Music Finally, an entire forum devoted to talking about Doktor Avalanche, the drum machine for the Sisters of Mercy. You can talk about other bands, or other members of that band, too, if you want to be UNCOOL.

Rap

Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : rap


Rofl.

Guess what this topic is about? Rap. Hip-Hop if you want too. The reason I am posting this, is to ask the question: Why do alot of people hate Rap? I like rap, I've never understood exactly why so many people who are into Metal, hate rap, and vice versa? (I'm generalizing. I like metal too, so I know there are exceptions.)

I don't like rap neccesarily because it's cool, or because it's pack-loaded with cursing, or it talks about filling your carnal desires to levels that would make LeVay sick. I like it it because it's got a good beat, some of it has interesting concepts, and it's a different culture (Stereotyping again). Yet, I see tons of people sighting a few songs, and labeling rap as degrading to women, and hateful. I blame MTV for that. But, why? Why is rap so wrong in some people's eyes?

Well, to me, it's just that I mostly listen to songs with a deep meaning, which means that I do enjoy some rap songs, particularly Eminem's Like Toy Soldiers.
But most songs, just, don't have a deep enough meaning for me.
But, following this standard, I hate punk music all the more.

There is already a thread dedicated to "rap" music.

Icarian why don't you try actually looking with your eyes, instead of using the search strings?

It took me 35 seconds to locate the thread.

This is the 2nd or 3rd time we have had this conversation.

I just love repeating myself.

Not really.

*sigh*
