Rap "Music"

I'd have to kill them.

I can't stand noisy neighbours.

I think 20-15 yrs ago Rap music was good, and inventive, now its just the same shit rehashed with a different sample.

Best record of the last 20 years, IMHO.

was that before or after "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold us Back" (1988)? & Liam's clearly just trying to get a rise - you cannot dismiss a whole genre of music out of hand - it's far too much of a generalisation.

Largely true, and may of them are ripping off (i.e., sampling) 70's and 80's tunes.

But remember, the likes of grandmaster flash and afrika bambaata used samples themselves, though it was 'original' and inventive then. now its done because no-one has the talent to think of something semi-original and half-decent

True, but at least it wasn't a straight ripoff. It seems to me that a lot of songs now use almost the exact same music, but with different lyrics. It was more subtle back in the day.

What bugs me is how materialistic it is...

Da bling, i got Gucci this, I got a Benz, A Rolly...

So basically, they're top shit cos they have money? Er no, and i've never seen a rapper yet who dresses well, money don't buy taste bro :\ohwell:

Rap music is a bit pants,and Radio 1 plays far too much of it at the moment..

Both shite if you ask me.

But not nearly as shite as:

"Bitch Bitch, Nigga Nigga, Bitch Bitch, Nigga Nigga" and all that shite.

Some slut has got Galaxy 102 on at work. its driving me insane.

I'd rather listen to fucking Pearl Jam, Snow Patrol, The Magic Number and Razorshite and the same time on a continuous loop than listen to this shite.

I know exactly what you mean. It’s never really bothered me much until the guy at work started playing rap music on his pc. I tried to be nice at first so I asked him politely to turn it down cause it was making me lose my concentration. He would turn it down a bit then but for some unknown reason, he never really wanted to know about earphones. But it’s never lasted too long and I got bored of turning his shite music down for him so I had to officially tell him to turn that shit off cause it was only making me nervous. Funny that. Other people in the office sometimes play their music loud too but it never gets on my nerves. I just cannot stand that “gangsta/nigga” talk and I find it very annoying. Poo! But one things worse was that creepy sound coming out of his plastic computer speakers and the fact that he has 50 cent as his wallpaper. Arrrrgggghhhhhhh

Barney, if you're reading this, please incorporate these lyrics into a NO tune at some point.

Can't see that it's any more or less shite than:

"Some slut has got Galaxy 102 on at work"

"It takes a nation of millions...." and "Fear of a Black Planet" are genuinely good records. PE were for a while outstanding. Now though, rap has a silent C in front of it. Fucking MTV is to blame, like it is for all these knobcheese Emo kids and Slipknot grunge bastards with chains and greasy fucking hair and pierced faces. Twats. Grrrrr.

It seems this music is only for the moment. It gets forgotten a couple months after it's been released.

What's really6 sad is that many of the sampling, or stright-ripping off songs isn't realized by the younger gen. They actually believe that the rapper came up with the tunes. It's amazingly stupid crap.

Pal, you are scraping new lows (even for you) with that signature. I suggest you remove it, not least because 'marines and their rifles' have in recent years proven to be no match for an angry Arab with a car full of explosives. BOOM.

Current number of US military personnel who have died in Iraq: 2661.

Number of estimated Iraqi civilians & security forces who have died in August 2006 alone: 1203

Now that's amazingly stupid crap.

Yes, to me that is the saddest part. That the kids don't realize it's NOT new music!

Liam is like some kid in your little sisters class at school who tries to get into her pants by trying to impress you with shit fucking awful impersonations of some crappy comedian who's not even fucking funny in the first place.

Get a grip, lad. It's not even funny any more.

Shouldn't that read "tries (and fails) to get into her pants"?

He aint heavy, He's my Brother-in-Law

back to topic.

It ain't my cup of tea. I'll leave it at that.

Oh yes, the topic.

I think it's the shit

Liam, you are a master shit stirrer, sir. I aint rising to it. As Hibster says, impossible to dismiss any genre as important as hip hop in it's entirety.

Between '97 and 2000 I promoted loads of hip hop gigs at Trash in Glasgow featuring pretty much everybody who was anybody in the "old skool" scene. I went up to Grandmnaster Flash in Nell's Nightclub in New York on a Monday night in '97 when he was DJing to two men and a dog and told him I wanted to bring him over to Glasgow. He gave me his agents number (Cockney expat and influential scenester Ruza Blue) and I brought him over two months later. Over the next three years I brought over Bambatta, Grandwizard Theodore, Jazzy Jay, Grandmaster Caz and the TRUE creator himself DJ Kool Herc as well as booking a whole bunch of touring acts including Jeru Tha Damaja, Jurassic 5 and The Pharcyde.

Happy days.......

And PE are playing the Barras in October.

And I took Schooly D for a Fish Tea in the Blue Lagoon chippie on Sauchiehall Street

Oh come on, Liam. We all know you'll change your tune once Slir Elton John's new hippity-hop album drops like a mad bomb.

Penis-envy still going on? I thought you left that one on the last board. Amazing you can quote numbers that have little to do with the point you are making, other than they are from the same war....good for you!:\party:

Can't say I despise ALL rap...but I know exactly how Liam feels in Work, because I have a simillar fuckwitt in my own place of gainful. She does not listen to Public Enemy or the like....it's STRICTLY the end of the rap spectrum best describe as ....... "nick some other fucker's song, shove a big kick drum on it, say it's your song, then shout "I'm great I'm great I'm great, cos I can rap, I'm a very good rapper, and so I am great and I fuck lots of bitches cos of this, and I have a big cock............." all fucking over it."

I've considered self-harming on a few occasions, stabbing myself in the arm with a knitting needle may have taken the pain away.

the aforementioned public enemy, NWA, run DMC, grandmaster flash and de la soul (probably the best sample ever: their use of steely dan's 'peg') are excellent. so are keith sweat, ll cool j (especially momma said knock you out), a tribe called quest, queen latifah and mc lyte. i don't care for most rap that's around now, but neither do i dismiss a song simply because it's rap. every genre has its poo and its diamonds.
