Seems like a lot of death and heavy metal fans on the board. Anyone listen to any rap? I listen to a little bit. I listen to all stuff from hardcore punk, to rap, to oldies.

I used to like a little bit of the very old school rap, back before it was all dominated by the gangsta crap of today.

Cyrus said:Not really, rap today isn't ganster. Sorry. You're off by a few years.
Moonbear said:Well, the gangsta crap turned me off from it so entirely that I haven't listened to any in a few years. If the style has changed again, maybe I'll give it a new chance. Like I said, I liked some of it in the old school days, when it first came out on mainstream radio.
Cyrus said:Modern rap

Almost the only piece of rap that I've ever liked is from the 90s - Coolio, Gangsta's Paradise!

Cyrus, when I was in my teens I was playing guitar, trumpet, bass guitar, harp and other instruments and singing to make money. This was in the 1960's, and I got paid to play. Rap is crap.Cyrus said:Says the guy who can't rap.
I believe it was people your age saying the same thing about that rock and roll when you were my age...

Rap is one of those things I very rarely listen to, but I can get into sometimes.

Poop-Loops said:What do you think of Sun Ra?
Personally I'll take rap over Sun Ra. And yes, I play guitar and bass myself, so I can appreciate people who do the same. But the fact is that fancy rhyming and getting people interested despite having a repetitive beat is a skill. Look at techno. It's extremely simple, but gets people dancing more than Mozart, therefore it is used for things like raves instead of Mozart.
Moonbear said:What the heck was that? I had no idea that I could have been a famous musician at the age of 5 when I played like that already! (Actually, I tended toward fugue-like sounds on my toy organ...I think any combination of keys you press on an organ can sound like a fugue.)

Must be one of those "do as I say, not as I do" types.He eschewed the topic of racism, and insisted his musicians avoid drug abuse,

Wonder what happened to those guys.
That's all the crap I don't like. For some of them, you can barely even understand the lyrics, their diction is so bad.Werg22 said:I grew up with a group of friends that was heavy on rap, so rap is by far my favorite music genre (the influence is innevitable). Nearly 2/3 of my Ipod consist of rap songs, as a matter of fact. I mostly dislike modern rappers, though. Some of my favorite songs:
