yes i like jurasic 5.. they dont ahve bad lyrics.. or at least not the songs i have heard

hip hop and rap are two diff things. . .I love hip hop. . .lyrics don't ususally include. . .




"slap her witha dick"

"stick it in her ear"

or

"yo mom"

i like Eminems Sing for the Moment and Lose Yourself from lyrics i can relate to while growing up.
Outkast - Ms Jackson has some pretty good lyrics

outkast is funky and the songs i like of them have no bad lyrics too

When I was growing up, I loved rap and hip-hop. But the older I got, the more I grew away from it. I still listen to Biggy and Pac and KRSOne, the older stuff, because alot of those songs have substance, rather than todays rap and hip-hop where its all a repetitive topic of money, bitches and bling - and who has more of it.

Well-- for me, rap music should be left at the club.

In Houston, there is like one trance club here and most of my friends always go to hip-hop clubs. So yeah, I won't deny it- I join them. I dance w/ hoes who just like to back their ass up on you. And you know what-- I enjoy it. hahah- yeah, so- the point is... I listen to rap music but only at the club.

+1 on old school rap. Warren G, oldschool Snoop, they had it right. Nowadays with Nelly and fiddy...and whoever else? Got nothin to it. 'back in teh day' the rappers really lived what they spit about, and (at first) seemed to be in it for the music, how they liked it, not how best to make the $$$

Yeah!

What?


Yeah!

Yeah!

i dont like black people.

Some rap/hip-hop is OK.

I don't like the "popular" stuff that much - as has been said, it has a tendency towards being violent, degrading, and basically praising everything that it shouldn't. Eminem comes up with the odd exception, but I don't like most of his stuff, either.

Black Eyed Peas, K-Os, Outkast, Wyclef Jean, Lauryn Hill, Pras, and all the good old-school stuff (Run DMC - I LOVE "My Adidas" ), that's good hip-hop/rap. And Sultana. Not only can she rhyme AND sing, but she's SO HOT (in a very classy way, of course ) She featured on Delerium's "Chimera" album on a track called "Ever After..." whooda thunk Delerium would dabble in hip-hop

What?

people gotta realise that what you see on tv is not all there is to rap. its like judging metal by listening to linkin park. i mean you dont want people to judge the trance scene by dj sammy?!
anyway Talib Kweli is an awesome artist, if you think about giving good hip hop a try.

sigh
i still use the term hip-pop cause there's no other way to distinguish it really, most people think hip-hop and rap are the same
and a lot of rap artists call their music hip-hop
idk

anyways...there's still a lot of good shit out there
check out atmosphere, illogic, heiroglyphics, people under the stairs, cunninlynguists, mos def, josh martinez, k-os, blackstar, ozomatli, jurassic 5, aesop rock, blueprint, a tribe called quest, common, dialated peoples, and last but not least, foreign exchange to name a few
(<3 hip-hop)


and as for instrumentals...two names i got for you: dj shadow, rjd2

All that commercial rap and hip hop is just shit.
Older tracks were much better and eminems old songs kill his new stuff today.

Finally someone who speaks the truth, represent!




As for rap, well, i hate the rappers, but some music in a club sounds ok...

what the hell is with Beyonce Knowles winning best dance track of the year all the time.

i listen to a lot of instrumental rap...sick beats minus the degrading lyrics

An old acquaintance of mine used to make stuff like that I once tried by remixing some Super Nintendo music, and it would have been good had the original track not been better suited to Ambient Instrumental is good. In any genre

Mos Def, Talib Kweli, and Immortal Technique.

I like rap that has meaning and isn't about how much of a pimp he is and telling kids how you can get rich by quitting school and becoming a gangsta. 99% of the mainstream rap is absolutely horrible. Generally though, it's musically too simple to captivate my attention.

hip hop has been cheese after 1997 or 1999.

nowadays a rap is made for white ppl thats why it sucks. White ppl don't know shit they should be hanged and fucked up the arse. Listening to bad rap and not even real rap those u see on mtv are sell-outs and fakes.

You do realize the stupidity of your statement?

Unfortunately I can't blame you for saying these things as they are a general state of ignorance in the rap scene.

Hip hop is NOT music it is not RAP it is something you do.
But most of all it is a movement that includes Graffiti Breakdancing and Rapping for roots.

Hip hop as a musical genre is a bogus term.

It's also a very sad state of affairs when most of today's rap artists complete degrade the original values of the music and have no knowledge of the history of it.

it's all bout da bling bling yo!
