Re: Rap Music is a cultural disease.
Like any other genre of music, you have to sift through mountains of crap to find a true diamond.

I don't take it that you've ever tried to do that, but if done correctly Hip Hop (as we like to call it, rap is almost universally horrible IE the Lil's)

Unfortunately stupid music is what's profitable right now, so that's all we're hearing, be it Nickelback or Lil Wayne.

But honestly your definition of music is pretty flawed. Any sound directed with purpose can be construed as being musical.

its probably best to compare the list with your very own personal accomplishments.

that shouldn't take long.

Again, irrelevant to the discussion. You guys just don't know how to argue.

Well, after a day of battling these rap lovers, I stand by my claim. Rap is a cultural disease.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1563193


the only thing irrelevant is you.

but you're going to find this out sooner or later anyway.

you should respond with a thank you today. i took a lot for me to tell you that.

but you're obviously still thinking a world where people like yourself matters is a possibility...so you'll restrain yourself from giving me my well deserved accolades.

anyway...count the number of peer or fan awards on your bookcase or mantel and then respond when the count equals at least 1.

otherwise...you are just a fucking hack and your opinion is of no importance.

If I am irrelevant then why do you engage me? Is this an admission of your own irrelevancy as well? After all, a CEO rarely discusses business operations with the janitor, for example.

Keep it up rap lovers. And as per your request, Thank you for making my case for me.

Re: Rap Music is a cultural disease.
I don't like anything that passes through my walls without my invitation.
The loud sub audible bass from rap music is making people physically sick and sometimes it makes me borderline insane. I have cultivated an unhealthy hate for the individuals who perpetrate this assault on my senses.
I do not appreciate the invasion of my home.
If I was not being forced to listen to something that the only thing I can describe as someone beating on my floors and walls I might not feel this way.
But that is not the case.

you may have a cognition problem if you don't know the artist.

i woke up this morning listening to the trance music my hard soled shoes on a hard wood floor neighbor walking back and forth all night long apparently enjoys.

Like any other genre of music, you have to sift through mountains of crap to find a true diamond.

I don't take it that you've ever tried to do that, but if done correctly Hip Hop (as we like to call it, rap is almost universally horrible IE the Lil's)

Re: Rap Music is a cultural disease.
Again, you guys try to shift the argument:

In case you have already forgotten, a previous rap lover made the claim that there were plenty of rap artists out there with classical musical backgrounds.

I asked him to provide proof.

Therefore, the burden of proof lies on his shoulders.

I'm just waiting, waiting, waiting....
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1563193


Actually he said there are plently of classically trained musicians in rap, which is hugely different than having a classical music background.

It appears that you think that for a musician to have any worth they must have a background in classical music, which is completely ridiculous.

I despise most rap, some is alright, but for the most part I agree with you. The difference is that I'm not a self-important douche set on convincing others that my opinion is right by berating them and the music they like.
