"Do you fools liten to music or do you just skim through it"?

Artist: Jay-Z
Album: Blueprint
Title: Renegades

I felt the need to post this because I just recently realized how much of you loath rap. I think this is mainly because most people do the aformentioned. You guys should take some time off from hearing the beat of a track and start listening to the lyrics. I'll tell you what, if you go out and buy the newest album from Jay-Z, Nas, or Eminem and listen to it, and still don't think that what they do is incredible, then fine, I'll believe you've made a (for lack of words) 'thought out' opinion.

Good-night now.

How the hell can I listen to the lyrics when I can't even understand them?

Extremely good point

Most people who hate rap have never even taken time to listen to it - and, if they do, it's the garbage that comes out mainstream nowadays (J-Kwon, etc)

Jay-Z is funny. I got 99 problems but a well you what. You mean people don't listen to lyrics? That's pretty dumb if you don't ask me. Why wouldn't someone listen to the lyrics if they were listening to the song? I like that one song where M&M is that guy Stan, lol.

you know a few years back i got tired of not being able to understand what they say so i went to lyrics.com to find out. i read through them and you know what....... it still sucked. why should i care about some rapper's fake gang fights and why he likes fat chicks. and the more i think about it, it just seams pointless nonsense.

I only care about GOOD poetry... like this.

"Once I saw a cat
the cat was fat
the cat was so fat
it sat on a mat
and the mat went flat"

The end

(Just so you know, I was joking about that baing good poetry, I was bored)

That's funny. Too funny. You're ruining the popularity of my "Dumb Squirrels" poem. I might have to put an end to this.

The fact of the matter is, rappers have no sense of melody or rhythm, so they ramble incoherently to grating industrial noise. Anything that defies these parameters is not rap, regardless of whether it is labelled as such.
/end tirade.

Here's number 2
"Once I saw a car.
The car went far
the car went so far
it hit a par...
in golf"

MWE HE HE... I'll stop now.

There goes more roadkill
Making a big red spill
Bet it tastes good on the grill
Only the roadkill won't stay still
-blam!- this I'll just go watch Kill Bill.

There I beat him to it.

I found that very insightful Maka...I don't listen to rap because of most of the mainstream crap....I've listened to old stuff and underground stuff at parties and I actually didn't mind it
