....is short for crap, rap is not music, it's a butchered, contorted form of talking fast with a rhythm behind. As already mentioned Flo Rida butchered one of the greatest songs of the 80's, in fact greatest songs EVER and made it sexual, Pete Burns must be spinning in his bed! It cannot be music as music requires notes, instruments etc. rap doesn't, rap requires the ability to talk at a reasonably fast pace which I could do, now all I need to do is talk about "hos", "ganstas" and being rich and I could be a star, please, if you listen to rap, convert to real music.

Also I'm pretty sure your cherished original version of "Spin me right round" has a sexual message behind it. Also you state that music has to have notes, well I'm pretty sure when you make a beat to something that counts as a note, and instruments from a keyboard can sound right if done right which in most cases they are. Then there you go again with the "Fast Talking" again. It's not all about being able to talk in time to the beat to keep rhythm, but it also is rhyming creatively and using such to send a message to the listener. We've all already said that the newer rap artist's raps have less luster than the older BECAUSE they do rap about such things instead of conveying a message to the public. Umm, your last statement was just as bad as some deranged preachers out there. No offense to those who are religious, but I've run across a couple "opressive" religious people who would force it upon you if they can and it's not pretty lol. My point is don't go telling people what and what not to listen to. It's not your call. |

ok then i was wrong about the rapping part as being talking fast to a tuneless rhythm then, bit the contents is still disapproving of my mind
and as for the bit which people keep commenting on: Quote:

as for those 3 songs you listed, i could only here one since two were not availiable in this country. and as for the point about how rappers are actually quite unified, i was actually more thinking towards the fans, not the actual rappers themselves. i mean like i say, with these rap battles and cussing contests its not very good for making friends wit others. and then when revolving scott said what he just said, while a agree with him in some of his points, i also disagree with his approach, since im in a fairly soberish mood right now, even though i dont actually drink or anything. scott let them listen to rap if they want, personally i think they are running out of things to sing about anyway im afraid, no offense again guys ill leave it there, with eminems song "lose yourself to the music" going round my head quite ironicly Last edited by grimfang999; 04-19-2009 at 10:42 AM. |

no, there is a general specific reason for it:
alot of the people on this site are/were the outcasts in school. most teenagers and children today listen to rap, and those who differ are rejected. we normally flee to the internet, a place where we can speak our feeling anonymously and have more chance of finding people who share the same view. basicly, rap is the major popular catagory in reality, and the other people mwho have been discriminated for not liing it and listen to something else retreat to the internet. LK was also a reject in school im assuming, and so other people with similar experience to him, unwittingly or not, flock to him. like i just said, however, rap is the main catagory, and because we are rejected by people who listen to rap, we tend to develop a hatred for those people, and it soon spreads to the whole catagory due to those people. overall you cant really blame us, but the people who brought us to this |

the great to me, but the thing is you have to look underground, rap an't a style that can go mainsteam and still be good, check out ill bill, narsicist, atma, immortal technique, atmoshpere, eyeda (aka one of the best freestyle rappers in the world), plan b, v double o, example, the wu-tang, nas and grand master flash

true, which is why people do that this hate towards rap, i have to admit, some rap is nice, it's the mainstream i can't stand, and i agree, it should never have gone mainstream

rap never did! real rap/hip-hop will ALWAYS be underground, why? because when ANY artist goes mainsteam the lyrics are dumb down for the massise, i mean just look at lil wayne, he USED it be decent but then came lilpop, now he's a sellout, green day are another good example, listen to brat, 16, sacatted, 80, andriod etc thats the REAL green day

green day used to be rap? but they are punk...
well sadly it is annoyingly, with teenagers anyway, im one of the few who listens to rock and metal, and a few other genres well, mainstream rap is bad, thats just what i mean, real rap will stay underground |

i was giving green day as an example of music that had better lyrics when the artist was underground, and they were never punk, the were 90s grunge, emo, alternative and rock. i should know im a huge fan of the old music.
im the same, most of the kids i know wont STFU about it, "turning the emo shit off", its metal not bisexaul romance, toki hotel or painc at the hair salong, i hate most emo music (other than blackfeild, atmoshpere and green day) and how is metallica emo??? if you said that at at a metallica concert the fan would kill you |

indeed, i mean, their music is not about "oh i want to die", i would actually say green day is more punk than emo, they have that edge to their music which has punk sounds to it. it is really frustrating how people say metal is emo. machine head are not about dying, they are about peace, a fair amount of time. evanescence is mostly about love, but performed in a slightly gothic sounding way. there is nothing in rock or metal which even remotely connects to emo, aside from a song here and there.
but thats the thing about rap, hip-hop and R&B. a great deal of the mainstream songs are unnessessary. example is that recent hit "make love in this club" is a typical urban song of inappropriate content which is played on most radio stations aside from ones focused on specific genres |

metal and rap an't even my fav gerne of music, prog/art rock at the momment is fav, i like dreamer threater, porupine tree, the creation, lesbian, tranquail dream etc. no one at my school has even heard of prog music (there are no mainstam prog band, singles yes, bands no) mostly because prog songs are long, dream theater songs are usaully 8 - 10 min long, porupine tree songs are 6 - 9 and lesbians shortiest song is 8 min long. so most kids dont have an attention spane long enough to listen to there songs

i understand your point, i guess thats because rap songs are never more than four mins. personally im not too much of a fan of dream theater, but i like long songs, like dragonforce and nightwish epics. i think the reason why i find dream theater a little dull is that their songs are a bit calm, but yet again i have only heard pull me under. well im going to the download festical and they are playing there, might see what they have to offer
