Music Rap

Do we have any Dirty South/West Coast people in here? It seems to be mostly rock/alt stuff (typical of anime fans, but you never know).

 

i ****ing hate gangster rap and all people who 'perform' gangster rap. but i like a bit of hip hop, jurassic 5, arrested development, dj. format, btk (hehe)

 

The only "rap" i listen to is Run DMC and MC Hammer. gangster rap gives me haedaches.

 

Last Emperor all the way.
Of course the coolest stuff happens when east and west collide.

 

Like Mordeth i hate anything to do with rap. And i mean anything. The music just doesn't make sense to me at all.

 

dr drew, enimem, DMX.. and all those other monkeys are the ones I hate.

 

Yup! hate them all. Espessaly Enimem, he is so overarted its unbeliveable. :anger2:

 

he has talent, his first album was good, original and pretty funny. but his second and third album were exactly like the first.. he has nothnig new to offer

 

The only credit I can give to Eminem is that he is one of the few rappers who talk about things other than sex, and money. That seems to be a unifying theme to rap. As for music I enjoy that is rap....Outkast's "Hey Ya" is as far as I delve into anything close to rap.

 

The only rap i happen to really like outkasts 'hey ya' but many others just dont so it for me. I mean i will dance to them alot at parties but i cant really get into them but i also do like 50 cents' P.I.M.P.

 

Okay, Mordeth and Kain, I think we all saw your first posts to this regard. Why repeat yourselves?
For the record, though, you are right in that MOST rap is total garbage. "Studio gangsters" (or wanksters, as 50 Cent called them) just really piss me off. If you asked me, if you haven't been shot, haven't done time in jail and haven't lived in a house or apartment with less than four bedrooms any time in the recent past, you have no right to pretend you know what life on the street is like.
Overall, rap is too political. The "artists" are always arguing over whose side is better, and then they get in fist fights or gun fights or drivebys and someone either gets hurt or dies. It's almost a microcosm for the rest of the world. Still, there's a lot of people out there who think they have to hate one musician because some other one does.
Really, though, if you can get past all the Nashville-esque glam, rap isn't all bad.

 

Heheheh! Here we go again! We already had two other threads debating rap music. But anyway, "Hey Ya" by Outkast is sung, not rapped. (It's like saying, "the only country song I listen to is Cry Me A River by Justin Timberlake" when it's not even a country song.) And some people actually think Sean Paul is belongs under hip-hop!

As for the thread topic, I listen to some kinds of rap, as well as other kinds of hip-hop (turntablism, breakbeats, urban freestyle dance, etc.). For mainstream rap on the radio, I don't really distinguish whether it's Eastcoast, dirty South, or Westside type. Well, it's obvious that Ludacris is from the South (cuz one of his songs I liked was "Southern Hospitality"). I also like his new song "Stand Up." I like Nelly cuz his he can sing/rap in a higher tone than everyone else.

 

im the rock lover in the family but rap... :anger2: its annoying it really is the only thing i will listen to is outkast but the rap stuff is just soooo arggg its not even music, my brother is into it but not i *shakes head* nope not cool

 

which one of you son's of *****es gave me bad karma....

 

rap? eewwwww, not for me thanks :sweat2:

heavy metal forever! :anime:

 

" Gangster RAP" lol !!!!!!!!!!!i like rap . i like dmx and outkast . but im not a one minded person i like a little of everything

 

TRIBAL, LATIAN.POP ,HIP HOP, R&B ECT...

 

You best believe it!

 

The only thing that I listen to that could be considered rap, or at least partially rap, would be some Linkin Park. I mean, it's not like it's solely rap, that's more or a rap-rock-techno type thing.

Also I've listened to the "It's All About The Benjamins" song several times to hear Dave Grohl's contribution to the song.

And, Eminem raps about sex, too. ;P Only his references to sex deal with celebrity page-turners and homosexuals.
