They make that much because all of the
*ahem* gangsters *cough*
Go out and by it and crank it up in their piece of shit cars, thinking they are the fucking coolest.

and take a look at youth today as a result of being subjected to it. Shit when I was in high school I walked into class with a rifle and colt 45 with bullets for a show and tell project and teachers could care less. We put a porno in the video tape player when teacher left room and he just started laughing. Shit he probably was even enjoying it as well LOL...

well I dont know if its all rap...
I mean it probably has contributed.
But today's "heroes" shouldnt be 50 cent or fucking tupac.

Kids need better people to look up to.

There is always the president they can look who gives massages to other women then his wife or barry bonds who not got busted for roids, but also tax evasion.

it's about being cool (socially acceptable), not being a good example.

rap is ghey! i listen to country/rock/oldies :P

There's some good rap out there, all the good stuff is really indie though, a bigger name is Atmosphere, I like him. I primarily listen to hardcore, metalcore, experimental, progressive...

So do gay men

IMO rappers are nothing but a bunch of lazy asses that don't know how to work for a living......

Rap is garbage... At a time it was all I listened to, but then I realized what a POS it is!

it is really close minded and stupid to say any one genre of music is "ghey". except for techno, nobody with two nuts to rub together listens to that shit



To all other "rap sucks" yeah, most mainstream rap is garbage because the powers that be realize they can put anything they say into it because they know people will buy it. you should look into indie stuff, because those are the guys who have to work their way up, and generally actually have something interesting to say

If they show up to the studio and put down tracks then they obviously have a job.

You Think That You Can Front When Revelation Comes?"

OK, maybe not "all rappers" but you have to admit that alot of them have never worked a real day in their life like most of society has too? I know they don't need to since they're millionairs, which is what pisses me off even more!

You should use a bigger picture next time.

lol really. rofl

My brother starts the worst threads. Now, but seriously. I enjoy a lot of todays rap. I understand them just fine. No idea what music you're listening too. Sometimes I just want to zone out and listen to the beat, so what? That doesn't make Tupac or 50 Cent my idol. If I had to pick a idol it'd be Hank Williams Jr. and he's not much better then either of them. So stop with the profiling you racist.

Damn, a lot of shit-talking going on here with regard to rap. That's unfortunate. There is a lot of great rap out there with positive messages spoken through thoughtful metaphor and simile. I don't like rap where the focus is talking about how rich they are and how flagrantly they spend their money, but when it's about growing up and trying to make it in a fucked up world, about achieving something, about love, or any other topic such as these, I'm all for it. Sometimes they come up with simply amazing rhymes and their vocals are turned into another instrument so to speak.

Groups/artists I like include Jurassic 5, Del the Funk Homosapien, Gangstarr, Jedi Mind Tricks, etc.

I could spend all day trying to decipher an Aesop Rock song.

I walk the block with a halo and a stick poking your patience
Ya'll catch a 30 second flash visual
Dirty cooperative net platoon bloom head trip split rediculous
Fathom the splicing of first generation
Fuck up or trickle down anti hero smack (Cracking!)
I paste the game to zero hour completion green (Splash!)
Duke of early retirement pick a dream
American nightmare hogging the screen
I'll hold the door open so you can stumble in
if you'd stop following me around the jungle gym
Now it's an honor and I spell it with the 'H' I stole from heritage
Merit crutch stolen wretched refuse of my teeming resonance
I promise temperance towards breed with a leaning conscience
Here the creed acts since responsive but my sports the war's the wattage
And I'm sleeping now (Wow!) yeah the settlers laugh
You won't be laughing when your covered wagons crash
You won't be laughing when the buzzards drag your brother's flags into rags
You won't be laughing when your front lawn is spangled with epitaphs
Dont be laughing!
And I hang my boots to rest when I'm impressed
So I triple knot them and forgot them
This origami dream is beautiful
but man those wings will never leave the ground
Without a feather and a lottery ticket, now settle down

All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way.
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way.
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way.
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way.

(yes, yes, y'all, you don't stop, keep on to the break of dawn)

Slacker bound emit a tabloid headline with a pulse
Shimmy cross the centerfold, and a dead time engulfed
Diddy crumbs for the better souls with seven deadly stains
To hear the blame to crystal conscience
To results a low life counting on one hand what he's accomplished
Ok, link me to activism chain activate street sweep
Plug deteriorating zenith bent Pendragon
I hock swords cores for the morbid spreading of mad men
(alley gospel)
Sinking their lincoln-log cabin and Charlie Chaplin waddle
I could zig zag and zig 'em again for the bashed dreams
Sparking in my brick wall windows another thick installment
Of one night in Gotham without the wretched (There is also another word here)
Houston we have a problem
Attached to a infested batch of city goblins
Who split holiday freak on a box cut cinema high road bellow
Head rips Watch red bricks turn yellow
Sort of similar to most backbones at camp Icarus
Raw feeling crimes congregating at pamper for bickering
Life's not a bitch life is a beautiful woman
Your only call her a bitch because she won't let you get that pussy
Maybe she didn't feel y'all shared any similar interests
Or maybe you're just an asshole who couldn't sweet talk the princess
Kiss the speaker wire or either pass it for some pagan thresh hold
Stomach full of halo kibbles
Wings span cast black of porn visuals hear the duck hunt ticker tape
Vision and pick apart the pixels
I got a friend of polar nature and it's all peace
When I seek similar stars but can't sit at the same feast
Metal Captain!
This cat is asking if I've seen his little lost passion
I told him: "Yeah, but only when I pedaled past him"

All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way.
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way.
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way.
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way

I did invent the wheel, in a previous generation
While the triple sixers lassos keep angels roped in the basement
I locate my old halos and pass em out to the pavement
Y'all catch a 30-second flash frame
Dirty cooperative Neptune bloom head-trip split
Fantastic! Fathom the splicing of major league low lifes
With anti hero earthworm mentality (Godzilla!)
I paste my game to zero all completion
See a cretin's still a cretin even speakin' altered moniker
American nightmare lost in the monitor
I'll hold the door open so you can stagger through
Then ten berserk and bread cookies in after you
It's the gutter and I spell it with the 'G' I stole from 'Get
the f**k up'
Noise crutch stolen wretched refuse of my teaming dumb luck
Still I promise temperance storm breed still bleeding Amish
See the freaks sucked out the bottom dropped 3 bears and a baby
in a cottage
And I can't sleep now
Yeah, the police'll laugh
You won't be laughing when your covered wagons crash
You won't be laughing when you're hosted by the ghost of
Christmas past
You won't be laughing when your blow up doll's
got a headache and won't give up the ass
And I lay my kicks to rest when I'm impressed
So I staple-gun them to my feet
This origami dream is beautiful: pull the tail watch the wings
flap
But you really can't do a thing with that

All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day
Swallow up the pieces
Spit 'em at your species
Reachin' the city of lost barnacles and leeches
Night-light got me when the daylight went to evening
Night (Light) Day (Light) x8

I'm pretty sure I got a pulse.. plus
We Shimmy cross the centerfold, and our night light engulfed

Just let me keep the crumbs (Please)
With seven deadly stains
To hear the plane to crystal conscious
The results a dead-beat trying to make a dollar off a bomb
threat (OK)
Lift me to activism chain activate wild-style Pluto orbit
Set a course then push the button
I swallow spores born by the laws of a morbid glutton
I can spot a drunk battalion by the Charlie Chaplin waddle
Zig zag and zig 'em again before they can pull a badge out
But I lash out
Another thick installment of one night in Gotham like
'Houston we have a problem'
They're buffing the trains the same days the graffiti writers
bomb 'em
Who split how many freaks on box cuts of a high road bellow?
Heads ripped! Watch red bricks turn yellow
I'll try to meet the wizard
But a tailgating tit-man holding an oil can
won't let a hermit crab break in his new shell-toes
Life's not a bitch, life is a beotch
who keeps the villagers circling the marketplace
out searching for the G-spot
Maybe she didn't feel y'all shared any similar interests
Or maybe you're just an asshole; maybe I'm just an asshole
Kiss the speaker wire, seaming swashbuckler or pagan thresh hold
Stomach full of diner food
Wings span cast black upon views
Here to help release the rabbit hounds or pick apart your mood
I got this friend of polar nature and it's all peace
When I seek similar stars but can't sit at the same feast
Metal Captain!
This cat is asking if I've seen his bit of lost passion
I told him: 'Yeah' I gave him one last look and smashed him

All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day
Swallow up the pieces
Spit 'em at your species
Reachin' the city of lost barnacles and leeches
Night-light got me when the daylight went to evening
Night (Light) Day (Light)..

Uh huh

One of the coolest arrangements of lyrics the way these lyrics are woven through each other for the chorus:

Chorus*Aesop overlapping Illogic, fading in and out of each other*
[Aesop Rock]
Platforms have been erected
Effigies built
Slogans coined, songs have been written
Rumors have been circulated
Autographs faked
The hourglass smashed and didn't leave me an escape
Moving boxes have been worn out
Mantlepieces dusted
Idols idolized, the sands have been shifted
Curtains have been closed
Sleepers all waked
The hourglass smashed and didn't leave me an escape

[Illogic] *overlapping Aesop, fading in and out*
Now with my trusty paperclip
I picked locks of thoughts vault
Finding the garden barren
The harvest fruitless
Only the Tree of Life flourishing
Wanting to take a bite but I'm toothless
Is that, predestination or is it by design?
That I'm trapped in time sand
Show radio mission control but for my rhymes
Man cuz I can like aluminum
And I recycle my consciousness
This is just a note
For any action or lack thereof there's a consequence

Maybe I'm wrong but wasn't it MC Rob Base & DJ Easy Rock and 2 Live Crew?

Back in the day I remember having Schooly D, Ice-T, LL Cool J, Beasties, RUN DMC, KRS-ONE, Geto Boys and Public Enemy tapes.

Can't forget the Fat Boys rockin ha ha the Wipeout!
