RE: Rap Anyone ?

The only rap I've been listening to lately is TeamHeadKick on youtube. He/they do loads of raps about videogames.

If fate frowns, we all perish.
Do not fear the darkness, but welcome its embrace.

RE: Rap Anyone ?

I dislike rap; but like every genre, there is at least a few songs that I like.


This is one of my favorites.




And of course, there are some classics that I like such as "Ice Ice Baby" and "U Can't Touch This".

Other than that, I basically hate all rap.

RE: Rap Anyone ?

I dislike rap because the lyrics, melody and rythm is almost the same in every song, vulgar lyrics, passion-free singing, negative attitude against women and the police and encouraging drugs, violence and criminality.

Still hasn't gotten over the loss of wubwub...

Nope. I discovered this a few days ago, and it goes against all the ideas and rap stereotypes you just mentioned





Give it a chance at least; listen to it all the way through before passing judgement, it's the very least I can ask Tongue

I rate it 3 memes.

RE: Rap Anyone ?

Can't stand rap, R&B, country, pop, or techno. And no, I don't like any of the variations thereof either.

Yes, I like rock, metal, and classical.

No, I will not go check out underground acts of this or that just because someone thinks it will change my mind. It won't.

And yes, I am perfectly happy being a close-minded "hater".

Ok I'm sorry, but then how can you say that you're ok with violent video games. I bet you'd see just as much (probably a lot more actually) "encouraging" of all those acts if you played San Andreas for 30 minutes, yet I bet I'd never hear you complain about that in a million years. About it all sounding the same and having passionless lyrics, well, that's just flat out wrong. Sure if all you've heard is what they play on the radio then you'd think that, but there's a lot more than just that out there.

I hate the GTA games.

Violence in video games is fine as long as there a purpose to it. Of course there are exceptions to the rules, such as ridiculous cartoon violence that is there purely for comical value. However, one does not have to condemn or dislike both.

Of course there is other types out there, but that doesn't change the fact that it's still a style of "music" that doesn't appeal to us. I personally don't give a damn how big your yacht is, or how many bitches you have, or how many caps your pop in my ass, or how much weed you smoke a day. I also don't give a damn if you grew up in "da hood", and that mommy and daddy weren't around enough in your life. We get it. One or even two songs is fine. But when it's every fucking song, it gets old. Oh, and yes, we know what your fucking name is. You don't have to repeat it every time you start a new song.

Like it or not, this is the face of rap. It may not be the only style that's there, but it's the style that the masses want. It's what is popular. Therefore all that underground stuff will stay that way.

I can apply much of this to country music as well. My wife listens to country, and it's all about the same crap from song to song.

See this is what I have a problem with. You're making a massive assumption here without even knowing the genre. You said that you just don't like rap, period, and while I still find it a little rediculous to reject an entire genre of music, I can except that... Yet the way you're describing it it really doesn't sound like you know anything about the genre and are just coming to conclusions based on little evidence. Sure, if you jut turn on the radio that's all you're going to hear, but it's a way more diverse genre if you dive further into it. All I'm saying is you can't claim that "you know the face of a genre" when you refuse to listen to anything other than the mainstream crap.
