Reply #41: I don't hate Rap, I just think that todays Rap sucks

[SideshowScott]

I would agree with you if you were talking about early PE, Slick Rick, N.W.A, Run DMC, Beastie Boys, Wutang but geeze louise todays rap is Gawd Horrible..Its like the late 50's when a bunch of talentless hacks were getting on the rock and roll bandwagon when they were raging WITH the Machine. Todays rap is nothing more than how cock rock was in the 80's. ( Warrent= Ludacris? You betcha! ) Its not music its Karaoke to a oversampled Beat now. And Rap is not NOWHERE near early rock as far as the opposition.( Perhaps in the 80's ).Rap Radio Stations Dominate most markets, Most of the music on MTV and MTV2 is Rap, All record stores carry and sell Rap CDs, I would not exactly call that oppressed. Rant over. Hey Rap is here to stay and I can accept that I just wont have my car sounding like a broken air conditioner and pissing off my neighbors with thuding Bass. I will say one thing for Rap it made me listen to Jazz alot more when people could play music with real instruments. When they have sheet music for a turntable i may change my tune..No pun inteded
