I'm 100% sober, out of weed, and angry... here we go... Rap is blatantly stupid and i find it offensive that it even exists. (with a few exceptions here and there.) America has destroyed music almost completely, they have turned what used to be an art form into "sick beats" and offensive lyrics. And it's not just music, Movies are crap now too, I grew up watching Blade Runner and The Godfather, now hey have movies like 2012. And even books are starting to turn into some fad with the whole Twilight series. lil wayne is crap, btw I don't even know J-DILLA... but this takes the words right out of my mouth You can listen to whatever music you want, but it doesn't make it good music, A guy i know said Dark Side of the Moon is only popular because it's for high people and that lil wayne was real music... Dark Side of the Moon is probably the greatest albums ever made next to some of the beatles albums because it has GOOD music "Hello? Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone home? Come on, Come on, Come on, now, I hear you're feeling down. Well, I can ease your pain Get you on your feet again. Relax. I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts. Can you show me where it hurts? There is no pain you are receding A distant ship's smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying. When I was a child I had a FEVER My hands felt just like two balloons. Now I've got that feeling once again I can't explain, you would not understand This is not how I am. I have become comfortably numb. (solo) I have become comfortably numb. O.K. Just a little pin prick. There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah! But you may feel a little sick. Can you stand up? I do believe it's working, good. That'll keep you going through the show Come on it's time to go. There is no pain you are receding A distant ship's smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying. When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown, The dream is gone. but I have become comfortably numb." If any rap artist today has better lyrics than that just tell me, if not... just accept the fact you listen to shit music (this is not about old school rap, it's abut NEW rap) My name is Zack... and i'm proud to be an elitist
it's not just me, it's not even other people, it's just obvious facts. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd will never be forgotten, most rap artist now wil be forgotten in ten years
I don't understand if you don't like something why make a thread about it. I don't like metal but I don't make threads to bash and hate on it. I don't listen to it and I'm ignorant about it so I'm not going to hate on it. WTF is wrong with people Edit- I couldn't care less if anybody remebered it or not I'm not listening to it for anybody else.
I think summed my feelings up about rap pretty well in the whys everyone hatin on rap thread.we need a revolution \t\t\t \t\t\t\tToday, 09:45 AM \t\t\t \t\t\t \t\t\t \t\t\t\t JointOps1 Registered User Join Date: Mar 2010 \t\t\t\t\tPosts: 10 \t\t\t\t Re: Why does everyone have to hate on rap?

Cause i take it you dont play any kind of or near any instrument so i doubt you know what real music is you dont have an ear for music if you listen rap thats a bunch of shit you dont have to be talented to write meaningless lyrics and put it to a "beat" what about the talent. lyrics that mean something?people who actually can play instruments who actually deserve the money of people that buy there albums. go listen some lil wayne
I can't stand people like who think they know every thing about music. You say I don't know what real music is......well it's all comes down to ones perspective so to say something is real music or not IMO is stupid ass shit it's all real. You may not like it but it's music and there's people who do like. I think what I said before fits well here. trying to tell me what's good and what's not smfh. Go jack off to Bob Dylan

Damn just shut up now Bonzo. I agree, any mainstream music nowadays is complete shit. But that doesn't mean there's not plenty of talented rappers and producers still around. And a lot of groups still DO play all live instruments. So don't disrespect any one music style just because you've heard a few examples and gave up. Oh, and i like hipppity hop and Floyd, so there ya go partner
I play guitar at a fairly good level, and I love rap music and I love Pink Floyd and the beatles. Why make a choice? Please don't call lil wayne rap, because he may be techincally classed as it but everyone who likes real rap knows he's not a real rapper. Oh and as for lyrics, listen to one love by nas. I think it's pathetic that you made a thread to hate on something. I don't really like punk music that much, but I don't start a thread claiming to be an elitist and say that it's a fact that punk music is shit. I really hope you're not serious when you say that it's a FACT that rap is shit.
You act as if youve just posted some amazing lyrics just because theres a lot of words, i mean the overall message of that song is fucking stupid you kind of just proved my point.anyone can really write those lyrics theres nothing that really stands out that shows creativty...... Darkness at the break of noon Shadows even the silver spoon The handmade blade, the child’s balloon Eclipses both the sun and moon To understand you know too soon There is no sense in trying. Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn Suicide remarks are torn From the fool’s gold mouthpiece the hollow horn Plays wasted words, proves to warn That he not busy being born is busy dying. Temptation’s page flies out the door You follow, find yourself at war Watch waterfalls of pity roar You feel to moan but unlike before You discover that you’d just be one more Person crying. So don’t fear if you hear A foreign sound to your ear It’s alright, Ma, I’m only sighing. As some warn victory, some downfall Private reasons great or small Can be seen in the eyes of those that call To make all that should be killed to crawl While others say don’t hate nothing at all Except hatred. Disillusioned words like bullets bark As human gods aim for their mark Make everything from toy guns that spark To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark It’s easy to see without looking too far That not much is really sacred. While preachers preach of evil fates Teachers teach that knowledge waits Can lead to hundred-dollar plates Goodness hides behind its gates But even the president of the United States Sometimes must have to stand naked. An’ though the rules of the road have been lodged It’s only people’s games that you got to dodge And it’s alright, Ma, I can make it. Advertising signs they con You into thinking you’re the one That can do what’s never been done That can win what’s never been won Meantime life outside goes on All around you. You lose yourself, you reappear You suddenly find you got nothing to fear Alone you stand with nobody near When a trembling distant voice, unclear Startles your sleeping ears to hear That somebody thinks they really found you. A question in your nerves is lit Yet you know there is no answer fit To satisfy, insure you not to quit To keep it in your mind and not forget That it is not he or she or them or it That you belong to. Although the masters make the rules For the wise men and the fools I got nothing, Ma, to live up to. For them that must obey authority That they do not respect in any degree Who despise their jobs, their destinies Speak jealously of them that are free Cultivate their flowers to be Nothing more than something they invest in. While some on principles baptized To strict party platform ties Social clubs in drag disguise Outsiders they can freely criticize Tell nothing except who to idolize And then say God bless him. While one who sings with his tongue on fire Gargles in the rat race choir Bent out of shape from society’s pliers Cares not to come up any higher But rather get you down in the hole That he’s in. But I mean no harm nor put fault On anyone that lives in a vault But it’s alright, Ma, if I can’t please him. Old lady judges watch people in pairs Limited in sex, they dare To push fake morals, insult and stare While money doesn’t talk, it swears Obscenity, who really cares Propaganda, all is phony. While them that defend what they cannot see With a killer’s pride, security It blows the minds most bitterly For them that think death’s honesty Won’t fall upon them naturally Life sometimes must get lonely. My eyes collide head-on with stuffed Graveyards, false gods, I scuff At pettiness which plays so rough Walk upside-down inside handcuffs Kick my legs to crash it off Say okay, I have had enough What else can you show me? And if my thought-dreams could be seen They’d probably put my head in a guillotine But it’s alright, Ma, it’s life, and life only
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kecpVYjNJVk]YouTube - Nas - Sly Fox (with Full Lyrics)[/ame] EDIT: That song isn't particular good lyrics, but the flow and rhyme is extremely good.
they are some of the best lyrics you probably cease to see the meaning of it even,its make you think look at from different perspectives there so many creative quotes from that song dude you really do have some balls to say that that isnt particulary good lyrics you just have to get it you have know how to read lyrics and get the song anyone who says dylans lyrics arent good is fucking nuts and shouldnt even have the right to have say in this conversation.i know what good lyrics are man i grew up my dad being a musician ive been into music since i was 8 years old writing my own songs since age 13now 24 i think i know a little more than you about actual musical talent .
I didn't expect to see this level of ignorance in GC But I do think Dylans lyrics are good, and Pink Floyd is my all time favourite band. I don't know why I'm telling you this as I really couldn't care less what you think of me. My advice to you is to use tolerance, and don't bitch at everyone who doesn't like the same music as you. You're just as bad as the people that criticize weed smokers for smoking weed.
Lyrics to Pray To The Lord : {Chorus} "Before I sleep I pray to the lord my soul to keep and if I shall die before I awake I pray to the lord, my soul to take For goodness sake (repeat) I wrote my will just the other week It was funny it was only one sheet And I know that's only one me But I hope I am everything my son be I'm trying to live right stay on the drum beat But I'm in the fast lane, in the front seat I wonder will I lose control of the Mazerati And hit some tree just being young me Is there a heaven for G's and soldiers? I can't go to hell 'cause I'll take over I feel it approaching but I aint scared. I made that bed and I should rest in peace. {Chorus} Yea and every time I see the sunshine I drop down and give thanks at least one time Feeling like I'm living on the frontline I'm feeling like every second is crunch time I've had breakfast will I make it to lunchtime? And I aint joking so don't be looking for punchlines Will I be the next victim of a gun crime? I don't know the answer that's why I brung mine Riding by myself late at night Pistol on my lap at every single red light I made my bed right so when I do I should sleep tight and peace I rip {Chorus} Bury me a gangsta cause that's what I live Don't cry for me I gave the best I could give I can only do me so that's what I did And I cherish every birth of my kid And I don't wanna go before she grow that aint cool But in this game of life I don't make the rules Shiiit So that's why I get twisted So I can't feel it when it hits me And my moms don't need that on her But I see dead around the corner And if he so happens to make his way around the block You gotta answer the door when he knock Believe that"- lil Wayne [Kid Cudi] "I got 99 problems and they all b-tches, wish i was Jigga man, care free livin, but im not shawn, or Martin Louis, I’m that Cleveland n-gga, rollin with them Brooklyn boy, you know how it be when you start living large, i control my own life, Charles was never in charge, no sitcom could teach Scott, about the dram or even explain the troubles that haunted my mom on Christmas time my moms Christmas grind got most of what i wanted how’d you do it mom? huh, she copped the toys i would play with in my room by myself why he by himself he got 2 older brothers 1 hood 1 good an independent older sister kept me fly when she could but they all didn’t see the little bit of sadness in me Scotty [Chorus] I've got some issues that nobody can see and all of these emotions are pourin' outta me I bring them to the light for you it's only right this is the soundtrack to my life the soundtrack to my life ohhhh [Verse 2] I super paranoid like a sixth sense, since my father died I ain’t been right since, and I tried to piece the puzzle of the universe, split an eighth of shrooms just so I can see the universe, I try to think about myself as a sacrifice, just to show the kids they ain’t the only ones up tonite, the moon will illuminate my room and soon i’m consumed by my doom, Once upon a time nobody gave a f-ck, it’s all said and done and my cocks been sucked, so now im in the cut, alcohol in the womb, my hearts an open swore and hope it heals soon, I live in a cocoon opposite of Cancun, where it is never sunny the dark side of the moon, so its moving right, i try to shed some light on the man, not many people of this planet understand. [Chorus] I've got some issues that nobody can see and all of these emotions are pourin' outta me I bring them to the light for you it's only right this is the soundtrack to my life the soundtrack to my life ohhhh [Verse 3] I was close to go an try some coke and a happy ending would be slitting my throat, ignorance the coke man, ignorance is bliss, ignorance is love and I need that sh-t, if i never did shows then i’ll prol be a myth and if i cared about the blogs I’d probably be a jackass, don’t give a sh-t what people talk about fam, haters shake my hand but i keep the sanitizer on deck, hope i really get to see thirty, wanna settle down stop being so flirty, most of the clean faces be the most dirty, i just need a thorough bread cook when i’m hungry, ass all chunky, brain is insanity, only things that calm me down p-ssy and some cali tree’s, and I get both, never truly satisfied, I AM HAPPY, thats just the saddest lie! [Chorus] I've got some issues that nobody can see and all of these emotions are pourin' outta me I bring them to the light for you it's only right this is the soundtrack to my life the soundtrack to my life ohh"
totally cause talking about music and weed is the same thing huh?? your dumb as a box of rocks dude, i wont even bother reading your reply so dont bother.
buncha racist bastards, your mad cause your white and cant adjust to the music cause your too buisy listening to the shit your forefathers told you was right to listen to. blah blah blah, American grew up on rock and roll. Who gives a fuck? Its a new generation and people dont want to sit around listening to the same old shit over and over again. It was time for a change so rap was created. Where would music be without the diversity in genres ? NO WHERE you stupid fuck. You state this shit like as if its a fact that rap is garbage, when its merely your personal opinion. Opinions are like assholes, everyones got one and they all stink! You notice how its always some one hating on rap, but you never see someone talking shit about rock, punk, death rock, country, etc. Ozzy ozborne is a sick bastard but you hear no one talkin shit about him There are several types of rappers, LiL Wayne is classified as a commercial rapper, he puts out the music he knows his fans want to hear and makes money. His last album Carter III sold 1 million in the first week, jus goes to show you how many fans hes got. Just cause you dont like what rappers speak about in they're lyrics doesnt mean you have to talk shit about them. P.S. I just noticed all this hatred is coming from two users with less than 25 post that subscribed this year, hahahahha
fuck everything said in this thread. PEOPLE LISTEN TO WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR AND TO THEM ITS MUSIC WHO GIVES A FUCK IF YOU DONT LIKE IT OR NOT ITS NOT UP TO YOU AND NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR OPINION.
Those lyrics are fucking stupid are you a idiot? How can you say nothing stands out? Those are amazing lyrics with true meaning and pain behind them. Just because you don't understand them completely doesn't make them stupid Edit- the overall message fucking stupid how can you say that WOW
Saying "Weed is a bad thing to do, that's fact" is in my opinion the same thing as saying "Rap is a bad thing to listen to, that's fact." Both rely on empirical observations, and in no way resemble facts whatsoever. Seeing as how you can't use correct grammar, make basic spelling mistakes and can't seem to back up your argument with anything more than the classic "my music is better than yours, here are some lyrics from my favourite musician, he is better than your favourite musician, that's a fact".
