Hip-hop and hippies

Does not compute :sunny:

 

Touched on your quoted response in previous post.

I’m biased against Irish music but most especially Irish Dancing (the most fucked up shit the world has ever seen)

Conversely I use Irish Spring soap, eat Lucky Charms, and I've seen the movie Leprechaun 3 times - which proves I’m not biased against the Irish per se :2thumbsup:

I can listen to all genres as long as the lyrical content is interesting.
For this reason I do not like mainstream music because the lyrical content is mostly always boring. I don't want to hear about how you're poor (when you aren't) or "keep it real".
I'm sick of musicians saying keep it real that ain't entertainment.
Would you really listen to a rapper talk about the things they do
Peep the single, I washed my balls today woooo
Yeah that's really dope but nobody gives a shit what you do in every day life so don't spit it.
I prefer lots of mysticism in my music.

 

I’d like to see them try that shit on the city streets of america

Preferably somewhere near a street sign which reads MLK boulevard

I really do not get rap. Maybe I have not really listened to good rap or simply don't get it. I find it repetitive as in beat and for some reason that beat puts me on edge.

 

A mystic? That's interesting.

But think, there's nothing but 'everyday life'. It's only that people experience it on different levels.

 

That's good.....I am glad to hear it.

 

It's just not the good stuff

 

@Fairlight We have a cross over artist that is more hippy than anything else! Give "Mod Sun" a listen! I really enjoy a bunch of his songs, and 'stoner girl' is particularly good!

I was just kidding of course. But I do find it a pity sometimes that some people refuse to see the beauty of a song or even a whole kind of music because it's good in translating anger and violence into a musical form (the exception is of course nu metal).

 

Oh, so hip hop is like rap with words. I never got into that. Firstly, I cannot understand what the words are and have to google the lyrics to see waht the words are, and it hurts my ears....all the banging.....so I just get my proverbial pots and pans together if I just want to make noise....lol....kidding. I don't bang pots and pans together.....

 

I feel like most people who don't like hip hop just haven't heard good hip hop.

 

Share some good hiphop Meliai and I will give it a good listen.....

If I was old as dirt there's probably a good chance I wouldn't have heard much hip hop, and granted a lot of stuff on the radio is pretty bad.

There's a difference between that and dismissing the whole genre all together because you're too old and that you heard on the Today show that it's violent.

Kanye West does some stuff that is extremely creative and high in quality He is writing and performing on a higher level than anybody else right now, but he's so damn pretentious that it's hard for me to sit through anything he does. I still turn up the radio when Tone Loc's Wild Thing comes on, and a few of the old M&M classic hits. You can pretty much count on Jay Z to deliver the quality too.

When people say all rap is bad, they insult a wide variety of performers, from Deborah Harry on Blondie's Rapture, to Vincent Price on Michael Jackson's Thriller, to George Thorogood on the long version of One Scotch, One Bourbon, and One Beer. So, I have to step back from that sweeping statement.

I mostly hate the generic rap shit that people play at extremely high volume levels while they are putting gas in their cars, some of it with only three or four words repeated in rhythm. That's commonly known in the South as jungle bunny music. Every black person I know makes fun of it, and the people who love it.

The cars always look like this:

Rap's reputation (and hip hop) suffers from its association with the low end of its fan base.

That's been the definition of music, at least since the 1600's. The shift to rap is much more than just a generational change.
