All ive seen in this subject is Green day, and rock, mostly. I am one of the only people i know that likes rap. So does anyone like rap?
If you dont, dont say nothing

I used to love rap back in the day. Now or day's it's begining to turn into pure trash.

Before Eminem everything was great but now everything seem's to be about S**, Money and Drugs which can cause many problems in real life.

I hate rap.

Only thing that I would listen to that is rap, is the underground stuff. For example: Deltron.

umm. iguess its similar to hip-hop.... chingy, ciara LL cool J, T.I, 50cent, snoopdogg..juvinile,fat joe, Jay-Z ,ect....

Bleh. I cant stand rap.....at all. But my brother has a ton of rap.

Sometimes I get sudden urges to listen to R'n'B and Urban music like 50 Cent, Mario and 2pac im not a great fan but things like Akon - Locked up and Lonely are things I like

like i said, if ya dont like it please dont say nothing.anyway,I agree with crosman, its just about money and hoochies now. Old school rap is the best (in my opinion)

Bone Thugs n' harmony
2-Pac
Biggie Smalls a.k.a. Notorious BIG
The Game (check out his song where he is dissin G-Unit,its cool)

Well ok then, I'm following your instructions by posting. Seriously though, that's horrid English.

I don't like rap. I don't like today's rap, and I don't like "old-school" rap. Honestly, rap just doesn't appeal to my ears. Really that's all it is. I prefer rock.

Of course, I don't judge people on what kind of music they listen to.

Rock is to jumbled and just annoying for me. If you like it thats fine with me, thats yer opinion. Also, let me fix my horrid english. If you dont like rap please dont post in this thread, put any pictures, and do not talk about it thank you! :x happy?

I am glad I'm not the only person that does like rap. I am a huge fan of rap. Fat Joe Pitbull Remy.

I used to be big Rap Hip-Hop fan till they started Rapping about "the window, to the wall, till the sweat drops of my..." that was it for me, but i still turn on the radio station ocasionally to see whats 'hot' at the moment. Today's rappers that are out today i like Eminem and the way he can rhyme some of the words the way he can. Ludacris again same reason. Not that many Rap songs out there that can tell a good story, am getting tired of hearing about all there purchases.

But i do miss the day's of Biggie and Tupac those were two great story tellers.

i like

luda luda
chingy
st lunatics
nelly
mike jones
lil scrappy
ying yang twins

LL Cool J
Ciara
Pretty Ricky

and thats all

OMG! there are so many people who like greenday or simple plan or bands like that and say their lyrics mean sumthing but rap artist dont just wake up one morning and say o yer lets rap about nothing important. Whereas if you listen to their lyrics they all mean something.
Im not just a rap fan im always into hip hop and r'n'b. so it nice to know theres other people on this site who like rap (no offence to anyone that doesnt)

Boo

Yeah Newbie, this is necromancy, though I suppose it might have added something to th conversation. I dunno, I'm not a mod so I wouldn't know if this should be locked.

If not, I used to like rap. But that was when I was a try-hard to be popular kid. Some rap is great, but others are just for pretentious fools who are trying to be cool. I'm not just rap-prejudiced though. I mostly don't like your new sort of rock bands, Green Day and The Killers for example. I think they're pretty bad too. Nowadays I prefer listening to bands like The Beatles, U2, Nirvana (I know, Nirvana's pretty different to the others).

And I never said that I hated Rap music. I said, like some others, that only old school rap is good. Pretty good.

I Like Rap 2. A Lot.
My Favorite Artists are:
T.I.
Cassidy
Juelez Santana

Yeah, I've been a fan of rap for years now, however, R&B is starting to take over, and I'm liking alot of it now.

I hope I don't get flamed for this; but I don't like rap. I did like it when I was one of those "ZOMG I R NOW TEENAGER *does drugs now*" kind of person. I do listen to a few 'old' rap songs once in a while; but other then that, I can't stand rap. I like rock (Not Greenday and all those emo bands) more. I'm not saying I hate rap, I just prefer not to listen to it.

I hate rap also. Some of the old school can be good. But modern rap sucks. The lyrics are generally nothing to be proud of, and there is nothing about it that impresses me one bit.

I don't think there is anything about "professional rappers", literally, that should, or in my case, is an oxymoron.

I'm getting sick and tired of how you rappers hate your family, and life in general. :roll:

I despise modern rap, and I refuse to listen to it.

EDIT: stuff like Vanilla Ice or MC Hammer is generally okay.

Finally a thread about Rap! I love rap, my fave artists are:

Tupac Shakur
50 Cent
Biggie Smalls a.k.a notorius BIG
Dr.Dre
Eminem
Jay Z
Shaggy and Kanye West, I know he's more of a Hip-Hop guy but I like his songs.

I hate rap personally. In my opinion, when they named the genre, they should have put a c on the front of the word. Also, they all sing about is about how much they hate their families or how much pot they supposedly smoked in my humble opinion or how many people they supposedly shot. I don't care if you came from the 'streets', most of us have one in front of our houses for crying out loud, it doesn't make the person any better if they get paid for talking into a mic about utter crap and sell it and make millions off utter crap.
Rant over, get back to the subject.

Some rap is good (i.e. DangerDoom and a couple of others). What I don't like (and what Eswin was ranting about) was gangster rap. There is absolutely nothing positive about it. All they do talk about is how many women throw themselves at him, how he likes butts, how many people he shot, and how much he drinks and parties.

All rap is is poetry to a beat. Think of it as what a lot of us would think of as music, but without the majority of the instrumentation. Don't rule out the entire genre because one section of it is comprised entirely of morons.

I wish I touched on this. As I edited in my first post, not all rap is bad. The older stuff can sometimes be good. But I still think a vast amount of rap is dumb. However I can't say all rap sucks. Good point F_W. 8)

I pretty much avoid rap, but I have heard Kanye West's Jesus Walks and I think thats exactly the direction rap should be going. Really interesting production on that track.

What ever happened to rap artists like Public Enemy, who rapped about things that were actually important?

While I'm not a big fan of rap, Eighteen has pretty much read my mind. I think that Kanye West is probably the best rap (or hip-hop, I personally don't exactly see the difference) artist working today... His songs are about more than just "chicks" and "homies" and "gangstas" and "honeys", like say... 50 Cent, or Eminem. Those guys tend to be way too angsty for my taste. Kanye West, though, reall has something different, also lyric-wise and also song production-wise (he tends to use sampling in a very interesting way, as opposed to just rapping to an extremely simple electronic beat).I would much rather rap go in the direction Kanye West is going, and not in the direction 50 Cent is going.
