Why do you like this stupid music called "rap"?
I think there is no melody and the words are so silly that they
make sick!!!!!!!!!! Let's listen to good music like Pink Floyd
or Beatles.I think you 'll be so surprise that you 'll finally
find your way.

Why do you have to post to this newsgroup when all you have is shit to say?
You can take your beatles-loving, wall-climbing, swiss-moca-having, idiotic
opinions and make your own melodies. Then when you come out with
your "song," we can all make fun of you like you have been making fun of
yourself.

Simple: if you don't like it, make like Prince and Gett Off! Find something
new to bite. Dog biscuits are looking chewy these days. Your mom seemed to
like eating them when she was pregnant with you.

Let's not have any responses to this post. The individual who sent it probably
never subscribes to this newsgroup so no point flaming s/he/it. Send personal
replies to the ijit if you wish -clog up its mail not ours.
At least s/he/it likes good music like the Beatles and Pink FLoyd, the
Grateful Dead, Van Wailin', Great big stinkin' cocks etc.

While the Beatles (correct spelling for the group) and Pink Floyd [and
other "Artists Of The Past" (tm)] are not exactly "Up To Date" (tm), they are
still worth listening to. It is their work that, IMHO and from my viewpoint,
set the stage for the acceptance of Rap as an art form (not that everyone
accepts it, but many who do accept it from this point of view--again, IMHO):
All the Beatles works from Revolver through Abbey Road expanded the
musical vocabulary of popular music and allowed the discussion of
noninterpersonal topics (I.E. everything outside the "I am (was, wanna be,
should be etc) in love with you/I feel great" brand of songwriting). This
translates into the social topics which nowadays ALL rap groups deal with in
their songwriting.
Pink Floyd turned the concept album into an art form. How many rap
concept albums exist? Quite a few, I would imagine. Some rap groups/artists
can't write a song unless it's chock full of meanings and concepts (Public
Enemy for one). And I'm pretty sure Pink Floyd can be connected (albeit very
indirectly) to PM Dawn through the sounds & effects used by them.
And as for the verbosity of rappers--Bob Dylan wrote lengthy, wordy prose
long before Rapper's Delight was put on wax.
Dead music? Maybe, but their influence continues. I'm sure that without
these bands, I would never have accepted rap as an art form.
>
> What social issues did the Beatles ever address ???
A) Listen carefully to "St. Pepper" and "the White Album" While social
issues are not directly issued, they are handled with a subtlety most rappers
would benefit from learning (IMHumbleO). George Harrison's output also takes
on spiritual topics; one area sorely missing from most rap (but then, rock
tended to ignore this area itself).
B) I don't remember Run DMC writing about social topics much before Back
From Hell. Does that mean they're not "True Rappers" (tm)?
C) Since when are groups SUPPOSED to address social issues? Not every
artist handles social issues; and some artists CAN'T handle social issues.
KRS-One takes on social issues like crazy. LL Cool J's topics are
securely amongst the stereotypical rap topics (I'm god, I a sex machine, etc.).
Does this mean KRS-One is a "Real Artist" whereas LL is "Dead?" "I Need Love"
is probably the most innovative rap song in existance [admittedly the direction
he took (i.e. I Need Love vols.2-7) proved a dead end; but other rappers have
taken the direction pointed by the song (softer sounds) to better effect].
I'm not saying "Don't listen to rap." I'm just saying don't be so ready
to bury the past as "Dead and useless"

Why is it necessary to reply to a RAP = SHIT post with a RAP != SHIT,
but your music is? I find this IS, IS NOT, IS, IS, IS NOT style of argument
a little less than constructive.

Face it, you (not everyone who posts, but a good number who do) are just demonstrating that you are as closeminded about other forms of music as ol' Guignol 1er,Neuchatel,Switzerland, it justso happens that it is a different
type of music.

First of all, you would be suprised at how many "hippies"
actually LIKE hip hop, Bohemian and political rap in particular.

Second, by dissin Pink Floyd, you are as guilty of stereotyping
music as the original poster/shmuck.

And finally, most of the good hip hop artists are into a wide
variety of music including hippie music. And if you think the Dead
are not rythmic, then you have never heard them.

Well, it's not your fault if you're not old enough to remember that their
first 12-inch was "It's Like That" and their second was "Hard Times,"
both concerning "social topics" (although "Hard Times" was a remake, so
they didn't write *all* of the lyrics). Another point of reference is
their part on Kurtis Blow's "8 Million Stories." "Wake Up," "You're
Blind," "Proud to Be Black," etc., not to mention "Sun City." I think
the titles are descriptive enough, posting the lyrics would be an
unnecessary waste of bandwidth.

Actually it was not really Pink Floyd or The Beatles that influenced
rap music, it was punk music, mainly the Sex Pistols. While most rap
musicians would rather have their toungues ripped out of their heads
than admit they were influenced by white musicians it was punk that was
the first music of rageful social protest that boiled up out of the
streets, it was the first music done with an attitude also and a lot of
these rap bands deive much of their outlaw attitude from such as The Sex
Pistols and much of their social protest from such groups as The Clash
(When Public Enemy was being formed Chuck D. even said he wanted to form
a rap group with the social conscience of The Clash.)

Those who ,can't create now want to expropriate. This man is ignorant and crazy.
Rap music is typical black protest music. I don't care wether you are talking
about African music (eg Fela ) or Reggea (redemption song - bmarley & the wai..) or any other music. Black music always addresses socio-economic issues. This
is true and has always been true. Some people might address the devil (hotel
california) or glorify drugs (Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds-LSD) Black music
always addresses the issues.

Bands like the beatles could never have influenced a blackman because their mes
sage was / is irrelevant to the black experience. The ghetto music of Bob Marleyhow ever found fertile music in the inner cities of America because the protest
ations their in immediately rang familiarly to the experiences of the typical
American ghetto dweller. Furhter more a common ethnic origin immidiately
makes the music more palatable.

I fore one find absolutely no merit in rock/metal. The music is disoriented and
appeals to the disorinted. Observe the hair styles of punks and their needlessly
anti social antics.

Lastly this kind of music exhibits no artistic merit whta so ever. It defines
noise- and thats all

God I admire you. I have tried for years to figure out why the punk movement
never quite got through to me. You made it all so clear to me now; it was their
hairstyles and needlessly anti-social antics that made their music so bad and
unapealing. I (and I think everyone else who enjoys reading alt. rap) would
appreciate many more well thought out, intelligent comments such as this from
such articulate and knowledgable individuals as yourself. Again, thank you.
