It's not hip hop that's not music. I don't personally like "understand" Black Eyed Peas music. Heavy Metal is actually pretty cool I can hear complex harmonies in the lead vocals and nice rhythms in the guitars that play in unison. My issues with the Rap. . . let me say again Rap not Hip-hop, are plenty. I rap and don't care if 10 million people or 1 person like my music. I make music because I love to and not for any other reason.thekeymaster wrote:Wow I missed this thread.....must have been half asleep or something....
How much snobbery is going on in here,open your minds for christ sake.
Real musicians??Hip Hop is'nt music? Black Eyed Peas aint musical??
Heavy Metal is a noise??
And I thought we had a lot of experienced "musicians" in this forum???
woops my mistake.
My 1st issue, there are hundred's of rappers that I have met personally who talk about other people's rap not being real. When they themselves stole their rhyme schemes, vocal setup, music (sampling without at least some original musical contribution), content (like saying they sell all of these pounds or kilos of drugs, killed all of these people, and drive Bentley's and Bugatti's. When they haven't sold a dime bag of weed, haven't killed anyone, never even seen a Bentley or Bugatti in real life.)
Now, don't get it "twankled and twistled", I have loved hip-hop since I was four. All I'm saying is if you are going to rap at least make it half way true. I remember when rappers had to work hard to make a name for rap. I remember when there was no rap category on the charts. I remember when people thought rap itself was a fad. Most of the young people that are rapping now-a-days don’t remember this. Some weren’t even born yet. Anyway that’s pretty much the only reason why I care about what they are doing. The same way Bush ruined the U.S. credibility across the world is the same way these “peasy headed b-boys. . .Kurtis Blow” are doing it to rap by lying.
In the streets they call being something your not, being fake. So holding most of the rappers that I know and have met personally to the standard of the street, in rap terms, they are fake. In other words not real.
“Peasy headed b-boys. . . term from “I’m Chillin” by Kurtis Blow.
gotta pack the shades.
