I like some rap unless 90% of its lyrics is profanity.devil I used to like every rap song that is released. But that was before. Now my taste in music has changed. Now I like listening to slow songs, whereas before I don't love them that much. They're more touching and appealing to the senses, while most rap music is so fast and monotonous that you barely catch up. I also noticed that rap songs easily lose their popularity, maybe because they're not catchy enough and they don't arouse the feelings that much.
How about you? How do you like rap?

Yes i do appreciate rap music and i used to hang out with them when i feel alone. [Nirishasol]
Thanks for the response. happy The beat of rap music can surely make people high. [mjcookie]
For me personally, I don't like and will never like rap music. For me, these kinds of music are just pure noise without melody and harmony that are present in good music. That is my preference and I came to make that decision after hearing some rap music many years ago. I prefer listening to preaching God's Word than listening to rap music. Good day. [learn2earn]
That's great! God's Word is the best thing that anyone can hear. A lot rap music contains foul language, and it isn't a good example for kids. I, too, came to that realization. I feel like hip-hop doesn't even appeal to me anymore. [mjcookie]
yes to some extent rap music is good and that can be good for ears. but i don't listen to it for long it bores me later on. some rap artists are really good though for which i prefer to listen. [starscream]
I agree, it can be really boring because of the monotony. Thanks! [mjcookie]
Absolutely, I do appreciate this form of music, I like the style of the rappers as well. Added to that I was amazed how spontaneous the rappers are, I mean their minds really works great, imagine composing and rendering songs impromptu, don't you think it's awesome, very witty of them! [anne09]
I know, it's an amazing talent and I cannot deny that. Here in the Philippines we have a lot of children who are really good in rap, and I admire them for their talent. It's just that the lack of melody is what makes it a nuisance for most. [mjcookie]
I like Rap music when I was in High school and now i prefer to pop and RnB music,my taste in music has changed too.If I'm listening Rap music i have spirit from this song.and good for hang out. [ridwan08]
I understand the "conversion". When I was in high school I loved hip-hop and fast songs really much. Now it's a different case. It's important that we choose what music we listen to, because we may not be aware of it: music influences us either in a good or bad way. Thank you. happy [mjcookie]
I honestly don't like rap music. Some music with melody insert some rap to it and that seems okay but rap never really was my type. wink [Theresaaiza]
I agree. Those can still be tolerable, but the pure rap like the ones that Jay-Z and Ludacris make are kinda boring in a way. [mjcookie]
I like rap music from 80's and early 90's but after that years, rap it sucks,, [BlueGhost]
Yeah! I agree! I was born in the 90's so I already knew Girl on TV and other good rap music. Nowadays, it's as if all of them sound just the same. feelingsick [mjcookie]
I can't believe rap music has stayed around for this long. You can never really understand the lyrics. There is so much profanity and its just a bunch of guys running around the stage with their pant down their behinds saying words that you can't understand. I hate it and just wish it would all go away. [lelin1123]
Hahaha! Your comment made me laugh!rofl It's true. Some rap songs convey good messages and have not much profanity, but it's just the way these songs are sung that annoy most people. If you let young kids in the house listen to Eminem, that'd be trouble.shocked [mjcookie]
I don't like rap at all. I'm just not interested in it. I don't even think it's real music. It's more like poetry set to a beat. And it's usually very questionable poetry at that. Add to that the fact that it's usually very demeaning towards women and often laced with profanities and I really don't see much value in that type of music [opalina143]
You got the point. It's as if it doesn't have melody at all, just the beat. Not the type you wanna hear when you're feeling sentimental.suspicious [mjcookie]
i appreciate this kind of music :) just take out those swearing words out of the lyrics though... hehe.. [chocolatelle]
It's okay. happy We all have different tastes in music. It's a matter of which type appeals the most to you and which you can relate to. [mjcookie]
Hi mjcookie. I am not much into rap as you mention MOST of the songs talk about profanity, violence and a lot of bs. The only rap song that I like is lose yourself by Eminem "Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment Would you capture it or just let it slip?" "You better lose yourself in the music, the moment You own it, you better never let it go You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo" I love this song. It inspires me to try hard and reach all my goals. As for the rest of the songs they are rubbish. [Adalie]
"Lose Yourself" is just one of the FEW songs of Eminem that conveys good message. "Stan" and "Toy Soldier" were quite okay. The rest of his rap songs are catchy but WAY too offensive even if they were meant as jokes only, like "Just Lose It". angry [mjcookie]
Hi. mycookie. I like rap songs that talk about life and its struggles. I don't like rap that curses and that is all that you hear. I don't mind some curse words, but not the entire song filled with curse words. I don't like rap that raps about negativity of drugs, and violence. And if a rap song calls females, the female dog name, I don't like that either. I do listen to rap songs, only if it sounds good and it is positive. I appreciate rap music, only when it is made in a positive and concise way.happy [cream97]
Which ones do you like particularly?happy I like Twista's "Sunshine" and T.I.'s "Dead and Gone", featuring Justin Timberlake. If they're gonna do rap, I hope they're more like these songs. [mjcookie]
in last 2 decades, rap music has been reaching new heights, i don't like it too much but, some of the artists like eminem, snoop dogg, nate dog, and various other artists of same standard are suggested to listen [quixotecybercafe]
Drop it like it's hot! rofl [mjcookie]
jay-z is considered as no.1 music artist by a survey conducted by mtv (music television)2009, jay-z is also considered as richest musical artist of recent era, he is also a leading rapper, music producer, businessmen and he also married to leading female music artist, song producer beyonce knowls [quixotecybercafe]
I like their chemistry. They have long been together yet they still have no children. happy Was it true that he recently said that he was God? glare [mjcookie]
No, I don't. Appreciating any form of art doesn't necessarily require intellect. The amount depends upon the artwork itself. In this case, it would depend upon the song itself. I will be the first to admit that rap songs can contain serious allegory, metaphor, double entendres, and symbolism. However, having listened to quite a bit of it. I can say that the vast majority of ti is common, superficial, egocentric, and often angry posturing. Much of it is racist and misogynistic. Such doesn't require advanced mental capacities to comprehend, understand, or appreciate. In fact, I believe it requires superior intellect for humans to move beyond such thought processes. [sivaram4office]
Not to mention the lustful and materialistic lyrics that these songs give. I notice that most of them have the words "tequila", "patron", "shawty", "sex", and a handful of other profanities. [mjcookie]
Although I am a big music lover and have always been open to most genres of music, I never really got into rap music. I agree that a lot of it has a lot of profanity and deal with issues that are pretty frightening but I will admit there are a couple of Eminem songs that I do like but not many. I am more of a rock and roll and oldies, girlhappy [Oceanblueeyes]
I like some 80's songs, too! lol Compared to songs before, music nowadays are less sentimental and sensual. Just an opinion. Hip-hop is on the verge of its popularity. [mjcookie]
I like rap music too but I only have the likings on the mainstream ones. I don't go for pure rap energy stuffs. They are quite heavy on my part. Rap is considered classic and they already left a legacy on its own in the music industry. THe reason I like rap because they are quite catchy and some of them can be made into house music if you mix it with the DJs...rap music can be molded into a different kind of genre and can be derived from either classic, slow rock, alternative, emo type. It's quite fun listening to them. Aside from that the freedom of speech when it comes to rap is quite felt and they are considered very expressive for me. Rappers are considered geniuses...only few could actually do it...it's a talent. Some can be gifted to have this talent. I myself can't rap that well even if I follow their lyrics. In live shows, rap artists need the extra strength to go on because it uses raw energy and a lot of feelings are expressed through this music. Nice topic you started here mjcookie....happy mylotting. [hapsicordable1]
That's a good thought.happy It's really some talent!! I cannot deny that it takes a lot of work and talent to be able to rap well. You'd have to know the beat or else you'd be "out of tune". Thanks for responding. happy [mjcookie]
I hate rap. I always have, and I always will. How in the world can a person listen to a genre of music that is so demeaning to women? It doesn't fly with me, and I look forward to the day when rap is officially thrown onto the trash heap of musical history. [coolcoder]
rofl I agree with you, but not all of them are like that. There are still some out there that have good messages and are meant to inspire--an example is Black Eyed Peas' "Where Is The Love". [mjcookie]
I absolutely love rap songs! But I hate the songs that are about driving fast cars, girls etc. I love listening to songs with a message in it, songs that makes you stop and think a while. Most hiphop songs now a days are mainly club songs, all about cars, girls, weed and stuff like that, I hate that. [Dezzaan]
Driving fast cars, hahaha!!! Reminds me of the words "lamborghini", "bling bling", "grills", and how the man wants to give his shawty everything he has to make her happy. Very materialistic and shallow. Same with you, I am fed up with those type of songs.feelingsick [mjcookie]
I used to listen to rap like 5 or 6 years ago. I liked 50 Cent back then. Now my choice of music has changed, I like rock music. Still, I like some songs from Eminem, because he really puts a lot of meaning into his songs, he is a very talented person. Most of gangsta rap I've heard is about smoking green and messing with the girls and fighting other gangs. I don't like such songs, because they're all are so similar to each other. [Biomechanoid]
I'd have to admit that Eminem is talented, but I don't like his parodies even when they're catchy. They're so mean, even if they were meant to entertain. sad [mjcookie]
Hey mj! You won't believe me because I am one of the oldest rap fans there are! I happen to love rap and have for a long time! I love 50 Cent, Lil' Wayne, Eminem, JayZ, Drake, TI, and alot more rappers! My boyfriend and I are into R & B, Soul, Rhythm & Blues! I also love the old time Rock too! I am a serious music lover from way back so I have a variety of music that I listen to! I love Rhianna, Black Eyed Peas! You come near my house and it's always got some great music playing really loud! [Opal26]
Can't believe it. rofl And you happen to know the latest rappers nowadays, Lil Wayne for one!! And I bet you know the term "auto-tune" as well, for which T-Pain is known for (the robot-like voice). lol You know what, I sometimes find Lil Wayne's voice annoying, but I guess that's what makes him unique. His participation in the new version of "We Are The World" either annoyed or amused people. And hey, I like BEP, too, and that one of them is half-Filipino makes me so proud of him (APL). Thanks for that interesting response, Opal26.happy [mjcookie]
Yeah, I do appreciate rap music but not all of it. I just can't seem to understand some rap music like even though I would try to listen clearly, it's just that I can't understand what they were talking about. I do salute those people who can't really catch up those words made by the rappers. I just think I am one of those slow learners...hehehe...devilangry Anyway, I do appreciate most of those rap especially if I try to research about the lyrics and try to get hook up with it. Most raps have great meanings...and more personal as well. [joannaleed]
It depends on which rapper. Jay-Z, LL Cool J, and Twista apparently are not one of those to rap about money, cars, blings, and sex. But you'd have to listen carefully to Twista or you really won't understand what he's trying to say.rofl [mjcookie]
I never like rap. The lyrics are incomprehensible and sometimes the singers use a lot of stinky words in their lyrics. I don't think this type of music will go far compared to the evergreen country songs. [zandi458]
Nowadays rap/hip-hop is really popular, and as much as a lot of people don't appreciate it, there are also many who support it. It's gonna be here for many years, since it's been out already decades ago. [mjcookie]
I enjoy rap music. I find listening to all the different lyrics rather interesting. I have to first enjoy the melody and the chorus before i can really get into the lyrics. [youngblood9292]
Yeah, you'd have to catch the rhythm first before you get to memorize the lyrics. [mjcookie]
I like rap from its earliest form. Rappers rap about things that mean something, where the lyrics has a point. Nowadays, rap lyrics are all about profanity, sex, women, sex, violence, sex... [nocturn98]
...and cars, wines, parties. I hope they lessen those kinds of songs because children are listening.suspicious [mjcookie]
Honestly I'm a rocker and when rap started crossing into the genre which a lot of artists are doing nowadays, I've began to question it more deeply and it's all about the game of the music business. Honestly, rap, rock, riff raff, I don't even care. When you sell out to make more money, in the end, it's not about the music, it's about the money and has always been. [thuhuong]
The fact that a lot of rappers today are very rich, such as Jay-Z, justifies your statement. happy [mjcookie]
I've been a musician, composer, & lyricist for more than 40 years and I can assure you, that Rap, is definitely not "music". It may be listed as that, but it's not music per sa. No...what it IS, is POETRY set to a consistent back-beat, and that's all. Writing a piece of music, is much more involved. Rap on the other hand, involves very little writing and/or creativity, and THAT'S why it seems monotonous.......because IT IS. It's meant to be, and the "feelings" that it emotes in one, can hardly be what I'd call; "appealing to the senses". Now don't get me wrong. I love all kinds of music, and I suppose Rap has it's place (somewhere?). But don't confuse it with that, that is..."musical". History will bare me out, as my witness. Enjoy your music, and LISTEN to the words. LISTEN to the flow of the way notes are arranged. LISTEN to what the writer has painstakingly spent many hours, days, and/or years to create, and you will soon build a much higher appreciation for the craft, and why it differs from Rap as a likable medium. cdrxo [commanderxo]
Then I'd say: "You're in for a treat!" Oh, and don't forget the great Wilson Pickett (...that wicked, wicked Pickett). He was a leader in the industry, and helped put many other soul artists on the map. Enjoy your time with this period. I guarantee you'll love some of the greatest songs of all time ever written. cdrxo [commanderxo]
I am a part of a writer's group and one of the writers often writes rap that sometimes I find (lyric-wise), very clever. This has made me listen to other rap music from time to time. As a musician myself, I wouldn't call it music, but poetry. And with all things, some can be good and some bad, but I can only listen to such constant rythm in shorts burst, perhaps one or two "songs", and then this rythm just gets monotous or even boring. But we all have different tastes, because if we didn't everything would be the same.. happy_Derek [derek_a]
I agree. Maybe rap is not just really for "long-term" listening.yawn [mjcookie]
I used to adore rap and hip hop in my middle school and high school years. That was back when rappers sang about lifestyles without resorting to profanity and woman bashing. I met my husband when I was 16, and he introduced me to emo music which I fell in love with, and it began to get embarrassing to play rap as time went on. All the sudden it was only drugs...women...money...sex...repeat. I can appreciate the fact that many of these rap artists have literally come from near death to be stars today. I can also appreciate that they sing of their experiences. This music really hits home with those who have had the same unfortunate lifestyle in the past, as I've seen in my experience. For me, I liked it because of the beats and because I was actually a really good rapper. lol Rap was a challenge to me, to learn all the words and not trip over your words when you sang them. I think rap takes talent. Many people don't. I think it takes strength as well, to be able to tell your experiences to the world. I don't think it's necessarily rap's fault for being vulgar nowadays...society itself has become vulgar. In a time where "teen" movies are now about sex and drinking, do you really expect rap to be "cuss-less"? Society as a whole has gotten more vulgar, more exposing. Rap music certainly doesn't have to be AS vulgar as it is...nevertheless, that's where it stands. I'll continue to sway to the beats but I won't be one to play it in my car or home. [LovingLife139]
I get your point. But does it really have to go with the flow? sad Anyway, they're all out there. It's gonna be hard to ban all vulgar songs. One comes out after the other. It can be tempting to listen to rap especially if the beat is very catchy. When it's like that, I just don't take in the message.lol [mjcookie]
Hi Mjcookie, Yes i love rap music. Since i was in my teen years i already have this appreciation with rap music. this was enhanced when i worked in the US and most of my co-workers love listening to rap music and we both enjoy listening and even rapping at the same time. [msfrancisco9369]
happynicedaywinkYes. Hurray and long live rap music! Have a great day! [msfrancisco9369]
I cannot stand it. It should not be considered a genre of music. IMO all it is words (usually profanity, nasty or insulting) to spoken with a beat. [whiteheather39]
Yes, just like what the other people said. It's more of a poem put into beat than music. Not all rap songs are profane though, but a LOT of them. [mjcookie]
I do. I appreciate them. Specially here in our country, we have a nationalistic rapper, he was Francis M. But he already passed away due to cancer. But I will never forget the lyrics of his songs. They are rap but with meaning. This opened the minds of the Filipino youth on how to be patriotic, on how to love your country even in your own little way. I also like Glock 9, because of his political views that he writes on his songs. Hope that the government actually listens to the songs so that they could understand the sentiments of the people. They don't use profanity or foul words on there songs. But it will leave a mark on you specially if you are going to listen to them by heart. [freymind]
It really shocked me when Willie Revillame announced in his show that he was already dead. He was a great rapper, and I loved his nationalistic songs. Those kinds of rap songs are worth listening to. [mjcookie]
No..I don't like rap music, my friend. I never appreciate it because I hear it very unpleasant. I love country songs and love songs and I don't like rap the way it is dealing with... [aerous]
Isn't that sentimental is good. I love those kind of music. Country songs and love songs... [aerous]
I enjoy listening to the old stuff, like 90's rap, but I feel that nowadays, it is just a load of non-sensical drivel about prostitutes, guns and violence that is difficult to understand above the artist's slur and over-whelming beatthumbdownthumbdown Somebody once told me a very good quote that I think applies to all modern-day (c)rap music... "Music is like candy, you just throw the (w)rappers away"lol [MrKennedy]
LOL! Hahaha, that's a funny line there. Thanks for that. [mjcookie]
I don't appreciate rap music. I used to like it to a certain extent, but I am enjoying more types of music now and the fact that I hear rap music blaring way to loud from just about every car that passes our house and it's just kind of taking the enjoyability out of the music style. [cortney09]
That's very true. I know people that listen to other types of music do it as well, but I hear it more from people listening to rap music than most other types. [cortney09]
Arranging samples is music composition. The only difference between dictating to an orchestra of ready-made-musicians what to play and how, and actually selecting, changing, and manipulating a wide array of sounds down to every possible minutia of it's subsonic analysis and musical element through digital structuring and orchestration - with the same musical theory as your basis for understanding, and one step further with the mathematical and physics training that platinum level engineering requires - is just the writing out of sheet music on paper (which can still be done in hip-hop at the artist's whim), rather than simply noting to yourself visually and mentally what the method to your masterpiece is. All musical instrumentals are predisposed to the originator's sense of melody, and no matter how well you play the instrument, you are merely rehashing the basic notes and ideals of the instrument itself that another has created and essentially building a hand-made interpolation of what in all actuality is the "original" sample. This is only different in perception to what one does with loops, samples, and digital midi composition. Excellent DJ'ing takes far more skill, talent, and manual dexterity than the average person could ever hope to have without decades of practice, training, understanding, and discipline. To watch a world championship scratch competition with the most elite of all DJ's and walk away saying "anybody can do that... all you do is play records and mess it up" is like watch an incredible guitarist, such as Steve Vai and saying "that's easy... all you do is mash your fingers and pluck strings." There is no way on earth that a person's favorite musicians in any genre would ever be able to do what DJ QBert does (who was at one time forced to retire and concede his domination of the WDJC league, because he was simply unstoppable and scientifically more skilled and perfect than all competitors who were eons behind him in terms of technique and musicianship). Beatbox is the raw, unfiltered capacity of the human body to emit music. It's actually much more a pure, and 1st hand form of musical expression than manipulating preset sounds on someone else's invention - ie: traditional musical instruments which are 2nd hand dilution of the musical spirit that is bound within the soul of an artist's body. Excellent beat boxing requires not only an inborn talent for melody and rhythm, but also years of practice and studying to learn the different techniques involved in manipulating one's vocal chords, tongue, and lips in methods that have been scientifically and technically documented in written instructions since the 80's. It's roots can be found in meditation, where one must literally espouse two separate vocal tones and pitches from one set of vocal chords to achieve true harmony and zen when clearing one's mind and dutifully serving a higher end. Unlike formal training and musical theory, beat box is built on nothing but it's own devices of ingenuity. You are the instrument, the theory, the student, and the active 1st hand listener all at once. There is no true alpha, for you emit and dictate the sound free of all predisposition and regiments. Although it is a preexisting idea and is influenced by sensory experience, beatbox is raw ability without constraints devoid of 2nd hand manipulations of previous innovations or the reinterpretation of said expression through said devices. It's a much less limited and innovative than playing an instrument that you did not create yourself, or merely derived from another, that basically rehashes the 128 powers in an ultimately finite context. Music theory in general is all derivative of that which precedes it. Merely playing a piano, or arranging notes, is taking an existing concept and it's constrained fundamentals that have already been set in place by a previous innovator and doing nothing more than remaking it in your own way. That is much the same spirit that drives the art and craft of sampling, scratch, or digital arrangement and composition, but far less humble and self styled. On top of that, alot of hip-hop acts and producers do play or use live instrumentation. There is an innumerable amount of producers in this day and age, from the 100 thousand or so underground beatsmiths, to some of the biggest names in the industry compose their own music by hand, all from scratch, at least on a keyboard or with analog hardware. Acts such as Wyclef Jean and The Roots, to multitalented individuals who have self taught themselves to play a myriad of instruments (Andre 3000, RZA, Dr. Dre, Lil Wayne etc), or have worked with world class orchestras to facilitate their production or composing (Tonedeff's Archetype album, RZA's soundtrack work etc). From the aforementioned beatboxers, such as the king of the mouth-piece named Rahzel, to the flute master Greg Patillo, there is no limitation to hip-hop. The thing about hip-hop is it can employ everything from any form of music. An MC, rapper, or lyricist can rap over a banjo solo, a car alarm, a dog barking, or leaves rustling, as long as they adapt to it in rhythmic syntax vocally and in stanza. It could go so far as to be a complete symphony as the backdrop if desired, vocalized upon from beginning to end with a verse that lasts several hours, and it would be hip-hop. Any and all vocal techniques from any vocalization and genre can be incorporated into your delivery... it's by no means limited in any way, yet still has it's own unique attributes and innovative styles. [LoSouLyricist]
Thank you, mjcookie, that's very kind of you - thank you for your open mind and appreciation - the fact you're not a big fan of most hip-hop makes it mean alot when you say you don't mind mine. I sometimes write fantasy or what I would call fiction, but alot of the time, yes it's my heart and soul in the words. I guess every rapper can only be genuine to themselves, or false... some artist's only know lives of profanity and crime etc, and speak what they know, but there are many who just pretend and act because it sells. Being motivated by money only always results in the worst music. [LoSouLyricist]
Hi mjcookie!^^ I like rap and hiphop music. But not because of the lyrics. Well, sometimes I like the lyrics too. But the thing I like about it is it's rhythm and beat. I always feel like dancing and bouncing when I hear 50cent, Jay-Z or some rapper.^^ My head always starts to go left and right, or bounce and bounce to the beat of the song. lol But I agree that a lot of rap and hiphop songs contain profanity and sometimes are offending some people. I don't like those kinds of songs. I think it's not good especially to minors. Music greatly influences people so we have to be careful on what we listen to or we have to be smart enough to choose which things to influence us.^^ [secretbear]
I listen to rap too because of the beat. happy I just don't mind the lyrics anymore, as most of them I cannot understand. blink [mjcookie]
For me it has been a learning curve. About 3 years ago I would have said I hated it but then I listened to music on the internet as I worked on other things and I found that sometimes there was some excellent rap and also hip hop. I might not be as young as some music fans but I know when someone has put time and effort into getting the wording perfect and the timing spot on. Now when people say they don't like rap, I will say that they probably haven't heard anything good yet and that when they do it will be a revelation. Rap is like poetry it can be just as clever and emotional or it can be badly timed and performed. [pandaeyes]
There are a lot of people out there who think aggression and confrontation make a good rap song and that just isn't so. It leaves the good rap artists with a huge mountain to climb because it is made so much harder by those who want kudos and easy money for not much talent. [pandaeyes]
I appreciate virtually any kind of music as long as it's original and has some kind of uniqueness. A lot of the stuff on the radio though sounds like the same artists ripping off the sound of the artists that were popular before them. Rap nowadays is just some marketable images saying a couple of things through out a song. Just look at Soulja Boy and other mainstream rappers now a days. Compare them to such greats as 2pac, Notorious B.I.G., or Bone Thugs N Harmony and something and you will see why rap completely sucks compared to back in the 90's and earlier on. [jambi462]
I see your point. I don't even understand what the words "crank that soulja boy" mean. I just find the song totally catchy. It's kinda awful when people sing your songs yet they don't even know what it means. rofl [mjcookie]
No, my friend. I don't appreciate rap music. There was a time I used to listen to them a lot when I was a teen. But now, my taste for music has changed. I'm well aware that most of its lyrics are profanity. I only love to hear those songs which are melodious and not harmful (instigating) for people. Rap musics lose their popularity be because they are like drugs. People take drugs as a whim, but when they realize that these are harmful, they discard them. To me. the role of music whould be constructive, not destructive like the raps. Moreover, there are a number of cases in which people have been inspired to commit crimes after listening to rap music. So, it's wise to avoid them. Have a nice music.happy [faridmadeabillion]
Hey dear friends! Thank you all for your suggestion and the links. I hope I'll be pleased those songs. Thanks a lot again. Have a wonderful day!lol [faridmadeabillion]
not at all. Even if the lyrics were better, I can't stand the sound of it. I want music with a melody. I think that rappers sound way too angry, and it's just not "music" to me. I have perfect pitch, and play a number of instruments by ear. I can listen to a full orchestra, and tell you what every instrument is doing. For ME rap music is "dumbed down" for those who don't hear music the way that I do. [danishcanadian]
I respect our differences but give these a chance. This is Hip-Hop's diversity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivml9whdKx4 - RZA, Bjork http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Phzw1VcM0l8 - Lauryn Hill http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLNPy97lZyU - DJ Qbert http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXmeayaHh4U - Greg Patillo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xi_amm31Wg - Tonedeff, Deacon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA-lfy5uOm0 - Canibus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTNlcDP4-8o - Last Emperor, Poetic, Esthero http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjEhHTeAdpI - RZA, Rev William Burke Orchestra If a rapper raps to a complete symphony that you loved, it becomes hip-hop. I don't have the ear for classical music that you do, but I have the ear for this genre. I would love to do an entire album of poetry and lyrics to a beautiful, sweeping orchestra, but it would be difficult to sell lol [LoSouLyricist]
