you know i saw this club and i just couldnt resist, so im going to post my little rant and get my two cents in so here i go
first off, lets consider that fact that not all rap is the same, think of it in terms of punk music because that seems to be a good reference. not all punk music is the same, hell its as varied as every other genre...it would be like comparing sum 41 to the rammones, it just doesnt work. There are many styles of punk as there are many styles of rap.
Most ppl that say they DO hate rap are probably just listening or watching the wrong stuff. The guys you see on MTV (whom i loathe with a great passion) are real sellouts, just look at em, they are walking bilboards advertising the latest bling blingy so they can ching chingy with their thing thingy. That is what i would like to call the stereotypical view of what ppl see rap artists as
who could blame em too, cause the ppl that are on MTV 24/7 do piss me off, because to them music isnt music, its a business, and they dont do concerts for fans anymore, its walking pocket books. This applies to all who dare play their stuff on MTV, including any punk, country, r&b, anything thats is on MTV is there for one purpose, and that is for your money money money
now i really do feel sorry for those ignorant enough to believe what you SEE is what you get, because it is not the case at all. There is music outside of MTV, but in such a modern age such as this most ppl will never leave their house to look for it.
i would say that the genre of rap that i do listen to would be the underground hip hop category. ppl laugh and tell me that they must really be horrible if they arent even good enough to be on MTV. i scoff right back at them and tell them that the underground artists CHOOSE to remain underground because unlike the sellouts you see on MTV, the people i listen to arent in it for the money or even the publicity, but just to make music with depth and actual meaning, not about sex, gold chains, or money, because the most annoying ppl in the world are those who cant get enough of themselves...it makes me sick
ppl who make underground hip hop are the true talent that chooses to remain hidden, mainly because they only want the authentic fans listening to their stuff, and not have to sing to a crowd of cheap posers
underground hip hop is more like poetry than anything else, hell thats all music is, poetry with music
and so what if you dont like rap, theres no need to be negative about it, like one dude said on the other page just go and join the metallica club or something. life is too short to be hating things everyday, just accept the fact that ppl are diverse in interests, thats what makes us individuals, and just cause not everyone has the same interests or opinions as you do doesnt mean you can go bashing em for it, thats just childish
hell i dont like country, i dont like pop music, i dont like the "stereotypical" rap music, but i dont go bashing everyone that likes those things, and that is because i repect the fact that everyone is different
well im done now, so go ahead and begin your rebuttal, like i know youre going to do, and go ahead and try to tell me how i am wrong, it only proves my point even more than i already have
