Ok, no one has said it. But you still haven't answered my question.

Well anyway, I'm off to play Mechwarrior4. So I won't be answering any posts. Mechwarrior4 is a kickarse game.

Linkin Park (oh yeah! Best band ever!) combine's rock and rap in a blend of incredibility.
Eminem just has a way with Rap that only about 1-1,000 rappers have. Most other rappers (especially Snoop Dog and Fat John) are worth garbage.

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

Im not trying to be rude,but I can only understand about half of this.

"why do u guys always come on here and talk -blam!- bout rap....we dont say anything bout ur music"
After that part of his post comprehension totally went to hell, as Tanikaze would put it.

And part of the reason I hate rap is the "blam" count; the incessant swearing makes it sound crude and unintelligent.

I hate rap, and I also "dislike" rock. I hate all of that kind of music, truthfully.

Are you happy now? I hope I made you feel better about the kind of music you listen to. Oddly enough though, you can't stand people attacking the music you like- but at the same time you wish that someone hates the same thing that you do.

Linkin Parks rap sucks as much as the rest. But when they sing they are okay. If their lyrics werent -blam!- I might like them quite a bit.

Eminem is one of only two acceptable rappers, with the other one being the Linkoln Park guy.

I am so sick of threads like these. Rap sucks. Want to know why?

-They don't speak english.
-The only thing rap is about is drugs, sex, killing, clubs, gangs, "bling", and "ballin".
-Rap provokes people to do drugs and start fights.
-Some people drop out of school to be a "gangsta". They then live on welfare and complain about not having enough food or clothes. Shut the hell up. You dropped out of school on your own free will, and you deserve what you get. This does not apply to people who are poor but tried to achive in life.

You think I don't know how it is? Let me tell all you "gangstas" a little story.

My 18 year old brother was driving home from church one night. He saw a man on the side of the road needing a ride. He gave him one. The man asked for my brother to give his "bros" a ride too. He agreed. They asked him to drive up a road twoard the ghetto side of town. At the place where he was supposed to stop, they pulled a gun out. My brother was murdered that night, shot in the back of the head by a gang. They after dumping his body on the road, they drove his car to a shop and took it apart. The cops assumed that they sold the car parts for money to buy drugs. I saw them all in court. They were wearing cheap medallions, baggy clothes, and had no respect whatsoever for my family. They were all sentanced to life in prison.

And that is why I will bear eternal hatred for rap and gangs. My brother was killed that night for doing the right thing.

Hehe...it's gone on for four pages, and I haven't even read a half. But I'm gonna voice my opinion anyways.

Here's why I like to diss on rap:

I am in a band. I know what kind of effort goes into writing lyrics, vocals, instrumental parts, and then making them all come together and making them sound good. Rap takes no such effort. All you do is get 3 notes, jumble them around, and add a very boring drum beat in the bacground consisting of nothing more than a few snare and bass drum beats every one or two counts. If you're not even talented enough to do that, then just rip off a few riffs from a classic rock song. Then add a bunch of pot smoking, materialistic, selfish, sex-crazed (well...actually...rock stars are the same in the sex-crazed aspect...and usually the pot-smoking one as well...but they at least can write music) bufoons (with little to no actual education) who can neither sing, write decent lyrics, or pretty much change the pitch of their voice (which in turn makes the song even less interesting, as crazy as that seems) to rap about one of four things (every single rap song falls into one of these categories)
* having sex with "-blam!-es"
* being a "gangsta"
* being rich
* getting high off of something

Then they make zillions of dollars off it, dress in crazy clothes (I'm talkin' like seventeen shirts, four pairs of pants, $18,000 dollars worth of "bling", a doo rag, a hat, worn sideways, and some nice shoes), buy more cars than any one person needs, and smoke insane amounts of pot. Every once in a while, they get in the occasional gunfight, during which no one actually gets hit, because every "gangsta" is a retard and holds his "gat" sideways, which makes it nearly impossible to hit something. Also, no one dies because they don't know how to use any kind of tactical maneuvering, but I suppose that's a good thing. ( I could beat them in a gunfight. Rather easily.)

Oh, and then all the kids who listen to rap get all cocky about it and start quoting parts of rap "songs" at the end of stuff they say to look tough, like when you said ""motha-blam!-a still ballin, till the day i die, u can bring ur crew but we remain true, motha-blam!-a's still ballin, -blam!-s wonder why, u can bring ur crew but we remain true, mother-blam!-a's still ballin" tupac..still ballin ." That's like me saying, at the end of this post,
"So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins, through peace and trust this day will be not about your losin'--Led Zeppelin"

Wow...realllly]/i] effective at intimidation, isn't it?

The worst part about rap is that it all sounds alike. There's nothing satisfying about listening to it, there's no crazy insane instrumental solo that really makes you appreciate their skill (which isn't really a word that can be used with any kind of rap except for freestyle), and it's not really like their music is going to become a "classic" and be remembered for generations to come.

The reason I think rappers don't diss the rockers is because most rock (with the exception of punk and some screamo) is respectable and done by talented [i]musicians

Hmm....would you rather give a guy a hand or let him sit there at dark, in the freezing cold? I failed to mention it was about 27 degrees out there. Otherwise, he would have gone past the guy.

I know your allowed to express your opinino but we heard you the first time i agree about the whole rap deal. On the other hand Linkin Park isnt that damn bad I love how they can mix rap and rock I think they are rather revolutionary. Yes over played but for a good reason. Now hearing you repeat yourself so many times gets rather annoying like that scientist in the Simpons. Oyvan Glayvan. It's funny but gets annoying.
