Nay: I don't really the rap because I can't understand what the hell they are saying. The lyrics I read have some pretty powerful meaning but half the time on the raping songs it's mostly paused to beep out the swears.

Rock is more my type.

I can't stand rap, but give the "rap=crap" and "Retards Attempting Poetry" stuff a rest.

When I was in like, the 7th grade I LOVED rap and I thought it was soooooooooo cool and I thought I was soooooooooo cool for loving rap. Now I just can't stand it. It makes me cringe. I mean come on, why do rappers insist on grabbing themselves every 2 seconds? Lmao like Dustin Hoffman at the MTV Movie awards *giggle* But that's a different story. I just can't stand it, and I may be generalizing, but whatever. Can't they speak proper english, either? Guh.

And a lot of you are right in that you can't understand what they're saying half the time, and a lot of times I think that's for the better ^__~ I'm not sure if I want to know what they're really saying. *shrug*

Okay, I'm done =] And yeah, it's Nay for me.

I like Jay-Z but that's about all the rap I can stand. The one thing I REALLY hate is (excluding Eminem) is white rappers.

Yay, i like rap, they actually sing about things that are happening, rock doesn't. Rock people complain about how bad rap is when it's the tock people going around biting bird's heads off. No ofense to rock people, i'm just stating my point.

Ha! Shows how much you know. :arr:

Rap sings about things that are happening? Like how guys should be pimps, women must be their whores and every other block should have a gang of thugs? Or about how miserable the rappers' life in the slums was? I guess those things are happening, yeah, but I'd hardly consider it worth a song, much less an entire genre.

I also hate how you "gangstas" always state how "rock people" complain when the two biggest rap-haters on these forums are metalheads. :S For the record, I dislike most general rock.

Also, here's a great example of a rap song! :yes: Lil' Kim feat. Sisqo Lil' Pervert feat. Sicko

Ha! Shows how much you know. :arr:

Mainstream hip hop is mostly trash.. it's for wiggers and 15 year old girls.

Real hip hop has a message.

Immortal Technique for instance..

[Verse 1]
The voice of racism preaching the gospel is devilish
A fake church called the prophet Muhammad a terrorist
Forgetting God is not a religion, but a spiritual bond
And Jesus is the most quoted prophet in the Qu'ran
They bombed innocent people, tryin' to murder Saddam
When you gave him those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran
This is the information that they hold back from Peter Jennings
Cause Condoleeza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemmings
I break it down with critical language and spiritual anguish
The Judas I hang with, the guilt of betraying Christ
You murdered and stole his religion, and painting him white
Translated in psychologically tainted philosophy
Conservative political right wing, ideology
Glued together sloppily, the blasphemy of a nation
Got my back to the wall, cause I'm facin' assassination
Guantanamo Bay, federal incarceration
How could this be, the land of the free, home of the brave?
Indigenous holocaust, and the home of the slaves
Corporate America, dancin' offbeat to the rhythm
You really think this country, never sponsored terrorism?
Human rights violations, we continue the saga
El Savador and the contras in Nicaragua
And on top of that, you still wanna take me to prison
Just cause I won't trade humanity for patriotism

[Hook]
It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain
Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change
They wanna rearrange the whole point of view of the ghetto
The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle
A bandana full of glittering, generality
Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what's reality?
Read about the history of the place that we live in
And stop letting corporate news tell lies to your children

[Verse 2]
Flow like the blood of Abraham through the Jews and the Arabs
Broken apart like a woman's heart, abused in a marriage
The brink of holy war, bottled up, like a miscarriage
Embedded correspondents don't tell the source of the tension
And they refuse to even mention, European intervention
Or the massacres in Jenin, the innocent screams
U.S. manufactured missles, and M-16's
Weapon contracts and corrupted American dreams
Media censorship, blocking out the video screens
A continent of oil kingdoms, bought for a bargain
Democracy is just a word, when the people are starvin'
The average citizen, made to be, blind to the reason
A desert full of genocide, where the bodies are freezin'
And the world doesn't believe that you fightin' for freedom
Cause you ****** the Middle East, and gave birth to a demon
It's open season with the CIA, bugging my crib
Trapped in a ghetto region like a Palestinian kid
Where nobody gives a **** whether you die or you live
I'm tryin' to give the truth, and I know the price is my life
But when I'm gone they'll sing a song about Immortal Technique
Who beheaded the President, and the princes and sheiks
You don't give a **** about us, I can see through your facade
Like a fallen angel standing in the presence of God
***** niggaz scared of the truth, when it looks at you hard

[Hook]
It's like MK-ULTRA, controlling your brain
Suggestive thinking, causing your perspective to change
They wanna rearrange the whole point of view in the ghetto
The fourth branch of the government, want us to settle
A bandana full of glittering, generality
Fighting for freedom and fighting terror, but what's reality?
Martial law is coming soon to the hood, to kill you
While you hanging your flag out your project window

For anyone that said that rap sucks, I dare you to stand infront of nearly 2000 people while making up a rhyming poem that fits to a certain beat.

I don't like rap's style, but I respect the rappers for what they do.
