Rap

[daykareboards]

I can't stand people who dont listen to any rap normally but turn it way up when they are in thier car because it has bass... i have a few friends who listen to hard rock normally, but when they are in thier cars they listen to rap bacause it booms and they want attention...why not get a set up so it sounds good and hits to the kind of music you like? it just annoys the crap out of me... it doesnt make sense to spend all that money on a system to listen to music you dont like... this annoy any1 else? i just had to post it because a buddy of mine bought his first system and he listens to tool and shadows fall and stuff but today he goes out and buys 3 rap cds because it will hit. just doesnt make sense to me

hmm... i dont like rap that much, or bass music... but i get as much as i can (as long as i like the beat and $hit)... but i usually listen to rap when it comes to subs... not for attention, mostly because i just love bass... but Metal all the way as far as im concerned..

There is worse out there, I've seen a lot of people talk all day about how much they hate black people (using every obscenity they can), then go to their truck and pop a Lil Jon CD in.

The south will rise again! ...as soon as "get low" is over...

I think thats hilarious because i think they need to do something about rap effecting todays youth but i listen to it lol. I have common sense so i wont go shooting up houses which has started happening since all the trash is moving into our once nice neighborhood.

Lil Jon makes me hate black people, too. *grin*
ok not really. I like black people. I just hate lil jon. I think his name was derived from his nickname given to him by his last girlfriend. "Its so little!"

Maybe we could get Lil Jon, all of Weezer, and Celine Dion to take a plane ride together, and do a stirring rendition of the Buddy Holly demise.

After that, we just need to get rid of fitty cent and nelly.. and maybe Jay Z, too.

Don't forget P Diddy, the Yin-Yang twins, Ja Rule. And of course Nelly, Lil Jon, and Fifty Cent. All marginal talent and they sell out enough to make Vanilla Ice seem undermarketed, then they come and brag about it on the next CD. I don't know what's worse, the fact that they aren't talented or the fact that the public eats up the fake sing-songy raps, simple rhymes, and pop beat (with more bass).

What about the greatest ever...like 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G., Dr. Dre.

All excellent artists...the old skool $h!t is the way to go!!!

The great ones are the ones that end up getting shot. It makes you wish it was the other way around.

yeah I like old Run DMC, NWA, PE, even Dre, 2pac, etc.. they had some good material, and a lot of them had an honest message about growing up and their surroundings, or political statements they wanted to make known that nobody from their surrounds had a means to express in any other legal, non violent medium that got nearly the same attention. Now it's just repetitious crap about how much money, drug, cars, and women they can get.. or any combination thereof along with how tough they think they are.

There are some good current artists out there in Hip Hop, but most of them are overshadowed by the Payola Pride groups named above, and their massive money backing from Viacom, Sony, T-W, etc.
