that's why i started i like hearing others opinions too...

You probably dont remember the 50 cent post... But i went off because i cant stand rap; in general. I have an extremely wide vary of music that ill listen to. Music is very important to me, and i respect it alot. Ill listen to anything from Ray Charles to No Innocent Victim. But rap is something i can NOT listen to, becuase it is NOT music. There are very few artists that i can listen to. One of them Being the Black Eyed Peas. They get a bad rep and some of their songs do **** ***, because they turn into pop music. But you know what? Your other rap songs dont involve musical instruments in the song like theirs do. I have respect for them because they play their own instruments and actually make their own music. All this other shit is some guy on a keyboard, trying beats until he likes one, then he makes "a song". Most the time someone will make the beat, someone else will sing it. So its not your "music"; if you call it that. It isnt music. Not because i dont like it; but because it really isnt. Its noise. If you really think about it, it doesnt have a musical aspect. Oh and the singing, what singing? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif Some of the songs i hear on mtv i really have to laugh at. Grown men singing like little *****es is now cool. Why dont they just cut their penis of while theyre at it? They dont sing, they talk. And occasinally change pitch... Maybe. And the reason it is so big, is because it is so mainstream and all the highschool and middle school age kids buy into it because they see them with all this bling and stuff and want to be like that. So they start changing the way they act and what they wear and what they listen to. Just because its cool. To the few people who actually like rap, good okay, whatever. But dont walk around like your some homie from the south side when you still live with your **** parents. Your acting like something you not, to try and be cool. And you dont realize how stupid you look to those of us who actually have a trace of intelligence. I was talking to this one freshman at my high school the other day. Somehow somone said something about rap, because she was listening to mainstream shit. She looked at me and said "i bet you listen to the gay rock shit right?" When she doesnt understand, if it wasent for rock, rap wouldnt have started. Blues turned into r&b, blues and r&b started rock, and rock started rap. People really just dont understand anything, and it frustrates me to know that people are that stupid. Go ahead and flame me now.

Seems like you must have only heard post-2002 mainstream rap (Lil Jon, 50, Game, Big Tymers, etc...) Do yourself a favor and open yourself up to some late 80's and 90's "mainstream" rap. Ex: KRS-one, A Tribe Called Quest, Dead Prez, 2pac, early Ice Cube, etc..

That alone says that you cant be tooo into music like you state you are.

#2 Listen to some twista songs...and I bet you can even talk as fast as he can rap, even if you practiced A FEW LINES over and over and over...more less be able to sing a whole song. Some rap artists sing complete songs, or albums faster than you can even talk......that doesnt require some kind of talent?? I THINK SO!!
