Many times better than what other people seem to listen to, but I never really listen to ska. At least it's reggae though.

Rap is that distinct horrible music that you constantly hear at your highschool, or on the street if you live in a city, or on the radio, or on TV. It can be identifyed by the "drum" beat that continually loops over and over. Often, listeners of rap identify the quality of a rap "song" by how "phat" its beat is, or something like that.
Another major characteristic of rap, is the stupid ass f**king nutsty lyrics that a bunch of "bad ass muthas" try to sing over the equally stupid ass f**king nutsty drum machine and synthesizers. These lyrics are basically always about how they just busted a phat cap in their homeez azzes. Or about how "life is hard in the ghetto". Nobody f**king gives a nuts how life is in the ghetto, last time I was in the ghetto my wallet got stolen, so shut the f*ck up.

Sums it up in one but everyone has there own likes and dislikes

And did you read what i posted? There is no genre for thrice, it changes everyday, not all their lyrics are emotional, and what is, isn't whiney crap, its more hardcore than anything.

There is a lot of great hip hop out there. In the underground scene, rappers shy away from "bling" and "b*tches" and focus more on clever beats and strong wordplay. Heads like Del, Aesop Rock, Cannibal Ox, The Streets et al are inventive and light years ahead of the rappers coming off the Jay-Z generation.

This poll is pathetic.

There is no 'blues' option.
There is no 'classical' option.
There is no 'jazz' option.
There are no 'spiritual' or 'folk' options.

I like all these better than all the options there, except perhaps 'rock in general'.

[Mec]

Oh yes, and about rap:


Rap should not be in this pathetic poll, for the simple reason that it is not a genre of music.

In fact, it ISN'T music.

Rap is so horrible and stupid is should be illegal in all countries.

If I were homo, I'd so do Havanor. The Streetz are fuggign awesome.

I'm not trying to pull you, even though I would like to, I think you are really fit, your fit, your fit, but don't you know it!

*grooves*

Hold it down boy, your heads getting blurred, I know you can't stop, thinkin of her, by all means you can vibe with this girl, but just don't mug yourself, that's all, don't mug yourself.

Anyone got any of The Streets albums? I wanna know if their worth buying.

Edit: Hah, screw it, I just bought both on amazon.com cus they came together cheap.

Saying that good rap isn't a genre of music is called insulting yourself and questioning your right of speech basically. I can take that people don't like, but when they say it's not music I can barely stop laughing.

Define music?

*grinding electric guitarrs*?

I'd say it's more about rythm and feelings than anything else.

But of course, nowdays no good rap is produced anymore (at least not mainstream, I don't know of very much american underground), but that has nothing to do with rap and it's greatness. Notice how I said "good rap" up there ^-

[Flux]

If you like The Streets for Mike Skinners words try downloading the song "No Regrets" by Aesop Rock, which is probably the States' best example of obtuse storytelling in a hip hop song.

If you like him for his British accent check out Dizee Rascal who actually tours with him this year. (Best song to sample would be "Fix Up, Look Sharp")

As for the haters:

It's pretty dumb to make general assumptions about an entire genre of rap based on a few songs you've heard on mainstream radio. It's like me bashing punk based on hearing only Blink 182 and Avril Lavigne while flipping through MTV: a crappy, watered-down representation of what the genre has to offer.

As long as a song has strong writing, good chord/note progression and a strong sense of energy I usually dont give a damn what genre it is. Good music is good music is good music.

Omg, I heard that song on Friday night with Jonathon Ross (I think), man it was horribly bad.

Come on, by saying that rap is music, youre saying that is you took a recording of a drum beat that repeats and put it to the presidential state of the union adress if music. It's not.

Oh please, grandma, try to not judge different styles of music, you're just making yourself look stupid. I'm sorry, but that wasn't even funny. Good rap is so much about rythm, feeling and lyrics.

[Squee]

...recording of a drum beat that repeats...

*coughWhiteStripescough*

Anyways, I thought I'd say something about rap music. Some of that mainstream stuff is...well...it's really bad. ^^;

However, Linkin Park (one of my favourite bands at the moment) has a lot rapping lyrics. Sometimes, I hear it and I forget that it's rapping entirely; it's just music.

Rapping has this ability to portray some emotions really well (in Linkin Park's case, frustration and anger). Of course, I don't go out, hunting for rap-songs so I can't really make these kind of generalizations. ^^;

I'm sure there's a lot of songs out there that aren't just about anger that happen to have rap in them. ^^

[Stotic]

I wish there were more people to talk to about my music lol. The closest person I have is Scream for god sakes! /cries a river

[Insomnia]

Linkin Park ain't rap/hip hop ...

[Squee]

About half of Linkin Park's songs have rapping in them.

[Xian]

Yeh 1 of their 2 vocalists is basically a rapper, the other guy handles the heavy stuff. (Or so their video's have lead my to believe.)

[Thrice]

Linkin Park might aswell be done with a synthesizer, terrible music, no offence meant, just opinion


Edit: A lot of it is Synthesizer :|
