I don't like rap because I am a very audio person that doesn't listen to what the singer has to say because I don't care what they believe in. I do like good lyrics that can be touching but it is mostly music blended with the sound of the singers vioce that makes me sing along and scream with him (hard rock and metal is my calling) not his lyrics. I don't care about anyone elses philsophys but mine because I'm better (egoist). So my audio ability makes me more a rocker than a rapper however, I listen to rap rock because it uses guitars, etc. I am sure you understand me if you have learned about how the human mind works, psychology, etc.
As a lover of music of all kinds, it makes me sick to my stomach to listen to mainstream anything, but mainstream rap is especially bad. It seriously makes me want to kill myself (ok, not seriously). Has anyone else heard that god-awful rubber band song??? (No? Then download it. T.I. - Rubber Band Man) It upsets me when people tell me something like... 50 cent is the best rapper alive, or Lil Jon has the best album out right now... It upsets me even more when people totally give up on rap music because of what they hear in the mainstream. Yes... I'm ranting...
I hate hate hate hate to hear people put rap music down because 95% of the time (this doesn't include you, SonofElrond), the only rap they've heard is stuff that's on the radio or BET. They say they hate rap because it's all about being materialistic. They say there's too much profanity. They say there's no talent involved (if that's true, I'd like to see someone with no talent write anything anywhere near as poetic as anything from Eyedea). They say they hate the stuff their neighbor with the twenty-inch chrome rims on his '88 escort plays at 3 in the morning when they're trying to sleep. That's not hip-hop. That's the hip-hop being marketed to you - but that's not hip-hop. It's so much deeper than that. I'll cut myself off there.
Shoo! That felt good. And as if this post wasn't long enough, I leave you with some rap lyrics.
"I sing a bastard's tune, inspired by the noise The ship made before it sank and was finally destroyed I flaunt the grin of a man made for disguising a boy Who tried to avoid showing the cry in his voice But there's something special about the notes that he hears Those scales are redemption, unraveling repressed memories And when he breathes, a new energy enters and consumes him To heal his wounds and unseal his doom If only I could make you understand But words are just words so I can't The universe's deepest art form keeps my heart warm with influence I tell ya Ain't nothing quite as beautiful as Music"
And one last thing... all you pro-rap guys mentioned some pretty good artists... but what about Blackalicious? Anybody listen to them?
bottle r0ckit: you know... bottle r0ckit: i just don't get it bottle r0ckit: zombies. people alive. people try to stay alive by shooting zombies in the head. some of said "people" get infected. people have to shoot own friends, sometimes hesistate. fewer people are left to fight off zombies. the rest of the movie goes either two ways. they live, or they die. credits roll. bottle r0ckit: what drives people to write this stuff...
A little I like to go indy rap, unheard off bands. I'll listen to any rap but if DMX and Ja Rule are rap than call me a child and bring in Michael Jackson because they cannot hold a rap tune
I thought I go more psychological Wesley. I see you say one thing and do other by giving us your music history which is considerably longer than mine. I won't bother reading what your post says, if you insult what I write. All I want to give is the reason why and just some of the things I learned.
Yeah, same here. Blazing Arrow doesn't get as much time in my cd players as it used to, but it's still in rotation. I handn't heard anything about a new album, but now that I have, I'm pretty excited. I can't wait.

I'd think someone with so much writting talent and vocal staying power such as GOOSE, would be staunchly against the mellow dramatic callings of untalented rappers alike. However, this is not the case here in lies.
Anyway... my two cents on all this... RAP sucks and I don't care who likes what, when how or why.
I'm a rock guy. I like brilliant guitar, moving lyrics, snaping drum beats and the pop of a meridic bass stum.
You can't get that from a rapper. I don't care what rapper you say.
Sweatshop Union and Swollen Members are also a part of Canada's rap scene, rap has kinda molded into the rest of hip hop with all these duets and singing tracks so if you hate rap than I guess you hate all that is hip hop
The British rap scene is very interesting as of late. DIZEE RASCAL's music is getting a lot better, if his grammar isn't (with titles like Wot U Onn) and The Streets is popular, even if I don't get why he's so popular, the words are kinda changed so it sounds like it rhymes every once in a awhile, and all of his albums sound like they were recorded in a 14 year old's attic.
I purchased Dizzee Rascal's album, my only problem is he rap's with to thick an accent and sometimes it's hard to understand
That said Fix Up, Look Sharp is probably better than most rap songs, well in my opinion.
Bizzy from D12 is a funny comedic rapper who as a solo artist would be complete and utter sh*t but if he released a comedy album of raps I'd buy it, I think it would sell 3 million records because his raps are funny and shocking at times
Fix up, Look Sharp, is definetly a great song, totally agree with you on that whole last post. D12 is okay, but the only reason that people go to their concerts or even like them is because they have Eminem in the group, without Eminem they would be nothing, and that's a shame, because Proof and Bizzy are both Better and slighly funnier, respectively, than Eminem. Half of the fans don't even know the group, can't identify them name them or nothing. When I was at a concert one time a group of girls asked me in the hallway as i was off to the Men's room if I was a member of D12, which I thought was kinda weird, considering all 6 of them were on stage at the time...
Sadly everyone is like that, stereotypes of the world.
D12 is a better band without eminem's whiney voice, his songs on his albums suck but with d12 and Obie there better for some reason. How Come is a better song than My Band but the reason My band gets so much more is because it's less about something and more about Eminem acting like an ass
Like D12 said "D12 is nothing without Eminem but Eminem is nothing without D12" I think that's because they came up together and Eminem or any of them would not have made it without the rest supporting
the Best rapper alive is Jay-Z, in my opinion. He fell off for a while after he did The Blueprint 2, which was bad (the neptunes producing style just doesn't fit in with Jay's rapping style), but with the black album, he came back, and definetly went out with one of the best albums of his career, if not THE BEST.
You ever heard that Jay-Z song Threat? Cedric the Entertainers part as a gangsta named Thrix is worth listening to alone. "I keep trashbags with me, never know when you gon' have to dump one, after i throw a molotov cocktail through ya Momma's Momma's house, you crazy sucka."
I've never been able to get into Jay Z, it's like how pop singers have there catchy songs but you just can't like them because you know they didn't write it. Well Jay Z I feel was too cocky and has the Eminem effect on me, just makes me not want to listen
In fact if Jay Z is the best rapper alive than it must be easy to get that title, very easy
Yeah, he's got an album called "the deetox" droppin' this fall, which is a little ironic considering his firsst album was called "the chronic". It took Jay-Z nine albums to do it, and i'm not sayin' the black album was one of the best farewell albums, on 11 songs out of 14 he mentions how he's retiring and leaving the game, and his last song is a letdown, in my opinion, except for the very end, where he shouts "it's ya boy!" one last time and then slams the door shut. Very fitting. Jay-Z does come across as cocky, but he's not just some kid anymore, he's got the whole Rocka-Fella empire under his hands now, and if nearly all of his albums have gone platinum, that's gotta tell you something about his fans.
Anyway, Q-Tip is incredible, i like a lot of his stuff, but can't seem to find any of his latest music, because Q-Tip just wants to make good music, unlike a lot of other rappers, who want to make good music but make sure it makes as much money as they can get their greedy hands on. So, they release a good album and then put two or three crappy songs that they know teens will like on the album and then release it. Eminem did it on the eminem show, and Jay-Z did it with the black album, only reason "change clothes" is on the cd.
What about Kanye West? Any of you like him? I got the college dropout, i think it's okay, it's far from a rare occasion where I like every song on the disk, but i think that the best song on the disk is still "all falls down". Some songs are a complete waste, like the 12 minute track "encore" where four minutes is him and jay z rapping, and then 8 minutes is just him, no music, talking about how his career got started. It is very boring, and a lot of his words are unintelligible, so it's hard to understand what he's trying to say. Jesus Walks is an okay song, i love the message and the beat that's going on, but there's something wrong with it.
I am not trying to preach to y'all, just saying how in some instances the song can be very hypocratic, or just plain messed up. The song is about following Jesus and how much you need him. Yet, even though the LORD he speaks of preaces against cursing and he cusses several times in the song, about four five times in the first verse alone. The other thing i don't like his how he continually complains about how most rappers can't rap about jesus, 'cause then their record won't get played, which is crap. If he really wanted to do a christian song with a christian message he'd stick to the topic of the LORD (it's always capitalized in the bible so i capitalized it here) and not go on about how he won't make any money off of the song. That's kinda messed up when you think about it.
Anyone heard Little Jimmy Urine rap? It's sort of like an 80's revival mixed with lots and lots of stupidity. It's quite amusing.

When I try to rap I get called a wigga by my friends. I dunno it annoys me, you know. Like what, I'm a poser cause I'm white and a surb? I mean if I rapped about how the streets and how hard my life was then yes, I'd be a huge poser. But I don't. Most of what I rap is just short fun stuff. I'm not that good but I am improving.
Speaking of rapping, does anyone know any advice for improving your rapping?
Oh and I did a short song about pacman.
I remember back to the 80's: Late nights in the arcade, checking out the ladies. 2 in the morning between the hard lemonade. 8-bit shit and I got it made. The pings. The ding. The rings - I got the high score. I need more. You might think it's a little crazy - a little wack man. N-n-no it's pacman
