ruining my visit

ugh...i went 2 media play one day hoping 2 find Foo Fighter's new dvd/ep 'Low' and only found 50 cent...that reatard rapper...just out of curiousity...how many of u guys hate rap as much as i do?

Me.

Rap, Pop, Hip-hop are the worst forms of music.
They give music a bad name.

Whats even worse is when people try to blend rock and rap, like Linkin Park or Limp Bizkit or whatever.

Awww, did the evil rapper ruin your 'visit'? Nothing milk and a cookie won't fix... :)

I think rap is the most laborious, repetitive, moronic form of music available!
LOL to my girlfriend- she likes... erm.. that joker named after choclate covered peanut! (eminem), they, unlike him are big in the UK!

Rap doesn't bother me bit! [u]As long as I don't have to listen to it[/u]! :)

The fastest way to get me to turn green, bulk up immensely, and start trashing things, is to pull up beside me at a stop light with cRAP bass booming so loud that I can't even hear my bike motor!

:mad: :eek: CRUSH! KIIILLLL!!! DEESTROOOOOYYYYY!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :eek: :mad:

To me, Rap and Hip-hop are the same old cRAP that retards blast through there brainless head... Pop is just the same...To me Rap and Pop should not be considered 'music'...more lyke poser posse's or sumthin...real music is sumthin u can bang ur head 2 and really say 'wow! thats great!'...but rap and pop take that joy away from us...

I like some rap, I like words, poetry etc. and alot of rap is lyrically superior to what youll find in rock circles. People like Eminem who, although he is subject to alot of controversy, I think will be remembered in years to come as a great american poet, along with people like Chuck Berry and Bob Dylan. Yeah, theres alot of crap there, mainly stuff about "bitchez" and money(what my brother listens to) but his collection has opened my ears to alot of different music.. Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, Eminem, Ice Cube, Busta Rhymes, NWA... and I think alot of people on this board could do with opening their own ears(not directing this at anyone in paticular), theres lessons in hip hop music that can be applied to rock music very well, it doesnt have to tun out like Limp Bizkit. I find rap beats go well with power pop structured songs.

I kinda like it when Eminem gets away with the stuff he says, I personally dislike critics, so when an artist ticks them off, I like it. But there is probably two rap songs I could listen to. I dont really care what they say, what turns me off is the annoying beats and cheasy keyboard samples they call melodies.
But, I guess with like other forms of music, there are good ones and mad ones.
Come to think of it I saw Kid Rock do a song with Run DMC, which wasn't very rappy except for the lyrics, there were no beats or anything, except the drums, and the guitars were nice and chunky, like they should be, not some stupid Limp Bizket type riffs, and I kinda liked it.
Yep, good ones and bad ones I guess.

don't mine Rap, sometimes. However i would much rather a nice metal riff, or some AC/DC.

Let me show u some very made up lyrics:

I can taste the blood on my fingers...
I can feel the hate in my soul...
I feel nothing can destroy me...
Nothing can take control...

I will kill...eat flesh for thrill..
drink blood that spills onto my lips
it lures me to its corner...
Takes me for a ride...
Where will i go next...
hehehe...HELL...SATAN...DEATH...BLOOD...!!!!!!!!!!!!

and look i make that just now dint use any cuss words and, at least to me this is powerful...can rap do that?

That seems just as run of the mill in a metal song as talking about your bling bling and your Bently in a rap song. ;)
No offence, I can't write lyrics at all, so who am I to talk?

yea i do suck at writing lyrics prettyy...but i hope i proved my point...besides im a guitarist not a singer...

Man, this thread his hilarious, seriously. If you want to be bashing complete styles of music like pop and hip hop, at least have some knowledge on the matter.(watching MTV or listening to popular radio does not equal knowledge)
I'm not an expert on hip hop nor pop music, but at least I know enough about it to realize that I'd make a fool of myself if I claimed both pop and hip hop as an entity were total crap.

Whoever said that "real music is music you can bang your head to" had me laughing harder than I was already, thank you for that. :)

Yes, it can, and often is.

NWA wrote Fúck The Police as a reaction to race riots in Los Angeles in the late 80s/early 90s(Im bad with dates), and its an inspirational gut reaction of anger. The structure of the song, a courtroom scene, is more innovative than anything Ive heard in rap/metal circles in years... its brilliant. Now heres some powerful lyrics...

Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's forgetting
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's chokin, how everybody's jokin now
The clock's run out, time's up over, blouww!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
Is he? No
He won't have it , he knows his whole back city's ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stacked that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

The soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is borin, but superstardom's close to post mortar
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
His bosses don't want him no mo, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it's old potna, but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da

No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motha****in roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebody's payin the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cuz man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
See dishonor caught up bein a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screamin on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another jam or not
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only mothafúckin option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trail has got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got

You can do anything you set your mind to, man

Yeah, he swears a few times, but in this song at least it compliments the words, enhances the feeling of anger, frustration... he may not talk about eating corpses, but it works for me :)

im sorry but i just dont like plain rap... i like Linkin Park and Body Count and other stuff like that ....but no tplain rap...and it really annoys me how ppl just cant get wut im tryin2 say and ignore all the @#$!in details... i mean seriously, i proved my point, didnt i? I just dont like rap or pop...OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nah, Im pretty sure youve made several points and havent bothered to explain them at all

Truth! Thanks for giving me a chance to read that. I try to be open to new musical experiences, but I have a real problem getting past the 'music' to get at the lyrics.

I used to classify the whole genre as "drum machines & bad poetry". So you've proven that there's good poetry out there... I'm just not sufficiently motivated to wade into the scene that goes with it.

okay...maybe i shouldnt have started this thread... all i wanted was to kno who doesnt lyke rap and why and who does...
