QUOTE(brooklyneast05 @ Sep 16 2009, 07:05 AM)  i just don't get why hip hop is always what gets thrown under the bus. mainstream radio rap...yeah it's dumb often, but mainstream rock isn't any better than radio rap. it's the same bullshit. every single genre has it's good stuff and it has it's shitty stuff. i would definitely question the intelligence of someone who hasn't figured this out yet. robbi's nickle back is a good example. i don't get how someone can honestly listen to that and then listen to nas and think nickleback is smarter because it's rock. nas is infinitely more lyrically complex than shit like nickleback. co-sign. this shit is smart! popular music all shares a common function & that is to masturbate & pacify its audience. |

c'mon nate you know a lot of shit you say / believe isn't popular / a shared belief by tons of others.
i agree with both jc & nate, but i'm not always against listening to popular meaningless pop music. some of that shit's just catchy. doesn't mean i listen to the lyrics to be inspired or understand something about someone or listen to something lyrically intelligent in general, but sometimes its just kinda fun. |

lol^ i think it's crazy that people have to defend why they listen to eminem these days
i think back and this is the same guy that was on forgot about dre, and bitch please II with nate dogg, dre,snoop and xzibit. i do miss this eminem tho: QUOTE [Eminem] See I'm a poet to some, a regular modern day Shakespeare Jesus Christ the King of these Latter Day Saints here To shatter the picture in which of that as they paint me as a monger of hate and Satan a scatter-brained atheist But that ain't the case, see it's a matter of taste We as a people decide if Shady's as bad as they say he is Or is he the latter - a gateway to escape? Media scapegoat, who they can be mad at today See it's easy as cake, simple as whistlin Dixie while I'm wavin the pistol at sixty Christians against me Go to war with the Mormons, take a bath with the Catholics in holy water - no wonder they try to hold me under longer I'm a motherf*ckin spiteful, DELIGHTFUL eyeful The new Ice Cube - motherf*ckers HATE to like you What did I do? (huh?) I'm just a kid from the gutter makin this butter off these bloodsuckers, cause I'm a muh'f*ckin renegade *sigh* now there are rappers with colder lyrics than em' but what seperates em' is the way he arranges them. people that can't see that eminem has some intelligence, and talent, are crazy. weezy wont write that shit. but OP i also listen to dubstep and that doesn't even have lyrics so what does that mean ha. |

some of them were quite funny though, i haven't actually heard of his new album cuz all the reviews i've read says it isnt so good ): but i liked most of his songs, usually the emotional ones like hallie's song and stan than parodies though.

QUOTE(Gigi @ Sep 15 2009, 01:44 AM) ^ You're implying that listening to non-mainstream music makes you think, and therefore makes you intelligent. WRONG. If it could be so simple, all you would need to do is blast some non-mainstream music through the PA system of a run-down inner city school. Intelligence is much, much more than a couple of emo guys writing meaningful lyrics that make you "think". Yes, complex music can give the mind more room to expand its horizons, but you have to have the 'intelligence' to appreciate it in the first place. If you don't possess it, there's no chance in hell you'll give it another chance to actually penetrate your brain and cause a change in your intelligence. Busted on two fronts. Again, correlation =/= causation. It's even a stretch to say that intelligence affects music preference, but the converse is DEFINITELY false. Meh, I guess your right. But I do think that when you listen to some types of music, especially underground rock and rap, it broadens your vocabulary, just like reading does.. they are both forms of story telling. |
