I have like 12. :D I love reading.

Anyway, the book was called Win-Win Ecology, by Michael Rozensweig.

[LordDargon]

Rap is about the lyrics, it's like poetry, read my list, that stuff is good (beastie boys just funny). It isn't about music, so shut up, don't be so close minded and stop trying to get people to stop listening to what you don't like.
Which was my point in the first place. Rap isn't music, it's a bunch of lyrics. If I want poetry, I'll go read some poetry. If I want music, I'll listen to some music. Makes sense, doesn't it?

I agree, though I'm not the least bit fond of rap. I think its because I avoid it and havn't heard people on your list. But mainstream rap (to my knoledge) has the worst lyrics imaginable. Pure egotism, 'woo I have money so I'm going to write a song about it' ect...No possiable topic less fit for lyrics. And Eminem..what kind of person writes a whole song about their name? (theres more in it I assume but I can't make out what he says nor do I have the will to) Am I just rambling mindlessly or does anyone at least partially agree with me?

[Arucard]

meh yeh i guess, but i admire eminems early work alot
he alwats gives me a laugh

No. Poetry is not always focused on rhythm and rhyme. Flow is more important in rap. Poetry readings are nice, but in no way comparable to rap.


I think Eminem is quite comical lyrically. He has pretty fair lyrics as well.

[I Am Vikingcore]

Whatever, my English teacher said that rap is basicly poetry, I agree.

EVEREYBODY


Check out K-OS

Best rapper of all time.

[Arucard]

check out esQuire, funniest rapper ever, he supported electric six he was making everyone piss
he was actually gay it was so funny

Well as they said, that's just mainstream rap with the bling blang garbage.

But still, if it consists of a dude talking rythmically, no matter how good what he says is, I don't want to hear it if I'm looking for music. It's faster to just read what the guy says if you want to know.

I have no problem with rap as a musical style, but I have a huge problem with its current subject matter. The way I see it, rap was very well on its way to developing a highly influential social consciousness in the late '80s, with bands like Public Enemy rapping about social injustice like the LAPD killing innocent black people simply on the basis of the percieved criminal intent of said individuals. It was shaping up to be a very vital, important cultural revolution. Then what happens? Gansta rap comes along and brings the gang wars, drug addictions, and horrible sex-related disease and hardship of the inner cities to the mainstream, and treats ALL of it as something to be respected, with a scant few rappers, like 2pac, sticking with the social consciousness direction. The "pimp" legend followed that and totally sunk rap and perpetuated every possible stereotype of the modern 20-something black man. Just ridiculous. Now we have black people dreaming of being these people instead of productive members of society, and thanks to us and our continuing prejudices, that's all they feel like they CAN be. That and basketball players. But that whole era of rap, in my opinion, just made the whole situation worse, reinforcing white prejudice while perpetuating the downward spiral of inner city life. All these idiots like Nelly need to see Boyz N The Hood or something. I hate modern rap not because it's hard to listen to, but because its subject matter is repugnant. Anyways, I know I probably generalized a lot, so if anybody takes issue with my idea of the situation, I'd be happy to discuss. That's just the way I see the trend developing.

[Permanent Solution]

Whatever, my English teacher said that rap is basicly poetry, I agree.

Any good lyrics are poetic. The Doors' music is also labeled as poetry, that doesn't make it true. I would argue that your English teacher may not be the most intelligent person.

thats pretty much how i feel. I would rep ++ you for bothering to argue, but i have to spread it around first

[Cain]

You make some good points, although I think you're missing out on a lot of modern rap. Stuff by artists such as Jurassic 5 and The Roots is modern rap, and doesn't promote violence, or an appalling attitude. Similarly, music by the likes of The Beastie Boys and Outkast fulfils the same sort of role, and isn't really negative or anything like that. Yeah, a lot of mainstream rap sucks, although I'm curious about why you picked out Nelly? His music may not be much good, but compared to a lot of rappers, he's hardly offensive in his subject matters.

Nelly is a rapper that perpetuates the "pimp" legend. I find that just disgusting. I don't see him as gangsta rap or anything like that. I just take issue with his glorification of that lifestyle.

[I Am Vikingcore]

Thanks medopolis.

In all seriousness, I think that Jurassic 5 and The Roots are the two best rap groups out there.

[I Am Vikingcore]

Ripper, Nelly is just cheesey fun rap music about girlfriends and stuff.

Forgot these, add to list: Outkast, Jay-Z.

[Arucard]

i do like outkast alot, his lyrics are funny, and he definatly doesnt promote the hummer, gangster dream, sex five times a day image

[I Am Vikingcore]

Outkast is two guys, lol.

Andrea 3000 (singer) and Big Boi (rapper)

[Cain]

Yeah, ok. Nelly shall not be cited any longer. There we go. :thumb:

[LeperAffinity]

Outkast is two guys, lol.

Andrea 3000 (singer) and Big Boi (rapper)
Andre raps as well, and he's damn good at it.

[I Am Vikingcore]

This is great, people who like rock and rap, don't know many of us folks.

[LordDargon]

Outkast is two guys, lol.

Andrea 3000 (singer) and Big Boi (rapper)
That's another thing that gets me, the ebonics. Apparently this is supposed to be one of the intelligent rap groups, but still the names are spelt "Big Boi" and sh.it like that. If they really wanted to set themselves apart, they could start by spelling properly.

[I Am Vikingcore]

Andre raps as well, and he's damn good at it.

In their older stuff moreso, in their new stuff he hardly ever raps.

[Arucard]

i know that, i mean andre 3000, because Big Boi is an ***, who does promote the gangster image.
Prepare For War = Best dragonforce song ever

You know how many friggin metal bands mispell their names?

Do you realize it doesn't freaking matter, your just using the stereotypes of rap and being closed minded. Go and dig through the groups we are talking about, check out their stuff, it is amazing lyricism, most of it much better than a lot of metal

Very well put. It obsesses most teenagers in the sub urbs, and its downright annoying. When I actually lived in the sub urbs I couldn't go anywhere without seeing how influential this form of 'music' has been. Look at stores in the mall, clothes people wear, all are influnced by the music. White kids dressing like they're black, talking like their black, losing all of their true heritage. Mainstream rap is diminishing every positive aspect of american teenagers and pre teens in general, though it isnt like everyone is listening to it and pretending that they are part of the life style glamorized in the music they listen to. Why this music is so popular is beyond me, but you eather like rap, mindless pop, or the more intelligent set tend to like real rock/metal ect. because they think about what they're listening to and how most of it is utterly pointless. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why I dislike rap, at least mainstream rap..

How many? I'm not talking about Korn or Linkin Park or any of that bull**** here. Any metal band that takes themselves seriously and tries to make an impact in the music world spells their name properly.

Don't get me wrong, I love metal, but you can't talk about rappers not being taken seriously because of their names when you have bands like Anal Blast, Cannibal Corpse, Mortician, etc. And for misspellings, Kreator, Berzerker, etc. The point is, the name does not make an artist, the music does.

Wow, really? I bet all of that classic rock is mainstream arena rock (ac/dc, guns n roses, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, The Who). Not neccisarily a bad thing, but you barely ever see people who are into blues and folk rock.

[Cain]

Rap is a form of music.

Hip-Hop is a form of idiocy.

Quoted for truth.

There was a huge hip-hop-oriented show at my college a few weeks ago, and they had this amazing spoken-word poet whose mantra was "**** hip-hop" because of the culture's tendency to get more young black children focused on diamond jewelry and rims than an education.

Actually, did anybody see this Chris Rock special they've been showing on HBO recently? He talks about a lot of this stuff in a great way, and I'm pretty happy that he's saying stuff like it. Maybe that will wake a few people up.

[Bartender]

Rap is a form of music.

Hip-Hop is a form of idiocy.

Rap is part of hip hop culture. It's one of the five (I think) keystones to it. Just because the most prevalent form of hip hop culture at the moment is badly diseased doesn't mean the whole thing can be written off.

[Cain]

Just curious, as we're talking a lot about how American city issues and stuff influences hip-hop and vice versa. What do you guys learn about all this sort of stuff in the UK? Not acting like you don't get accurate stuff there, but I'm curious. What sort of idea do you have about the American inner-city problems, generally?

EDIT: Intended mostly for Bartender, but all you Aussies and other UK-ites(word? it is now) can feel free to answer. I'm really wondering.

[Bartender]

I couldn't say, to be honest. I could only tell you (a posteriori) of my point of view, and, stuck-up though I will sound in saying it, I've just never really been around un/badly educated people (more than in passing); just people who have always been reasonably well-versed in lots of areas. My point of view is even more distorted because I've spent a not inconsiderable amount of time in America anyway.

That said, the impression that I get is that people in Britain (barring those without a chance) tend to have a decent amount of knowledge of countries outside of England, the US in particular.

Yeah, just wondering. I can only imagine what sort of impression you must get from some of the Americans on this site...personally, I like that there are multiple nationalities on here. We can actually discuss this sort of stuff, and destroy propagandist impressions. I wish more of the regs here posted in the Pit's political forum, as it's always healthy and interesting to know what Europeans are thinking at any given point and time about America. I'm none too happy with the American populace in general and of course am furious with the Bush Administration, and I'm concerned that some Europeans might get the wrong impression, that all of America voted for the imbecile, as opposed to the 52% it actually was. I hate what we are in the eyes of all of you folks in Europe. I try not to be what we are in that respect.

Actually my friends and I were talking about it today, and we thought that we should write letters to all European Union nations aligned against the U.S.-Iraq war and ask them to invade us to get us to cut it out. How come the intelligence agencies of other countries can't depose our regime if they don't like it? I wouldn't mind. It would serve us right too, for the similar stuff our wonderful CIA has done.

That idiot. I can't believe he actually managed to convince some Americans that Europeans "wouldn't follow Kerry," and then claimed to know "how they think." What rubbish. It's clear to me that even the populaces of those nations involved in our coalition were pushing for Kerry. What a mess we've landed ourselves in by voting for Bush again. But anyway, sorry, this should go in Politics. Just some two cents, Bartender.

How come the intelligence agencies of other countries can't depose our regime if they don't like it? I wouldn't mind. It would serve us right too, for the similar stuff our wonderful CIA has done.

That idiot. I can't believe he actually managed to convince some Americans that Europeans "wouldn't follow Kerry," and then claimed to know "how they think." What rubbish. It's clear to me that even the populaces of those nations involved in our coalition were pushing for Kerry. What a mess we've landed ourselves in by voting for Bush again. But anyway, sorry, this should go in Politics. Just some two cents, Bartender.


I would post in there, but I am a Bush supporter... And I have seen that place, it is full of democrates and not enough republicans. And any one that supports Bush in there gets jumped upon by 9743327 democrates and chant you are wrong and they are right in every way possible.

So ya, not my kind of place, its a congregation for one political party, not all of them.

[LordDargon]

Don't get me wrong, I love metal, but you can't talk about rappers not being taken seriously because of their names when you have bands like Anal Blast, Cannibal Corpse, Mortician, etc. And for misspellings, Kreator, Berzerker, etc. The point is, the name does not make an artist, the music does.
Ah, I was wondering if someone would pick up on Kreator or Kataklysm. Or Berzerker. But the vast majority still spell their names correctly. And I don't see whats wrong with the name Mortician, even though they are a terrible band... Also, Anal Cunt are

1. A Joke Band
2. Not Even Metal

[Arucard]

mmm there is alot of tension in this place since yesterday
peace and everything?

The point of my post was to state that misspelling don't determine a band's quality. Obviously, Kreator are an amazing thrash band, and The Berzerker are amazing death/grind. The name shouldn't matter at all...let the music speak for itself.

[SonorKen]

We played an INCREDIBLE show last night. The crowd was insane and we actually had another band play in between our sets. This band is a HUGE local band and only plays 4 times a year. They have a huge following and are known as one of the top 3 bands in the state. Well, we kicked the dogshiit out of them! It was killer! They were still a great band, they had 8 members, we have 4, and we still killed em!

[thickasabrick]

hey sonorken what kind of music does your band play? do you write your own songs? is my assumption that you are the drummer right?

[SonorKen]

We primarily play covers, were going to set some time aside and do originals one day soon I hope. We play everything but, we pretty much play what will get us paid the most. Yea, I play drums.

[Mekkalayakay]

Inner Mounting Flame is incredibly technical....blows me away. Even weirder how it was made 30+ years ago. They were way ahead of their time. Every musician is ace. Get this cd NOW :p
Guitar solos, violin solos, Cobham on drums is a beast, and they keyboardist..... he started it all with the keyboards. Wow.

The Flecktones do the same thing for me, but with completely different music. Sounds incredibly weird, but there is some serious orgasmic harmonica playing in there, along with banjo and bass solos. Also get this cd NOW.


Best purchases I've made in a long time. :)

[Cain]

Thanks zepfan!! :thumb: rep you if I can...
