Rap is a form of expression and just because it may not apeal does not mean it is crap. In matter of fact, many words are very profound and one should stay open minded to the most profound way of expression. Did you like the music of your parents ? Most likely not as a teenager. What about later on and, how to rappers like your music of the 60ths and 70ths ? Be - and stay open minded and you will discover all sorts of Marvells not only in RAP but in different cultural approaches. Music is a mans (womans) soul and just because not all souls are shining does not mean that they are not brilliant and have feelings to be expressed... Bernard Music has a melody. Rap is not music. If you want to present the idea that it is rudimentary poetry for the uneducated, I can accept that. But, it CLEARLY is not music. you're assuming all rappers are uneducated...well let me educate you for a second. Chuck D(one of the members of Public Enemy #1) got his degree in Graphic design from Adelphi University Common(Formely Common Sense) Studied Business at Florida University David Banner has a Bachelor's in business from Southern University and a Masters in Education from the University of Maryland... I can name about 20+ more rappers that all went college not the least of which also included Kanye West I didn't say the rappers are uneducated. Indeed, they are smart to reap rewards from such little effort. In general (not all) of the buyers of that crap are the uneducated. |

Decades from now, rap will be looked back on as a larger music industry hoax, than Milli Vanilli.

Back in the day a blew the speakers out in my van, cranking up the Eric Clapton, Doobie Brothers, etc. The sound systems are a bit better these days, kids be crankin' what they like, just like I did. 
That will ALWAYS be true. That is how most become initially exposed to 'music'. However, only some will grow & explore beyond what the music executives shove down their throats, but most will willingly gobble up the commercial garbage forever. |

for the arrogant and ignorant..let me "school" ya ..ghetto enough for ya? hahahah DEFINITION:The culture of hip-hop has been the source of dozens of words and expressions in American English, of which rap is one of the most familiar. The word is probably a development ultimately of rap meaning "to hit." It shows up in the early 1900s in the extended meaning "to express orally," as used by so notable a figure as Winston Churchill in 1933. Over the next few decades it came to mean "to discuss or debate informally," a meaning that was well established in the African-American community by the late 1960s. A decade later the word was applied to an evolving style of music characterized by, among other things, beat-driven rhymes of an often improvisatory nature. The slang that is integral to the lyrics of rap continues to be a source of borrowings into colloquial American English; recent examples include chill, meaning "to calm down," and dis, meaning "to show disrespect to." These are but the latest examples in a long series of such borrowings from Black English stretching back a century or more, many of them directly from popular music lyrics or from musicians' lingo. ---sounds like music to me. It may look that way to people who don't know better, but since there is no melody, it isn't. Instead, it is rudimentary, often featuring a simplistic rhythm using eubonic utterances and a monotonous common beat. At BEST it could be considered a common urban form of simplistic poetry. But, that is being extremely generous. Obviously, one would be better served by investigating the works of real poets with linguistic talent. |

That's how I stroll through the park all the time! It's my favorite outfit...topless, cargo khaki's, and heels... Would you like to meet to go to the park ? 
It's a little chilly up here for that...I'd have to make sure I was wearing my fleece pasties... Then, we can go at night, because the headlights will be on !
