Rows of houses all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out

This machine will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again and fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see it's beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out again

Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love.


I'de chose those lyrics over any given rap lyrics anyday.

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.


And instruments (other than the usual bass drum and what sounds like a dog's squeeky toy).

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.


not true! i heard a rap song that had a whole three beat in it! (lol!)

Rap lyrics are lacking in substance. They all are about the same things; sex, clubs, bling, drugs, or violence. There is a very small minority that might break from that trend once in awhile, but it is very small.

Secondly, rap is NOT music. If it is anything, rap is poetry. Not very good peotry however... The only rap song that I heard that even at all resembled music was that song that ripped off Crazy Train, and it ripped off the song Crazy Train .

Oh, and to the guy who said music is all about the beat, that is the worst comment I have ever heard. So many great rock n roll songs have been only guitars and vocals, no drums. Thus, they don't even have a clear beat, but they are still awesome songs.

you people say all rap lyrics is about drugs and -blam!- then your wrong.

this is a song from jurassic5

What's Golden

SOUP
Check it out now
I work the pen to make the ink transform on
Any particular surface the pen lands on
Zaakir is hands on
What’s the beef?
The Cooley High Co Chiefs
High Post Techniques
I drape off poetic landscapes and shapes
Illustrate the paper space off the pens that paint
Then design with habit the national geographical magic
With tailor made status and plus flavor that’s automatic

CHORUS
We're not ballin’
We take it back to the days of Yes Y'allin’
We’re holdin’ on to What's Golden
‘Cuz on the stage I rage and I’m rollin’ (rollin’)
We’re not ballin’

Shot callin’
We take it back to the days of Yes Y'allin’
We’re holdin’ on to What's Golden
‘Cuz on the stage I rage and I’m rollin’ (rollin’)

MARC 7
Melancholy mundane sautéed or hot flame
Big rings fat chains
They all quest for the same
No name huge fame
Strictly new to the thing
We stay true to the game
And never bring it to shame

We tight like dread locks
And Redd Foxx and ripple
We pass participles
And smash the artist in you
The saga continues
This I won't get into
Cuz there ain’t enough bars to hold the drama that we've been through

AKIL
Yo, we’re still the same with the little fame
A little change and a household name but ain’t too much changed
We in the game yo but not to be vain
I refrain from salt grains that seizing up my name
We entertain for a mutual game
From close range
Steady aim
I drum at your head
To hit the brain
I’m labor ready roll scholar for the dollar
Work for mine pay me by the hour

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Hip hop music
Music, that music
Music, that music
Turn in out
Turn it out without a doubt

CHALI
Well it’s the verbal Herman Munster, the word enhancer
Sick of phony mobsters, controlling the dance floor
I’m them dark places
Catch you when you stark naked
Your heart races as we punk you for your chart spaces
That tart taste is me bringing these hot styles thorough
Some of u bum a few cheers
From shock value

Word power can plow thru
Acres of cornfields
Paragraphs cut like warm steel
Perform ill

CHORUS




now didnt this prove you people wrong?

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.

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.



i dident mean i like that i meant that alot of people dident realy care about it in the first place and it was drilled into there heads by other people.

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.
oooh i would hate to go to your school. Preppy white kids who like rap? -blam!- that.

if we dont make an alliance then the rap haters will beat us rap likers up and we know that the rap haters are way more than the rap likers in this forums so, if we dont stick together were going go get hurt.
