Speaking really fast using bad half rhymes whilst barely sticking to a simple beat does not qualify as musical talent.
Isn't poetry:
The aforementioned bad half-rhymes, lyrics composed mostly of ebonics and unimaginative subject matter that compirse most rap songs does not qualify as poetry. Most real musicians are more poetic, such as John Lennon.
Is a load of shite:
It's the best way for a bunch of lazy hacks who never had any real skills or talents to earn the money that real musicians could be earning, in a music industry gone mad.
Your just generalizing rap music, not all rap music is bad, just most of the rappers who rap about their cars and ho's generally give rap music a bad name
e.g: Snoop Dogg, Chingy, G-unit e.t.c i have to agree that most of that is all crap, but not all rap music is.
Twista, Kanye West, 2pac, Outkast, Jay-z e.t.c is some examples of rappers who can talk about something other then their millions of dollars, cars and ho's. Who can be poetic, and who can make some great sounding music.
So you cant say All rap music is shit, yes a big portion of it is but there is some great rappers out there who put out some great music.
Anyway its a taste in music, i myself dont like punk, i cant stand listening to a bunch of 20 year olds singing about loosing their girlfriend, its been done about a million times. yet again, not all punk music is about that and there is some good punk music.
I like the deep guttural sound of some rappers like the ying yang twins, and tupac, lil' john and some others, which is also why I like Rammstein and the german heavy metal scene.

I'd agree with what Crystal Clear said. This was a stupid post to make... theres no point. I don't like the taste of apricots but I don't make posts about it.
agree with ya teapot. maybe its just the commercial stuff that gets played by baby teens but all i hear is some self indulgent singing with himself about his favourite car/"bitch"/sports wear brand. there is no music talent in there and the bands dont get any mention. HA at Enemineinsmsins "my band" song, do them guys really play the drums and keyboard etc? somehow i doubt it.
i dont understand this whole urban thing going on either. meh im a country boy i wouldnt get it anyways
some rap music is aight, i never liked any of it before this year when my mate got a new sound system in his car and cranked some xzibit on his fully sick subwoofer. in general its shit, all of the rap on mtv is shit, but some of it can sound pretty hot.
I really love good hip hop, hip hop isnt only music, its a culture. A culture that is all about expressing what they feal about this and that. But some have found a way to earn a lot of cash on this culture, and is is usually that peapules hear on the radio and see on mtv. You should listen to some underground hip hop music who are still proceeding with what hip hop truly is about.
Try listen to:
"Louis Logic"
"gangstarr"
"People under the stairs"
"Blackalicios"
Some of the old albums to "Black eyed peas"
Isn't big Isn't clever Rants too much Generalises
etc, etc.

Yeah I found that out last night, that really sucks as I think it will probably mean the end of the Wu-Tang clan. Anyone here like Del the funky Homosapian?
Thing that gets me is, people are always saying that because I am 14, I should be listening to rap in my bedroom 24/7, truth is, I dont like rap in gen.
what i dont like about rap fans; they seem to think that everyone wants to listen to it. at my college a few idiots just played it all the time, muting whenever a tutor came in. so we then had a no music rule enforced.
the same when they play it out loud in thier cars. the next time some wannabe speeds past in his modded Punto (lol) playing his music my phone is going through his window. then ill ring him and tell him to shut the hell up.
if you like music; listen to it. if others dont; then shut the hell up.
