A question about Rap music!!!?

Question

Most people these days don`t like rap music, the say it has place in the music industry. I personaly like rap, but most of the world thinks that rap is dead! Do you like rap music, and if ,,YES" , Why???

Answer 1

i love rap! what makes it so unique is the beats and if the lyrics are meaningful it makes for an even better song.

but anyway, rap is not dead... it's just misunderstood. personally i prefer rap from way back in the day... hood rap... when rappers talked about real issues in their life and the world around them. these days its all about "gangsta" rap... the kind people hate because its usually all about b****es and ho's and money and cars... etc. im not saying they're all like that, but most are. it now gets a bad rep because this generation has evolved from rapping about the hood to rapping about being a gangsta. so i wouldnt say its dead... it has just evolved from what it used to be. every generation has its own style of music within the different genres. so when the times change, so does the music.

Hip Hop is global music for the masses. Hip Hop artists sold more Cd's, ring tones, and downloadable music than any other genre of music in 2006. So Hip Hop is not going anywhere. The "mainstream" audience doesn't understand the struggle that the "hardcore" artists speak about. Creativity on the mainstream side ceased to exist about 3 1/2 years ago. so I see why Nas say that "Hip Hop is dead". It's the underground artists that stay true to the art form that will push the envelope and continue to elevate...never stagnate. For every Lil' Jon there is a Tali Kweli. For every D4L there is The Roots. For every 50 Cent there is a Papoose. The reason that the under-talented, least creative, most "thugged out" artists are what you hear is......because that's the way the major record labels want it. There is an army of conscious Hip Hop artists ready to take over. If only it were that easy.

Rap and Rock are always going to go back and fourth. For years rap has dominated the charts, but the mindless clones that let MTV decide what is “in” have decided to start listing to indie bands. It’s just like when anything gets extreamly popular, there is going to be a backlash against it. Rap is now going to return to its “core” group of fans. I’m personally not a huge fan of rap music, but I will give respect to the real artists such as Kanye West, Dre, Game, Nas, etc. I’m personally a fan of indie music and I must say I’m pissed that mtv is destroying the music I love, just like they did to rap music.

After reading some of these posts, I'm beginning to wonder what some people consider music. Here's how wikipedia describes it:

"Music is an art form that involves organized and audible sounds and silence. It is usually expressed in terms of pitch (which includes melody and harmony), rhythm (which includes tempo and meter), and the quality of sound (which includes timbre, articulation, dynamics, and texture). Music may also involve generative forms in time through the construction of patterns and combinations of natural stimuli, principally sound. Music may be used for artistic or aesthetic, communicative, entertainment, or ceremonial purposes. The definition of what constitutes music varies according to culture and social context.
Within "the arts", music can be classified as a performing art, a fine art, or an auditory art form.
The broadest definition of music is organized vibration. There are observable patterns to what is broadly labeled music, and while there are understandable cultural variations, the properties of music are the properties of sound as perceived and processed by humans and animals (birds and insects also make music).
Music is a personal response to vibration since the same piece of music will affect people differently. Although it cannot contain emotions, it is sometimes designed to manipulate and transform the emotions of the listeners. For example, a piece of music created for a movie is primarily designed to heighten the emotion or mood of each scene in the film."

RAP is not a type music. Hip-Hop is a type of music. If you don't like the genre, don't listen to it. If you don't like the genre, don't say it 'sucks', because it doesn't. You just don't like it. There are people who like/don't like:
Hip-Hop
Pop
R&B
Country
Metal
Blues
Jazz
Classical
Etc...

So what? For every person who doesn't like a certain genre of music, there's a fan of that genre. Keep this in mind:
You don't pick the music you like, the music you like picks you. You like what you like and you don't like what you don't like. It's so simple.

Answer 5

Rap is dead its all materialistic lyrics and made for the clubs the best rap was in the 90's now its made to dance to im not gonna lie I like to dance to it but thats it because all its good for is the beats but where have the lyrics gone where has the rap that you could just chill to and relate to because it was about life and hard times its gone rap is dead plain and simple.Music period isnt all that great anymore what happened to the albums where you could just put the album in and let it go not anymore you skip past songs because nobody puts there heart into their music anymore its all about money and putting one song out that makes you the money the best music was 70's & 80's rock and 90's rap & r&b music is dead.Country is still alive and it always will be because thats where the heart is.Peace

Answer 6

I hate it. Its really just a conversation with some drums so they can call it music.
Its going to be like disco.....just disappears. THere are no rapping bands from the 80's and so on.
Not metal though.
Bands in metal have been around since the 80's.
Like Cannibal Corpse.
Napalm Death.
Etc.

But if you like that, I respect that. Its your music.
Just as long as you don't make fun of metal.

Answer 7

Hip Hop/Rap isn't what it change into once, because it has change into commercialised and formulaic (like maximum issues contained in the international of leisure). to have a good time with even as the scene change into terrific and further fairly useful messages, you ought to bypass decrease back to the late 80s and 90s - inspect human beings like Gang Starr, KRS a million, Rakim (of Eric B and Rakim repute) and clearly you pronounced P.E. already, who were enormous contained in the contributions to the scene.
