Aw come on.  You guys aren't even trying to find a rap song someone who doesn't like rap would like.

Well most of you...

You need some paperboy.

What's a discussion about hip hop without one of TV's greatest theme songs?






@zexen, listen to mine! I want to know how long you can stand it, to see how it compares to the others you've tried!

And just because you can't stand most rap doesn't mean the genre itself is worthless. It just means you haven't heard the good stuff yet. It's like knocking the opera because you've seen fat ladies parodied on TV, but have never been to the opera.

You just aren't familiar yet, so of course it all sounds the same, and at a quick glance the bad stuff outweighs the good. There are several subgenres within rap, and the genre has a rich history. Right now, most old people hate video games and think they're all trash, and if you want to hate entire genres/mediums without giving them a chance, you'll grow up to be just like those bastards. Also, random laundry lists of hip hop won't really help anybody, and this thread is just turning into a "my hip hop is better than yours" battle.

And if you prefer rock over rap, what do you think about classic rock/rap hybrid collaborations, like Run DMC and Aerosmith doing "Walk This Way" (link)?

Well, I stood stoically for 1:30 mins, but it was more because it was your band and not 'cause I liked it more

And songs like Walk This Way, well, I don't like them, but I can at least stand them somewhat (I mean, I don't want them to stop as soon as they start, but they aren't something I'd listen to)

What's a hip hop / rap thread without...

Embedding foils me again...

The video is not working.

Proving once again that the edit is faster than the reply.

 

Lame.

You're just mad because I made fun of Tales in those other 3-4ish threads.



@ Words of Wisdom

What does tales have to do with rap music. I said its lame because its lame. This is real rap

Pfft, the only good music Young Jeezy has ever been a part of was Usher's Love in this Club.

Yeesh g-value. Do you listen to any hip-hop that isn't heavily circulated on the radio? Or anything before the last five years?
