I born in 1981 and i grew up listening to rap in the 90's my teenage years. I love rap, Tupac, Dr. Dre, Easy E, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Ect. There is alot of old school rap that i still like and listen to, I agree there is alot of CRAP that has been put out in the past 8 YEARS, but there is alot of GARABAGE music that is not RAP either, so its all a preference, i like alot of different kind of musis from Metalilica to MXPX, Classic rock and ect. I have expanded my views on music alot in the past few years, i never used to listen to anything but rap but about the only music i wont listen to now are OLDIES and Country! Oh and alot of people like that SCREAMO shit wtf is that, i can handle some of it, but some is like WTF at least if i am not going to understand wtf they are saying i will listen to some bud smoking chill music like BONE at least they are mell not AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHLEWJHRPOEWHJRPOEWJkj
cuz thats all i hear when i hear alot of the PUNK music that is out these days and some hardcore METAL, its all a matter of preference so if you like METAL BLARE THAT SHIT, if you like rap BUMP THAT SHIT, if you like PUNK let it sCREAM! Who cares really! Enjoy a phat 1 and chill!!

Fuck rap. Rap is weak. Same shit over and over. You want tough music? Listen to Death Metal. Cannibal Corpse is a good place to start. Deicide is good also.

that's the problem, you have no respect for all types of music.
If you really wanna go there we can...
"DEATH METAL" the fuckin title says it all, i dont want somebody screamin in my fuckin ear, fuck that shit.
Cant even understand what they sayin if you try and follow the lyrics it's gibberish, cant even look the lyrics up.
All that AHHHH n NOOOOOh fuck that shit.
See but we got respect for all music, you didnt see one person who listens to rap say fuck death metal or country did you?
Naw you fucking didn't, you need to get some respect for music like us

Aww come on people, stop crying. I'm allowed to feel strongly about my music if I want to, it's my opinion. I wasn't trying to offend any one of you personally, I just can't stand fucking rap. And if you love rap then that's you, go for it. Love it. That's your opinion. And for whoever said I was not open minded to other types of music, you're wrong. Here's a 180: I listen to classic rock, reggae, fuck I even listen to John Denver man. But Metal is my ultimate passion on the music front. I've devoted 16yrs playing speed metal. That's more than half of my life. So yeah, I feel strongly about it.

i used to be with you, used to say cant spell crap without rap...blah blah...some guy wearing gold chains waggling his fingers around and talking in time down a microphone whilst some kid turns records backwards manually and another kid presses some keys on a keyboard...
...who else prefers REAL music? Okay, rap started out as a form of country singing...but what happened to it? WHY do people insist on listening to this non-melodic rubbish?
(I know...I'm gonna get a slating here, but WHO'S COMIN' WITH ME?!)
but the OLDER rap is where it is at my friend, all the 80's and early 90's shit is pure gold, as buddy was sayin rap is filled with metaphors and similies and shit and all together good flow

to add to that if u listwened to georgia bush by wayne he was speakin so much truth and he was flowing and using his unique style, if he was to put more of that out as hot as he is now others would follow same as pac, i don't kno if yall noticed but rap was gettin a little off track until pac and biggie started rappin the y brought it back
(though the very first lyric of "georgia bush" he says bush's eyes are blue they're green)
(and i've been hearing alotta boosie and too webbie made a song i really connected with (u a trip)

One thing I hate is the rap and hip-hop songs glorifying violence and disrespect and stuff like that. I also don't like the songs that are nothing but cusswords with some normal words thrown in. But don't worry. I'm quite aware that's not all rap/hip-hop songs, and may very well be a minority.
What I don't like about the genre, though, is the lack of melody/music. Some rap (note I said some, NOT all) is basically a sample of an older song with a more intricate, though computer-produced, beat and a poem laid down on top of it. To me, that just isn't enough.
First off, as a guitarist, I need guitar in my music, at least most of the time... and occasionally I'd like to hear a guitar solo... I mean a real guitar solo (Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Carlos Santana, David Gilmore, Eric Clapton), not a 4-measure "bridge" that we like to call solos these days. I also need more instruments and more music.
I don't like how some of it is computer-produced as well. Computers canNOT write good music. Period. The MTV/VH1/Clear Channel-era has proven this over and over again, and it is one major reason I can't STAND modern-day top-40. Music should be written by people, and only people, and it shouldn't be constrained by radio time-limits and shit like that.
I also like emotion and meaning in my lyrics. Don't get me wrong... I love songs like "Whole Lotta Love," "Anything Goes" (G'N'R), etc for their... well... their fun songs. But I'll pop in "Time," "Since I've Been Loving You," etc before I pop in any "fun" song. I like deep lyrics... that said, I'm not a fan of artists who inject politics in their music (although, oddly enough, I find myself a fan of Roger Waters, John Lennon, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, and other "political artists"... I though I generally steer clear of their heavily-political songs, with the exception of "Imagine," which is a song I love).
On that note, I have heard some musical, emotional, deep rap/hip-hop songs that have intrigued me... I even heard a rap song with an incredible guitar solo (and no, it was not Rage Against the Machine, though I am a fan) and yet I find that these songs are no where near as popular as the throw-away fad-crap MTV likes to make famous.
So while I realize that, like all genres, no two rap/hip-hop songs are alike, the genres have their good songs and their bad songs. Unfortunately, it's the bad songs that MTV, VH1, and Clear Channel like to make famous, and the good songs that stay in relative obscurity (for the most part).

It's been too long since I listened to rap...
It was one song, can't remember the name... but now that I think about it, it might not have been about rape at all... just the person (a woman, surprise surprise) who angrily blogged about it interpreted it that way.
So maybe the rape part is an erroneous claim... it's just been too long. Forgive me for that one... I'll edit it out.
I edited it out.

Nate I'm with you on this. As a guitarist myself, I too need some guitar(played by a real person) in my music. I love playing solos and know very well the years and dedication it takes to learn the techniques to pull them off. I know the satisfaction of hearing all your hard work come out of the amp as a mystical accomplishment. I study speed metal, death metal, and other types of music (I know what everyone is thinking when they hear "death metal", that crap that's all screaming and not understandable), but as an accomplished guitarist, I'm here to tell you that good metal is not easy to play. It takes years of practice and dedication to learn the techniques the untrained ear doesn't hear. I've studied the methods of Kirk Hammet(Metallica), Dave Mustaine(Megadeth), Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Dimebag(Pantera), Marty Freidman(Megadeth), Dave Murray(Iron Maiden), Adrian Smith(Iron Maiden), and many others. I have learned their styles and how to incorporate them into my own music, no small feat. Took me 16yrs, and I'm still learning. Once you delve into the realm of intervallic relationships and all other aspects of music theory you will truly begin to appreciate this magical thing we call music.
