Can't resist Rap/hiphop when You're high?

[THCforme]

What is it about rap and hip hop when you're high????

I used to predominantly listen to Rock but ever since I started smoking weed I've just started to really really feel rap and hip hop, anything with a good beat really, even when I'm not high. It just speaks to me.

Has anyone else found this and does anybody know any scientific reason behind it???? Is it the beat????

[orangeman]

I dunno but I mostly listen to rap anyways and reggae but dont get me wrong, I'll listen to anything as long as it sounds good.

[OniEhtRedrum781]

I listen to rap even when i'm not high, but it's always good when ur baked. Southern rap's really good when ur drunk too

[pu ekot]

Weed makes people chill, reggae is chill music, rap stole some reggae basics.

[budsmoker]

rap, oldies from the late 50's and 60's, and old school funk are my favorite music

[Acouwaila]

rap disgusts me even more when im high....

why waste ur high time on that meaningless shit

*im fuckin high as shit*

[Funyons]

iv been someone who hates rap but lately when im stoned it sounds pretty dam good..

[Cas]

rap disgusts me even more when im high....

why waste ur high time on that meaningless shit

*im fuckin high as shit*

yeah same here, except i'm not high :(

[. chelsey]

Yeah, for sure! Before I started smoking weed, I hated rap with a passion. But yeah, a lot of the people I smoke with are into rap, so that's what we'd listen to while we smoked, and now I like rap. T.I. especially :)

[pu ekot]

T.I., that's not rap, that's some kid Warner Brothers paid to dress up nice and pretend to be gangster.

[Bodom Children Of]

Trust me i can still resist rap when im high...:thumbsup:

[budsmoker]

T.I., that's not rap, that's some kid Warner Brothers paid to dress up nice and pretend to be gangster.

fuck t.i. that pussy was talking shit on immigrants

[Funyons]

Tech N9ne! bitch

[Skrappie]

Please explain to me how a whole genre of music can be meaningless?
if you think that, then you are closed minded, or just have not had good musical experince.
Trust me, meet enough people, there is a band/group, or just one song for you in every style of music.

[Acouwaila]

dear skrappie,

I doubt your are a hip hop artist but if you are, I did not mean to offend you. Please let me rephrase . A LOT of it is meaningless (i.e. "let your chain hang low. let it wobble to the flo)...yeah the artists prolly have a couple meaningful songs. but those are still annoying too..


oh and the only rap song i like when im high is "big poppa" because of that sexy whistle in the beat lol

[halo]

I listen to some underground rap like immortal technique and jedi mind tricks. The only mainstream stuff i listen to is the old school rap like dre snoop nwa eazy e. beastie boys

[Fengzi]

I listen to a lot of different music, everything from ACDC to Neil Young to Metallica to Bob Marley to Tchaikovsky to..well, you get the idea. Maybe it's just because I'm old but I just don't get rap. I just don't see how it can even be called music. Most of what I've heard is just some very simple beat played over and over again with someone semi-coherently shouting about "fuckin' hos". Maybe you could call it ghetto peotry or something like that but music?

[suhl]

i like it more when im drunk because i can yell the hilarious ass lyrics and its really funny and offensive.
when im high though i tend to prefer actual good music

[kman]

i used to hate rap, still hate most of it, mainstream that is, but ever since i started tokin, wen i hear good beat, like sum old school/underground rap, i just cant help but let my head bob:p :pimp:

[WeedTree's]

Oh man i have to listen to rap when im high. Its a must when im tokin big blunts and shit. Anything with a good beat but they gotta have good rhymes/flow or i dont care for em. When im smokin and listen to rap its hard to stop my head from bouncin and feelin it

I love hip-hop :thumbsup:

[Funyons]

today i got high and started driving blasting rap music...well 2 hours later im lost in the country somehow lol i was just jammin it sounded so dam good i forgot i was drving sometimes

[Satan666]

i like rap only when im high

[JohhnyPotSmoker]

the only rap i enjoy is the "rough hardcore" not that mainstream rap i like the rap thats all about murder and what not that shits cool

[blazed620]

Tech N9ne! bitch

Amen......I think he's the most underrated rapper....he needs more recognition...he's so damn good.

[discombobulated]

well when your high and you got a stereo that owns you know rap is kick ass feeling the bass shake your body feeling the beat you know and yes i am high as fuck as i write this :P

[dankman]

Rap is the new era of MTV, it's the new era of Warner Brothers paying little kids to act like gangsters. Real rap has been around forever, just recently big corporations have been pushing it more than usual. Almost all (if not all) "rap" songs that you hear on MTV or assorted corp radio stations are about 1) some dumb bitch, or 2) something incredibly stupid, ie chain hang low.

[BigMexiCANT]

if you wanna hear some good ass shit go dl some andre nickatina. Hes the best, ive never heard better the way he flows and his beats are hella crazy especially when ur blown as fuck! Get train with no love or my rap world(its trippy in the begging if ur blazed) but yeah i highly reccomend it =D

Yup, it's all about Nickatina. Check the avvy. :pimp: There's nothing like cruising down the street with your buddies and a fat blunt listening to "Smoke Dope and Rap"

A Tribe Called Quest is probably some of my favorite music when I'm gone. I like them anyway, but mostly listen to classic rock when I'm not stonned.

OK you dont like rap but that dosent mean even most is meaningless i dont think any music is meaningless. Hey I could argue the same thing about rock but I dont cause I know we all get something different about music.

[Box215]

Nah man I love listening to ThreeSix Mafia.....I dont really like their whole devil thing but when youre blowed theyre songs are tiiiight

man, if you really listen to the triple 6 you know theyre not serious about the devil shit "ask me if i worship satan, ill send your ass to see him" (know what song thats from? they do it cause it makes people uncomfortable. although not anymore since theyve moved much more towards mainstream. but theres nothing better to listen to when youre high. everyone download now i'm high pt. 3 and listen to it when youre high. i guarentee you will like it, even you haters out there. and smoke if you got it (shit, i could keep going on and on, they have so many great songs about weed that should be listened to when youre blazed.

[Chronicles]

It sounds like most of y'all don't really like rap, you like the beats. A lof of beats can go to any genre, it's all about the song place over it that determines the genre.

As far as rap itself goes, I agree with one that defended rap earlier. Y'all hearin all the wrong artists. Every genre has good and bad artists. Good and bad songs, better or worse. All music is poetry, it's the magic of the sound that relates to your liking that pulls you to it. Obviously there's an alternate effect with some music, lol, but all rap music is not bad. I challange you to pick up CDs from artists like:

Bizzy Bone (solo albums, he has a lil more then 10 out), Dead Prez, Lauryn Hill, Jean Grae, Bone Thugs -n- Harmony (Ressurrection, Art of War), etc. Listen to a different blend of the type pf rap music y'all are complainin about. Saigon, Definately Krayzie Bone(Thug Mentality 1999) Some of these rappers do relate to the message of the volitle side, but i'm specifing songs of other blends that they do incorporate. There's many more worthy of praise artsist, but I ain't gonna keep goin on.

Check it out.

[miraz]

I definetly like non mainstream rap a lot. But everyone should check out GZA. BTW rap is not meaningless, some of it is....the bad MTV shit.

they've killed in a way for me listen to them rappin about killin ppl saves me

from goin out and doin it, on this thread i think those few ppl that said they

hated rap whur ppl who probly grew up in the burb's and got handed anything

they wanted when they whur growin up, but anyway if u want sum good

muzik to kick back to while token listen to kotton mouth kings and eminem

kmk has a really good sound sum rap wit a lil rock in thur to.

[MyMARYJANE]

i like rap. i wouldnt consider it as talented as like say classic rock or anything where people play their own instraments and write usually meaningful lyrics. cept i do like rap a lot. but i agree with other people on here who say its not "real" music. im sure it takes some talent (obv) but just not as much as other things.

[MacWQ33]

I think GOOD rap has a lot more talent than any music. This is just my opinion. "Let you chain hang low" and Lil Jon are NOT rap. Its shitty shit. Its nothing, as far as I'm concerned.

I'm talking about artists like Nas, Jay-Z, Tupac, Biggie, Eminem. Listen to any Eminem song. The lyrics, rhymes, rhyme scheme, flow, and content are very complex. He produces his songs and beats too. These guys are lyrical geniuses. The shit these guys say is real, and happens everyday.

Rock and Roll is cool and all, but a lot of shit sounds the same...just guitars, bass, drums, and sometimes unnecessary screaming, and you don't even know what the fuck they are saying. Most rap beats are so unique they can't be duplicated if you tried. From the choruses, to the bridges, to the flow, change of speed, melody, lyrics, down to the metaphors and similies, it requires more creativity than any other music genre combined! Not real music??!? This is the realest genre of music. No bullshit included. You don't hear to many metaphors in other kinds of music do you? Once again, I mean GOOD rap. A lot of things people consider rap is shit.

[Chronicles]

Point made. I guess to look at it like that, it doesn't take much talent, or as much talent be one demensional as opposed to multiple. I still wouldn't say it's not real music. It is jazz with lyrics. Not much harmony, but it takes more to create a rap verse then a song verse, you have to have twice as many bars, and at times up to three times as much (depends on what songs you compare)
to create a rap verse versus a verse of any other genre. So in some ways it takes less talent, and in some ways it takes more talent. For the right folk, it takes the most talent of all. Some rap artist produce their own beats, write and perform their own songs. So for that type of artist, "the triple threat", s/he's the most talented or versitle/multifaceted arranger of all genres. Rap is real music.

[Box215]

wait wait, has anyone here used pro tools or tried making a beat that's actually somewhat good? that is a true skill in itself, as it does require you to have some musical ability to make beats. sure its not playing an acutal instrument, but it takes a lot of talent nonetheless

[Professor Dan K.]

I have been listening to a lot of rap lately, one of my friends got me hooked on it because he brings cd's everytime we blaze with different shit on it.

jedi mind tricks
immortal technique
wutang clan
ill bill

some other stuff i cant remember but ive downloaded alot of the above mentioned, i gotta say that a lot of rap today is pure shit, that chain hang low being one i hate, i dunno something about rap like that that pisses me off. but dont knock a whole genre of music because there are some shitty songs out there that get a lot of rep. thats like saying ohh i dont like the doors so rock music must suck balls(which nobody would ever say because the doors kick ass)

[Newglory]

I just got into rap 2 summers ago, and when I started, i was acting like some bitchy music snob. Only liking underground rap cuz "mainstream" is to crappy...

then i realised i dont wanna be like all those douchy new wave assholes and disregard anything that grants someones attention....So i now i can proudly say that while high, i Nod my head to Creedance Clearwater Reivvial, and T.I in the same 20 min.

[Newglory]

but dont knock a whole genre of music because there are some shitty songs out there that get a lot of rep. thats like saying ohh i dont like the doors so rock music must suck balls(which nobody would ever say because the doors kick ass)


The doors suck more then a 50 year old dancer from jersey.

wait.....jim Morrison does, he was a douche who pretended he was a "true musical icon" by writing,

"GOD HELP ME GOD HELP ME!"all over some moody journal he held....

wow sorry.

[stoneberg]

i used to hate rap too, but now that I've listened to the Roots while high I'm into them along with Jurrasic 5, A Tribe Called Quest, old Eminem stuff, Jay- z, etc just poetic rap thats not all about money cash hoes

[Uptown]

[quote=Fengzi]I listen to a lot of different music, everything from ACDC to Neil Young to Metallica to Bob Marley to Tchaikovsky to..well, you get the idea.

Yes but at least it's not REGGAETON!! Possibly the worst music ever created, and I'm Spanish. Jerry Garcia is also my fav musician of all time, check out Proof( yeah the guy who was Eminem's hypeman and is now deceased ) he has a pretty damn good cd called SEARCHING FOR JERRY GARCIA

[justinsane]

i dont have a comment about the thread title, well yeah its sweet. but the real reason im typing this, is because the views count was at 666 and that was kinda messin with me, so i just visited, making the count a much holyer number.

[Ol Schwaggy Bastard]

I cant resist it sober, high, drunk, whatever. It's my music.

[JerryGarcia]

I'm not a huge rap fan but I haven't been able to get enough of Enter The Wu-Tang lately. Bring da motha fuckin' ruckus!

[sxyrider39]

Get some Bay area rap like Mac Dre, or some old E40. Such crazy lyrical raps. " The shrooms I consume, it's making me laugh, I'm as high as the eye on a Fing Girrafe." Best rap out there IMO.

[WeekenD TokeR]

I don't really dig most rap or hip-hop. Some of it's pretty mad, like Aussie hip-hop. But I generally listen to music with instruments. Not some gangster pressing buttons then talking over the top. I have broad musical tastes, though, so I'll listen to anything at least once.

One more thing, that argument that everyone thats had a hard life listens to rap, what the fuck was with that? Dude, you wanna hear angry music about killing people to make you feel good, buy some fucking Cannibal Corpse, Suffocation, Obituary, etc. Death metal shit. Or Nick Cave. Or Johnny Cash. Not some douchewad being paid by MTV to look "gangsta". No offence intended.

Enjoy your music people, whatever it may be.

Peace

[GosTo]

listen to Atmosphere when you are high. Now i realize why people who are high listen to these kinds of songs.

so in general

Next time you are high listen to atmosphere and u will see.

You must only watch mtv, I guess. there's way more to hip hop than that, and if I want to bob my head, relax a little and have a good time, then fuck no I'm not listening to death metal. If I want great playful lyricism, FUCK NO I'm not listening to death metal! I dislike most bling rap, but I appreciate and understand where it's coming from. There's way more to hip hop than the rappers you and your sister watch on mtv.

[LimpBizkitRMV04]

THCforme that is also the case for me i listened to just rock before i started smoking and once i did i started to like rap wayyy better then rock

[WeekenD TokeR]

I don't really watch TV at all. And if you'd re-read my post then you'd see that I wasn't telling you to listen to death metal when high. I don't, and don't plan on starting to. And I also never said I dislike all rap. There is good rap, it's just that the majority of hip-hop and rap doesn't appeal to my musical tastes. Read my post again and cut the hate.

[Iggmasta]

Point made. I guess to look at it like that, it doesn't take much talent, or as much talent be one demensional as opposed to multiple. \

I see where your coming from but you are forgetting to be a good rapper ( good as in critically aclaimed rather than bubblegum commercial sucess) it takes just as much if not more talent then to be a good rocker or good country music singer. This is because that one dimension that rappers do is so much deeper then anything "multidemensional" artists do. Just look at the lyris style and delivery of a Nas, Rakim, Tupac, Biggie, or Saigon compared to a Fall Out Boy, Tim Mcgraw or Guns and Roses. BTW don't get me wrong I like pre emo rock as well, I just happen to like rap more. Happy Token:rasta:

[mrboom]

i love listening to bone thugs or cypress hill when im high

Yes.

I got into Hip hop a year ago, when I was stoned out of my mind, and then taught myself to make it.

Here is my beats.


www.myspace.com/resinate916

I also make my beats stoned too!!!!


I also just want to say that Underground Hip Hop has changed my life.


I am just a waaaayyy more chill person.

I don't think anyone can describe what happens when you're baked and you turn on some grade A undergorund hip hop, listening to every word he says, bobbing your head to the beat.......VIBING.


It's the best. And because of it, I don't listen to ANY other type of music, because it's not as satisfying as hip hop.

[CheebaMan]

Listen to some Bone Thugs n some Cypress Hill they got some bomb ass weed songs

[Ol Schwaggy Bastard]

No hate, it's too bad we can't type tones of voice. It was the "some gangster pressing buttons and talking over it" that got to me first, implying that hip hop takes no skill, and categorizing it all as the same thing...the second thing that bugged me was
"One more thing, that argument that everyone thats had a hard life listens to rap, what the fuck was with that? Dude, you wanna hear angry music about killing people to make you feel good, buy some fucking Cannibal Corpse, Suffocation, Obituary, etc. Death metal shit. Or Nick Cave. Or Johnny Cash. Not some douchewad being paid by MTV to look "gangsta". No offence intended."
It just read as kinda condescending and musically elitist to me, sorry if I misread it.
Hip hops not for everybody, neither is death metal, and neither one is better than the other, and neither one necessarily takes more or less skill.

No hate intended.

Peace.

[gill145]

Don't limit yourself to one genre of music. That would be a shame.

For me, I have gone through stages of music, just as I got through my life.

When I was young 10-14 years old, I listened to alot of rap (I don't believe rap exists anymore. To me, rap was Tupac, Snoop, Biggie, Krazie Bone, Big L, early Eminem, etc. What people call rap today is not rap, its shit, and it's Lil Jon, T.I. and Puff Daddy, or whatever he calls himself now, Diddy I think.) And I listened to it cause thats the kind of kid I was, I lived on an Island in Southeast Alaska, and all my friends listened to the same music, it was normal to me.

Then I moved to the more mainland area of Alaska when I was 14, to the Anchorage/Valley area, and I made new friends, who all listened to rock primarily. Rock to us was Alice In Chains, A Perfect Circle, Tool, Pearl Jam, Ween, and classic rock like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Tom Petty, Deep Purple, Doors, etc.

But about 2 years ago I moved out of the house, and started being ME. Listening to what I think is cool, and started smoking herb.

This brings me to what I believe is good music today (in no specific order, and not in full):

Hip-Hop:
Jedi Mind Tricks, cLOUDDEAD, Beastie Boys, Swollen Members, Matisyahu, Living Legends, Atmoshpere, Sage Francis, Jurassic 5, Afrika Bambataa, Rakim, Wu-Tang, Tupac, Snoop, Digable Planets, A Tribe Called Quest, MF Doom, Gnarls Barkley, The Roots, Nas, Common, Jay-Z, Erykah Badu, etc.

Rock:
Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, Tool, A Prefect Circle, The Beatles, Beck, Ween, Bob Dylan, Nine Inch Nails, Jack Johnson, Dandy Warhols, Pixies, Queens of the Stone Age, The cure, Stone Temple Pilots, 311, NOfx, The Doors, Rage Against The Machine, Wilco, Blind Melon, etc.

I can easily smoke while jamming to any of these bands.

Although I do prefer Hip-hop when high.
