I wouldn't call myself a fan or follower of it but I find a couple of songs I like now and then.

To expose myself to rap or hip hop would require me to "find" songs that I would occasionally care for (radio, youtube, etc.); however, I don't. Since my interests lie elsewhere, I spend my time looking for music that is more up my alley. Nothing intrinsically wrong with rap or hip hop, and I'm sure there are good songs out there, but it's just not my cup of tea.

By the way, would you call yourself a fan or follower of classical music?... Can't remember any post of yours related to classical music at all, :devil: :lol:

There's some rap/hip hop that I do like. Usually they have really involved instrumentals or they have a message that I really like.

Fate has yet to expose me to a rap/hip hop song that doesn't nauseate me.

I think of it more as "poetry with a beat" than music.

 

[david johnson]

I never think of rap. There have been a few rap selections I've heard that were interesting. I believe it makes a good contrasting segment within the context of a mostly melodic song.

Like recitative maybe?

My interest is not so involved these days, but I always liked original hip-hop music from the early-to-mid '80s and some from the later 80s and early '90s like Ice-T and especially KRS One. Positive social and political consciousness has not entirely disappeared from hip-hop culture.

It can be powerful stuff. Love the beat.

Recently watched a good movie about Rap in the 1980s, called "Straight Outta Compton"

I've never written off any form of musical genre so a good bit of anything on a sunny day with a bottle of cheap wine can certainly do the trick.

I really dislike Rap/Hip Hop. It's never done it for me being that I really like melody.

 

[Judith]

Don't!! I can't call that "music"!!!!

 

[mtmailey]

THIS IS WHAT I THINK.the music has declined in quality.Also there is mumble rap which is proof of what i talking about.

Also there is mumble rap which is proof of what i talking about.

I just searched for "mumble rap" and ended up at Wikipedia... It's a strange article. It's 90% about it being a pejorative term and a discussion involving the views of people with bizarre names like: 'Lil Yachty', 'Wiz Khalifa' and 'Playboi Carti'.

More interesting is in the list under the 'See Also' section, the article author(s) added Asemic writing. It's the sort of thing that would start a revolution here at TC were a thread to be started about it.

I can't adequately express my hatred of it without getting banned from this forum.

 

[Blancrocher]

I tend to like the songs were the artist brags about having lots of money.

 

[Kivimees]

I would rather listen to the sounds of jack-hammering.

 

[isorhythm]

Most people here will never get it, I'm afraid.

 

[eugeneonagain]

Wonder how many are willing to listen to that diabolical 'Christian Rock/Pop' though?
