I use to like rap...then I got above the age of 10...

Sarcasim aside..I personally don't like rap for these reasons...

1. 3-5 beats per song repeated over and over...very disturbing...

2. Rap is not about the beat or about the lyrics...it is about smack talk, degrading people, cursing, and grunting...and Techno is the only music that is all about the beat ;)

3. Rappers rip off songs more then I rip off silverware at school...which is pretty sad

4. I am aware that all rappers "choose" not to talk proper English...but who chooses what "propper" is...anyway the way they talk is very agrivating...

5. Listening to rap makes me want to go out and start a fight...

6. Preppy white kids listen to it and take on its role...as in they start talkin -blam!-...wearing baggy cloths...*only fat people like me should wear baggy cloths*...and they try to rap as they talk which makes me want to punch them...

7. It encourages 15 and under to curse every 5 minutes

8. It encourages people to use poor grammer in forum posts and e-mails...read my "Things That Piss Me Off" list on my website ;)

9. It's a sad atempt at poetry...it is not music...it's a very very sad attempt at poetry...but poetry none-the-less.

There are probley more but I feel lazy so I'll leave it up to you two to blame me to hell's half acre.

If i may quote what Texas Ben said a while ago (formerly in my sig)

Masters of spoken poetry? That stuff isn't even English! You might as well call them the masters of Rythmic speaking. Or the masters of "Unnnnggghhhnnnnn"!

sums up my opinion pretty nicely. However, i have heard an Eminem song that actually was *gasp* coherent, intelligent and had a clear, moving message. It is the first C-rap song I've ever heard that i actually thought that the lyrics were on par.

And he didnt even whine about Bush. *crowd falls silent in awe*

Rap Rocks. There is one lie for you. Care for another?

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 .


Shame too.... Crazy Train is such a great song.

Because anyone with access to a computer, and the internet, and time to spend on an internet forum, has a pretty decent life.

the average rap song consists of these main lyrics:

Mother -blam!-

Gee

Dope

-blam!-

Hoe

Cap's

I might as well watch Fox news.

I will enter this discussion when someone explains the real meaning of this thread is.

Meaning, lion45. Is this thread made so you can learn why people like rock and dislike rap, so you know why they do it?
Or
Is it made so you can finaly flame those rock liking and rap flaming SOB's?

I like rock, just setting the mood. =)
