(sorry I was bored)

Rap will be cool as long as new artists keep it fresh...

...but you kids need to pull up your pants.

I'm 15 I'm a teenager

oh and how did you know my pants were down lol just kidding

i dont mind some of it, but i cant stand it when they use a swear word every second word, it gets so annoying, but i do perfer rock, its all a matter of opinon

you will never see a rap oldies station that is for sure

ello guys so you gonna vote

i did vote...i voted that rap sucks

It was never cool to me.

ok

ladys please don't fight we'll be here all night

ello ello

come and vote

well i am going to bed..have a good one

for me rap has gone too much into the PIMP style of lyrics... i enjoy some songs, but its a shame when almost everysong has the same women depicted as a low-down buck machines. but i always give a rap CD a listen in my car. i'm listening to the Luda, J-Z, Em, 50, Twista, and kenya west...withsome oldschool brothas pickin' up the gangsta lyrics..EzE, NWA...AND DEATH ROWWW

then vote for it rocks

i voted Yes, when there was a higher vote..shucks!!

btw..have you ever heard Natedogs new cd or old one.." music and me" or "music in me", i can't find one to

This is offtopic, but could someone PM me and tell me how to make a poll? I can't figure it out...

Dude, you got banned. That means your rap got censor.

rap is nice

Rapping can be good if its done well.

50 Cent, D12, Obie Trice, Ludacris, Ja Rule, Chingy and sadly, Eminem all SUCK. They're ruining hip hop for everyone.

Mobb Deep, Jedi Mind Tricks, The Pharcyde, Ice Cube, Big L and Cannibal Ox are where its at. I'm no expert, but I know quality when I hear it.

Arrested Development, The Fugees, Outcast, TLC (*sob sob* Lisa ) ROCK.

I think Ra is the Disco OF Today.. eventually people will wake up and say to themselves "What in the world...?" and will through out all there bandanas, grow back there shaved heads and walk away...

It would be REALLY funny if it happened spontaneously at an Eminem concert...

i mean.. look at that pothead! he walks around, calling everybody names, abusing and everybody defends him, telling you that he's being a stupid biatch cuz 'he was hurt as a child'.


SO WHAT?!?!?!

when was rapping cool to begin with?

My friend nicked Vanilla Ice LP from school, it fecking rules

rapping aint kewl, but burly is!

yeah not as much as you though
95% is cRAP but Ice, Ice Baby rules

burly should have his own following!!

lightbulb

just like with any music it depends on the artist.....rap can be cool or it can suck but thats the same with alternative and rock....rappers like eminem keep it fresh bt rapping about things besides f*cking woman....you got ludacris, jay z and nas who can all rap and have there own styles.... but than you got rappers who rap about the same damn thing on every song

me to, tho i dont mind some of it, i prefur rock and alternitive!

rap smells

Grand Buffet is the best rap group in the world. They rap about candy bars, video games, role playing games, and being secret agents.

"Have you ever gotten sick/from eating s#!t/you say you didnt but you did/have you ever seen the double crazy kid/turn the juice up and flip his lid"

Rap doesn't "rock" Rap is da shit, you either love it or hate it, an of course we always gonna get haters.

i have just got quite into rap recently, so yeah, i think it's pretty good!

rapping is still cool, its just that there are no quality artists around.

wtf??? there are hundreds of good artists out there, its just 90% of them are underground, so most people aint heard them.

rap isnt the same as it was in the 80s and early 90s. back then, guys rapped about how good they can rap, how much game they had, shit like that. now, you got guys like ludicrous talking about "get out the way, byatch." and 50 cent showing off his gunshot wounds and shit. it all started the downhill slide when NWA came along. gangsta rap killed rap. i am sure that there are some good underground rappers who rap with and old school fashion, but the majority of todays rappers are a joke.

No, they're nothing like oldschool rap. And nowadays underground hip hop is TOTALLY different from mainstream horseshit like 50 and Ludacris. Its poetic, intelligent and thought-provoking. Trust me, the underground lyricists of today are much better than any artists of the last 20 years.

better than ALL of them? thats a bold statement. guys like run dmc, krs one, they come along once in a lifetime. i seriously doubt that these new underground rappers can even come close to touching them.

^ I like the old school rap. Like Run DMC and Public Enemy. But all that Hip Hop stuff is just annoying! Gawd! Can they get any louder???

They were pioneers, but that doesn't make them the best. Immortal Technique and Cunninlynguists for example, they're lyrics are complex and layered, they deal with important issues as well as morals and ethics, and present them through narratives of real life experiences...its powerful stuff.

so you prefer gangsta rap over hip hop? its your choice, but i honestly dont see the appeal. here are some artists that are pretty much the best of all time....
run dmc, krs one, public enemy, beastie boys, whodini, eric b and rakim, pete rock and cl smooth, ll cool j, a tribe called quest...there are alot more, but i cant think of them now. the only new rappers i like are DMZ ans Naz.

Some people can rap good and others just ruin it. It all depends on whose rapping... I'll listen if it sounds any good but I don't really

to each their own, but as i said, the new rappers, i just dont like them.

Woah woah woah! Gansta rap? I don't remeber saying nothing about gangsta rap. Gangsta rap died when Ice Cube retired. I was talking about underground hip hop. Very different from gangsta rap. And I would say with confidence that the two artists I mentioned before are better lyricists than any of those you listed there.

Well I think IT ISNT

hear hear

which artists? better than KRS one? thats crap. lets just say you like them better, while i like the old school guys better. neither of us are qualified to say who is better.

rap is awsome.


i rap a little bit but im no 2pac.

what about a 4pac?

I drank a 6pac

rofl

i have a 12pac at home.

Rap was never cool. Ryme is the simplest form of sound ever... there is no complexity and if you stopped to listen to what they say its extrodiarily stupid... i don't like it when someone tells me that i shouldn't listen to the words to like it but the beat... thats lame.

You are so wrong.

i am with the star f*cker on this one. rap is not as easy as you think it is.

yea, my brother is a rapper and he has his own label and they're trying to get big, i hope they do... he's friends with a bunch of famous rappers though... i think rap's amazing

i know a guy who works for def row records. man, his lexus is bling bling.

Me and my friend saw phat ass insane rimz on a 80's-early 90's piece of shit Volvo, and he goes "JP, when we come out we're taking those rimz" and when we came out I said "Let me take ONE" and he laughed, and I screamed "I NEED TO SKEET!!!!!!!!!!"

(from: Cunninlynguists - Dying Nation)
I live in a nation where it ain't what's physical that fights us
Now it's silent strikes from political insiders
A black market government where being criminal is righteous
Ran by bloodlines that were dirty before Isis
The crisis has even spread to spiritual infestations
Confessionals filled with sexual molestations
Professionals so set on capitalization
They don't notice their children freebasin' in their million
Dollar basements
Babies having babies in the hood I grew up in
Hands are too small for the guns that they be bustin'
Schools underfunded, graduates retain nothing
On Capitol Hll it's barely a topic of discussion
Kids like, why should I think about college
When this hood situation is holding me hostage
And even if I fought and bought the knowledge
I'd prolly get shot 41 times by a cop over my wallet
Shiiiiit.. So wherever you are
Don't inhale the second hand smoke from its victory cigar
Motivate yourself don't just stand on the side
Facing a dying nation and listening to the new told lies

No complexity huh? Stupid huh? Don't think so.

Don't judge what you don't understand.

i couldnt rap if my life depended on it... love the music though

the public has spoken. excellent post, metalhead!!!

As Lil' Flip would say:GAME OVER!
