Country or rap?

Meh. I like how you compare your two favorite songs to the shittiest type of rap out there. GG

..That's a bit of a stretch. I hate these types of conversations. The closed-mindedness is stifling.

This needs a lock, pronto.

"I feel like slappin a ***** today" classy...

here are the verses for you


This morning, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed
I'm sick of people putting lies in my head
I don't really wanna work, I'm tired
I hate my 9 to 5
And I'm thinking bout killin my boss today
Killin my boss today
I'm thinking bout killin my boss today
Killin my boss today

Yesterday my best friend died
Somebody came and took his life
Now I'm looking up at the sky
Have you ever seen a grown man cry?
And I'm asking why did you take him away?
Why did you take him away?
I'm asking why did you take him away?
Why did you take him away?

I need some money please
I can barely make it on these streets
Cause I got a couple mouths to feed
My baby's in dire need
So I'm thinking bout robbin a bank today
Robbin a bank today
I'm thinking bout robbin a bank today
Robbin a bank today

Baby mama's at home and fussin'
Callin up my mobile cousin
Always yappin about this and that
But she really don't be talkin bout nothin
Somebody take my pain away
Take my pain away
Somebody take my pain away
Take my pain away

Somebody just broke in my ride
Snatched up everything inside
Even got my 45
How am I supposed to survive
When I know that my stereo's taken away
Stereo's taken away
When I know that my stereo's taken away
Stereo's taken away

Gas prices are way too high
Rich people are way too fly
And I'm where I wanna be in my life
But why am I so behind
Is it cause I'm wasting my time away
Wasting my time away
Is it cause I'm wasting my time away
Wasting my time away

My grandmama's nerves are bad
And everybody in the hood is mad
Cause President Bush could give a DAMN about our ass
So I don't wanna hear shit that he has to say
Shit that he has to say
I don't wanna hear shit that he has to say
Shit that he has to say

Troops gone and we still at war
Nobody even really knows what for
Even more I'm scared to find what the world really has in store
Cause you know that tomorrow's not promised today
Tomorrow's not promised today
Cause you know that tomorrow's not promised today
Tomorrow's not promised today

He didn't say anything about Country in that post. How the hell did he stereotype?

This bull really needs a lock. I see it going into Rock versus Rap real soon, and it will be a travesty.

Cloud, it doesn't matter how old you are, kid. And the artist wants to slap somebody cause he had a bad day. Wouldn't you want to if your day was going wrong?

GH, wtf are you doing living in Canada, listening to Country music? And no, I did not stereotype it. I didn't say anything about its lyrics, or content. I just don't understand how people can enjoy that stuff unless your like 35+ years old and actually live in the country. Its proly the same thing for us city people, and Rap. Most Rap artists come from a gringy city. I like Rap cause I can relate to what they say, and it does actually have meaning to it IF you listen to the right stuff.

I can't even see how somebody can listen to it, and not want to punch a baby in the face. Oh and, good job on the stereotype on Rap. I'd have to agree with your Sister on this one. So please, leave that Country shit down south, we don't like that shit up here!

---

That's where he stereotyped it. Who says all country singers are southerns? Although some are, not all.


EDIT: Jakuza and I posted at the same time.

Well country is a really popular genre of music in my town. I know you didnt stereotype the lyrics, but you did stereotype the genre in a way.

But I have to agree with C&M here. This is going to get out of hand very shortly, a lock would be nice.

Its ok, GH.

But I seriously want to know...WHERE THE F-CK IN CANADA DO PEOPLE ENJOY COUNTRY MUSIC?

Power_Gamer_6 and his brother are going to come to every single one of their houses and punch them in the face, including you, GH. :)


Props, Norrin.

The fact is; bling and "hoes" were never what hip hop was originally about, and to many true hip hop artists still out there, never will be.

---

Very good point. Not many mainstream rappers today have decent lyrics. Oh, Tupac! Come save us!

I'd prefer rap, as some of their songs are pretty good (I don't know the name of them since I don't really listen to rap much). I just don't like the way country sounds (I'm more of an alternative listener).

wow time out this right here is sportsmanship, rap guys and country guys fighting and then appologizing and everyone is happy dam this is rare...

No, not 2pac. 2pac is The Beatles of hip hop.

Decent, made some good albums, but there were/are/will be much better MCs than him.

Well to be honest, the girls here are really into it. And when they find out that a guy knows all the songs that they do, they like it. That was my original plan back in grade 9 & 10 until I started to actually like it. Ah well, it's good.

What province are you from? I mean, I only know a handful of girls that listen to country :S

British Columbia. haha.

It's funny how God Hand is slamming hip hop for being all superficial and shit, but country is so meaningful...when his entire plan was to use an artform of music to get into girls' pants.

I'll sit back and let the vultures pick the rest up.

soulja boy isnt rap.........put some jay-z, eminem, big-L, lupe fiasco, biggie...things like that are real rap

But seriously, GH, unless they are A+ material girls, I don't know a reason for you to continue to listen to Country music.

LOL, NORRIN. AHAHAHAA.

Anything Eminem has done post-2000 is utter shit.

Get Infinite or The Slim Shady LP, or get nothing.

most of them probly do

Rock ftw [All types btw like alternative, punk, metal, screamo]

But srsly. I dont like rap or r&b at all. I call it black music because its mostly by black people. And im trying so hard not to sound racist, but I dont like the music most black people do :/

spirit just brought another thought into my mind

some people are saying rap is just people yelling stuff with some gay background music listen to a screamo song any screamo song and then tell us your views on rap

In rap, i onno what I dont like. Its probably the culture and people who have made rap famous theese days.

**** commercial rap **** rap these days....

I only like some of the older artist, jay-z,nas,eazy e, and a few others

rap is just a 4 minute long commercial now days promoting cars drinks clothes and all that nonsense

so Rap = failed

i voted country because rap these days seems to be very crappy

I like some older country stuff. Willie Nelson, if you count him, Johnny Cash...and some people consider the Grateful Dead country. I say "folk" but, whatever...

I like much more rap than country though. I'd rather shoot myself than listen to most of the country songs on the radio.

Lmfao. Obviously you only listen to commercialized shit. Nice job stereotyping.

Agreed. 50 cent isn't real rap.

Country, rap shouldn't be considered music and country can get catchy sometimes.

The thing i like about rap it raps about what most men want... Money, girls. and other stuff. And plus its fun. BTW i live in NY, Bk so you should knwo what i mean. I cant stand country music but my mom plays it with some reggea to it.

Why shouldn't it be considered music?

I'm not asking with a view to seeing if you have a logical argument, because it factually is music. I'm asking just to see if it's the same idiotic argument as most people when they say that.

If your answer is "Cos the lyrics are about bling and hoes.", save yourself the embarassment, and my time having to embarass you, and retract it. One: lyrics are lyrics, not music. Two: that's now what all hip hop is. It's as bad as saying all metal is shit because all the lyrics are about the devil.
