Re: People into rap (rant)

Rap is the only new form of music since the 50's, so it has to be respected. <br />I don't like it, can't stand most of it, but I sure can appreciate people wanting something of their own. Something their parents don't like. <br />Thank god my parents never made me listen to their stuff. My dad liked boxcar willie.

Re: People into rap (rant)

Only problem I have regards rap is the prostitution of it.<br /><br />I once owned a Lp titled "Blow Flys Rap" Got that LP when the appartment across from me was raided, and the guy busted for dealing. Old lady complex manager asked If I wanted anything that was in the joint after Kelvin was removed and the cops were done. That time in my life was very motivational as to how not to live and as a result live where I did.<br /><br />That album was real true Negro Rap. Best I have ever heard.<br /><br />This was 17 years or so ago, and modern rap is nothing like what was recorded then.<br /><br />Kinda like the Blues. Old blues is classic, unable to be remade.

Re: People into rap (rant)

Music is a very personal thing, Pony. I understand your being a bit miffed by the "generalisation", but i also understand the resentment that spurred it. I happen to like any music that moves me emotionally. To me, that is the 'be-all/end-all' to what defines "good music".<br />I happen to like very little (but some} rap and R&B, but what i do like accross the format board, i listen to at a volume level sufficiant for my own enjoyment.<br />What ANGERS me to the point of agreement in total with 18Rabit.....The technique used for personal enjkoyment of rap seems to be at a voliume level sufficiant to rattle the china cabinet in my living room, or the rearview mirror from the windshield of my truck to end-up in my lap! <br /><br />I happen to really like traditional music from the British Isles. I like it a whole lot. It moves me --- but i do not force the car next to me to listen to it also!<br />When rap listeners respect my little piece of space within the confines of my own truck cab, i will respect theirs. In the meantime, i can kick-in the Leese-Nevile alternator and the 2kw Jensen amp, and crank the "The Chieftains" enough to overwhelm their intrusions. But do not get the impression that i'm thrilled to have to do that! And also, do not get the impression that i can respect anyone who insists i listen to their crap.

Dont worry about it,i listen to rap too,been listening to it since school i also listen to country,blues,classical,bluegrass and metal,its music, i dont go around in my car blarring people out anymore but when i was younger i did play it loud,its like everthing with age comes a little wisdom and consideration of others.if people look down on you for there music choices thats there fault,thats looking at me and judging me for the way i type or spell words.it's all good.

I don't care for most rap, but I do listen to Eminem. Most of his songs are quite funny if you really listen to the words...he's trying to be obscene and controversial on purpose. Mostly I listen to rock and country, and I find them equally offensive when it's turned up way louder than anybody really needs. Rap doesn't have anything to do with annoying volume levels...

I think part of it is the need to shake the ground. We did it with headers, they can't, not enough cubes. So they do it with rap.

I don't care for most rap music (some of it's not bad though) but I sure like the sound of classic rock through a good quality stereo with a few hundred watts of sub kickin' away... I wish we had subs when I was a teen!

Re: People into rap (rant)

I listen to just about everything and listened to rap and hip hop primarily since the fat boys were putting out new albums. (1985).<br /><br />Love it. Though I have to admit that I am getting turned off by the newest stuff around, the last few years. <br /><br />There is still a lot of good music out there. <br /><br />But Some of the newer artists seem to know about 8 or nine words and just use them over and over again until the song is up.<br /><br />Nig*a this, f*ck that, some of the newer 50 cent stuff I hear on sirius is just absolutely unlistenable. Garbage mostly. Some artists still put out stuff with a little substance, good lyrics, but some depend on selling to the lowest common demonimator by just rattlig off obscenities and death threats. Over time these 'artists' will die off because time has shown that no matter what genre you're talking about, there are classics and then there is everything else. <br /><br />As far as someone stereotyping me or anyone else just because of what music is preferred, it's bacically just discrimination and ignorance. <br /><br />I don't like country music. Actually despise it. But my wife loves it. I don't hate her or anyone else that listens to that 'crap', I just don't like the music.
