even though I don't like any rap, I do agree with you that there are talented rap artists (mainly back in the day).

rap just never did anything for me because most of what I've heard is the artist picks one beat, then just plays it and talks till the end, no change or anything.

Yeah, i've been into only rock for a while, I just think I've gotten used to it from listening way too much, gotta always have new music to listen to.

Stop paying attention to commercials.

My friends and i were talking about this the other day. The problem with rap nowadays is that its become so mind-numbed that a man can yell out his name(Mike Jones) or say 8 simple repeated sayings(Lil Jon) and become the richest, most sensational thing to hit the music scene because its "new" to us.

Listen to what i call "smart rap" and a lot of people might like it. Immortal Technique is a good one along with Mos Def. Also listen to rappers with a good beat and that are fresh. I know theres a lot of resentment towards Kanye West right now, but his music is VERY good. Just listening to an intelligent guy such as him or Pharoe Monche is a relief. But none of this "throw it up, shoot em up, do coke, and fuck hoes then kill them. It's outdated and not to mention stupid.

Just look at new rap of today as the disco of yesterday.

i love rap too...some of rap today does suck, ill aggree with you on that, but my fav is bone thugs and harmony, they are the shit

and i hate the rap they use on commercials

disco sucks, rap doesnt even compare

o yeah i forgot about immortal technique richieguy, i just heard about him the other day and i love it

As much as i'm not in to rap anymore I have to disagree, try reading the lyrics along to about %80 of Tupac's songs.

Anyway, I don't watch that much TV. And when I do watch TV I always hit the mute button when the commercials come on. I suggest everyone else does too.

yeh theres good rap, but everything you hear without asking to is going to be shit now, fuck 50 cent and all the other fake american cunts.
