Women disrespecting themselfs?? :S?

[SubKamran]

Because [mainstream] rap consists of horribly inane lyrics coupled with poor English grammar. At least acapella and classical require musical knowledge, unlike 50 Cent. Yes, there is some rap that's good, that actually was spent time on, but most of the crap you hear on radio stations sucks.

Then we have this nu-metal crap. It used to be that you had to have talent to get a record deal, now everyone can get one. Why does everything sound the same? Of course, there are some GREAT modern artists, but you listen to all these new bands on your rock music stations... Doubledrive, Lo-Pro, 3 Days Grace, Fall out boy, Yellowcard, Mudvayne, Deftones, etc. etc. All these people sound alike, they have one catchy riff and that's all they build on. At least bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest weren't BORING and sounded the same!

Some people just laugh and go, "Oh you people just can't appreciate these artists' music." No, I do like a lot of modern artists, but I like ones that have musical talent. I listen to a lot of non-mainstream metal but I also listen to a lot of "mainstream" music too, and not just metal, I listen to everything from blues to classical to death metal.

It's not that there weren't crap artists way back when too, but nowadays ANYONE can put their music places. And you know what? Maybe it's just taste. We went through disco, we went through rock and roll, I guess now we're going through nu-metal. However, lately I've been seeing a rise in mainstream artists who are coming through with older-sounding music and that's becoming popular.

God knows, it seems like today everyone wants the top music video instead of being musical.

Exactly. Crazy Frog is an example of this D:

 

[Vegeta897]

most pop mucisians couldnt play, write, produce a note of music if their life depended on it

What? Then where does the music come from?

I never claimed it did, nor did the article. I just find it funny how the types of people who watch hours of rap videos a day are people who have a greater tendency to contract STDs or attack their teachers.

Greater tendency than what? Greater tendency than people whom are deaf?
People whom listen to classical?
People whom listen to J-rock or metal or country or what?

It proves nothing. Any results they could have possibly found within the study are inconclusive and pointless.

black people shoot more people, there happy?

They shoot more black people. White people shoot more white people, Columbians shoot more Columbians.

I will not be happy until someone shovels my driveway so I do not have to do it.

"Although slightly less true now than before,
most murders are intraracial "
# From 1976 to 1998 --

* 86% of white victims were killed by whites
* 94% of black victims were killed by blacks


I found this by chance, but I knew it to be true beforehand. It's common sense.

Chicano rap, quite a bit of it is excellent. Especially the ryhmes that combine language to be effective.

You know they talk from the heart. Hell even Lil' Rob. No Future in It is the best example, speaking back to the old neighborhoods in a pretty common sense way. Yeah they're gonna mess with stuff, but he's saying damn be safe man.


No Future In It
Lil Rob, yeah
It's kinda ****ed up man
All these kids wanna be grown up
"Gangsta Gangsta" and all that kinda shit
Yeah I'll be honest wit'chu eh
You smoke marijuana dawg but that's about it
It's better to cut loose eh y'know?
[Lil Rob]
Chamaco's on the calle livin la vida loca
Eleven years old, experimenting with drogas
Smoke a little weed, snort a little coca
I'll just try it one time homey to see que onda
It's so addictive and they get so addicted
Becomes a habit they gotta have it and they can't kick it
There's nothin funny about bein a druggie
I know a lot of people ****ed up, became a junkie
Used to dress clean started lookin kinda bummy
True what they say you can learn a lot from a dummy
You get wrapped up in it, like a mummy
Next thing you know you're in your hefa's purse stealin her money
And you got it so bad, if you ain't got it you go mad
Won't stop until you get a toetag
Somebody please, gimme just a minute homey
To let them know that there ain't no future in it homey
[Chorus: Lil Rob]
We like to get all ****ed up you know, holmes?
("There ain't no future in it homey")
We do drugs 'til we're all sucked up you know, holmes?
("There ain't no future in it homey")
I smoke weed cause it grows from a seed but that other shit
("There ain't, no future, in it")
Cause if it makes you scratch and bleed, twitch and shit
("Homey I ain't ****in with it")
[Lil Rob]
Hey holmes just like Mrs. Jones, we both know
that it's wrong but it's much too strong to let it go
Some do, some don't, the ones that don't are ****ed
Always end up stuck in a rut
In love with the drug, do sick shit for a fix
Too many good people ended up in that mix
They scratch and they twitch, they stand and they sit
But they can't sit still, the drug's the chill pill
They do what they do, and I'll let 'em be
Cause in reality they ain't botherin me
Even though it's kinda ****ed up to see
I can only feel lucky that, that isn't me
But you know it coulda easily been
It's not like it wasn't around all over the town
People lookin for the drogas, their head in the ground
Another overdose, another body was found
[Chorus]

[Lil Rob]
I don't have to prove to you what I been through
Just lettin you know I seen and what I been into
We'd go out, we'd stay late 'til the day breaks
We'd be in Cisco drinkin and huffin spraypaint
Sparkin it up, pointin the spray plate
Gettin ****ed up 'til we can't see straight
Hit the calles to go start some havoc
And go gangbangin in my homeboy's Maverick
I remember, bumpin some ace fly
My cuete's loaded and so am I
And you could tell by the look in my eyes
That I ain't givin a **** homeboy, we live to die
But that was just the thing to do at the time
Get together, get high, and go pull some crimes
But the truth is, you've got a ****ed up mentality
Bet, you're gonna get a ****ed up reality, check

[Chorus]

Summer Nights is a feel good Lil Rob joint. If that song is indicitive of an entire album's content I'd buy it up quick like.

I would really recommend Twelve Eighteen. It's a great album and Summer Nights is the best party music on there, I love when that plays when we're all feeling alright!

i still stick with the good old rock, even though i agree some rap is ok, and takes some thinking at least, mainstream = shit

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

Yeah I agree. Also it seems to vary more in rap.

I've heard horrible, no talent BS by some rap artists.

But then they'll have a string where they put out 5 incredible compilations.

And then after that's done with, put out some alright stuff, not GREAT, not 'crap' either.



I don't really tend to see that with other genres. When someone sucks they tend to usually suck most of the time. When someone is awesome they tend to rarely ever put out crap.

Jurassic 5. i'm more into the indie scene, but J5 is awesome hip-hop.

 

[_Z_Ryuken]

Jurassic 5 and awesome usually go hand in hand. I've never heard anyone say they don't like them.

 

[JNightshade]

I DON'T LIKE THEM!

well, that's a lie

On topic, all of this is just a depressing sign of the times. Its bad now, its gonna be worse in the future. Skanks outnumber normal women 10 to 1, or something like that.

At least it's easy to get laid by a freak.

Then you just marry the good girl.
