Is it just me or is rap music really boring now and days?

"What's this rap everyones referring to? The genres called hip hop, as KRS one once said: "Rap is something you do, hip hop is something you live"."

a few things to note. that quote is about the music being rap, one part of a larger subculture which would be the hip-hop. krs-one is batshit insane (and he sucks!) and would like to be called hip-hop while he makes gospel albums.

itt: op mistakes pop music for rap.

There is a difference between rap and what is currently presented on the radio today. Honestly, if you want to be technical. The 80's had better rap than we do now.

True, when he's referring to Hip hop he's talking about the subculture, but by the use of the word "do" it seems likely he's referring to rap as what it was, a verb and not a genre. I just don't think "rap" can be described as a genre, in my experience people I know who use that word apply it in the broadest sense, mostly mistaking hip hop for rap. Sure there's subgenres which use the word rap, i.e. gangster rap, rap metal, but there's nothing that's just rap.

Might just be me being pedantic, but it just seems annoying to me that just because someone is rapping on a beat, its rap. Its like defining all songs with the use of an electric guitar as metal.

Lol Tupac had like Two songs respecting women, but most were in the vein of I get around

Silly white Kids Trying to define a Genre they know shit all about
Silly black Kids for listing shitty examples to listen to today
and Silly all of us for making Gamera look Smarter than he is.

you're an idiot.

[Chickatawbut]

Rappers are chosen nowadays. You don't need talent, you just need to be as lucrative as possible for the record labels and whoever else. $$$ ruins everything.

[LeMoine]

Look at Prodigal being racist.

[swaggery]

one of those morons who think because they're black, they automatically know everything about rap.

[ProdigalSonReturned]

Know. I just know because i've studied it for, well years, that's all no biggie, just one of my bigger passioans in life, having nothing to do with my race.

[ProdigalSonReturned]

Lol at you only taking one comment i said.

[JohnDoe429]

Another reason why I hate most rap: some of the fans are more annoying than Justin Bieber's fangirls.

No you just picked one thing, and went right to town, this whole thread is stupid. John is stupid for creating it you're stupid for thinking that you have a leg to stand on.

[LeMoine]

Has nothing to do with race, but you don't understand it unless you're a certain race.

[swaggery]

lol. i just picked one thing? what?

you clearly implied that black people should know more about rap with that post.
white kids know nothing about rap, black kids should know better.
we all read it, we're not stupid. i don't know why you're trying to flip it around now lol.
but whatever, bud. i'm sure you're right and that's not actually what you meant.

[LeMoine]

The "s" at the end of the word "kids" made it plural, meaning you were talking about more than just him.

[ProdigalSonReturned]

Nevermind. arguing with you is like arguing with a brick wall, of stupid.

[LeMoine]

You're just pissed off because you're a hypocritical bitch.
