Rap

[Daahan]

back on track...

I was flipping through the radio today and I heard "your royal penis is clean your highness" by some slutty sounding girl followed by rap music. It's things like this that make me believe that rap has lost its heart..

Honestly the only rap song I really like is Back in the Mud by Bubba Sparks.

It's a song where I don't have to hear slutty girls, the N word, pimp, ho, slut, busting caps, etc.

If you ask me its a rap song with heart and meaning.

that comment is from the movie "Coming to America" Starring Eddie Murphy released in 1983 and is a funny as all get out movie O_o as far as rap is concerned there are only few people out there actually continuing what it was started and intended to be.

Rappers don't know jokes or enjoy life only maybe white ones.. wait.. their i go being sarcastic That was a joke unless you think he has a royal dick? anyway, i find it intresting that the one rapper you don't hate is white. Not acusing you of anything(don't know u rl) cause if i even dare'd i would and probally still going to get attcked by you people,

So ya i freaking give up, i think some of you are ignorant and some rasict and others simply opinionated(sp?)

Therein lies the error. What's amazing is how a rapper will just be created from nothing and their first album has them rapping about how much money they have. 90% of radio rap is pure self promotion, I'm a pimp, I'm a baller, etc etc, BS, BS.

The record industry is completely ruining the self image of people of color or people growing up in shitty neighborhoods. I live in Chicago too, it's amazing when you go through a poor neighborhood, there's a satellite dish on every busted apartment, Mercedes parked on the lawn, kids with hundred dollar shoes who can't read.

I'd urge those people reading to do what you can to not give these fuckers another dime, try out more interesting, creative rap and hip hop that doesn't make a kid feel like a piece of shit if he doesn't have the right clothes, that doesn't cause young men not to be able to feed their families because they need a certain car or TV or cell phone or whatever.

Click around, listen to samples, see what's up, Amazon has a nice way of linking you all over to hundreds of albums that exist along the same lines.

Ok, i read through about page 4, and the ignorance is suffocating. For those of you that are bashing this genre, have any of you ever made music? Have you ever tried to put a song together, write inspiring lyrics and put it together with a tune that expresses yourself? I find it highly unlikely. If you did, you would have respect for someone who is trying to bring a part of themselves to anyone who will listen.

Ill give you one thing. The radio has sucked forever, and the horrible degrading recycled crap that most hip pop artists are putting out is not even the surface of what hip hop is. You will never hear good hip hop on the radio. Who can relate to having millions of dollars, and getting drunk everynight with a random woman? No one i know. Hip hop, like all music is relative. If youre not a thug, a gangster, youre not going to appreciate the mainstream. If you appreciate some intallect, and deep metaphors, powerful messages about important social issues, you can relate to more of the underground.

For those of you that are coming in here and saying "rap sucks" "rap = crap" and other cliches, what music do you listen too? Im sure i can jump in and say youre music sucks without giving any reason.

As for "talking over a beat", you astound me. Thats like saying playing guitar is pulling a string. Or painting a masterpiece is moving a paint brush. Until youve experienced a deeper form of hip hip, other than the shitty pop music on the radio, dont come here with your ignorance.

My father is a music producer, I still think rap sucks.

Not accusing? My ass.
As a side note just because the rapper he likes is white doesnt mean hes racist. It just means he thinks his songs are better.

[Daahan]

When I heard the song Back in the Mud I didn't even know what Bubba Sparks looked like. It was a good rap song no matter what his race is.

And if I'm not mistakes Bubba Sparks is a mix.

I have been in several bands, and yes I do respect the fact that they have tryed to put some meaningful lyrics together and failed miserably. They tryed atleast. I should mail them a box of cookies .

REMEMBER PEOPLE, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT MODERN RAP.

[zelvious]

no one here probably raps so they dont understand first of all how difficult it is to come up with catchy punchlines that ryme and stay on topic. When you can then insult.

since when do you have to gang bang to listen to rap?

do I have to skate board to listen to niravana

or dress like a gothic dude in chick clothes to listen to marilyn mason
