Nah not really.
Just like to ask if anyone knows when the substitute for music commonly known as (C)rap music will ever die? Also why is it still here when it's now anything but fresh and who actually buys it? And if you are someone who likes it then what is it you find rewarding about listening to it? |

She got a n**** at home Overkill. And one on the side Best friend is a dyke, they ****ed around a few times Her and her mamma alike, so all they do is fight I tell her, "Make me some money," she tell me, "Make me a wife." I tell that "Bitch, you crazy. **** wrong with you?" And excuse my French, but I'm a long kisser And then she try to tell me I'm the only one that's hittin' And I say, "What about them n*****?" She say, "What about them n*****?" You right, what you doing tonight? Put on something tight Don't judge me, I get life She love me like a brother But **** me like a husband P*ssy like a oven Too hot to put my tongue in All I had to do is rub it The genie out the bottle Pussy so wet, I'ma need goggles She tell me that it's mine I tell her, "Stop lying." Mine and who else? She say, "Worry 'bout yourself, Lil Tune." (And mods, don't ban me for posting this, I'm using it as an example of swearing in raps.) |

It depends. I like some rapping, but not when it has constant overkill swearing. Take these lyrics from a Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne song:
Overkill. (And mods, don't ban me for posting this, I'm using it as an example of swearing in raps.) It's so sad to live in a country that had such a wonderful and emotional musical legacy that can move your soul to be reduced to listening to the crudest, inarticulate rubbish some twonk could ever invent. Imagine listening to that crap after listening to Mary Hopkin or the Stone Roses or Enya or the Jesus and Mary Chain or anything you like. How would you honestly rate it then? |

There's no way I can listen to rap music, other than Kelly Rowland's "Dilemma," as that is quite musical (and I like Kelly Rowland).
Most if it for me sounds much the same. There's nothing new about it, it's been around for years. Here's a modern version of a 65 year-old old tune with a "rap" vocal. This I do like. It's a vocal version of a saxaphone solo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWxriapsDes |

the popular rap acts have become a parody, always on about bitches, hoes, big asses, guns, money. But when rap is used in protest about social issues it still is quite powerful, just a shame people do't seem to want that stuff

See what you mean about the 'rap' vocal except that the girl is actually singing. With a perfectly lovely voice too.
That piece is not exactly my cup of tea but i enjoyed it anyhow and it goes to prove the point the music should be a human pleasure to be savoured and not rammed in your face like someone's ass with a gun pointing out of it It's written around the chords of "I'm in the Mood For Love," but not the refrain. it's because many rap artists can't sing you get what you get. |

The music industry will never promote any positive, uplifting or truly rebellious music anymore. And it's got to be largely down to the consumer who sucks up all the hoes, butts and guns etc garbage |

Of course she is singing, it's more like "Scat" singing, but with a written lyric.

Maybe they should try different occupations, like appearing in the Daily Mail slebs strip cartoon every day. oh what a minute.... Like that girl's voice but it will get better as she matures. |

I've always disliked rap and the worst thing ever was when it started to appear in metal with nu-metal and rap-metal.

As long as recently post pubescent retards have cars, rap will exist for the little morons to blare out of the windows in public car parks to show people how hard they are.

I do love these "I don't get it so it's crap" threads

As long as it's got decent "music" behind it ala Red Hot Chili Peppers, rage against the machine etc, then I don't mind it.
It's the idiots who rap over backing tracks and clapping beats I can't stand. |

Rap and mainstream 'hip hop' are filth that have polluted the minds of the young so over the past 20 years that it is a contributing factor to why swathes of today's youth are so ignorant, arrogant and swaggering. It is the thing I would second most like abolished from existence after flies and wasps.
Rap was fairly tolerable in the 70s and 80s, until Public Enemy rebranded it into a 'political' tool - ie, loads of swearing and aggression. I acknowledge that plenty will proclaim their particular 'brilliance', but it's not for me I'm afraid. Here's Mae West rapping in the 70s in her 70s ![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6HBqcoEyTg |

Rap is a technique that can be used in music, rather than a music form in itself.

'Places flame retardant vest on' However I fear I may be in the minority when I state that Will Smith is still one of my favourite rap artists. |

i don't understand this point of view. i don't like classical music, so i don't listen to it. i wouldn't shame someone for enjoying it, i'd just leave them to it. grow up a bit and realise that people have different tastes in things.
