this discussion reminds me of the lyrics for
Lootpack- Whenimondamic
Intro: [Wild Child]
Ha Ha Ha Hah, yes yes
Return of the B-boy style
Props to all the B-boys and B-girls in da house
("Cuz when I'm on the mic I like to speak freely"😉
Check it out
Chorus: [Wild Child]
I got the vibe, 1, 2 check 1, 2
Wild with the style, 1, 2 check 1, 2
Does Jack wreck the rhyme? Hell yeah
"Cuz when I'm on the mic I like to speak freely"
[Wild Child]
Yo, as easy as it may seem MC'ing is not a capa-
bility for most to possess, you gotta catch up,
Take the time to create, construct demonstrate
Set wack MC's straight, drinkin' a V8
I'm like a baseball player on track, got on steel cleats
Represent the contra style until it hits the streets
My backbone attack wack poems, got mad rap tones
I destroy fake Madlib beats and Crackerjack poems (Ha-Ha)
It's time for lunch already, yes past lunch
I eat MC's like Captain Crunch, I attack and I punch
Rapping in such different styles that's unlike yours
Wack MC's, I point you out and point out all of your flaws
All of your jaws get broken, styles no jokin'
Battling straight up battling is what I'm provokin'
But I'll die before this wack MC infects the
Hip Hop industry to the point I cannot breathe
But if Wildstyle dies before Wild Child wakes
I pray to God to step down and take out all them fake
MC's, pretty please
"Cuz when I'm on the mic I like to speak freely"
(Chorus)
[Wild Child]
Down with the Liks, Jump straight from the bass onto the kicks
Non-freestylin' MC's fall straight down in the pits
My name be Jack, spontaneous freestylist when I catch wreck
Brothers bite me so hard saying my rhymes I ain't even wrote yet
So I take it to the max, take out Fake-Funkin' Jacks
Get to the point as I rock over Madlib bumpin' tracks
"You used to get busy at open mics?" Nah, I still do
I kill crews, lyrically, spiritually, yo I will do
Anything it takes to bring B-boy style back
And the thanks for you to make ya say my rhyme style's phat
But I'll die before these wack MC's infect the
Hip Hop industry to the point I cannot breathe
But if Wildstyle dies before Wild Child wakes
I pray to God to step down and take out all them fake
MC's, pretty please
"Cuz when I'm on the mic I like to speak freely"
(Chorus: 2x)

oh god... I couldn't name that many rock bands, even if I could include crappy ones... I know there are that many, just that you seem to know more about music than me..

Myth, you're just digging the hole deeper and deeper, showing your ignorance on the subject you are speaking on. While we have given you many artists who do not talk about you keep ignoring this and going back to the same damned argument over and over. Even though we have proven this argument to be only viable to mainstream rap. You are just showing yourself to be, for lack of a better term, an idiot.
You hate rap that's the end of it please keep your negative observations about it to yourself. It's pretty disrespectful to the people who value it more than a form of expression but as a way of life.

Excuse me, did you just insult Nirvana? You have moderately good taste in music as far as rap goes, but do NOT badmouth Nirvana. And I don't care how much you hate rock, both rock and rap are here to stay.Other than that (and what you said about Nas... I don't like Nas..), I agree with you.
You definetly got me wrong there.
I LUV NIRVANA!!
i never liked Nas...like i said in other threads after Illmatic he went downhill. 🙁
Pac went downhill when the beef started with W vs E
Biggie was always downhill (i dunno y people like his music)
i've never seen a respected underground hip hop artist go downhill....
well maybe Common since he did sell out on the fans. 🙁
No, Linkin Park suck. They have no instrumental talent, their vocalist sucks, and why the hell do they have two DJ's? If you listen carefully, you'll notice that half their drum beats are artificial--artificial beats are fine for hip hop and rap, but not rock. Offspring are good, POD are ok.
There are still talented bands out there. It's sort of like hip hop--you won't hear the good ones being played on MTV.
Tool, Incubus, SOAD, Offspring, Green Day, A Perfect Circle, LostProphets, U2... Just to name a few.

let's take a stroll down memory lane...
Yes, I realized what I had said and apologized. I didn't think things through rationally and I came across as a bastard. For that, I apologized. But at the same time you started doing the same thing to me and started using name calling during an immature attack even after I apologized.
Also as I said,
it is a stereotype because lots of rappers DO rap about that crap. You guys don't need to post more lyrics to prove to me that its not all bad because I've already stated that its not all bad. Personally, it just doesn't appeal to me.I may have been wrong about saying "generally" but this statement above still remains true.

2 dj's??? 😂they must be eithe rreally good (which from the posts i doubt) or they just idiots.
One of them is quite good, and should really quit that loser job and make a real life for himself, because he definitely has the talent. The other one just sort of stands there and looks cool...

you are still not understanding completely.
That may be true because everybody is bias but I'm trying to be civilized about this (not saying you aren't). I feel what I'm saying is true though so maybe my expanation is just off and you aren't understanding what I'm saying. Do you agree that it is a stereotype that rappers sing about that stuff? Because stereotypes start somewhere even if its not the norm. Some rap about that stuff which gives the rest of rappers a bad name.
no myth i disagree with you.
and most of u dont understand what rap and hip hop are
hip hop is the culture and rap is what you do. i think KRS-One said that.
Underground Hip Hop is more complex and the lyrics make you think.
mainstream hip hop is all violence and stuff.
ill post lyrics to underground hip hop.
Aesop Rock- Daylight
great song 😮💨
Yo...put one up shackle me, not clean logic procreation
I did not invent the wheel I was the crooked spoke adjacent
While the triple sixers lassos keep angels roped in the basement
I walk the block with a halo and a stick poking your patience
Ya'll catch a 30 second flash visual
Dirty cooperative Neptune blue head hurt splits
Ridiculous fathom the splicing of first generation
f**k up or trickle down anti hero smack (Cracking!)
I paste the game to zero all completion green (Splash!)
Took an early retirement pick a dream
American nightmare hogging the screen
I'll hold the door open so you can stumble in
and you would stop following me around the jungle gym
Now it's an honor and I spell it with the 'H' I stole from heritage
Marry crutch stolen wretched refuge refuse my teaming resonance
I promise temperance storm breed with a leaning conscious
In a credence relax responsive with my sports outsource the wattage
And I'm sleeping now (Wow!) And the settlers laugh
You won't be laughing when your covered wagons crash
You won't be laughing when the buses drag your brother's flags
into rags
You won't be laughing when your front lawn is spangled with epitaphs
You won't be laughing
And I hang my boots to rest when I'm impressed
So I triple knot them then I forgot them
This origami dream is beautiful
but man those wings will never leave the ground
Without a feather and a lottery ticket, now settle down
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way.
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way.
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way.
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way.
Slacker bounded imitated tabloid headlined with the post
Shimmy cross the centerfold, and a dead time in ghosts
Giving crumbs for the better souls with seven deadly sins
To hear the plane to crystal conscious
To results a low life counting on one hand what he's accomplished
Ok, lift me to activism chain activate street sweep
Plug in deteriorating zenith pen dragging
I hack swords wars for the morbid spreading of mad men
Now he's got soul
Sitting there licking log cabin in Charlie Chaplin waddle
I could zig zag and zig 'em again for the bad dreams
Sparking my brick wall windows another thicket storm
And if one night in Gotham without the wretched
Houston we have a problem
Dispatch a task of infested patch of city goblins
Who split how many freaks with box cuts of a high road bellow
Heads ripped! Watch red bricks turn yellow
Sort of similar to most backbones at camp Icarus
Raw feelings start congregating at pamper for bickering
Life's not a ***** life is a beautiful woman
Your only call her a ***** because she won't let you get that pussy
Maybe she didn't feel y'all shared any similar interests
Or maybe you're just an ******* who couldn't sweet talk the princess
Kiss the speaker wire or either pass it for some pagan thresh hold
Stomach full of halo kibbles
Wings span cast black of porn visuals hear the duck hunt ticker
tape
Vision and pick apart the pixels
I got a friend of polar nature and it's all peace
When I seek similar stars but can't sit at the same feast
Metal Captain!
This cat is asking if I've seen his little lost passion
I told him: 'Yeah, but only when I pedaled past him'
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,
put the pieces back together my way.
All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day,

I honestly don't think you are understanding what I'm trying to say. You just admitted that mainstream hip hop (which includes rap) is all "violence and stuff." The culture (hip hop) and the style (rap) run together btw. Anyway, a couple posts ago, I even said it was probably just the mainstream. But you are telling me that in the underground hip hop, 'nobody has bad lyrics?' I know you aren't understanding what I'm saying because you even posted more lyrics. Posting good lyrics does not prove that there are no songs that have bad lyrics, it just proves that its not all bad (which I said earlier).

GreenDay now aint that something! Where are those boys I haven't heard from them in a long time?
U2 is real good too, however my statement didn't apply to them as they've been here even before Nirvana.
I also used to like Smashmouth, Massive Attack, OPM ,MatchBox 20, Beck, Red Hot Chilli Peppers though i'm not too hooked on the new stuff. I've never quite figured Oasis they can be pretty good and reaaal bad so...
However Nirvana still kicks-ass more than these by a long shot!
