ur the epitamy of a deuschbag who knows nothing about a topic and jus says stuff without thinking. let me guess what u listen to stupid radio rock thats always on the radio. there is mainstream rap wich is bad and jus gives a bad name to rap and hip-hop. download some songs. any talib kweli, tribe called quest, mos def, the roots, etc. and dont jus "hear" but LISTEN and u will see how it is an art and such a talent that not any one person can do. listen to the beats the rhyme the flow the way the rhymes and flow go with the beats. its a true art and gives out such a strong message. you must learn to respect there talent cuz its ana amzing thing.

yeah ecto, u must be pretty closed minded......... like all music, there some Thats real Music, and some that are just trying to sell records. Don't listen to one song and decide that the whole gene of music sucks, i could name an artist in any gene of music with no talent that gives that gene a bad name...

No, ive listened to every rap i can. In my younger days i used to not mind it. But listen to what they right about. Its all worthless. I like some hip hop, like outkast and common and the roots, they all have good instremental thing in their music. I also like the beastie boys. They dont have to rap about raping chiicks and how much money they have and what cars they drive.haha strong message. rap.. no.. RETARDED. And as for liking rock bands on the radio, ahha bullshit, radio is horrible. I might go as far to say pop rcok bands may be just as bad as rap....No but very close

its spelled douche bag by the way, unless your from a different country, than im wrong.

Im not closed minded.. I Love music, i give everything a chance, but rap is just horrible music. I have a beat machine on my computer that can make rap beats so its not too complicated.

What else needs to be said that everyone else hasnt told you, oh yeah your mom's pussy tastes grrrrrrrrreat!

Your own fault, if all you can name are Outkast, The Roots, Common, n Beastie Boys which ARE still mainstream, you maam are a dickhead. How about actually researching good lyricists instead of conveying your natural tendencies of jack-assery to other peers who respect all music. Yeah, no shit, any lil retard can have fruity loops and claim they make a rap beat, not like its gonna be at all infectious. Your probably too narrow minded to see otherwise though, so bigot away into your own miserable cycle of ignorant cynicism.

nice backing up rap. but! common and the roots ARE NOT mainstream..the roots album Illadelph Halflife is one of the best hip hop albums ever and common is one of the best hip hop rappers there ever was..i mean yea his songs out now r on the radio but look at his older shit. hes amazing if u knew the hip-hop community ud kno that.

MF DOOM, Tech N9ne, Tonedeff, Saigon, etc. are underground
Common n Roots have had mainstream recognition n exposure for years already [even overseas], mainstream doesnt mean just sellin units like that flake 50, underground isnt underground cuz it comes out on MTV2, if you knew anything about anything you wouldnt be opening your mouth son

No doubt about it, mainstream rap today sucks Young Jeezy once said "Patty cake, patty cake, microwave..." that rhyme is downright pathetic. But if you start to look a little deep at old school shit like pac, biggie, jay z, nas, mobb deep you'll see there is amazing talent with their multi syllable rhymes and just overall finess. Anyone can rap like young jeezy and 50 cent, but look a little deeper and you realize the complex production and lyrics that used to be what rap was all about.

Thank you, my point exactly...I cant stand the new artists, well, most of them. This is why I only listen to "old school rap". I like your list, but perhaps I could add Big Punisher. How a seven hundred pound man managed to control his breath and rap like that, amazing, absolutely amazing. Big Punisher - Still Not A Player. Check it out.

Being a rapper myself, I do find that kind of offensive. The others here are right: music needs to be judged based more on individual skill versus stereotypes about the entire genre of rap music itself. There are some artists in the rap world I absolutely cannot stand because of their lack of skill and only continuing to make music just to sell records (50 Cent for example.. he used to be decent but now is too commercial.. no diss to Shady though! lol).

As for me, I do it just because I like to and because I enjoy true skill and talent (regardless of whether or not people think I have talent or not lol). Anyways, that ends my rant.

Some of my favorite artists include:
Jay-Z
Tupac
Eminem
Ludacris
D12 (RIP Proof...)
Lloyd Banks
Xzibit

Go to a rap concert and tell me that's not music. Are you saying that world music, with simply drums beating isn't expression of music as well? Not all music is made to be conceptual art, and musical masterpieces and isn't a box-like definition. Some music is simply made to dance, get lifted, jump up and down. Music is boundless, as long as you have a beat, you are expressing yourself musically.

if you hate rap is b/c you haven't been through no struggle. people like what they can relate to, and if you're listening to something you don't relate to at least give effort for those who did something some of us cant do. Again theres rap out there that fucks it up for rest of us by using simple minded pimp/hoes/cash/ lyrics and thats why i dont listen to radio. Strickly underground and nothing but the deep shit.

There's Rap and Hip Hop, and then there's the Game. True rap artists don't play the Game, they live beats and life and make up for bling with science and knowledge. That krazy drunk stuff is just shit, Master P and all that. 50 cent had a decent debut but whoah does his new stuff suck. MF Doom is the new prince of hip-hop. And Jay-z is not the king, he's like the Godfather of the Game. MF Doom.....mmm FOod???? Damn that shit is hot. Of course I live in the corn rows, like the plant, and i don't listen to much anymore cuz if i wanted to hear good hip hop i would have to go search thru piles of shit to find a few jewels like aceyalone....MF Doom...man...that guy is sooooogooooodd im gonna spin some right now peace

Mainstream rap can suck it don't bother me, id rather listen to the underground guys who make MUCH better music but get hardly any airplay just so all the little kids can't ruin them.

Anything you hear on the radio nowdays basically is for people who don't want to learn, or have insight. That includes all genres (rock, rap, punk, r&b). Stop listening to the radio, and start investigating music, and seeing what YOU like. The radio is for people who want to be popular in high school, and people who like to dance. Good Rap exists mostly outside of mainstream rap. If you want to hear good rap, check out these guys:

Atmosphere, Jedi Mind Tricks, KRS-One, Rakim, Afrika Bambataa, Run DMC, Biz Markie, Chubb Rock, Haiku d'etat, Wu-Tang, The Roots, Digable Planets, MF Doom, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, (2pac, Biggie, Big L, Big Pun, &; the ODB RIP), Nas, The Artifacts, Outkast, Pharoahe Monch &; Prince Po, Common, Jeru the Damaja, Afu-Ra, Gangstarr, J-Live, Busta Rhymes, The Fugees, Redman, Madlib, Xecutioners, Peanut Butter Wolf, Beastie Boys, and Jay-Z, Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, Bahamadia, Matisyahu, Yellow Man, and, that's about it for good rap now-days, forgive me if i forgot some importnat people, but I'm just pulling this out of my head real fast.

all music has seen a general decrease in quality over the years the same way tv shows, movies, and video games have.. naturally, people run out of ideas..

Does anybody else think this? Anyone can rap. Producers just give people beats and the throw in gay unmeaniful lyrics of just pure shit.

i totally agree.:thumbsup:

Wow. This thread's had even more flaming and bashing than I'd expected it to. While I don't agree that rap sucks, I do sympathize with the author's view. It's easy to feel like most of it is crap, and I definitely grind my teeth whenever I hear any of the stuff that makes it to the radio.

As for the flamers...
You know, doesn't it ever feel like hatespeech just -belongs- on a pot forum? I mean after all, everyone who smokes it gets all angry and tense, and feels emotions of disdain and exclusion for their fellow man...

man, why cant you accept all music and enjoy each individual music for its different qualities instead of being a hater. i love rap, i was raised on rap, but i dont like mainstream rap. same with any other mainstream music, its all prettied up and isnt real. i personally enjoy mozart and jimi hendrix and ICP and tupac and everything in between. dont hear the noise, LISTEN to dem boyz

Can't say I care much for rap. For some reason, I like singing more than talking or yelling, at least when it comes to music. But no one forces me to listen to rap...so I don't. Just an individual preference though; there is no 'right' or 'wrong' about music and styles and genres.

just to say, i agree with the veiws as mentioned above, but i feel like punching a hole in my dry-wall for the fact that no-one has mentioned dr.dre. he is an amazing lyricist that makes his own rhymes, beats, and rapps with the best of them (eminem, snoop dogg, ect.) if you smoke weed you NEED to listen to THIS ALBUM:

And by the way, this isn't just fake shit, this music can be compared to classical in some aspects, i mean the instrumentals in almost every song will blow your mind as well as the "mastermind-composed" lyrics, that relate to weed and life. listen to this and then TRY and tell me stoners shouldn't listen to rap, fuck...

there are some good lyricists in rap but there are many more bad. anyone who is black and has connections can do it. take a look at ninety percent of rappers out there. i mean they dont deserve a record deal and get one and people buy tons of their shit when the lyrics are totally shitty and there is nothing to it but a lot of bass. hell anyone who is white and has connections can do it take a look at lil wyte

dre is a shit rapper.:thumbsup:
