Every user is thoroughly entitled to their own opinion. And yes, that opinion may conflict with yours, but if it doesn't break any rules, then there's not a problem with it.

Maybe the Rock people hate the rap people beacuase the rap "people" always come on and say how much better their "music" is than everybody else's, though it lacks some thing that make music music, like singing.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

Hahaha. I love it when people say, "Rap is all about the beat.".

Isn' all music about the beat? If the beat to a rock song sucks, then it isn't a good rock song. It doesn't matter how good the lyrics or instruments are, if the beat is bad, the song is bad.

Although all the swearing gets the music an "Explicit Lyrics" tag, it's still aimed at little kids who think swearing is really, really cool.

The United States of America-- STILL more rights than North Korea!

Cronin's Law----The New Flood Drinking Game

I talk smack about rap on here for two reasons:
1* Everyone at my school LOVES rap even though they are all white preppy kids... makes me sick, and here at least I (liking classic rock) are at least not a pitiful minority
2* I like good-natured arguing online... and if it's not in a PM, it is well-intentioned.

Oh yeah, and since we seem to be postin lyrics.... tell me; which has more 'substance'... the lyrics posted at the beginning there or these here by Pink Floyd:

Breathe, breathe in the air.
Don't be afraid to care.
Leave but don't leave me.
Look around and choose your own ground.

Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.

Run, rabbit run.
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one.

For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave.

The reason practacly everyone here doesent like rap is because it got so popular that it gets annoying hearing it over and over again without realy careing for it in the first place.At least thats why i dont like rap.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

I used to like rap, when Tupac was alive, and a couple of years after he died. But now I am a little sick of it.

It is becuase, so many people, seem to consider it music, and up there with the great musical artist of our time. While it is just swearing, harrasing comments, spoken to a single beat.

I have never liked rap. I never hear very much rap and I don't care if a lot of people like a band I like. That doesn't make me stop liking it. I just don't like rap because it doesn't seem musical to me. Other people have their own opinions and objections. I just say what my ears tell me to say.

Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

Here's a breakdown of Rap:

* Inspiration for songs comes to them while some slut is sucking on thier -blam!-
* Rap has about three different themes:
Bustin' "caps" in some poor "sucka's" ass.
-blam!- some slut they found at a club.
"Bling"
* The same ten lines over and over again.
* Grunting
