Members ballhawk Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 You know how you hear a riff and the little flag in your head goes.. that reminds me of... Cream's politician. A simple song with a cool riff. Then I realized why i don't like most rap. I simply feel you can do so much more, even with something that's basic and fundamental. Not a personal attack on you ace, just an observation. But hey whatever floats your boat. I dug the faces too but i stopped listening after a minute and a half. I'll go back and get to the rest of it because I did enjoy the playing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Meowy Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 Can't stand that crap. How many times does the N-word need to be used in a song? The correct answer is zero. The only rap I can tolerate is old school pre-gangsta, yes like Will Smith, RunDMC, etc. I have no interest in what thugs have to say in a song. It's just as bad a a movie with F bombs in every line of dialog (ok Reservoir Dogs, excluded) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kayd_mon Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm not the biggest rap fan, but I do like a few songs here and there. I think this counts as rap, and I used to listen to this song a lot (though not much more of his stuff, really). [video=youtube;twQ4-b1Zs0U]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twQ4-b1Zs0U I have no interest in what thugs have to say in a song. It's just as bad a a movie with F bombs in every line of dialog (ok Reservoir Dogs, excluded) Why is it called an F bomb, when it doesn't hurt or blow up anything?

I get the feeling your views on"rap" (very dated term btw) haven't changed sinced the mid 80s. Your opinion in no way reflects diversity. Should I be open to the opinions of Milosevich as well, say on the topic of ethnic cleansing, seeing as how they differ from mine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Meowy Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 Actually with 4 teenagers in my house I get more than my fair dose of 21st century rap, hip-hop, whatever you choose to call it. Simply put, I don't care for it. I don't need to listen to something I don't like to feel diverse. If you, or my kids want to listen to contemporary music, enjoy it, just keep it down, please.

Members ballhawk Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 It's funny. I responded with an opinion. I tried to balance my response with both my plus and minus thoughts and to state them respectfully. But I suspected a flame-fest was in the works, not one aimed at me but one that would erupt simply because the anonymity of the online world makes it easier to do. I'm going to by a round for everybody so we can relax and have fun. Name your poison (where's that beer emoticon?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All hip hop doesn't sound the same, any more than Nirvana sounds like Aerosmith or Blink 182 like Rush. But I'll go ahead and get off your lawn, it ain't my job to change your mind. Keep rockin, or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Meowy Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 JJ, I am not saying that every hip hop song recorded after 1987 sucks or that it sounds the same or that all hip hop artists look alike. I think I was pretty specific in saying I don't like the gangster culture or its influence in music. A thread was posted, presumably for discussion and I offered my $.02. My lawn, is your lawn.

Members Deadbeat Son Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 I was really hoping for a link to a Wugazi video in the OP...

Members acefreely Posted December 29, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 For the record...I don't really care for that song or any rap song for that matter; there are a few that are catchy.

Members w00dsy Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 i would have liked that a whole lot less had that rather expressive young man not been wailing all over it. Instead i quite enjoyed it. I'm not really a fan of any particular style of music, i really just like hearing guitar prominent music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
