I have listened to rap music since before it was popular for white kids to listen to rap. Most of my music collection is old school rap.

My brother called me the other night from Okinawa. He had just got home from work, where he works at a bowling alley. Too Short, and E-40 were both there bowling. My brother ended up hanging out with them for half of the night, bowling like 5 games and the works. He made such an impact on them, they came back the next morning to leave him their autographs. He is a rap fan, but nothing like me. SO, as a cool suprise for me, he is mailing me the bowling pin they signed!!!!!!!

How freakin cool! Now i gotta go through the list of autographs i have...


Violent J, and Shaggy 2 Dope of I.C.P.
Tech N9Ne
Filthee Immigrants
Too Short
E-40

I've never been a fan of rap.. I read somewhere:

Rap is to Music what the
Etch-A-Sketch is to Art :tongue:
 
I have a pimp mug. I know it fits in here with this post somwhere... But it says pimp with diamonds. Lol. I am a big version of ice tea.
 
There is a reason rap sounds so much like crap. Just kidding RA. Although I am in no way a fan of the music, but then again not too many of my type of music. To each his/her own.
 
This thread was aimed at the RAP MUSIC FANS. If you dislike rap music so much, why did you even click on my post? just to HATE.

This thread should have been just like every other thread. If you Ain't got something nice to say, then shut your mouth!

I would never come on IAP and smash on country music. I can't stand country music but i don't hate on what other people like. If someone came on here talking about Clint Black, i would say "Good for you", and leave it at that.

Totally uncool.


The Drizzle part was funny tho!
 
So i am the bad guy for posting something that i think some of my fellow younger turners might be interested in because some people instantly started flaming and i stuck up for my choice in music?

If this were about religion, and i said i had the Pope's autograph and people started flaming "Pope rhymes with Dope" then they would get slammed i am sure. But because my topic of choice is rap, it's ok to dog my thread?

My comment about people shutting their muoths was a referance to a lesson that ALL of our mommies and daddies should have taught us when we were about 5 or 6. I have been in my fair share of heated discussions on this forum. So much so that i know for a fact i have made enemies, and some people have blocked sight of all my threads and posts. I have recently been reminded of that rule myself, and try very hard not to be ignorant to people. At the same time, I refuse to let people bash something that i am passionate about.

If you want to post to my thread ADDRESSED to rap music fans, then say you don't like rap music, or dont understand it or whatever, and move on. Don't tell me how it isn't even music, and it rymes with crap for a reason, and etch a sketch is more artistic than rap. THAT IS HATING.

hatin'...

You coulda stopped after saying that you are not a fan of rap and all would be cool. But instead, you had to add something snappy you read once. At that point, you stopped being a non rap fan, and became a rap hater.

Ron, don't let em get to you. People fear what they don't understand. I have yet to find a music style I didn't like (even Polka). I have as much rap as I do country and enjoy both. I also have lot of classical and rock. To me it's just another music style to be enjoyed.

It was a joke. Calm down. Don't get your diapers in a wad (again a joke in case you can't pick up on the sarcasm).
 
You know, I have been thinking about this thread, and i must say some things.

If all i heard was the dribble that is played on the radio today, I would probably agree with the sentiment of rap is junk. Alot of the rap music today is junk. But dogging the entire industry is a form of racism.

If you just had the written lyrics to a bunch of rap songs, you would say some of them were beautiful poems, but put over a beat and it all changes. If you have a heart, I could find a rap song that you could connect to, no matter your age or background. Granted, you may not care for it over a beat, but if i handed you the written lyrics, you would connect.


Anyway, that's about all i got to say to this thread... If you wanna discuss rap music further( from either side of the coin) then PM me!

I deleted it because the thread was devolving into something ugly and after
thinking about it, I didn't want to be part of that. I'll leave you with this:
If you choose to see hatred where you look, you will always find it.
 
that's a nice comment coming from the first person to flame my thread!

RA knows I am joking, we cleared it up. And yes, I do like joking around, it makes life much more fun. Being serious all the time sucks. As I told RA, no offense was meant to anyone by my "rap sounds like crap" joke. I specifically said it was a joke. I agree with newlondon, this is turning ugly, and I as well, want no part of it. :peace:
 
Congrads. (have no idea who they are)
I am not the biggest fan of rap but I do listen to some Eminem is the only new stuff I have but if you want to reach back I do have some Fresh Prince, Run DMC and a few others. I'm more of a rock and metal fan. I have had a meet and great back stage at a concert or 2 and have meet a couple others. AC/DC would be my #1 band but just like rjwolfe I listen to most everything. The first CD's I bought were Beethoven and Mozart. I don't like county or religious. Someone in my family even recorded a CD and had a couple #1 country songs in europe. I was in the studio for the recording of 2 songs and I still dont like country. I can deal with some of the pop/country.

If your read the words in most songs alot of people would be more open about the music. Even Johnny Cash recorded a CD of 10 or 12 Metal songs. I even liked a couple of the versions he did.

rjwolfe the only polka I like is Wierd Al :biggrin:

You're kidding, right? Please tell me you're kidding...

BTW- I'm not a fan of rap, but I can appreciate some of the skill that goes into it. Though in general, I dislike anything that creates a culture that values criminality over all.

Regardless, I think that it's very cool you were able to collect something from someone you look up to.
 
Ron, No I am not a fan of Rap, Just doesn't do it for me. But I am tickled that you are getting autographs from "Artists" that you appreciate.
 
I like to listen to old school rap, but the new stuff where all they want to do is talk about killen fools and gettin their baby mama pregnant and whatever just turns me off.

Gimme some Heavy D, C&C Music Factory, Digital Underground and stuff along those lines and I'm good to go. BTW alot of folks who listen to rap would call me old (43) but your only as old as you feel, and music can have alot to do with keeping you young if you listen to stuff that touches your soul.

Towmater (lover of most kinds of music except Screeching speed metal and there are even a few songs in there I like).

You left out Vanilla Ice!!

Congrats on getting those autographs Ron.
 
Hey Towmater, Do yourself a big favor! Find an album called "One" by a group called Me Phi Me. I guarantee you will like them! Accoustic guitar with heavy background beats, and all positive rap lyrics! Excellent album!


"I believe that you can be what you want to be.
High as the sun, Deep as the sea you can achieve,
Thus the Fraternity Me Phi Me We stand
For individuality for every free man
Because the reality of a weak clan
is a formality of slavery but we can learn to be
into your own, everyone has a throne
what fool will you rule?"

I'll check them out, thanks for the tip!

UGHHHH. Just like a marine....receive a reply and take four days to respond. M.A.R.I.N.E. My Ass Rides In Navy Equipment. U.S.M.C. Uncle Sam's Misguided Children. Just kidding Todd, I am sure you have heard these countless times before, but I can't help it. A good H.S. friend of mine is a Marine pilot. Of course he started Navy....but ended up a Marine. Assbackwards if you ask me. GO NAVY!

RA,
I'm Not a fan of RAP, it's just not my style and I find the beat irritating... but when I was growing up at the beginning of the Rock and Roll era, all the old people then hated the music and didn't like the beat either.... music is like everything else... we run through cycles and the last generation generally always hates the music of the next... I was taught - to each his own... and that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder...

Congratulations on getting the autographs.. enjoy them and don't pay attention to the detractors...
