Your opinion on rap

[King Avallach]

One joke says it all

Q"Why is Rap music called Rap?"
A"The "C" was missing on the printers

Rap music is absolutely cringe worthy, how can people even call it music? Now I listen to Reggae, I listen to Jazz, I listen to Classical, I listen to Rock, I listen to Indie, I listen to Metal and I listen to Folk but even one of my eclecticised taste in music likes something of drama and limited lyrical skill rather than a pointless rant consisting of crap neologisms and lyrics based on pride of things of which humanity as a whole should be ashamed of. That is the extent to which I absolutely dispise that garbage.>_<

 

[Baby Devil]

I used to like it but I don't cuz I really got to realize that they disrespect women.

 

[The dark knight]

Yeah because all women do is whine and want everything.They are greedy!

 

[King Avallach]

And all rappers do is act like ****ing asshole ****er *******s (pardon me):lol:

 

[The dark knight]

Im getting alittle ticked from these comments.If you want to cuss out rappers leave now.I wanted you to state your opinions like its okay its fine its awesome.Not to cuss out rap itself.

 

[KingJordan]

Rap is my favorite music. And people who say Rap is nothing but cars, *****es, jewelry, and money obviously don't know what they're talking about and have never heard a Tupac, Nas, Jay-Z, Eminem, Biggie, or many other's albums.

It Sucks ***. Gives a bad influence on teens aswell.

Yeah, it's the only type of music to do such.

 

[The dark knight]

Eminem is awesome!

 

[KingJordan]

Eminem is awesome!

Yeah he is. Misunderstood at times, but still awesome.

 

[Tyles]

I voted it's ok. It could be better. Or maybe that's just what people like.

But what's worse than rapping about hos is whining about how hard your life is, such as Eminem. I call it Emo Rap.

True, but that is what most of it consists of, there are exceptions, as there are with everything. On the other hand, rap isn't exactly famous for it's deep and meaningful lyrics is it?

Emo-Rap, isn't that a contradiction in terms. I mean you can find plenty of whining over how hard your life is in indie, alt rock, some pop and jazz. I mean some of the rap beats are quite catchy. It's the general no-brainer lyricism that lets it down in my opinion. Like I've said before there are exceptions, however they are a vast minority.

Like in the poem "Vultures"

"Praise bounteous
providence if you will
that grants even an ogre
a tiny glow worm
tenderness encapsulated
in icy caverns of a cruel
heart or else despair
for in the very germ
of that kindred love is
lodged in the perpetuity
of evil."

Anyone with any literary skill should be able to see what I mean.

actually some of it is. Not the stuff you hear on the radio about whatever's on the radio nowadays.


But listen to a Nas album or any Tupac, Biggie, Jay-Z or Eminem albums and you'd know rap certainly has meaningful lyrics.

"Gender of Rap" LOL

Man, I wish I had credit for being misunderstood, too.

 

[KoRnDawwg]

Face it, most rap lyrics encourage gun crime. All you have to do is look at the killings in south London not long ago. But then again, different lyrics appeal to different races or skin "colours".

 

[Albion Knight]

Depends on what Rap you listen to
http://www.lyricsdownload.com/kool-moe-dee-knowledge-is-king-lyrics.html

Party and dance
And don't ever glance
At a book or look
For their mind to advance
Caught in a rut
Chasing butt
Trying to get a dollar
Or trying to get a nut
Evil feeds
Off a source of apathy
Weak in the mind
And of course you have to be
Less than a man
More like a thing
No knowledge you're nothin'
Knowledge is king

 

[KoRnDawwg]

Okay what the HELL does that mean? You see, this is a perfect example of a source of material which laggs a teenager's social and verbal skills, as well as their grammatical level. I mean for God's sake, look at me-I am twelve years of age and I can speak and write much better English than some dude who listens to all this crap.

 

[Albion Knight]

It's not a lecture series it's a song. If your only source of intellectual stimulation are music lyrics then it's not going to matter what you're listening to you not going to be that challenged. What are you comparing it to?

 

[KoRnDawwg]

Well if Knowledge is King, then they should at least show that knowledge on poetry and English counts aswell. Here is another perfect example-this is "I love Niggers" by 50 Cent

WANRNING, MAY CONTAIN OFFENCIVE LANGUAGE

Spoiler

[Intro] (50 Cent)
I love niggas! I love niggas!
Cause niggas are me!
And I should only love that which is me
I love to see niggas go through changes (Whoooo!!)
I love to see niggas shoot through **** (Did it again)
And to all niggas that do it I love

[B.I.G.]
To all my Brooklyn (Niggas!)
To all my Uptown (You niggas understand?!)
To all my Bronx (It's war nigga)
To all my Queensbridge (I'll blow you away)

[Verse: B.I.G.]
Back up chump, you know Biggie Smalls grips it quick
And kicks it quick, you know how black niggas get
With the hoods fatigues with the boots with trees
Smokin weed, flippin ki's, makin crazy G's
Hittin' buckshots at niggas that open spots
On the avenue, take my loot, and I'm baggin you
Pimpin hoes that drive Volvo's and Rodeos
Flash the Roll, make her wet, in her pantyhose
Damn, a nigga style is unorthodox
Grip the glock, when I walk down the crowded blocks
Just in case a nigga wanna act out
I just black out, and blow they mother****in back out
That's a real nigga for ya

[Chorus: 50 Cent] (2x)
We the realest nigga
50 Cent and B.I.G. my nigga
Don't try to act like you don't feel a nigga
Biggie yo nigga, 50 yo nigga
Squeeze the trigga' leave a nigga fa' sho!

[Verse: B.I.G.]
When we smoke spliffs, we pack four-fifths
Just in case dread wanna riff
He get a free lift to the cemetary, rough very
Not your ordinary, we watch you get buried
That's a real nigga for ya
Get mad do a quarter flip the script, and rip your lawyer
Spit at the D.A. cause **** what she say
She don't give a **** about your *** anyway
Up North found first stop for the town
of fist-skill, where the hand skills are real ill
You'll be a super Hoover doo-doo stain remover
Ha hahhh, yo G, pass the ruler

[Chorus](2x)
We the realest nigga
50 Cent and B.I.G. my nigga
Don't try to act like you don't feel a nigga
Biggie yo nigga, 50 yo nigga
Squeeze the trigga' leave a nigga fa' sho!

[Verse: 50 Cent]
When I was young my M.O. was to go hail the Henny
And even my P.O. she called me the Ginger Bread Man
I cut ya new case, and tell her *** "catch me if you can"
Don't let your people feel your awkward
I tame I'm not lame
Get gassed up to get blast up
Real B.I.G. style watch the kid break it down
Check it, thou shalt not **** wit North Seed Papa
50 Cent, I'll break yo punk *** off propa'
This new place like home, New York - New York
I run this city, I don't dance around like Diddy
Niggas is giddy, till they act smack silly
Or spray wit the Mack Milly, they don't want drama really
Pushy niggas get hard lip syncing my lyrics like Milly Vanilly
Even the hood they feel me {*gun cocked*} hah! I'm on fire!
Niggas out in Philly they feel me, they bump my ****
Even bootlegged you know, bump my ****, *****!

[Chorus](2x)
We the realest nigga
50 Cent and B.I.G. my nigga
Don't try to act like you don't feel a nigga
Biggie yo nigga, 50 yo nigga
Squeeze the trigga' leave a nigga fa' sho!

[Eminem]
I got 50 Cent
I got G-Unit
D-Twizzy's in this *****
With Obie Triiiiice
So watch what you say
Before you call our name
If you say one more thing
It won't be nice

Here we go
I shoulda known
I was bound to get pulled into some bull**** sooner or later
You little haters are too jellous of us to love us
You ain't it
G-Unit made it
And Obie's comin
D-Twizzy's comin
You sick to your stomach
50% is 50-Cent
The other 50% is who's color skin it is
Well if you're even considering takin our label down
You better find our building and fly a ****ing plane into it
But I ain't tryin to get too intriqette into it
I'm just tryin to give you a little hint for your own benefit
Cuz then it's gunna get to the point where it escalates into some other ****
Then Im a flip
Then Im a get to stompin in my Air Force One's
Won't be able to tell if it's two pairs or it's one
It's gunna feel like there's so many feet kickin you
You think that Nike just made these into cleat tennis shoes
I don't know what it is or what it could be
But I get a woody when these pussy's try to push me
Thinkin they gon' put me in the position to pickle me
Ya'll tickle me pink
I think I'd just rather have pink tiggle me
Hickory dickory dock tickoty tock tickety a little bit of the diggity dock diggity
Mixed with a little bit of the jiga jig jiga
With a small pinch of Biggie
Look at me, I'm just the bomb diggity

We the realest label
Don't try to act like you don't feel our label
Cuz we gon' **** around and kill your label
Obie, D-Twizzy, G-Unit, 50, Shady Records, we the label fa sho
We the realest label
Don't try to act like you don't feel our label
We gon' **** around and steal your people
Obie, D-Twizzy, G-Unit, 50, we gonna kill your ****in label 4-sho

Shady in the place to be seen
And I got what it takes to rock the mic RIGHT!
Still watch what you say to me punk cuz I'm off probation in less then 6 MONTHS!

Shady Records
Still Aftermath
And don’t think we don’t hear you mother****ers talking
Cuz we do
We see yall
But we just gonna sit back for a minute and watch what the **** yall do

Now if this is what social behaviour has boiled down to, I am discraced. Truly.

 

[The dark knight]

Ahem.(tapping foot and giving you a look)I happen to listen to rap and talk just fine.And just because you hate rap doesnt mean you need to encourage people to hate it.Its there choice.

[KoRnDawwg]

What are you comparing it to?

I am not comparing anything, I am saying that most rap lyrics look towards negative things like crime etc etc. Just look at the 50 song above. Swearing is not a problem, it is the anti-socialness which I do not like.

 

[The dark knight]

You use bad language Korn!
