Thread: Rap Music

Doesnt seem like it will....but its certainly changed since the 90s

from gangster rap to some shitty shake your ass and tits in DA CLUUUUUB rap that is fucking God awful....

hopefully sooner or later they get things right...

I happen to like alot of 'underground' hip hop, from rappers who are undiscovered and dont talk about diamonds and bling bling and bullshit like that.

I don't dispise all rap. 95% of it. I like biggie, eminem was good, wu-tang clan. The new crap is horrific.

Most music fades away in time. rap will die some day..

70's was my favorite while I did like the 50's, 60's and 80's.
I don't really care much for Rap but I do like DMX.

70's was def the best era. If you did a world poll for anyone over 21 that would win. Great bands came out of that era.

The 70's was unique, Rock was great, Disco was great to dance to, Soul had it going on, funk was at full tilt, Salsa was at it's best, punk was just coming out, Rap was in it's infancy, pop was pop, Country had balls, Jazz was smoothhhhhhhhh, do-wop was gone but heck I still heard it during the 70's

Late 60's, 70's and early 80's classic rock is the best shit hands down. I have always loved classic rock. I was the only 15 year old out of all my friends who would of rather listened to jethro tull than staind. I always said I should of grown up in the 70's. I used to like rap music though, back when it was tupac, biggie, nwa, bone thugs....

I really dispise rap music now and I agree that it is ruining the youth today. There is nothing worse than those 14 year old white punks that think they are fucking gangstas. Goddamn it that shit pisses me off.

Rap is not one type of music. I have friends over here in Australia that rap but hate some of the commercial shit out of America

Rap is still around. My question is, do you think rap music will every die down or go away? I dispise it. I think its ruining are youth. Comments.

How is it ruining our youth? Most people who say they hate rap only know of main stream artists...not sayin that you do.

I just hate when people say that rap sucks or this or that when they only know about Eminem, Tupac, 50 Cent etc.

I've seen it from it's begining growing up where it became popular "the boogie down Bronx" and I don't care for the new stuff....I can't wait for something new and fresh.
This stuff is now a annoying humming noise.

I agree that the new stuff sucks. But that's only if you're referring to new commercial. There are so many underground/less known Mc's and rappers out there that are amazing all around. Word play, mic presence, lyrical ability, etc. etc.

anyone feel like sampling some

Aesop Rock
Atmosphere
Sage Francis
Immortal Technique
Jedi Mind Tricks
Jurassic 5
Benefit
Unknown Prophets
C-Rays Walz
J-Live
Brother Ali
Talib Kweli
Binary Star
Mos Def
Dan the Automator
Josh Martinez
Celph Titled
Arsonists
Loop Troop
Dose One


and many others who you may not have ever heard of in your life....very good mcs and djs out there...

That's what my nephew say's about it.
I thank god for XM radio, they play everything out there

Agree with Goodfella. Commercial artist have given rap a bad name.

That's the music industry for you.
There was just an investigation of radio stations accepting money from record companies.....payola.
Ever wonder why Britney Spears and all these other no talent singers/ group get so much airplay.
Same shit with rap.

I would like to see rap return to the state that it was once in, where people had messages. Now rap is all about club beats and talking about how bad ass and rich you are. Listen to music like Gangstarr, Del the Funky Homosapien, Jurassic 5, etc. They actually have messages worth listening to.

good call

cant forget the one and only KRS 1

I almost shat myself when I heard Nelly speak about KRS 1, he has NO business with that name coming from his fucking errrrr time lips, making up words sounding like they came from a re-re special ed class...

Its getting hot it hurrrrr hahaha fag...

one word: CANIBUS

actually two more words: TECH N9NE




lol

I liked your list 60... hippie, etc until you hit the 90s

To me, the 90s weren't about rap at all. It was all about 90s alternative.

Pearl Jam
Soundgarden
Stone Temple Pilots
Nirvana
Garbage
Greenday
No Doubt (before she turned to rap)
Offspring
Pixies
Smashing Pumpkins

... not sure how you overlooked this fairly major musical movement. I can't even name more than a couple rap artists. I graduated high school in 1991 and throughout college, I don't remember rap being around really. I still only know a couple people that even listen to rap. To me it was and still is just noise that I hear when come wanna be ganster pulls up beside me at a light with way, way too much base. (so much that I am not sure if there are lyrics or any instruments other than a drum machine - notice I didn't says drums)

And hippie music extended quite a bit into the 70s... even if it changed a little.

And in some ways 80s music is back or never went away completely... or at least something just as cheesey (Spears, Boy Bands)

90s alternative never died out either. It is alive and well. A lot of those bands are still as strong as ever. Weezer, Offspring, Greenday, Soundgarden (or Audioslave now)

I never really enjoyed 70s very much actually except for a few bands. I find the 60s way more interesting. The 80s were better than the 70s but not anything popular on the radio. The 80s had some great alternative stuff like the Pixies, The Smiths, Violent Femmes, early Red Hot Chili Peppers... it's just the mainstream Wham crap that sucked.

Personally I think the Seattle music that came out of Seattle was the best popular music since the British Invasion of the 60s.

There are still some hip-hop groups that use instruments
in their bands, but I kind of think they fall into a R&B type category...
(even if they rap)

Rap music has degenerated into complete garbage...

Groups don't even sample music anymore,
most new rap is just a drum track, with a series of
beeps, whistles, keyboard tones, and noises...

=Complete GARBAGE

(And now I think that gansta crap has created a counter-culture...
They are ANTI: education, employment, civility, ETC)

I don't like it...

But like I said, there are still a few real musicians out there
(so I have hope)

The majority of the stuff played during the 60's spilled unto the 70's.
The Beatles, The Who, Santana, ElO, ELP and thats just rock. I didn't include other music 'genres'
The 90's garage bands were nice but take away Pearl Jam and all of them combined can not compete with Led Zep.

A lot of people are confusing Rap with R&B.

You are right. It was more the late 90's early 2000's. When I say rap is ruining our youth I mean this new "in da club" rap. commercial stuff. Spend your money on bling instead of doing something good with it.

if u hate rap music it's because you aren't listening to the right artists..out here in the bay area, we have a lot of pride and it's reflected in our rap. it's very unique..yukmouth, richie rich, e40, keak da sneak, etc...these are artists that make good music, even though they don't get sufficient airtime on the radio, except for Keak because E-40 signed to Lil Jon's record label and they have a video on MTV, "Tell Me When To Go.." I think the reason why most people can't relate to rap is because they did not grow up in the streets, like myself and most other kids in California..therefore they cannot relate to anything that is being said. Granted, mainstream rap is getting worse and worse everyday that goes by, My advice is for you to find a rapper in ur local community, hood ,etc who is talking about issues relevant to where you live.

club music has its place, hoes love it and therefore it must be listend to
