What music do you like?

[Term-X 7,891]

You should listen to the other stuff of Korn. So they did a song with nas big whoop. My boyfriend is a massive Korn fan and He doesn't like this song at all. Rap just annoys me as its always the same, bust a cap in yo ass, I'm angry We get treated as slaves and my bruv died in a shoot out blah blah. I gave away all that toot years ago and let my true style out instead of following the crowd.

. It's just like Cj said imo. Rock music doesn't have meaningless lyrics weather its heavy or soft. And to compare to Shakespear is laughable imo.

Just my opinion.

Linguistic professors disagree with you. Are you more qualified to judge lyricism than a linguistic professor? ..

The anti-intellectualism on this forum is terrifying.

It's not that's the stuff you're made to hear. Also known as mainstream. I'll send you some great rap tunes some time later, which will have no such lyrics at all. They''ll be positive and inspiring and tell a great story - like all music does. Trust me

Example..

Of course Rock has meaningless lyrics, pretty much every genre of music does in some songs.

Rap has some amazing lyrics and no way is it all the same.

If you actually compared the lyrics to some of the best rap songs and rock songs you will probably find they're pretty much telling the same story...Love, drugs and violence.

Oasis, the jam, stone roses, the smiths, blur, the clash, beatles, madness.

[eldo 868]

Love, drugs and violence.

By violence you mean gangs and that or racism, being discriminated against, poverty?

By violence I mean...Violence - An act of aggression.

Lampard’s bitch has discredited the intellectuals who wrote a book hailing a rapper as a modern day Shakespeare. These are linguistic professors (literally, do the research) who have more qualifications than you can fit in the Atlantic ocean. These individuals study literature for a living and have gained recognition from doing so.

Lampards Bitch & CJ Revo’s personal opinion is founded upon ignorance, which makes it invalid.

Also what annoys me with rap hip-hop what ever you want to call it, the racism card comes up which annoys the hell out of me. I should of really put R&B as in proper Rythem and BLUES eg John Lee Hooker, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Fats Domino, Bo Diddley and people like that.

Alot of the all time greatest lyrics are from Blues or rock for instance,

John Lennon - Imagine

George Harrision - While my guitar gently weeps

Bob Dylan - Blowin in the wind (infact any Bob Dylan song)

Queen - Show must go on

All of Meat loafs albums Bat out of Hell 1-3 telling the story by Jim Steinman of growning up with love, lust and lost. Superb albums.

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood

Fleetwood Mac - Man of the world

Elvis Presley - In the Ghetto

Pink Floyd - Wish you were here

Led Zep- Stairway to Heaven

Procol Harum - Whiter shade of pale

There are loads but thats what I can think of now. But these songs are heroic and by no means meaningless. I do apologise I should of put not all rock songs are meaningless :-)

Excuse me? I have stated I have listen to rap and hip hop and even owned things collectivly through my brother as well and both of us in fact have given away a huge amount of tapes and cds because we actually realise we didnt like any of it and we were following the crowd. I followed the crowd the stop getting bullied no joke. So I hardly find my opinion being ignorant. I could say the same about you and your ignorance towards mine and CJ's tastes but we dont we accept that you dont like it. And just because someone wrote a book doesnt mean to say I have to agree with it. Some one decided to write the bible but i think thats a load of shit too

It is all about personal choice. Guitar, bass and drums always turn me on. I never found that inspirition from hip hop or rap. Honestly I do not consider those as a music. I play guitar and have some idea on music theory. I never match my musical taste with rap, hip hop or any kind of cheap modern day pop. When I listen to Jimmy Page, Joe sat, steve Vai, John Petrucci , Tom Morello then I dont need any rap or hip hop.

Flea is the best bassist. He makes RHCP special for me. And he plays trumpet too, top musician.

How can you 'think' the views of linguistic proffesors are a load of shit. You don't have the required biological organ to criticize it.

The guy who wrote the book analyzing Nasir Jones's lyricism was an intellectual who has earned the title as a linguistic professor. Follow the crowd? Lmao, we all know what crowds listen to = Commercial, Mainstream Hip Hop. Which once again leaves you in no position to criticize 'real' rap music in which you have never listened to.

I respect all music genres, prove otherwise. I find your ignorance offensive, which is why i'm confronting it head on with facts. Oh, and congratulations on ignoring LDN Blue & We hate scouse's views, another sign of your sheer ignorance when confronted with truth.

I partly did comment on we hate scouse for apologising and saying i should of said not all rock lyrics are meaningless and I didnt feel the need to respond to LND.

You must be blind because I clearly wrote I have listened to rap music of your taste and I just do not like it anymore, and I find it pointless for me. Oh and because a professor says so I must definatly agree? No I dont think so. I just do not like it I find blues and rock more soulful and meaningful and even the music is put together better with more craft. And I have even read some of Nasir Jones lyrics this morning and not inspiring at all. and to say I haven't the required biological oragan to criticize is just god damn rude. I accept that you love this music and are really into it. I havent said you are wrong I just simply said I think its crap and I dont see a point in it anymore.

Everybody has different tastes in music.it's what makes us individuals and unique.

My music preference is mainly 90's Britpop.Bands such as the Stone Roses,The Verve,Oasis,Blur and too many more to mention.These bands revolutionised British music in a way not seen since the 1980's when The Smiths was the only unique British band we had to offer.

Back then it was 'cheesey pop' and Michael Jackson.

To the present day i quite like the sound of Kings of Leon,Arctic Monkeys,The Killers,Arcade Fire etc.Very talented bands that will no doubt grace the music festivals this summer in the same way the Roses,Oasis,Radiohead did back in the 1990's.

My Van Goths ear is to rap and hip hop.Doesn't mean that they're not talented,it's just not my cup of tea
