well, i've always hated rap and the only song i've ever liked EVER that was rap was ( i can never remember the name) is one about religion ( I'm an aithiest btw) and it was actually deep, unlike the rest of the crap about vodka or heroin, or a mixture of the two.
could it be
. As for the "rest of the crap about vodka or heroin"... Aside from the average commercial rap being about weed and champagne, not all rap is like that.

My personal opinion is that rap nowadays is complete and utter shit.

Used to be good, now rotten trash.
Agreed.... the glorious days of "bustin' caps ina foo" is over. Now all they rap about is how rich they are.
Again, have a peek up there. In particular, check out The Nosebleed Section. Point me out the line where it's talking about how rich they are?

See, this comes up every time Rap is "discussed" on here. I say "discussed" because it's usually people going "lawl bitchez yo!" and thinking that they're oh-so-cool for slamming a genre of music that they've barely scratched the surface on, and even then they've only scratched the surface of what the media says should be popular.
ok, all this is a little confusing, seeming i'm new 2 the escapist, but who ever quoted me, some of it isn't, sum of it is not pants on head retarded, but the majority doesn't get ant more sophisticated than " I'm really really rich so ladies get with me", now a days at least

I dislike the genre to an extreme and just can't stand it. There are very few good rap songs, the only song I can really listen to is "Guilt by Association" it's got a simple beat and has nothing to do about drugs, thugs, guns (like just about all the other ones do) and is funny because the guy basically mumbles through the song.

Another thing I don't like about it is the hypocrisy and how every song is just about the same. Dealing with Drugs, money, "gangsta" life, sex and the hatred of whitey. Now, about the hypocrisy; Rappers are always (ok maybe only some of the time) saying "Don't be a player hater" yet there are multiple rappers with fueds with each other.

Plus, it is always getting mike spammed in most games I play. As well as some utter dipshits that act all gangster. ex.

Me: C'mon guys they're all over the base! What're our snipers doing!?
Gangsta: Shut the fuck up nigga. Just shut yo white ass up. *****, telling me what to do...
Me:...I'm sorry what? I'm trying to make us win! Just leave and cry how you aren't excepted in life so you have to act like an ass on the internet and think everyone else likes you! RAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Okay so maybe that last sentence didn't happen and the second was an exaggeration. But you get my point.

I enjoy rap to a point, the stuff they play on the radio that's based on blues and r&b or ain general slow songs I enjoy. but the "thug" rap and anything with a vocoder tends to piss me off.... then I go listen to celtic punk

Say one line. "Take you to candy shop..." ect make sure it's filled with sexual, violence or drug references. Then have another repeat the same line. Probley female. Make a song with three lyrics total with some dork on a tangent about his house, money, how rich he is then WHOA wait I'm still thug and getto, even though that all means not having money. And peace out...oh WAIT! No I mean, tough beatum up thug...but peace and I'll hurt you thuggness.

Forgetting something... Oh yeah praise a idiot who can say "YEAH, OK" then put his lame ass sound bite in your song now your Rapper no talent P with Little turd.

What else. OH and from the lameness of the biggest wanna be in the rap world Snoop Dogg. Figure out your a sell out and turn yourself in Doc Seuss with made up crap like snizzle my nizzle. To pull in the young wanna be thugs... 12 year old and the like. Then get yourself arrested with a gun every six months to let everyone know your still gangsta. But hide and fear prison time like a little *****.

And last but not least, Make up a word or use a lame street term and drive it into the ground. Crunk, junk, trone, all the way back to the proof you have no talent as a lyric writer. Wave your hands in the air, wave them like you just don't care.

Follow all these steps and wear your pants hanging down showing your boxers (this came from prison which the bitches used to, to show to everyone they were someones *****) and you will make millions.

I did use to like Tupac, but I haven't heard one rapper after 2000 that I've actually liked, and not many before either. Rap isn't really my kind of music either. My sense of music is the kind most people around here hate so I don't really judge anyone's taste, especially since I understand why most would hate the music I listen to. I don't like it, but you're free to like it, just don't force me to listen to it and I will promise not to hurt you.

I stopped listening to rap and focused more on hip hop/underground around early 2000, not looked back since, but now even that is getting tainted....

Sad days really

that is my opinion. noone has to like it. and saying it was the least thought out post ever is going way too far. i have my reasons for thinking this way, i could easily make a huge rant about it, but i left it simple and to the point. I am choosing not to go into it any further despite how much thought i have on the subject(and I have a fuck ton). i just hate rap THAT much.

It's not really my thing, since all the mainstream rap I've heard is mostly over-dramatic posturing about how tough the rapper thinks he/she is. It's really quite annoying.

Right now, my current opinion on rap today is, at the time of the writing that I'm doing at this moment, very contemporary.

Seriously, though, rap is mostly about demeaning women, acting like a baboon and getting wasted. I'm not saying that rock isn't guilty of doing the same, but rap seems to make a culture out of it.

Rock we prefer to bang our women, put them in leather and have them spread eagle on a Mustang.
And unless the woman is in the mosh pit, best not to hit her. We like them rock/punk chica's who'd shank your ass. Not some big bootay slut who bangs guys for bassing speakers in a walmart.

Actually, there is one (only one) rap song that I like - don't remember the name of the song or group, but it was those two Japanese chicks in the vampire bar in "Blade" - not only did I laugh my ass off, but it got kinda catchy... been trying to find it as a download ever since...
