Anyone else a fan besides me?
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?
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.
Rap and Hiphop I absolutely loathe. Sorry, had to get that off my chest.
Go 'way. Shoo.Quote:

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.
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.
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:.Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Rappers are to music what hooliganis are to football.
Sure, rap music is party music. That's why it's so popular.
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.
-shudders-
Rap = abomination
I spot an oxymoron.:juggle2:
If the lyrics are worthy enough, sure. One of the very few that lives up to that is this one. Dig it! :2thumbsup:
Okay, now this 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.
Illest thing i have heard to date. THIS IS HIP HOP. Ill Bill:Society is Brainwashed-Produced by DJ Premier.
Pure Classic: Big Pun:How We Roll Feat. Ashanti
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.

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.
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.
Quid
Gabriel o Pensador stuff:
Racismo é burrice (Racism is dumb)
Ate quando? (until when?
lorraBurra (dumb blond)
Tas a ver (can you see?)
"tech n9ne"? "caribou lou"?
hahaha, is that guy being satirical?
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.Quote:

Ive posted this here before.
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.Quote:

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