yeah, you could be a hardcore rocker like that dude from static-x and prey on 14 year old rocker girls. [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img] Thats how rock stars are hardkor!!! righteous!!

i dont like or dislike music based on the artists, i like/dislike based on the music... and if you ask me, rap isnt music. I'm not a "hardcore rock guy" either btw, i'm a 60s-70s rock guy, zeplin, van halen, beatles, rolling stones, three dog night, simon and garfunkle, lynyrd skynyrd, monkees, paul revere and the raiders, and all those other oldies bands.

Calm down, I'm just poking fun. My point is that all types of music have some drama involved. Hell I'm sure Yanni and Yoko Ono have had their fair share, its just that rap is more prevailent because its very popular and a lot of people actually give a rats *** about rappers lives.

no, its cuz other than rappers, most artists "drama" doesnt involve shooting other artists... when yoko ono broke up the beatles no one was shot... when van halen broke up no one was shot. paul simon didnt shoot art garfunkle when they broke up, non of the eagles died when they went their seperate ways....

because you're talking about in the before time when people actually had something called "class"

you trippin' man... the Game's CD was tight, still is. like akuma said though, it helps having 50, dre, and em on your tracks

Rappers are all about image nowadays, it really doesn't seem that hard to string a bunch of "Unf unf yeah yeah yeah werd bling blings" together and call it a new hit rap song. Especially when other people make the beats for you.

At least with rock/metal bands someone is playing the music on a musical instrument. There is a certain amount of talent that goes into playing and writing coherent music that is far beyond the ability that most rappers possess. I'd love to see a rapper even make a lame 2-chord song that actually used a guitar.

im soooooo f'n tired of eminem. its the same thing on every cd. something about his mom or wife. a song about another big star he doesnt like(jackson,reeves,etc) then he has a song about his kid. its the same crap over and over. **** i can make a song about someone i hate. a rapper with good skills would be like... Nas. he IS the best rapper. im not a Nas fan by any means(im a Three 6 mafia,mike jones & paul wall,and other south rappers kinda person myself.. along with with my older rock [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img] i like a variety) but he is as lyrically sound as they come.

I appreciate all forms of music, is rap less artistic as far a musicaly? I can see the argument behind that. But how many people can actually rap themselves. It does take a talent, could 50 cent sing on broadway, um I think not. Could a broadway musician cross over to rap, lol I think not.

My point is whether or not, you personally like a style of music, you can't say a certain genre of music sucks. Solely based on personal bias.

Plus the mainstream rap community there for awhile was getting a bit soft. It's just cycling back again. With the shooting, people dissing other people, and this new blood of rappers. I can see things escalating fast. Whether for real or for publicity.

3-6 Mafia is sweet. Its funny stuff! Slob on my knob like corn on the cob. hahahahah

[silvachris1]

How many songs can a rapper make about bangin' some ho, and drinkin, or their car?
