They are. Rap isn't a genre in itself and if you're talking about rap it's just music with rapping in it. Hip hop is a genre. But hip hop doesn't need rapping to be hip hop.TehCookie said:
Same as you buddy. Although I did tend to prefer K-Rose over the other stations.Sixcess said:
OT: there's only a couple of Rap songs I actually enjoy so no not really.
My experiences were much the same! Did you guys have goth vs chav fights too?Froggy Slayer said:
Rap wasn't something my mates or family listened to much, so I wasn't exposed to it much. But, every now and then I'll find one I like, and that's cool.
I thought that was dubstep-ish, not really rappy?username sucks said:
I'm not really a fan of either, so I couldn't really accurately judge, although I did like that song....
Nope. I can't stand rap, and I've had friends who called me out for not giving it a try. And then I tell them I've been trying to find rap I like for fifteen years, and it hasn't worked. And then they shut up. I've actually found songs I would love if the rap wasn't in it (Coming Home and Libera Me From Hell spring to immediate mind).
About 70% of that song is Gav rapping with dubstep in the background. He even said himself that it was a mix of rap and dubstep.Patrick Buck said:
I also just realized that I frequently liten to raps by the Gorrilaz.
Rap is a lyrical style commonly associated with hip-hop. Rap is not a genre. Hip-hop is a genre. Yes I listen to quite a bit of hip-hop. Currently I'm a big supporter of the Doomtree hip-hop collective from Minneapolis, MN consisting of: LAZERBEAK, Paper Tiger, POS, Mike Mictlan, Cecil Otter, Sims and Dessa. Recently I've been diggin' Macklemore and Kendrick Lamar.
I have said this before but, I am not going to go looking in the sewer for a diamond ring. Yeah someone likely flushed one at some point, but why would I wade though miles of shit to find that one thing that is not shit? I am much better off going to a diamond mine. And what I mean by that is a genre I actually like. I might find a rap song some day that I like but I'm not looking.socialtangent said:
Man, I don't understand a lot of peoples problem with rap. Is it disliking it purely because it's in the mainstream? Or is there something I am missing that proves it's crap? Anyway, it's been a pretty good read and it has introduced me too some pretty cool artists so cheers people!
Anyway, I don't know if you would call this Rap or Hip Hop or whatever the bloody hell else there is but I'm going to leave it here anyway.

ITT: Metalheads spout the same 'ignorant shit' they're always crying about people who don't like metal are "always making".

While I don't wish to be mean to you personally I find your ther.... hypos..... assertion. Well, lacking in a basic understanding of how the Human Brain works. The super abridged version is you don't see the world in the same way as the guy next to you. You think differently then him, you perceive diffidently then him, you notice diffident things then him. Why you notice different things is you are exposed to different things more often then him. You got exposed to rap more and stared noticing the differences more.Katatori-kun said:
It's not that rap is optimistic and Rock is pessimistic and somehow you where "enlightened" to understand things more. No your brain just stared noticing X more then it did Y. You started caring about the Beat more then the rift, you stared caring about the story the guy was telling rather then the way he was telling it. And a million other differences. Your not more enlightened because you see the world in a different way then you use to.
This is a simple case of Confirmation Bias you want to see people who don't like the same things as you as being ignorant of it. When most of the replays that say they don't like rap have said just that. They don't like it. Yeah there have been some ignorant responses that say "Rap is Crap" and the like, but they are the exception not the rule.RhombusHatesYou said:
Interesting logic there, bunkie.Eddie the head said:
I didn't accuse people of being ignorant, I accused them of being the hypocrits they are.
Come back again when you have a real argument.
I like rap. If it has a good beat and flowing rhyme anyway. Which means that I'm not fond of half the rappers currently on air, but then I don't really care about that. I don't listen to rap to hear about which 'niggas' got shot or what'll happen if I disagree with the rapper's opinion, but I do find entertainment in a good rap. I also like rock and metal and all that. My YouTube history is often a mix of Eminem, Ludacris, Kanye West, Rob Zombie, Zeromancer, Metallica, and sometimes I like to blur the line and just listen to Hollywood Undead. A lot.
