of course..Shiiiit, almost forgot about Tribe. One of the best overall albums of all time.
Love these guys. When I lived in Philly I saw them do open free jam sessions at the park. They are real.
i saw them at the troc, really good show..Love these guys. When I lived in Philly I saw them do open free jam sessions at the park. They are real.
One of my favorite tracks of all time.
Totally agree. Most, 98% of the shit today is garbage. Quick money, no talent hacks.Seriously though, I like me some good rap. I prefer older stuff for the most part. When it was about FTP and real shit. This new stuff about how great he is or how many ho's he banged, not so much.
If by capitalism you mean Easy E's drug money, then sure!Let's take Dr. Dre for example, one of the first pioneers into legitimacy. This dude grew up from nothing, adversity everywhere, all around him, and built an empire from the bottom up. He's now worth $700 million. You'd think conservatives would hold him up like the next Henry Ford! He produced tracks like Straight Outta Compton & Fuck the Police! and revolutionized the content and distribution of music. He built himself out of nothing, he used capitalism - and what the people wanted - to make a name for himself. The American Dream!
i agree, can't get into new rap, but i've never really been a rap fan per se, more so hip hop, and don't really see too much main stream hip hop today, just crap rap stuff, all the same samples, and all the same style flow.. not really my cup of pee.. the auto tune killed a lot of modern music for me..Totally agree.

I am more classic rock and heavy metal so the fact that I can recite every lyric on Bloodhound Gang's 'One Fierce Beer Coaster should surprise nobody. Especially given my sense of humor.i agree, can't get into new rap, but i've never really been a rap fan per se, more so hip hop, and don't really see too much main stream hip hop today, just crap rap stuff, all the same samples, and all the same style flow.. not really my cup of pee.. the auto tune killed a lot of modern music for me..
Nvm man over your headIf you say so. You're the expert.
Rap ain't rap any moorI had a job once and my manager was some kid. Long story....
Anyways, they're playing rap one day and he turns to me and is all, "hyuck! I bet you don't like rap, do you?"
I said sure, I like rap, and then he asked what. So I mentioned that I had some on me. I hooked my media up to the stereo and played Straight Outta Compton from cover to cover. No one made a single peep the entire time. After the last track I was asked to never play my rap music ever again.
Oh look, somebody saw "Straight Outta Compton".If by capitalism you mean Easy E's drug money, then sure!
Someone should probably tell Kanye this, when I hear him "rap" it really makes me wonder what happened to music...But to answer the question.. I think it's just a generalized belief that rap songs are about drugs, killing and well colourful language. While this true in 60% of songs many people are ignorant about the amount of skill required to write an amazing song. It's not easy to compose a song with actual meaning, sticking in metaphors, epithets and most important of all ryhmes. That's why I believe some songs are actual poetry, even if they are about pussy and such.
And it's probably that hip-hop/rap originated from violent and crime torn neighbourhoods that cause this general belief that everything to do with rap = evil and unmoral.
They hate it because their children LOVE it.
"White is right", huh?Kids love and buy profanity, violence and lies.....Thugs get rich selling it. What they do involves no talent and sends the bad message around, that`s why Blacks love it.
Old School,...Run DMC, Fat Boyz,....Tricky, ..........First Rap song,...Walk This Way,...Aerosmith.
Yes only if the rest of yall democratic pukes would learn to strive to achieve and become something...he's black and made it wow I guess color does not matter as much as yall cry.... he set a goal strived and succeeded. If the handouters (made it up) strive they could accomish but instead of living off the government.Let's take Dr. Dre for example, one of the first pioneers into legitimacy.
