Who hates Rap?

[redshirt27se]

Old post, but it never hurts to tell the world once again that rap is crap. It's just not skillful music. 90% of the time there are no instruments and everything is programmed. Lets see... No real musicians playing instruments, everything is synthetic and programmed, and most of it is focused on sex and crime. Sure sounds like Britney and Simpson-style music to me.

you're an idiot. what do you think beats are made from? instruments. if it's so god damn easy why don't you make a beat and post it up here. the top producers in rap make anywhere from $100-300K for 1 beat. the neptunes record themselves playing their own instruments and then create beats from those recordings.

you don't like rap? cool.. but don't act like you know anything about the genre you profess to hate.

Dude! Drummers are people that hang out with musicians, regardless of musical style. Drummers are not musicians. Hence, creating a rhythmic pattern does not equal music.

*It's a long standing joke amongst musicians. *


I thought rap died out a few years ago actually. There hasn't been a major rap show here in years, but we get major rock/metal acts almost weekly which continually sell out our new arena and stadium.

I just saw these guys (TSO) last night and they put on a spectacular show.

most people who hate on rap only hate it because of what the radio plays. listen to some real hip hop that actually has a message and solid production and you might think different.

Thank you, I'm glad I didn't have to read through this entire thread and not have anyone point out this distinction. Big difference between rap and hip hop IMO
