Its Shit because its rap. It sounds terrible and has no point. I think i actually dont like it becuz of the ppl who like it. Its probly stereotypical but idc lol, most ppl who listen to rap wear clothes that r fuckin stupid, for instance, ppl walk around with there pants hangin off their ass and still wear a fuckin belt... they also just act stupid, most of em do drugs and shit, and rap music is usually affiliated with gangs and shit thats pointless.Zeke109 said:
That a better explanation?
I've never seen a kid around where i live with their pants around their ankles but I find it funny that in prison it means they're someone's ***** and the ignorant kids have no idea.

Who the hell necroed this thread? we already have one thread where people can come and spew their venomous hate about rap.
I'll put it in my perspective, but this (the above statement) is really what it boils down to for me. I look for something impressive or interesting in my music, something I feel I would've never thought of or can't do myself and there's rarely any of that in rap. Perhaps its because we've been bombarded to death with it over the last decade (though I'm glad I don't live in the states in that respect), I don't know.Eggo said:
Like I said though, it's why I'm not a fan. It's not that I hate the genre, I just don't really care about it but there's definately a few artists in it that have struck my fancy (IIRC I voted "ehhh, it's okay"). I also don't care for metal but own a few records that are firmly entrenched in the genre. I do hate gangsta rap though (couple of nice beats be damned), the fact that the official title is mispelled alone should say enough for most people.
aside:
The only genre I'm a fan of is prog rock really. Yes, even if that might land me the accusation of being some elitist highbrow fag who needs to feel intelligent by listening to overwrought and complex music (and putting me straight into the dreaded rockist country to boot). My collection includes stuff from all over the place I feel, the artists I have a collection of (all or many of their albums) are: King Crimson, Van der Graaf Generator (rock sans guitars, woohoo!), Sting (no Police albums though), Sinaed O Connor, Enya, Cranberries, Zero 7, Hooverphonic, ERA, White Stripes, Scissor Sisters (yeah, it's only 2, but okay) and Alan Parsons.
edit:
Yeah, the post I'm replying to is old, but this one kinda bugged me.
Well, yes, the only thing I can really say to that is that I try to reach further than the hitlists but know I am barely scratching the surface.
You've made a study out of music, put in way more hours of theory and analysis and listened to way more stuff than I have. I do some searching about and read up on a couple things here and there but I'm not going to be academic about it. We (and I think in general, those that have studied musicology and those that haven't) approach music way differently.
The guideline of stuff that interests me is applied to music that comes across my path (in one way or another, radio, paper, internet). You see, I've noticed the following in my bahaviour: say, I'm confronted with fifteen pieces of music; the one that grabs my attention is usually the one that comes across as the most impressive or intricate (skill or structure wise).
From a musicological standpoint it is narrow yeah. (The list was merely to illustrate that despite liking prog I listen to stuff outside the genre as well, but I think you got that.)
I just listened to a few pieces by Sorabji and I can definately say I do appreciate it. And I assume you mean Christian Lindberg the trombonist? There's also a J-pop band named that.
On the James LaBrie rap, I looked it up, wtf was that?

Nah, truth be told i went through a phase when i was in like 6th grade where i actually liked rap and listened to it all the time, i know all the words to every song on eminems encore album... Really was a waste of my childhood...klc0100 said:
