Rap by any definition cannot be called music. Rap artists rarely if ever come up with the beats or lyrics of their very own songs, and the sole purpose of the genre is to perpetuate and justify the uneducation and immorality of the people who listen and recite it like mindless baboons.

of course they're baboons - just look at them - they've only just left the jungle recently

"I just gave you this neg rep and i didnt sign it. I gave you this for no other reason than to piss you off. no harm no foul"

I think this anonymous negger deserves some good rep....................but I dunno who it is :(
 
So that would be an AT3035 as the best rap vocal mic? No, wait...
 
Moving past the incoherent & idiotic ramblings posted by the brain-dead duo & kindergarten drop-outs "recordingho" & "Lil'PenisHead",......ridiculing & denying the validity of any form of musical interpretation, expression &/or genre, only serves to limit one from learning, experiencing & appreciating an integral part of the "universal language" called music, interpretated in a different & unique way. Though most have align themselves according to their musical preference & taste, thier are those who appreciate the good in all forms of music.

Peep this;.........if the 3 basic tenets/ingredients together or separately comprises music...Harmony,Melody &/or Rhythm....why would the rap performer delivering a syncopated, lyrical flow over rhythm, be judged diff'ly than the melodious & harmonious sound of bagpipe quartet? Should Metal be considered far superior performance-wise than Country-Western or is it fair that some consider it to be nothing more than loud noise?. Does Far-Eastern flows take a backseat to the upbeat flavor of Tejano? Does Modern Jazz pronounce itself as the better of Folk, Funk,Chamber or World?

It's still ALL MUSIC!

I'm glad I've been exposed to almost every form of musical style out there. I've had the pleasure jamming on Folk,Rock,Blues, Jazz, Disco, Latin, Rap, you name it! I've heard the best & the worst in all genre's, but have learn to appreciate ALL music as a whole!
It's just sad that some of you refuse to accept, acknowlegde or appreciate the value and importance that all endeavors of musical contributions help in making our lives a lil' bit easier.

Mannnn, don't hate; appreciate!

Peace.

I just had a revelation! Pardon me if it seems stupid, but I got to thinking about rap and it's origins and realized that rapping basics are spoken word to whatever music background you have, and that's it's in time with a beat and generally without melody.

Does anyone here remember C. W. McCall?? There was a big hit in the 70's called "Convoy". It was about truckers and was quite a novelty. The chorus was sung, but the rest was spoken word in time with the music! It was by all standards what we would classify as rap today!

The Sugar Hill Gang's "Rappers Delight" is credited with being the first rap single in 1979, but "Convoy" came out in 1976. It was a RAP! It was country music, and a big hit, but it was rap none the less. If you haven't heard it, look it up or listen to it!

"Was the dark of the moon, on the sixth of June
In a Kenworth, pullin' logs
Cabover Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin' hogs
We 'as headin' fer bear on I-One-Oh
'Bout a mile outta Shaky-Town
I sez Pig-Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck
An' I'm about to put the hammer on down"


Wouldn't it be completely ironic if one of the first rap tunes actually had it's root in Country and not Rock or R&B???

Let's bring the world back together!

Something to think about...

This world we temporarily live in need more folks like you brutha'!! :)


Oh yeah!! I def'ly remember "Convoy"! That was a cool lil' diddy!

Kool DJ Herc from the So.Bronx, NY, is widely considered as the "Founding Father" of modern Rap/Hip-Hop (circa 1975), Rap (or the rhythmic style of the spoken word over music) can be traced as far back as the 30's/40's. Renowned jazz icons such as Ella Fitzgerald, Cab Calloway and Sammy Davis Jr. incorporated "scat" or "scatting" which is the the technique of using a syncopated rhythmic phrasing of vocal sounds & patterns in place of melodic lyrical content, much like how rap is now( Check out the legend Scatman Crothers). "Scat" is considered by many jazz aficionados as the "original seed" of rap. In the 50's/60's, "scatting" lost it's appeal as musical trends proceeded to a new & different direction where songs from most genre's were produced and marketed to appeal to the young. In an off-the-wall way, "scat" found survival via morphing into "spoken word" via disc jockeys on radio during this period. Alan Freed, Jocko, Wolfman Jack and Frankie Crocker to name a few,
utilized a bar or 2 (or more) of poetic, lyrical flows to hype records, concerts,
whatever leading to the emergence of Kool Herc.

Not limited to only jazz, RAP can trace it's roots in Country/Western ("Swing your partner docey-do....!"), Rock (AeroSmith's "Walk This Way" and perf'd by Run-DMC helped introduce many to the world of Rock),Latin Salsa, Reggae,
Africkano (Check out early releases of Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers) amongst many. Jazz icon Herbie Hancock used turntabilist, DJ DST, on his hit joint "ROCKIN' IT". Public Enemy did a collab with Metallica and so forth.
Eminem won an OSCAR for "8-Mile"! ""Hard for a Pimp" won an Oscar last year!

Like all genre's, gangsta' rap is just 1 of the many forms/styles within' rap music. Thier are many alterna-rap artists (Common, Kanye, Q-tip, Roots etc) that are maligned by the retarded actions perp'd by a few yet.

While I'm not a TRUE FAN of rap (I prefer the really "old-skool-70's" stuff where it was all about the party and having a good time), rap deserves the recognition and respect as being an integral part of the entire musical spectrum that many find satisfaction with just as similar to those who find the same in classical.

You don't have to like it or even listen to it; just give it it's just props.
 
Now that is great insight!! Thanks, and I'm glad someone here knows their stuff! It would help more folks understanding if they'd just educate themselves a little more.
 
For a while, this thread was like a car wreck, I kept telling myself not to look, but sure enough I just had to...

I saw this and thought of "a boy named Sue" by Johnny Cash. Very similar to a rap.
