Don't know why I've never liked Kanye West's face but that day I saw him on MTV, in one of his videos and...

... somehow I thought - Wow!

Can definitely feel the musicality there and I found it very cool.

Too bad I can't remember what song was that.

Anybody remembers 2 Live Crew and their 2 infamous songs 'Me So Horny' and 'The lovelovelovelove Shop'?

Last time heard for the first time and thought wow!

Hahahaha!!! :mrgreen:

But isn't Linkin Park and some other similar bands have rap and hip hop elements in their songs?

 

[rottenramone]

Did anyone go to The Roots?? It was absolutely fantastic!

 

[Plastic]

Rap with content = good.
Kanye West, RATM..


Rap with works like "smack that" playing on a loop = bad.
Pointless rap = bad.

All this talk about dissing rappers about their blings blings and their subject matter applies to most musical genres...

I mean, these rappers will look at the emo kids and go like "Yo, only 'em bitches wear 'em MAC make-up and eyeliners." or look at the black metal scene and go, "Wassup with the chains and collar spikes, dawg? Tryin' to look like one?"

Every music subculture has its certain image and accessories which its own following identifies it by. And quite a fair bit of people follow a certain music genre due to the fashion statement it makes. Even the hardcore scene does in a certain way with those 'X' marked across their hands. It's called branding...

Rap/ hip-hop started back in the 70's with a stronger socio-political message in the Bronx. If you are really interested in that, please Wikipedia it. And hip-hop production is fucken amazing. I love it. The amount of layers in the music is sometimes more than a boring rock tune.

For those in the know, that x is actually a sign of straightedge, usually associated to hardcore music.

I listen to metal most of the time but I enjoy DJ shadows sometimes... It isn't really rap, more of hip hop. (What's difference anyway?) Really groovy music to chill out to.

actually, rap is part of hiphop.
its one of its 4 elements.

the four being, 1) rap, 2) breakdance, 3) graffiti 4) Dj-ing.

just fyi.

I have to admit, the only rappers/rap bands I listen to(and rarely do) are Eminem, D12 and RATM.

At least, in my opinion, I find their works more meaningful than other raps that go on about sex and violence. Although I really cannot appreciate the form of music...

Because R&B/hip-hop might have lots of layers and everything, but they are like loops and the beats remain the same and the bassline is like constant and everything.

I will say the main thing about rap is their lyrics.

true, rap is mainly bout their lyrics..
in some songs, they could be actually dissing you in all directions but you may not know cos they twist their words to have dual meanings..
