...And everyone who listens to rock is a meth-smoking emo that ends up blowin his brains out Cobain-style, right?

For you guys in here beating your heads against the wall, something in a movie I saw once summed up the feelings of most rap listeners on the rap genre: "People in the desert don't drink the sand cause they think it's water. They drink it cause they don't know the difference."

Speaking as one who does, the sad thing is trying to explain what real hip hop is to some of these folks is like trying to teach astrophysics to wino... It's just not happening, especially because they're basing what they think they know about the genre off the overcommericalized garbage they hear on MTV (not that I'm hatin' on rappers for trying to make a dollar, though).

Some of the beats are tight, yes, but all most rappers do (at least the ones you hear about) is pimp product labels... Hip hop has been reduced to nothing more than a 5 minute commercials. Videos are even worse, with asses shakin', platinum blingin', and product placement everywhere. Anyways, when I hear rock on a commercial, I don't assume that is what all rock music is about... Why do most of you about rap? Even worse, why assume everyone who listens to rap wants to be some kinda thug or gangster?

Now, for the other uneducated statements... Rappers have no musical knowledge? Making beats ain't easy, and last I checked, percussion was a class of instrument. Also, lemme fill you in on what "sampling" is. Most rap tracks are composed in MIDI, a digtal format that stores the musical notes from a wide range of sounds and instruments. Beat makers usually play their own instruments to record these "samples" because the pitch and tone of their own instruments are better than those found in standard MIDI packages. What does that mean, if MIDI is composed of notes and tracks are created in MIDI? Rap is scored music, albeit arranged on a PC and synthesized on a MPC. Think about the "loop" in a rap song; it's pretty much the same as a "riff" in a rock song.

And just like rock, some lead singers have no talent in musical instruments, only a voice best suited to the music being played. Oh, and as for "kindergarten speak" of rappers (as annoying as the constipated grunts of rock), listen to some real hip hop, and hear how a creative lyrist can weave words to tell a story or fit how your feeling...

Listen to some EPMD.
Listen to some KRS-One.
Listen to some Big Daddy Kane.

Then holler back about what you think rap is.
