Re: Rap Music
If the lyrics are worthy enough, sure. One of the very few that lives up to that is this one. Dig it!
Re: Rap Music
Okay, now this is a good song: stream-of-consciousness lyrics, semi-experimental instrumentation and a good beat.
Psychedelic rap.

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

Do you hate Drug Cartels? Do You believe that the Drug War is basically a failure? Do you think that if we Legalized the Cannabis market, that use rates would drop, we could put age limits on cannabis, tax it, and other wise regulate it? Join The ORG Marijuana Policy Project!
In American politics, similar to British politics, we have a choice between being shot in our left testicle or the right testicle. Both parties advocate pissing on the little guys, only in different ways and to a different little guy.
Re: Rap Music
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.

"tech n9ne"? "caribou lou"?
hahaha, is that guy being satirical?
now i'm here, and history is vindicated.
Re: Rap Music
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.

Re: Rap Music
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.

Re: Rap Music
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

Re: Rap Music
The idea that lyrical depth is important is silly and pretentious.
Re: Rap Music
Its important if thats what you like lol. I like the club stuff more but you're wrong to say its pretentious.

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...

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

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!)

The purpose of a fish trap is to catch fish, and when the fish are caught, the trap is forgotten. The purpose of a rabbit snare is to catch rabbits. When the rabbits are caught, the snare is forgotten. The purpose of words is to convey ideas. When the ideas are grasped, the words are forgotten. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words? He is the one I would like to talk to.

Re: Rap Music
I listen to some rap/hiphop myself, but I'm no great fan. What I do loath, is all that drug-and-sex-oriented afroamerican rap. I prefer rap with some meaning, if you get me.

Re: Rap Music
Alright I'm back, with some music.
[Completely inappropriate music video—Lemur]
2009 looks good, I'm mostly looking at what Dr. Dre has been producing. Marshall has been producing. Busta has good producers on his coming album. Same goes for Curtis "the police" Jackson's to be released album. Hoping for some new fat beats and good hooks. So, producers, DJ's hurry up!
All I wanna do is... BANG BANG BANG... and take your money...
