[LiLEthiopian]

And those are the kind of people that buy albums with all those things in it.

see? He doesn't even care what they're rapping about. As long as he gets his music he's happy Psssh.

I'd listen to people singing about how they feel then listening to someone singing about hoes and pimps..

you forgot one thing...

I hate contemporary rap.

Contemporary.

I'm watching VH1's Don't Wanna Stop: 30 Years of Rap History.
And ya know, all the REAL MC's, the one actually expressing wut they think about the ghettos, their life, society, etc. are worth it. They should be remembered as talented people.

And then there are the contemporary rappers. 50 cent, ja rule, chinggy, lil'jon, east side twins, etc. They talk about the money, the grls, the pop pop pop ima gangsta dun mess wit me (altho I jus haf 4 bouncer bodyguards follow me around everywhere). It's generic. It's unentertaining. It's a softcore pron video mixed with violence and useless partying.

I just wanna support what i just said:

Ja Rule: I do believe he was actually born quite rich. So me makes some albums about the grlsgrlsgrls, $$$, and poppopsniff. He makes it big talking fast. He can't sing for crap. (If anyone remembers that song he made feat. a grl, i dunt)

50 Cent: He was born poor rite? That's what most people think, i think so too. But look at him. He made a video that compares the American black market/gangs with the Triads, Italian Mafia, and the Japan Gang (I'm sorri, iforgot their name). American gangs just shoot each other and act tough in front of each other, and maybe sell some sniffsniff to some random customer. BUt the other int'l gangs like Triads, andthe Mafia are organized crime gangs. They KNOW how to use hteir gang members wisely.. (oops..tangent) anyways, he makes it big talking about beign shot alot, (I dont doubt he got shot in the mouth? his lil lisp..but i dont believe the 9x shot thing). He shows alot of skin w/ the grlsin his videos. So superficial, not what Tupac wanted rap to really be.

And then rap about sex. I don't wanna bother. It's superficial, soemthing rap wasn't meant to be by the founders.

and I admit: I like music based on its melody more than lyrics..so yea. Rap doesnt have much melody.

Change the thread title to "Mainstream rap haters." Thanks.

Seriously, try to freestyle while looking at yourself in the mirror.

Exactly. That guy= WHY IS HE FAMOUS? He chews gum, while he raps. His voice is scratchy and I hate it. Psh, and he released like two albulms in one year, which was clearly all rushed. Its obvious when you've gone down the drain..

[angel-roh]

i wont say i hate rap cause i do listen to it, but depends on the mood i am in.

but when i hated rap was that the songs sounded the same and their voice was annoying and bothering me but then i got used to it.. so now i love hip hop music... hehe

[DaTru KataLYST]

oops!!

[*tweeak*]

I hope no one in this thread is confusing rap with hip hop.

theres not that much difference

[queen]

theres not that much difference

they're completely different things ;o it's like the difference between a sandwich and bread. bread is bread, even though it's included in a sandwich, they're still not the same.

[*tweeak*]

yes, but while people insist theres a difference, i have yet to be told. i ask and they just say theyre different and never give a reason

[xquizit]

yes, but while people insist theres a difference, i have yet to be told. i ask and they just say theyre different and never give a reason

theres a thread about it...

[xxmzkrnpunkster4]

i dont hate rap but i dont really like rap..i mean i listen to rap every once in a while but i dont love it..

[rhqtpie]

i dont get all the people that r sayin that rap takes no talent, and all the lyrics arent the same, i think when most ppl think about rap its about like "pop rap" as in usher wit lil jon, and stuff like that. and i think most ppl don't understand it cuz you havent had to live like them, now i noe that all the rappers havent had to live out on the streets and stuff, and i havent really either, but i have had a harder life than i think alot of the ppl here, so i can relate to a lot of the lyrics cuz rappers just talk about how their life has been. and i noe alot of the mainstream rappers rap about hos and money and stuff but they all dont, like listen to Common's The Light and i will admit that rappers like 50 and and ppl do give rap a bad name, but there r other rappers who rap about real stuff and not jus how much money they have and stuff

hey its my 100th post yay haha

[*tweeak*]

theres a thread about it...

i meant actual people i know, not cb members. i was also typing a research parper while on here earlier, so i couldnt open another screen. ill look it up now though

[School_Boy]

I hate "SOME" rap.....because they're annoying, confusing, and some rap its hard to understand what they're saying cuz they're saying the lyrics to fast. Its just....stupid...~

[x emo screamo x]

theres a thread about it...

Yes there is. I've seen it before. I'm gonna go try & find it.

[*tweeak*]

Yes there is. I've seen it before. I'm gonna go try & find it.

when you do, please bring it back, im lazy...

Mainstream Rap has just gotten into the bling bling and all the money making stuff, rather than the true meaning of music anyway. Money and music are two seperate things.. but rap makes them seemingly intersect. And no, the vocabulary is small and repetitive, thus the songs can be longer.

[christiee_nax]

rap sucks. period. read my sig.

[SFoT_Freak]

1) they're singing too fast and it sounds like they're talking from the news

2) they dance like they're drunk

3) very annoying songs

[*basick*]

this is a stupid thread. most of these people don't know what they are talking about. i agree with xquizit's post on the first page.

^ I second what you just said.

Basically, the poeple who posted here who said all rap is about bling bling crap are referring to most of the mainstream hip hop that gets played heavily, unfortunately, on the radio and MTV/BET. There are some good MAINSTREAM hip hop like The Roots, Talib Kweli, and Kanye West (although he isn't that good as a lyricist, he sends postive messages).


Less than 10% of the hip hop I listen to can be called "mainstream." There are a lot of good hip hop artists in what we call the UNDERGROUND, because they aren't on a major label, don't get much advertising, are less reachable, or get very little radioplay.

There's a formula in the "big, bad" music industry. You have to get artists that have some sort of background that makes the audience interested (I GOT SHOT NINE TIME), or they have some kind of appeal, whether it's by their looks, who they partner with (Chingy used to be with DTP), or you grab all the producers who are hot at moment and get them to produce a song on your album.

Yeah, so this thread should really be called Mainstream Rap Haters like someone mentioned already,
