Snoop Dog, Ice Cube and Bone Thugz (1 Viewer)

[hiphophooray123]

Listening to music alone does not make you an expert on it. I use this actually quite simple terminology not to sound smart but with meaning idiot.

Texture is the layers of sound, rap music generally never changes this layer and keeps it constantly the same. Same instruments (that are actually not even played by a musician), same dynamics and same range and register.

Even those artists who are not so mainstream and there is very little difference between the two. The sublte difference is in the lyrics. By the way, enough of writing lyrics they do not prove any point at all... let me know of some rap songs that have diversity!
Something that changes! I am asking to be proved wrong here, I guess that is also being ignorant aswell though right?

shutup you listen to the fucking radio and then judge rap off that, no, don't u dare fkn say 'rap never changes its layer etc' like a pompous asshole if you havent explored the genre

why must i repeat myself for you to get it through your thick fucking head

stop replying


ok go check out:


the roots
the pharcyde
gym class heroes
nas
public enemy
old ice cube (ameriKKKas most wanted)
eric sermon
DJ Quik (who also produces very musical tracks)
talib kweli
mos def
immortal technique
old jay-z (reasonable doubt)
blackalicious
the cool kids
spank rock
old school bone thugs n harmony
old school scarface
UGK


to name a few, go REALLY explore their entire discographies. You can't be bothered? What's that? You'd rather stay with your mainstream idea of rap eh.

and most importantly, go check out OutKast and their entire discography, starting from southernplayacadillacmuzik and end with stankonia (check out love below if you want but you'll most likely write it off) actually, there's no point you are already filled with extreme bias and you seem like a thick headed close-minded cunt so it's no use, i guess growing up and delving into different types of art as you mature is the only way for you.


seriously, everything about your post screams 'misinformed typical hsc music student who predominantly listens to metal and is angry when he sees that its not doing as well on the charts as pop singers/pop rappers'

I have explored rap music with an open ear. My brother was obsessed with rap music when he went through his young teenage life 13-15, but he came to his senses and realised how repetitive the genre is.

oh cool your brother, when he was 15, listened to phase-induced mainstream rap? omg wow what an enlightened musical upbringing you must have had!

 

[hiphophooray123]

Thanks.

she was joking u fucktard, you are a typical HSC music student that occasionally stumbles onto this forum and then talks shit and then gets e-demolished and has NOTHING, it happens alot.

[hiphophooray123]

no, see what promoters do, is be all honkey and be like 'lol bling bling money aint a thang lol' when black pplz are involved so they named the good seats 'the chronic' it's just a name


everyone, everywhere in that building will be smoking weed lol

 

[housah0lic]

Oh really? Man I did not realise that she was joking I thought she was being serious!

"E-demolished" must be the lamest word I have ever heard. It is not talking shit it is talking about the subject of shit.. cRAP music.

I have not just listened to mainstream rap music, I have thoroughly explored rap music and have heard many underground rap artists and there is no variety once again... There is still no evidence in rap music having any sort of changes in their style and is blend. I believe you are the one coming up with NOTHING all the time, when your arguement is the SAME!


you're a giant clitoris!!!

tbh hiphophooray, i agree with mclovin. i don't agree that rap is a bunch of meaningless words, but i do agree that you're pretty shit at arguing. you resort to insults to prove your case, but all that really does is make your case all the more flimsy.

 

[Js^-1]

Just because I like REAL music, doesn't mean that I have a 'closed' mind. The genre of Rap is an affront to music, and even calling it music is a bit of a misnomer. Rappers should just write their crappy, ill-rhyming poems instead of singing them.

 

[hiphophooray123]

um my arguments the same because there is only one real argument, if you can't see something that's there (diversity) then you are lying when you say you have explored hip hop music....that or you really aren't as perceptive as HSC music students generally think they are.

what's worse than being a pretentious wanker? a wannabe-pretentious-wanker, in case you didn't notice, you are one of them.

do you really want me to sit here for 30 minutes and type out a long, formal, essay?

this is not a debating competition.

It is a bunch of 1-minute-replies to a bunch of little kids. which i do admit, is sad, but it is frustrating to know people still think like this and pigeonhole music, but i guess that's all they are, little unperceptive wannabe-wankers.

fair enough.

Haha nice spelling...How about any music that uses instruments? You may as well get rid of the shit singers in rap and just have the synthesized music. By the way, if its so lame to be arguing about it, why do you continue to do so?

 

[icraig88]

Lost generation, fast paced nation
World population confront they frustration
The principles of true hip-hop have been forsaken
It's all contractual and about money makin
Pretend-to-be cats don't seem to know they limitation
Exact replication and false representation
You wanna be a man, then stand your own
To MC requires skills, I demand some shown
I let the frauds keep frontin
And roam like a celluar phone far from home
Givin crowds what they wantin
Offical hip-hop consumption, the 5th thumpin
Keepin ya party jumpin with an original somethin
Yo, I dedicate this to the one dimension-al
No imagination, excuse for perpetration
My man came over and said, "Yo we thought we heard you"
Joke's on you; you heard a bitin-ass crew but um..

This is how I represent I rock the mic 110 percent
It's intimate, I keeps the party moving like a imigrant
Binary Star, superstar its no coincidence
Every verse is intricate, this ain't a circus in a tent
We don't get down like them clowns and the kids
I'm use to being indegent, who said its all about the Benjamin's?
I wanna fortune, I wanna make music and hit the lottery
Fortunately my music is never watery
That's how its gotta be, as far as I can see
Maybe you should grab a telescope to see my veiw its like astronomy
It aint all about economy
so the fact that these wack emcees is making G's don't bother me
Honestly, my number one policy is quality
never sell my soul is my philosophy
High velocity, lyrics like Nastradamus make a prophecy
I told you cats a long time a go it ain't no stoppin' me
I bomb your set that's not a threat its a promise
Got everybody ridin' on my wagon like the Amish
But still I never claim to be a big rap star
So no matter who you are its still Allah who act God
Better believe this, most rappers can't achieve this
I'm bad to the bone but x-rays can't even see this
See I'm strategic I letcha money talk bullshit walk
While I keep it rollin' like parapalegics
Whoever's on the microphone let it be known
You in danger, I got next(necks) like the Boston Strangler
You ain't never heard an emcee speak like this
And Rodney King ain't never felt a beat like this

two best verses ever.. period.....

What makes you think im a pretentious wanker? or wannabe- pretentious wanker?
The fact that I dislike rap music for many many reasons and there is proof in the mainstream and underground areas of this genre that there is little to no variety. Do you want me to spend my whole life searching for a rap song with more than 3 changes in terms of the concepts of music?

Looking for a good rap song is like a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there!
