, Hypnotize, Big Poppa)

You were doing so well with your list till you put these two in there but all joking aside Red I had it right. Most of you guys are probably basing rap off of what you hear on the radio and even some of the rap groups and bands SAMAS listed would agree that commerical rap sucks ass.

[CrimsonRaine]

I'm wondering how everyone feels about rap music. I don't like it, but I'm probably in the minority. What do you think about it?

It can be done well, but very rarely. 98% percent of the time, it sucks more than a toothless hooker.

Crimson Raine

[Lt. Dan]

Most of it sucks. There are a few(very, very few) rap songs that I like but I don't go looking for those songs on the radio or anything. I don't like the fact that there is hardly anything different. Most is about pimps, bitches, and "mo money".

[Kintaro]

I like about 3% of rap, and that shit that is played on the raido at work is so fucking annoying! I HATE that fucking magic stick song!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kuja]

I'm wondering how everyone feels about rap music. I don't like it, but I'm probably in the minority. What do you think about it?

I like a few individual songs, (Because I Got High, Lose Yourself, and What Would You Do, for example) but on the whole, I hate rap.
