here's another question, Do you like rap music?
 

i was also wondering how many of you like rap music, i dont hate it, but i am not a huge fan of it.:cool:

I definitly am a huge fan of rap/hip-hop or whatever...its good dancing music....its upbeat...sometimes the lyrics might be a little vulgar...but who doesn't like that sometimes! I like it....its good!

rap poisons the mind. Any rap, all rap, even pop rap, is noise, and needs to be wiped from the planet like a disease.

Lyrics are horrible, it perpetuates the whole "gansta" nonsense, and generally does nothing to enrich the lives or spirits of its listeners.

I hate rap, enough said.

That's what they said in the 50's and 60's about rock and roll :)

While I'm not a fan of rap, some can be ok, and not all rap has bad messages (although most does).

Can't spell crap without rap.

'nuff said.

Thank you Ben, you said everything i wanted to say. As for the vulgar lyrics, i want nothing of them, i am one person who doesnt like that ever. Rap is not Hip-Hop just like pop-punk is not punk. I really have no problem with Hip-Hop, it is definitely an art form that takes a lot of talent to do well, Saul Williams and Jurrassic 5 are a couple artists that do it well. Rap, like ben said, is full of vulgar, explicitly sexual lyrics that do nothing to uplift. Would you turn the radio down or off if your Grandma walked into your room while you were listening to rap? Unless you have no care as to what your Grandma thinks of you, i think you would.

Rap is fast talking pop

OK.. now.. given.. I don't like rap... but i won't judge it or anyone else who likes it.. its not my place nor anyone elses to judge.. if ya like it, great, more power to ya.. if not.. thats good too.. some rap is funny.. downright hilarious... i just hate the violent schtuff... Punk is better.. its not all about Anarchy and hating the government.. while that stuff exists (and is pretty dang good) theres happy, feel better, love your neighbor, we're all friends punk.. (and they havn't even sold out.. ) *yay*.. techno rox too.. great to dance with chicks to... ok.. i know i've been off-topic most of the time.. but let people have what they like.. and you take your stuff...

thanks, you saved me a lot of typing...

Rap is not music. To be music, it has to be played instrumentally. I respect rap as an art form, but it's not music. Not a fan. Give me oldies anyday!

does that mean that Techno isn't music because its "not played instrumentally?" Or... some of the pop coming out now is done with synth's and digi-keyboards and shiz... Also.. if you watched MTV back in the day, they did a Unplugged with LL Cool J... instuments were there and it worked out..... *Sigh* i can't believe i'm defending rap

Just give me that some of that ole time Rock n Roll. John Mellencamp, KISS, Chicago, Boston. I'll even listen to the Village People before I would consider listening to that rap crap. Most rap you can't understand the "so called" lyrics anyways.
