Rap Is Crap With A Capital C

**Jowy** · 03-23-2003, 11:19 PM

I'll be the first to say, it's all a matter of opinion, if you don't like the genre, don't listen to it. It's as simple as not buying/listening to the music. Why complain when you have your own genre? Your own preference, and so on. Is there really a point to this post? I like every genre of music just as much as the next, and I have nothing bad to say about any of it. I can see that anyone who complains about something they don't listen, just wants something to complain about. So put simply, for those who wish to complain, go somewhere else. The whole fight isn't worth it in my opinion. It's like arguing over who is more of a bumbling fool, it only makes the other madder.

It's not a fight, it's a discussion about music. Surely that's what the discussion area of Musicworld is for?

Personally I like this type of thread - it's good to hear what people think about music.

rap has influences from almost all other genres of music.....jazz, funk, rock, classical, and even more.

the music rappers use as so called influences are usually badly done. when rappers take classical music, they beat it dead and make it sound like sh*t. they take an old song that has been cherished by many people for years, and smear crap all over it that would make the composers cry. obviously, if someone uses an old song and rehashes it with new lyrics, they do not have much talent. Writing lyrics is easy enough, i do it all the time, but writing music takes alot of time and dedication, the type that most washed up losers dont have.

I am only stating my opinion. and NO i dont like sissy pop, and i do listen to SOME rap, but i think that most of it is not any hot sh*t. Pop sucks, i listen to bands like System of a Down, and Linkin Park, good bands.

Its one thing to be influnced, its another to copy

Romeo, keep it up. you got taste and attitude. eminem's influence

EDIT:- this is a discussion the previous lyrics wasnt a cuss or diss to anyone in particular.. it was me expressing some rap lyrics.

i figured you may like that Shady

i get called a wigger by a fair few moronic people!

.. im really not.. im white and i like rap.. why im a wigger fuck knows...

lol

and TRSHADY YOU ROCK!

for an example of eminem lyrics DL the Last battle from 8 mile.. fully written by Eminem... listne to it aswell as watching the movie.. the timing's everything..

infact and this is racist to an exntent... he has had it tougher than most cos he has had to make it as a white rapper in a predominant black industry...
why is it when people talk about Rap they mainly drift to eminem...

dome of my personal faveourite lyrics...

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;

Somedays I just wanna up and call the quits
I feel like Im surrounded by a wall of bricks
Everytime I go to get up I just fall in pits
My life's like one great big ball of shit!
If I could, just put it all onto what I spit
Instead of always tryina swallow it
Instead of starin at this wall and shit
While I sit writin this plot, sick of all this shit
Kid, Call it Shit!
All I know is Im about to hit the wall
If I ever have to see another one of Mom's alcaholic fits
This is it last straw
Thats all, Thats it
I aint dealin with another fuckin politic
Im like a skillet bubblin, until it filters up
Im about to kill it, I can fill it buildin up
Blow this building up, Im concealed enough
My cup, When its over I'da filled it up
Then it explodes, and spills my guts
You think all I do is stand here and feel my nuts
Well.. Imma show you what, You gon' feel my rush
If you dont feel it, then it must be too real to touch
Build the dutch, Im about to tear shit up
Goosebumps, Yea Imma make your hair sit up, Yea sit up
Imma tell you who I be, Imma make you hate me, Cuz you aint me
You ate, it aint too late for you to finally see
What you close-minded Fucks, What you Blind to see
Whoever finds me is gonna get a finds to see
Out this world, they no it aint a mind to me
You need piece of mind? Heres a piece of mine
All I need's a line, Sometimes I dont always find the words to rhyme
To express how Im really feeling at that time, Yes
Sometimes, Sometimes, Sometimes
Its just sometimes is always me
How dark can he always be
The clock strikes midnight
1, 2, then half passed 3
This half-ass rhyme, with this half-ass piece of paper
Im desperate in my task
If I could just get the rest of this shit off my chest, Again
Stuck in this slump, Cant think of nothing
Fuck, Im stumped, Oh Wait Here comes something, No!
Its not good enough, scribble it out
New pad, tinkle it up, and throw the shit out
Im fizzling out, thought I figured it out
Balls in my court but Im scared to dribble it out
Im afraid, but why am I afraid? Why am I a slave
To this Tray? Sign not to spit to the grave
Real enough to route you up, Want me to flip it? I can rip it
any style you want. Imma switch to the bitch Jimmy Smith aint a quitter
Imma sitter till I get enough finally hit a boiling point
Put some oil in your joints, Flip the coin, Bitch come get destroyed
And EmCee's worst dream, I make them tensed, they hate me
See me and Shape like a Chainling Finx
By the looks of em you would swear that Jaws was coming
By the screams of them you would swear Im saw and so on
By the way they runnin, you could swear they all was coming
Its now or never, And tonight is all or nothing
Momma, Jimmy keeps leaving on us, He said he'd be back
He pinky promised, I dont think he's honest
I'll be back baby, I just gotta beat this clock
Fuck this clock! Imma make them Eat this watch
Dont believe me Watch! Imma win this race
And Imma come back and rub my shit on your face, Bitch!
I found my nitch, You gonna fear my voice
Till your SICK of it you aint gonna have a choice
If I gotta scream till I have half a lung
If I have have a chance, Imma grab it, Rabbit Run!

I know alot of people here like Eminem and so did I. but don't his lyrics get boring after you hear the songs a few too many times?
