How can anyone stand listening to this junk.
It isn't music. It makes me sick.
Please, please go away, and go make real music.

Nah, this is more of discussion of rap music, rather than a "listen to this when you are high" topic, which is what the tunes section consists of.

People only think "rap is wack" is because of all the shitty mainstream out there but it gets alot better than that.

Umm hate to break it to you but they dont only rhyme in rap. They rhyme in pop, metal, slow etc songs. Seems like you know nothing about MUSIC at all and your into that pop shyt. I love rap and i also like some rock songs cause of the lyrics. The only difference is how its deliverd. But once again you dont know that cause you know shit about music.

Keep watching mtv.

Figuring how I've been playing musical instruments my whole life, I know quite a deal about music, and I mostly only listen to instrumental. If you've ever heard a rap, they don't sing, they just talk about their life in the hood or their bitches and ho's. Yea, alot of songs rhyme lyrics, but there is no need if you are on the same note.
In conclusion:
Rap isn't music.
And the fact that people call it music is a disgrace to real musicians.

You are ignoring a large part of what hiphop music is, and that's what the dj is doing with the beats and the melodies.

You are also closing your mind to some very fine pieces of great musical worth, and I pity you. There is a lot of underground hip hop that is much more content and idea rich than what you have experienced according to your posts.

Generally the better hip hop isn't like this, he best stuff isn't the gangsta rap, its the other stuff out there, there is a lot more variety than you seem to think there is. Normally I listen to rock but more recently I've started listening to hip hop, especially when I am smoking, its just something I find you have to get used to.

some of the guys who put together the beats that go into these rap songs are pretty good....i just have a problem with guys singing about tthemselves, how big their dicks are and how much they like to screw chicks in the ass......some rappers rap about meaningful things but the majority talk shit like big dickhead home boys that are still iving at home with their mothers :?
