Thats partly a dichotomy between what becomes popular, played often, and heard sort of passively - you could get that sense I'd grant you. Popular music within a given genre is often like that; rap listened to across its spectrum is very different and not categorically simple.

I like to hear 80s music.
Erasure, Pet Shop Boys, New Order, A-ha...

I like things that have a constant wall of sound... Deftones and Chevelle are good for that. March of the Pigs by NIN always gets me speeding too.

Rap is not music. Childish, pretentious rhyming with sampling and drum machines and your posse grunting ebonics in the background is not music.

There is no lack of understanding involved. Quite the contrary. I am like the little kid in the fable The Emperor's New Clothes. Being pure of mind and spirit, I see that rap is not the gilded robes but is a figment of mass hypnosis of those who were afraid to criticize it for it's lack of recognizable talent

Dunno if I'd go that far, I'm sure it takes some talent to rhyme that fast. That still doesn't change the fact that I think it sucks though, no different than the crappy pop stars who don't play instruments. But to each his own.

I think that's a fair statement. Thinking something sucks is an expression of a subjective assessment. Saying something "isn't music" assumes one can be the arbiter of truth on what is a largely subjective matter.

And you are absolutely right "to each his own."

I have a nice drive in WV coming up and this thread reminded me I have to put together music for the drive. I don't want to be hunting for Hanson or the Bieb on my winding drive.

i've been listening to the same cd for about a week now, almost at the point where i'm tired of it lol

anyone know where you can download mixes of youtube "legally" ... i found a site but only lets you go 20 min max

Drakonis GTR · 06-27-2014, 01:30 PM

Rap doesn't bother me too much, but I do have a couple of rules regarding it; The artist has to rhyme, and rhyme well. Half-assed rhyming is just talking to a beat, which any moron can do. They also have to flow with the music. If they can't do that, they why the hell are they even rapping in the first place.

Now for anyone here that may be more into Metal, might I recommend some Sabaton?
