Rap Music

[Strike For The South]

Anyone else a fan besides me?

[Reverend Joe]

I listen to very little. Didn't listen at all before I had heard of MF Doom; a rapper inspired by shrooms and comic books rather than crack is quite a refreshing change.

By the way, anyone know of any other such out-there rappers?

[Moros]

Nah! Where are the times them MC's just announced the DJ's. They should have stick to that. Though I must admit that while most of it is cheesy moneymaking :daisy:, there's are some gems if you look close enough.

[FactionHeir]

Rap and Hiphop I absolutely loathe. Sorry, had to get that off my chest.

isn't flo rida a rapper? lols

[KarlXII]

Aight I be listen to Snoop while smacking dem hoes, be taking down (slur) before da coppas show. Got my bling on my neck, and my gun in my ride, be wearing pimp clothes, they be looking fly. Got "Peace" and "Love" tatooed on my fingers. Riding through da hood picking up dem swingas!!! Oh!


Me? Not much, no.

[LeftEyeNine]

If we're talking about the composition of bigger-than-his-brain-sized blings, hemorrhagingly idiotic level of luxury show-off and gigantic pairs of buttocks mean to be rap. NO.

If we're not talking about that disgusting MTV bastardization, some groovy beat with harmonical sets of words spiced with catchy samples are never bad for one's ear.

[Hosakawa Tito]

I used to have to listen to some New York City cable tv rap stations, some were in Hispanic too, while at work covering inmate recreation at the jail. Maybe it's a generational/cultural thing, my dad hated the rock music I listened to as a kid, but for me it's....umm....:daisy:. Yeah, definitely :daisy:. different strokes for different folks

[Fragony]

Rappers are to music what hooliganis are to football.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Sure, rap music is party music. That's why it's so popular.

[Ronin]

if you mean american/english "gangsta" rap...I listen to very little of it....I consider it acceptable as "soundtrack" music on a movie or tv show...but I wouldn´t listen to it...same if you go to a club....I don´t mind listening to it at a club...but I wouldn´t listen to it at home.

there is one brazilian rapper that I rather like, Gabriel "O Pensador" (the thinker) is a great artist in my opinion, his songs are not straight rap but add a lot of other musical flavors, also also sings about more important subjects then how many "hos" he got last month.

If the lyrics are worthy enough, sure. One of the very few that lives up to that is this one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3iryBLZCOQ). Dig it! :2thumbsup:

[Reverend Joe]

Okay, now this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3uYynkncYs) is a good song: stream-of-consciousness lyrics, semi-experimental instrumentation and a good beat.

Psychedelic rap.

like most genres, i listen to a bit of it, here and there.

Pure Classic: Big Pun:How We Roll Feat. Ashanti (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBHrr4Vm3lM)

As you can tell from this track, It was made before Rap became the bulldookie it is today.

A lot of the Underground stuff has stayed true to the roots though. PaceWon:Hip Hop...Yeah this guy's from Newark, which is close to where i live. You can see the Highway sign for it in the beginning. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiitY35xx1g)

Sorry dude but IMNSHO He's one of the worst there is. Completely commercialized materialistic crap.

If you wanna rap about money and Possesions and such, at least do it in a way that takes skill.

See the Big Pun track i posted earlier.

[Quid]

I have got a question: I have been looking for a song for ages. It's a rap (as far as I can tell) and the chorus is sung by some Russian opera singer (in Russian). The song must have been sort of a hit (at least over here in the Old World) in the 90s. Can anyone help?

You can probably tell, that I am not very well versed in the art of rap music. My apologies. Also, this has probably nothing to do with the topic. Some more apologies.

Wayne IMO is better his beats his voice the whole thing. He has a lot more skill. Pun doesnt have the beats to compare with Wayne or other mainstream guys nor does he have the lyrical depth to compete with guys like Aesop rock or immortal Technique.

The Beats may not be as good, I will admit wayne has better beats,(he died of a heart attack in i think '97) But his Lyrics Suck. I would go as far as to say you might be right about Tech, but i'm not gonna do that. Pun was a LEGEND! I cant say whether tech is better.

Oh, and I cant figure out what Aesop is talking about 90% of the time. And its not because i dont understand the words, its that his bars just dont make sense.

oh, and i'm gonna repost this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSWE3JTScFg.


He's sooooo much better than wayne. And dont go saying that "wayne's beats are better" because thats a DJ Premier track.

[Strike For The South]

Wayne can surprise you from time to time but he is really just party music. Tech is legit I would put his lyrics up against anyone else's

[Sasaki Kojiro]

The idea that lyrical depth is important is silly and pretentious.

Its important if thats what you like lol. I like the club stuff more but you're wrong to say its pretentious.

Rap with the rude amount of ice and bling, thats not rap. Thats just disgusting.
Rap with a message, thats rap.

[Alexanderofmacedon]

Disgusting. And you call yourself a Texan....

[Mikeus Caesar]

I'm a white middle class British guy who listens to Nirvana and Sinatra, and i quite like rap when there's more to it than nines, bling and bitches.

Also, while we're on the subject of rap, my personal favourite at the moment...

yeah i used to like his stuff alot, but he changed, started making all these corny songs, completely sold out to interscope, and on top of that there is evidence that he started rapping the way he did when he was so awesome, because he took a bunch of other people's styles and put it together.

Examples of his stuff BEFORE he Bit other peoples steez.

Eminem-Infinite(1996:yes:) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtRbEgoTqQs)

Eminem-Tonight, and -Maxine. (1996) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52K4lMeuhNk)

After He linked up with a New Jersey group called the Outsidaz (I live in NJ) he totally changed his style due to being in their group.

EX:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXjN58aMAZI

Notice he shouts out Outsidaz, and Young Zee and Pace Won, both members of the Outsidaz.

Outsidaz Feat. Eminem-Macosa (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3K9vwDZUEM)

Outsidaz Feat. Eminem-Rush Ya Clique (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQYptL_N6Hk)

There is also evidence he stole from Cage...some say that its the other way around but i doubt it because Cage came out first.

Cage-Agent Orange (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfsqvQ4f8Ao)


Now examples of the WACKNESSSSS he turned into after he sold out to Interscope.

Just Lose It (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpPjuyzrnio)

Cleanin out my closet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lS7qqbkBAL0)

In response to his newfound commercialism and WACKNESS, PaceWon(his old friend from the Outsidaz) Dissed him with this track: Pacewon- Rap Music (eminem Diss) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXLwCMABV5c)


Granted some of his stuff was good even after he made it big,(especially the songs dissin Benzino and Ja Rule) but he went down hill after a while.

That's a lot more in depth than I ever thought Eminem was. I'm not a huge fan, I just like a few of his songs.

[AlexanderSextus]

yeah most people dont know about him and outsidaz...i prolly wouldnt if i didn't live in New Jersey.

Eminem never responded back to the diss from his old friend PaceWon. He had beef with Canibus too and his diss track was better than Canibus's response, but after Em said a bunch of stuff talkin crap about him on a video, Canibus Responded back and totally destroyed him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMuDpffr_w0

He destroys him on this one too (ZOMG he kills him so bad!!!) Curriculum 101 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3gaaynx3dU)

You my friend, sound like the type to dig Immortal Technique (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s097bIS-rKg)

[Subedei]

I listen to very little. Didn't listen at all before I had heard of MF Doom; a rapper inspired by shrooms and comic books rather than crack is quite a refreshing change.

By the way, anyone know of any other such out-there rappers?

You might wanna listen to Aesop Rock, The Puppet Masterz, The Disposable Heroes of Hipocracy (rare but awesome, Mike Franti used to be MC), Meat Beat Manifesto, Food for Animals and the like. DJ Dangermouses "Grey Album" may be of special interest!

Generally speaking:
Besides all sorts of sound I have a very close relation to HipHop/ Rap. There are artists like Gangstaar, A Tribe Called Quest, The Beasties, EPMD, Eric B. and Rakim, Dre, Snoop, Knderzimmer Productions (German), The Pharcyde, Timbaland, to name but a few.

There is good rap music out there, but 2 all of those bling bling shouting braindamaged hooligan rappers shouting over some mobile phone samples...my illustrious arse!

[Wasp]

I like it, but mostly semi-underground kinda stuff. Like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvt062uFnl4). Or something more old-school like Jedi Mind Tricks. None of that gangsta or MTV stuff for me, no sir.

[Dutch_guy]

Rappers are to music what hooliganis are to football.

Agreed, now if only my friends would see the light ~;).

:balloon2:

[Hepcat]

Most of it isn't really my thing but I can enjoy some rap.

[seireikhaan]

You my friend, sound like the type to dig Immortal Technique (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s097bIS-rKg)
Actually, no. IT seems to be very militant, whilst Flobots are pacifist. Plus, I find Flobots more musically appealing.

[Togakure]

Rap is not for me, but I do dig one artist who raps, like an old soul record:

Wiki link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meshell_Ndegeocello)

This is beyond rap though. I'm not sure how it would be classified. One clip seems to be from a jazz show. Anyway, a very underrated bassist/songwriter. Luv her style, luv her stuff ...

(and loved those nights of endless dancing with you, Chile, wherever you are!)

[Wasp]

Masamune, that's pretty cool stuff. Never heard of 'r, but I dig it ~:)

[Praxil]

I listen pretty much everything coming out. I'm hungry for the music, so producers are more important for me than the artists singing whatever they sing. I also listen a lot of instrumental mixtapes. Whole DMX discography is great. M.O.P., Cypress Hill, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, I have been listening everything from them for a long time now. Nas had great albums till Street's Disciple album came out. Luda has some great stuff and Wu Tang also.

I mean I haven't been listening the lyrics for over 8 years now. It's all about the beats, the music. All that Beefing and throwing punch lines between various artist, was kind of fun few years ago. At least some of the best beats are on the background of those tracks.

[Ronin]

after seeing Tom Cruise hilarious dance to a rap song on the movie Tropic Thunder my respect for rap is kinda restored...and for Tom Cruise also....man that was funny :laugh4:

la Rumeur, le monde ivre", "the drunk world". by far the best lyrics in contemporary french rap. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Rumeur

and also http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=R0AKWWYulpA&feature=related also ten years old, alas.... a song about one of the band's leader going back to Togo, and being treated a nigger by his cousins, felling like sitting between two chairs.

Gangsta rap is the personification and manifestation of a culture in need of education and/or bulldozers. Whatever happened to 80s rap, when the song wasn't just about toking or smacking up your woman of ill repute?

it still exists, my theory is that record execs want to project black people as stupid and ignorant people who only care about money, and will not sign anyone who promotes good hip-hop.

[TruePraetorian]

I am most definatley a fan. I prefer not to listen to crappy, mainstream "rap" like soulja boy.

My most listened to rapper is Game, lol he's in my sig if you want to hear a song. I think that he is an amazing lyricist and deserves a place in the HoF of rap "next to snoop, behind pac."

[LittleGrizzly]

I have heard some stuff from the game that is quite good, i especially like the one (is it an apology or something) i didnt mean to walk away... i meant every word that i said like la la la.... (something like that)

I basically listen to whatever my friends have on, and they are big rap fans, i quite like party stuff as its being called, 50 cent in da club that kind of stuff.... but my favourite music is the stuff with a real message and real meaning to the words... I T is a legend but as far as songs with a meaning go imo you'll be hard pressed to beat this

Flipsyde - Happy Birthday

That was a good sone you put on there. As far as message it was great, but I like mine with substance AND "raw"ness. But again good song.

And yeah T.I. is a record beast, hes had the top spot on billboard for like 5 months with Whateva you like, and now hes gonna have it for another 3 months with Live your life...crazy.

If you want good rap songs just check my sig, i'm starting to put in some of my favorite songs.

And the song with Game and Busta Rhymes is called "The Docter's Advocate". He appologizing to Dre because of what he said in the song "Da S :furious3: t" which is another story.

"It's still Aftermath and ain't nuthin' after that"

I fear I listen to too much music :clown:

All I wanna do is... BANG BANG BANG... and take your money...

Any more of this hide & seek games with inappropriate material by certain repeat offenders...and it's going to be BANG BANG BANG...temp ban.

This thread is both sad and good - sad that people hate rap without cause, but good that some people are posting what good rap is - at least my definition :) I'm typically an indie kid so yeah...

I won't post any videos for fear of copping a ban (srsly..just some people speaking their minds) but I really hope someone checks out the songs I mention.

I love Black Star (Mos Def and Talib Kweli, with common and others in a lot of songs..)

RE: DEFINITION

for starters..

Pharoahe Monch has a great song called 'No Mercy', here's some lyrics so you can see why:
This rhyme, will remain in the minds of my foes forever in infamy
The epitome of lyrical epiphanies
Skillfully placed home we carefully plan symphonies
Who would be ignorant enough to have the audacity
to **** wit the likes of I and my tenacity?

I listen to some rap, but most of it is just people who all they care about is money, like snoopdog and 50cent, does anyone here think they care about anyone other than themselves? I honestly think that most modern music is complete crap, especially all of that techno crap that a lot of people are listening to (where I live anyway), why is it that I could listen to Ride the Lighting and the Soviet national amthem over an over again?

Oh come on you people, rap can be like this too....

I know, rap can be good, but most of the modern stuff is, Public Enemy's not bad.

It's the Game and lil Wayne - my life... but it is done by a woman (with an awesome voice!) and a piano... is awesome... even if you don't like rap i would suggest a listen!

I listen to very little. Didn't listen at all before I had heard of MF Doom; a rapper inspired by shrooms and comic books rather than crack is quite a refreshing change.
Actually. I kinda like him, I usually don't really listen to hip-hop, rap or any other similar music. Maybe it's because I finally understand trance/rave/techno music, it's like electric tribal beats.

There only 1 or 2 rap songs I actually enjoy listening to. The rest of it is trash in my opinion.

The original rap version is still the best IMO. I think the game has good flow and he sort of sounds a bit closer to the 90's rappers who piloted west coast rap.

Your very wrong I'm afraid. Listen to shook ones pt.2 by Mobb deep or straight outa compton by N.W.A and then tell me rap is trash. rappers like this are extremely talented and have great flow, when people say that rap takes little "skill" when compared to other forms of music they are extremely wrong.

[General SupaCrunk]

Anyone else a fan besides me?

Yeeaaahh!!! I like the most Lil Jon & The EastSide Boyz

Although I come from a prog-rock direction I really enjoy some high standard Rap. Mostly german, but also stuff like Mos Def etc.
I think it's important to be open minded when it comes to music, so I really can't understand how some people hate rap just because they saw some silly people rap about money and "girls".

If anyone is interessted in how german rap sounds here is a youtube link (although posting youtube music links is pretty much senseless)
