hip hop is the most...

What really bothers me about hip hop is the attitude in the music. It's so in-your-face and irritating. Some other people I have talked to have agree with me about this as well. As I said, I get irritated when I hear some asshole brag about how much pussy he gets and how much money he has in his lyrics.
 
rap hip-hop and allt eh types are waste of time

they dont have even a good melodie
everybody could speak


well accually when ım sad ı juz listen to those one of the 'rap' songs the guyz are so fuckn funny ı find them pathetic
 
Besides the fact that the music sucks, another problem with hip-hop is that they dont fucking know how to put on a good show. Friend of mine once went to a Britney Spears show, and apparently the bitch didnt even sing ... just jumped around on stage like "I have a butt!"
 
I wonder how many people in this thread realize that saying an entire genre is shit because of people like 50 cent and Nelly is the same thing as writing off the entire metal genre because you think Nickelback and Linkin Park suck.
 
I really have little if any knowledge of hip hop, its a genre i dont care for, so i will suspend judgment.

Yet, I was struck by the comments people made that they hip-hop because of the macho gangbanging, screwing hoes, smoking weed image of hip hop. Hell, i kinda like that image, metal in the states has become synonomous with nerds and trailer trash who want to be so "metal". Fuck, i want to see the metal image become once again that of a drug abusing rock star- like hip hop in a way is today. I am also amused how these rappers and hip hoppers have created an image for themselves- whether it be true or not, it is pure genius.

Personally I would like to see the return of 2 live crew, i just die laughing listening to their old albums- in a good way.
 
Bodycount anyone?

Like other people said, dissing a genre just because of a few artists is terribly stupid. It's like being racist to a group of different ethnicity because you don't like 2 or 3 people that belong to that ethnic group.

Fair enough, you don't like what you've heard before, but calling it shit or sucky etc just degrades yourself.

Either way, here's some good hiphop.

Run DMC
Beastie Boys
Public Enemy
Old Coolio
Deltron 3030
Outkast(one of the better commercial rap groups out there)
Jurassic 5
Black Eyed Peas

I don't really like, Nelly, Eminem, Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg.

did you just fucking say nickelback and linkin park are metal? you should fucking die right now.
 
All this new kinda 'pop rap' shit is exactly that...Sheeeet...I prefer pre '95 type rap, it talked about stuff you could relate to, real issues and real life situations as well as girls, guns, money, cars and all the other pretentious bullshit that they chat these days...

Ahhhhhh, the nice and mature level of your posts. I can't help but think how sad person you must be. I don't judge people I don't know but you judged me so just for the fun of it I'll say that you're most likely one of the small headed wannabe "true metal fan" kids who think being uncool is the coolest thing...
Oh well.. you'll hopefully grow up one day. I'm just glad I don't need to be around people like you.

OoDee

LMAO I didnt even notice this till now ummm lets see I''m 25 so I'm not one of those "one of the small headed wannabe "true metal fan" kids who think being uncool is the coolest thing" youve got it all wrong ya see I am metal .... Metal is cool which means that in order for you to be right I would have to hate metal because I wanted to be uncool ...... And I didnt judge you I just let you know your options You could stay ther running your yap making an ass out of yourself or you could go play hide and go fuck yourself :) Have a nice day!

Dude that's what half the '80s metal was about! Haha! :lol: I have nothing against those themes, to me lyrics don't have to be meaningful to be good, they can just be exciting and fun. Just listen to Motley Crue, Spread Eagle, Vain, Ratt, Warrant, Roxx Gang, etc! It's all about rock & roll, pussy, strippers, sex, money, fame, Sunset Strip, stuff like that! It's awesome!!

That said though, I do hate new hip hop & rap and partly it is because the homeboy attitude these days just does nothing for me. But I have nothing against it really. Good on 'em for trying to make the best out of their situation and being smart enuff to cash in on it haha. I just hate the sound of hip hop...

That said though, I can tolerate and respect some of the late '80s & early '90s gangsta rap because at that stage it wasn't anywhere near as glorified or commercial as it is now, they weren't posing as homies to be cool (I remember in around 93/94 kids at school who liked rap were picked on! A few years later it was the in-thing). Rappers like Ice Cube, Dr. Dre and even Snoop Doggy Dogg on his first album actually were lower class thugs who had to grow up in a violent & dangerous life and some like Snoop had actually been in and out of jail for years and their music basically dealt (very explicitly) with that lifestyle, and making it in the music industry ended up being a way out of the ghettos for them. Good on them for using it to their advantage.

Just a shame that once it became popular, people were stupid enuff to think living that shitty ghetto life was a good thing and all suddenly all these middle class white kids wanted to be drug dealing gangbangers in a ghetto with like a 1 in 20 chance they would be shot in their lifetime which is just ridiculous. At least the early ones were born into that situation against their will and they were smart enough to make the best out of a bad situation and use it to get out of the ghettos and get rich.

Snoop Dogg is definitely among the huge number of really bad hip hop stars today and I hate his music now and also hate him, but I can certainly listen to his debut as a fascinating snapshot of a violent & crazy life he was stuck in as well as a slice of music history.

Dude I totally agree!!! The reason we don't have any metal in the mainstream anymore is because bands now don't care about their image, which I think they should. As important and the music is, it's always more of a bonus when a band gives you the entire package - the music, the attitude, the image - and offers something exciting & dangerous, rather than simply a showcase of their musicianship. I wanna see the leather & tattoos, Jack Daniels & Harley Davidsons, sex & sleaze, strippers & sluts, hairspray & makeup, androgony, sexism, "I don't give a fuck" attitude, the whole thing! THE WILD LIFE!

Bands today are just musicians. Bands in the '80s were rock stars. If you ask me, I say BRING BACK THE ROCK STARS!
