Is it that bad? (This one in particular.)
Mind the lyrics in the description.
I wouldn't even call this rap, sounds like some commercial shit to me. -1/10
This is rap
I happen to like T.I.
Though this song sounds a lot like Young Jeezy - I Luv It.
Lyrics are nice but I'm more of a rock person.
with all do respect, that's such a bad stereo-type. Mathematics by Mos Def, how is THAT about gang violence, murdering, or "pimping". Oakland Blackouts by Hieroglyphics, has nothing to do anything with that. Breakdown by Handsome Boy Modeling School, nothing to do with that.
now yeah a lot of hip-hop has bad lyrics but look at other genres' too. for example, i assume you love heavy metal, i got nothing against metal, heck i used to listen to it but look at the messages in that. People generalize metal as pure death and satan. Yet it's not, Here I go again on my own by White Snake (sure its a balad yet it's still metal by standards), that has NOTHING to do with satan. just because a couple of kids who play WoW kill others over it, doesn't make all WoW kids murderers. Same thing with hip-hop, just because some guys sing about being a crip or a norteno, doesn't mean everyone does.
ME personally I love this song.
I didn't like that video posted by the OP.
I don't listen to rap in general but I like some of the old classics, such as this one:
Gangsta Paradise :o
Um, i hate this music argument shit, but anyways.
To all u saying that that wasnt rap, ur wrong as hell. That WAS rap, just not what YOU think of rap as. Which proves that u falsely stereotype that genre.
So, on that note, saying all rap is about murder, money, and all that shit is wrong. Sure ALOT of it is indeed about that, but all? How about NO. How do u guys describe Christian rap? Something is considered rap because of it's style, not because of the lyrics, so it doesnt matter what is being said. Yup there is some horribly bad rap, but theres also some lyrically good and even religious rap.
Thats like saying all rock is about screaming to the top of ur lungs banging on a guitar about DEATH, EMO, CUT CUT, SCREAM, BLACKNESS, GOTH, DIEEE. When in reality SOME of it is indeed like that, but there is also a huge amount of it that ISNT anything like that.
Now for the record im not a fan of rap at all. But im not about to stereotype it and say i hate all rap for that 1 reason. I hate any METAL rock, but i love other types of rock, so im not gonna stereotype that either.
So guys, think before u say stupid shit. Say you dont like the rap that involves the bad content (if thats the reason u dont like it), dont just stereotype the entire genre.
I'm more into this kind of hip-hop :D
for tah lulz
I'm just not going to say anything and lol.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOLOLOLOLOL OLOOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO
I'm done.
Some real rap.
This is how rap should be.
Most of you faggots listen to commercial mainstream shit, which usually is repeating some catchy verses over and over again while saying "bitches and hoes". Listen to some underground stuff/mixtapes better lyrics.
edit: OMFG how was this trolling.
I remember one of my teachers was talking about how she thought all the same bad stuff about rap.
But then went to one of our schools' talent shows, and her perspective changed. Because she saw my friend perform, who is a professional-level christian rapper. It changed everythnig she thought about rap.
I still dont like it very much though, just because i dont like style i guess. Im a big fan of rock-rap linkin park type stuff, but pure 50 Cent type rap bores me.
I actually like T.I.
In general i dislike rap, kinda dos not catch my attention.
Trance person here :).
ya i dont like rap.. but im not ganna shit on it cuz i dont listen to it at all.. so ya.. everyone listens to different shit.. me i like rock, classic rock..bit of metal.. others prefer ****in screamo shit.. or rap.. or country.. u listen to that stuff good for ****in u..
Dumb it down
Well..Mainstream rap is shit. No matter how you look it. Souljia Boy is shit. When I heard this on the radio, it was.."YAA ***** YAAA, YAA ***** YAAA" Then on some other song.."DO THE SUPERMAN" What the shit is this? I was hearing another one where the back ground wass.."YAAA YAAA YAAA YAAA YAAA YAAA" every second..
50 Cent isn't any different..Rap in the community is talking about how they got money, how they got hoes, how they pimpin, how they hustlin.. If your hustling, why are you on a record deal? Get the **** out. Your degrading women too? Who would want you?.
T.I.- Ready for Whatever and Whatever you like are two good songs. I like them, and I am a Rock fan.
My words are spoken. Faggots.
Early Eminem and Wu Tang Clan are pretty much the only rap acts I have any appreciation for.
