I cry for today's youth! The thing that is really sad to me is that hip hop and rap have so much in common with the blues, and today's artists have no respect for that. I remember when Public Enemy, NWA, et al burst on the scene their power came from introducing America to what was going down in the ghetto's, i.e. racism, police violence, and social issues. True rap artists just get up and talk about what's going on with the music as a back drop, and the old blues was (and is) about whatever is in your soul coming out through the music. Very similar when done right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cry for today's youth! It's not just today's youth that likes it. It's been around 25+ years and isn't going anywhere. I remember my buddy and I driving to school together while going for our MBA's and listening to some type of hip-hop rather loud. I thought out loud, 'wonder what my boss would think'. Many of today's and tomorrows leaders grew up with it. Different strokes I guess I'm sure when you were young, the older dudes where saying the same stuff about you guys and your Rock n Roll.

Eh, anyone who listens to anything slightly out of the ordinary thinks that it would blow people's minds, but most people don't care. I'm sure that when I'm writing an insurance policy, closing a mortgage, rolling over a 401(k), or whatever, my clients are more concerned with me getting them squared away than they are about the fact I was cranking Znowhite's Act of God when I pulled into their driveway.

Bill Swerski Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hip hop and Rap AIN'T FREAKIN' MUSIC (is there a diff :shrug)! I'd say that RUN-DMC, Eric B & Rakim, EPMD, Public Enemy, A Tribe Called Quest, and the Beasties qualify as music. There were A LOT of great hip hop acts back in the '80s and early '90s.

Big Country Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Music is as music does. Some people don't like country, some don't like rap, some don't like rock n roll, some don't like blues, some don't like classical composers, but, like it or not, it is all music. Being judgmental does little to change that. Next you'll tell me that Fantasy Football Wife Swap is not television Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isleseeya Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 When their is a real powerful message behind a rap , and its done in an expressive way where the message is clear and the beats are good , I can still listen to some rap ....eminem is onbe of the fastest , quickest rappers in terms of rhymes I have ever seen and a lot of his music I personally do not like , but there are a bunch of songs with messages and stories which he expresses in very powerful distinct terms which I think are really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
