Rap - Page 2

Mariosrpg89 · 01-26-2005, 11:33 AM

I never liked Rap, and I admit I've said the same things about it. But there are songs that actually mean something and the swears arent just put there just to swear, but they're put there because of how the artist is feeling. I know many people that love the genre and even though I dont like it, I can see why people like it and relate to it. For my own feelings however, I have Emo and Rock...hehe.

You see guys:

The world don't move, to the beat of just one drum, what may be right for you, may not be right for some.

Shadow, how could you forget drugs?

***CaptHayfever*** · 01-27-2005, 02:07 AM

^^Now THAT'S what I'm talking 'bout, Willis! *grabs gigantic coffee mug*

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

For the most part any song with drugs usually references how when they were growing up, they didn't have lots of money, so a lot had to resort to sellin crack and weed to make money.

Though there are some that talk about sellin it now because the money doesn't come fast, like Baby D said:
"Workin' on my hustle game cause the rap [money] slow"

And some just do it, the weed part, I'm not to sure about the crack.

Another example:

[Hook]
Damn damn damn James

[Pat Brown]
Dickie shorts & Lincoln's clean
leanin' checking out the scene
Gangsta boys Bigga's lit ridin' out talkin' ****
Nig*a where you wanna go?
You know the club don't close 'til four
let's party 'til we can't no more
Watch out here come the folks

[Dre]
As the plot thickens it gives me the dickens
Reminiscent of Charles a li'l disco-tech
nestled in the ghettoes of Ni*gaville, USA
via Atlanta, Georgia a li'l spot where
young men & young women go to experience
they first li'l taste of the nightlife
Me? Well I've never been there, well perhaps once
But I was so engulfed in the Old "E"
I never made it to the door you speak of hard core
while the DJ sweatin' out all the problems
and the troubles of the day
While this fine bow-legged girl fine as all outdoors
lulls lukewarm lullabies in your left ear
competing with "Set it Off," in the right
But it all blends perfectly let the liquor tell it
"Hey hey look baby they playin' our song"
And the crowd goes wild as if
Holyfield has just won the fight
But in actuality it's only about 3 A.M.
and three niggas just don' got hauled
off in the ambulance [sliced up]
two niggas don' start bustin' [wham wham]
and one nigga don' took his shirt off talkin' 'bout
"Now who else wanna **** with Hollywood Court?"
It's just my interpretation of the situation

[Hook]

[Big Boi]
When I first met my SpottieOttieDopalicious Angel
I can remember that damn thing like yesterday
The way she moved reminded me of a Brown Stallion
horse with skates on smooth like a hot comb
on nappy ass hair
I walked up on her & was almost paralyzed
her neck was smelling sweeter
than a plate of yams with extra syrup
eyes beaming like four karats apiece just blindin' a nigga
felt like I chiefed a whole O of that Presidential
My heart was beating so damn fast
never knowing this moment would bring another
life into this world
Funny how **** come together sometimes [ya dig]
One moment you frequent the booty clubs &
the next four years you & somebody's daughter
raisin' y'all own young'n now that's a beautiful thang
that's if you're on top of your game
and man enough to handle real life situations [that is]
Can't gamble feeding baby on that dope money
might not always be sufficient but the
United Parcel Service & the people at the Post Office
didn't call you back because you had cloudy piss
So now you back in the trap just that, trapped
Go on and marinate on that for a minute

Basically a spottieottiedopaliscious is a lover, as Big's verse said: "Funny how **** come together sometimes......(read the rest please)"
and havin a kid then realizin "wow, I could barely afford myself, now I got a boy to take care of."

Not to rain on the parade or anything, but posting lyrics isn't going to change someone's view about a particular genre of music. Everybody likes their own thing, so I think it should be left at that.

Brandon2390 · 01-28-2005, 05:15 PM

I dont think Andre's trying to get anyone to like rap. He's more tryin to get people to realize it isnt just songs about drugs, sex, and violence, and that there is content. I could care less if you like rap or not, as long as you dont steriotype it.

Swordmaster Link · 01-28-2005, 05:21 PM

That's the stereotype I don't understand about rap, because nowadays you'll find drugs, sex, and alcohol in all genres of music.

DJ Ryan · 01-29-2005, 03:22 PM

^^ Thank You.
^ Yeah. I don't get that either, but at least that excuse is better than:
"OMG j00 CANNOT SPELL CRAP WITOUT RAP OMG1111forty"

supperdish · 01-29-2005, 05:37 PM

Okay, I realize my post WAS rather sloppy and quick. I was just really ticked off how everyone at school doesn't appreciate, I don't know, stuff that could hold more value.

My opinion.

Swordmaster Link · 01-29-2005, 05:55 PM

^ Such as?

Cornell J · 01-29-2005, 06:00 PM

All genres have quality, and value.

As AI said, it's what you like, no one genre is better or worse than another, I just want everyone to understand that
1. It aint just rap with songs about drugs, sex and alcohol
1a. I wonder how people claim that they can't understand a word in a rap song, yet supposedly know that there are drug references in every song.
2. There are many good rap songs if people'd take the time to hear them/acknowledge them
