Yes, like I said before, Soulja Boy has given the 'Hip Hop' genre a terrible name, and its almost a laughing stock now. There will always be true, real, gritty hip hop though, the stuff I like. Not rapping about his new Bathin' Apes XD

See, no offence, this is the attitude that kinda bugs me. It goes to personal opinion, but calling it pointless and dumb is a bit OTT I think. I'm not into much rock at all, but I never see it as pointless or dumb, it's just not my thing, thats it. I'm not gonna spout how much I hate it, because I don't, some is actually ok, it's just not my favourite genre.

I don't tend to listen any hip hop these days.

I'd rather listen to old school hip hop. Guys like Whodini, Run-DMC, Sugarhill Gang, Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, Kurtis Blow, Newcleus, the Fat Boys, Man Parrish and many others.

I gotta say 90% of the people who claim to hate rap are computer nerds and people who think they are like the smartest people in the world and the people who claim rap is pointless and stupid CLEARLY HAVE NEVER LISTENED TO RAP. People like Tupac, Common, Talib Kwali, Even Kanye tell STORIES then you have the Gangsta rap with like Ice cube, then you have Old school like N.W.A/Public Enemy, etc... Then you have the Snap music which is gay which consist of dance songs only which are only good for the beats and the lyrics suck...but OVER ALL for someone to sit here and claim that Rappers are stupid, or rap in general sucks are COMPLETE MORONS because you have to listen to the lyrics...theres more then Guns and Girls to rap... The word play, the metaphors and etc... is what really makes rap.... and regardless what they are talkin about Rap is just another form of Poetry....and the people who argue with that are stupid



EDIT:Oh and if you dont listen to Hip-Hip because you have a VALID REASON, like you just cant get into it, or its just not your style thats cool, but if you just sit here and say things without even trying to listen to MORE THEN 1 SONG, then dont post...

I completely agree with your point, though I'll refrain from the name calling XD. It does slightly get my goat when people instantly dismiss a genre of music without giving it the time of day, and instantly claiming its rubbish.

Now. I'm not a fan, but some (Linking Park, Eminem, Black Eyed Pea's) Do raps, which have a meaning to them...
And I have listned to all the other rap... because like 95% of my year go around saying
'BRAP! I'm a gangsta from da ghetto' and then start singing rap music. Or playing it on their phones very loudly. So I know what it is like, and I really don't see any meaning to half of it. You know like:
'I got new shoes,
wore them in my shiny car
you can't afford them
'cause i'm da bomb
I shot dis guy
from ma shiny car
he died
then I got laid
by a prostitute
for £50 bucks'

You know that? Well yeah.. thats the type of stuff the really digs under my skin!

And SSJ_Joe? Well... what a stupid post. How do you know? Do you know every person who dosn't like rap? And do you watch them at their home? And stalk them? Well? How do you know? I'm not a nerd and I hate rap! I don't think I know everything! So your the retard and the moron her pal! So, you say we are streyotyping you? Well guess what? you just steryotyped everyone who isn't like
'BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP' Whenever they move! So, you know? You have no brains, and you think your smarter than everyone else, just by saying that!
Oh are you gonna call me a goth? Tease me? Oh well! I DEALT WITH 8 YEARS OF BEING TEASED? WANNA KNOW WHY? I DON'T LIKE RAP! I GOT BEAT UP FOR NOT LIKING RAP!

I completely understand your point, but again you seem to be categorizing Hip Hop into 1 box, where actually there are plenty of different types of rap/hip hop. I'm sorry but generalising really does get me annoyed. The stuff you probably here at school from the chavs is more british rap, which myself Im not a big fan of. I know about all the 'Braaaap Braaaap!' stuff which does get annoying, and probably stuff like Soulja Boy and 50 cent. Thats the sort of stuff gives this genre a bad name. But the hip hop I listen to is far more positive. Stuff from incredible artists like Kanye West, Common, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Fort Minor, I can go on..... some of their lyrics are really deep and very very meaningful, Kanye West especially, talking about the slave trade in Sierra Leonne, and plenty of other examples like that. I won't divulge.

Just trying to make sure people don't categorise all hip hop together, as its a much more well spread genre than people make it out to be.

I reiterate, if your looking to get into hip hop, don't necessarily go for 50 Cent or G-Unit. There are far better examples of deep, meaningful hip hop. Dare I say it, a lot of hip hop is about love!

EDIT: How could I forget Lupe Fiasco or Pharrell Williams? Just another 2 examples of meaningful Hip Hop.

Okay, I see this possibly turning into a flame war. So everyone cool your jets and relax.

I love Hip-Hop. I love the music with meaningful lyrics and I love the songs that are meant to be just fun. Who says music has to have a meaning to be good? I've never understood that argument. Music is supposed to incite an emotion in you. Whether it be to get you pumped up before a game, to relax you after a stressful day, or if you just feel like dancing. My iPod is full of music of all varieties. I don't like all hip-hop and rap, but I enjoy most of it. So just get over the fact that "music has to have meaning." Music has been a form of entertainment and / or expression. It doesn't have to be both.

Aaahhh.. Okay, I lost my cool.
BUT what you must consider is that SSJ_Joe was putting everyone who dosn't like hip-hop into one box. He arrived with a percentage from where? His head, he is putting all us people who dislike all that (Crappy) hip-hop and stuff into a box, not really thinking about it. I'm not saying all the music is bad. Read my post again, the top! I said that I know that some of the music is great! But most IMO isn't. Get it?

I don't want a flaming war.. but I think SSJ_Joe was trying to start one, calling us all morons for not liking Rap and all that stuff was just begging to be shouted at, so I gave him what he was begging for, he wants to make people angry? He will be the one being shouted at.

Get my point? At all? Anyone?
Or are you gonna say i'm still being stupid and not listen to my point at all because you like rap and Hip-Hop and all that...
I'm not saying anyone will.. but I get a feeling someone will just have to say something to get me angry again.
BUT I still want my point to get across to everyone, and people to actually READ all of my post before saying i'm putting all your music in one box or whatever. If anyone is gonna reply to my post
READ THE WHOLE POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The problem is what you see on T.V. and hear on the radio is "gangsta rap" (yes, this is the actual name). There are a lot of artist out there that just rap about everyday life and not how they shot up some guy. Also, for most raps, its the beat that makes the song and not the lyrics.
I agree of what you said there, qft! I love to listen to rap/hip-hop. I usually will listen to old school too. Like Run DMC, LL Cool J, The Sugarhill Gang, Whodini, Kurtis Blow, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, Salt N' Pepa, etc. But also I will listen to Kanye West, Jay-Z, Missy Elliott, Common, Nas, P. Diddy, Biggie, Tupac, Freeway, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Lupe Fisaco, Pharrell Williams, Ludacris, Ja Rule, etc...

Yes most people will only hear the mainstream. Which it is about shooting someone, money, cars, and things like that. Some rappers are like that(Soulja Boy, i.e.). But other rappers rap about meaningful stuff(Lupe, Kanye, Jay-Z, Common, the old school rappers I metioned). Now I like rap/hip-hop like that.

Thats the thing with me. I can't get into rap because I can't find any rap OTHER than the main stream rap. I like meaningful songs. I don't just turn down rap because I like rock or whatever... I turn stuff down after I listen to it.

So yeah, get my point, if they played the meaningful raps then I would most likley be a fan, but all I hear about shooting people, and girls, like, all about getting some smexy time...

So ya... get my point? That I don't mean all rap is like the main stream, or 'gangsta rap' as it were, is what all rap is like. I know for a fact that not all rap is about all the stuff say... solja boy sings about, I know that some of it is about meaningful stuff. But I only see the solja boy genre... so, yeah. Don't get me wrong, if I saw more meaningful rap, I would be all for it ;)

See... I like Taking Back Sunday because it has a meaning! Saying that, I also like stupid funny songs like:
Yeah Toast
Do You Like Waffles?
Date Rape
I Like My Sitar

You know, that sort of funny stuff...

I present to you, real hip hop! Probably 3 of the best rappers in the game right now. Right now real hip hop is losing the war to commercial hip-pop, but it's always refreshing to know that there are still real hip hop artists dropping songs like this.

None of that Soulja Boy, Young Joc, G-Unit rubbish. This is your real, gritty, true to life hip hop.

Another amazing example.
