Rap

[Lunar Templar]

one of the best remakes ever.

listened to some of his stuff, shame he got shot, he had some worth while things to say.

and if he and B.I.G. where still around who knows, maybe mainstream rap would be worth listening to instead of the massive pile of shit that it currently is.

that said, i do know there are a handful of rappers that have real talent, but they are to far and few between.


like that one

I often find rap lame and offensive, other rap I've bought albums of. If someone said "I hate all rap." then I might look at them funny just for the sweeping generalization, surely there would be something I could find that would not offend them so much if not be genuinely enjoyable for them. Ultimately though it seems true that there is no accounting for taste. Can't argue preference, horses for courses, whatever floats your boat.

In my experience, anyone who says they hate rap just hasn't found the right artist yet.

I actually like the rapping about bitches and money if it's done right. Kanye West, for example, is just insane enough and a good enough rapper that it doesn't really matter what he sings about- it just works.

Case in point. He's just telling it how it is in his own bizarre way. Bonus points for AKIRA references in the video.

I like Kanye because his production is always top notch

To me rapping isn't singing, [b/]and 99% of the time the music generated is by electronic means.[/b]

slightly off topic but regardless of genre that really shouldn't matter most of the time....a note is still a note played on a piano or through eletronic means
