i hate rap and disco music so does any one else if you do why it's horrible
yes i expect girls like dance but my favourite rap is gorrilaz but even they don't do alot of it
I had respect for a lot of the early rap: it was quite political and appealed to my punk rock vibe at the time. I was a big fan of the Timezone project with Johnny Rotten and Afrika Bambaataa and "Crack killed Applejack" by General Kane is still one of my favourite songs.
Both punk and rap/hip hip are pretty much debased commerical forms of what they used be. I'm not sure which is worse: posturing fools in gold chains or whiney suburban nerds going all emo on me.
There - rant off my chest
This pretty much mirrors my sentiment towards rap. Except I wasn't alive at the time.
Speaking of emo, the evolution of the term from the mid-80's to now is something like watching a tragedy.
I will confess yeah, I like rap. Nothing mainstream for probably the past ten or more years though. Mainstream rap really started to dive after the whole "gangster era". Now you have crap like crunk and all that garbage.
Some years back my brother turned me on to some underground hip-hop that is pretty sweet. It takes some sifting to find whats worth it, but what you find can be pretty good. Guys like Aesop Rock, El-P, and Sage Francis kick ass. My favorite hometown groups include Atmosphere, Brother Ali, and Eyedea and Abilities. I doubt anyone outside the states would have heard of these guys, but anyone curious can find some of their stuff on the internet.
@Godbob: If you like some of the Gorillaz stuff you should check out Del tha Funkee Homosapien. He did two songs with them, Clint Eastwood and Rock the House.
Also, Beastie Boys can be pretty funny, even if you arent singing along with drunk friends.
no the sort of techno dance sort of thing and ganster rap sorry it wasn't clearer
Disco and techno being lumped into the same category is giving me a brain aneurysm.
I can't quite comprehend how that works either.. Godbob, could you elaborate, perhaps with examples? They're pretty distinctly different genres.
what i mean is stuff like ministry of sound and 50 cent
Who said anything about hating rap?
Godbob, in the first post of this thread.
um.no i didn't ok i did but not that i hate it it's more i dislike it strongly it to me it's not music it's more pressing buttons on a machine that makes sound not like struming a gutar or hitting a drum and i think someone said this but it's so repented and i do like some rap not a very lot but some (mostly hip-hop) but alot of them are about drugs,gangs,guns and pimped-out cars there are some songs which are runened by rap
Easy answer: no. Not at all.
personally i enjoy the soothing music of the sitar...and iron maiden& ac/dc
rap has a silent c apart from gorillaz
