I have a extensive musical taste, I like country and black metal, I guess this can explain how extensive is, but, I'll list some genres I really like:

Indie, new age, rock, rock'n'roll, alternative, electronic (dubstep, psytrance, drum and bass, 8bit music, chiptunes), black, thrash and death metal (this one from melodic to brutal), classical (Haydn, Beethoven, Mozart, Mendelsohn, Chopin, others); power and folk metal; some Japanese bands and artists like Inugami Circus-dan (犬神サーカス団), Akiko Shikata (志方あきこ) and others; oh, I almost forgot, some Russian rock artists too, like: Сплин (Splean) and Zемфира (Zemfira); blues (Robert Johnson mainly) , jazz, a bit of soul sometimes; I guess it's enough.

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.

The anti-intellectualism on this forum is terrifying.

For someone who is supposedly intelligent, you do come up with some utter bollocks. You do realise what one man says is only one man's opinion? Another linguistic professor who reads Shakespeare, Pope, Kipling et al. may completely disagree.

You need to realise that just because someone disagrees with you or something you believe in does not make them wrong. Pleb.

:D

I just don't understand why you must publicly slate it, if you don't listen to it.

You will never see me bang on about how rock music contains simplistic meaningless lyrics. Because I somewhat respect music genres, that I don't regularly listen to. Because I haven't heard the expansive array of artists in that genre. This basic principle should be adopted by anyone discrediting rap music. Especially if you don't have a vast knowledge of the genre, and only ever hear the occasional commercial mainstream shite on mtv.

C.J Revo you might like this, it's the modern day shakespeare aka Nas & Korn...

Modern day Shakespeare? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Now is the winter of our discontent

Made glorious summer by this sun of York;

And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house

In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.

Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths;

Our bruised arms hung up for monuments;

Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings,

Our dreadful marches to delightful measures.

Grim-visaged war hath smooth'd his wrinkled front;

And now, instead of mounting barded steeds

To fright the souls of fearful adversaries,

He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber

To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.

But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks,

Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass;

I, that am rudely stamp'd, and want love's majesty

To strut before a wanton ambling nymph;

I, that am curtail'd of this fair proportion,

Cheated of feature by dissembling nature,

Deformed, unfinish'd, sent before my time

Into this breathing world, scarce half made up,

And that so lamely and unfashionable

That dogs bark at me as I halt by them;

Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace,

Have no delight to pass away the time,

Unless to spy my shadow in the sun

And descant on mine own deformity:

And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover,

To entertain these fair well-spoken days,

I am determined to prove a villain

And hate the idle pleasures of these days.

Plots have I laid, inductions dangerous,

By drunken prophecies, libels and dreams,

To set my brother Clarence and the king

In deadly hate the one against the other:

And if King Edward be as true and just

As I am subtle, false and treacherous,

This day should Clarence closely be mew'd up,

About a prophecy, which says that 'G'

Of Edward's heirs the murderer shall be.

Dive, thoughts, down to my soul: here

Clarence comes.

That's Shakespeare, if Nas can rap that in correct iambic pentameter I'll be impressed :D

I generally don't listen to pop as such, but my favourite since childhood has been Michael Jackson.

My most diverse genre is metal, I listen to many bands from there, favourites include: Metallica, Paradise Lost, Caliban, Dagoba, Marilyn Manson, Anathema, Rammstein, Oomph!, SOAD... etc. Porcupine Tree is also class, not exactly metal, but whatever.

Also listen to harder grind and gore: Whitechapel, Anal Cunt, Napalm Death, I Declare War, Eyehategod, Extreme Noise Terror, Carcass, Cannibal Corpse, Autopsy... and some bands which would get me banned if I spelled them :P

From rap/hip-hop I like: Eminem, Bad Meets Evil, 2Pac, Cypress Hill, Immortal Technique is also good... some Biggie Smalls and Jay-Z songs are good, but I haven't listened to them thoroughly.

And old-school stuff like The Beatles, AC/DC, Alice In Chains, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd...

^ Like I said in the previous post, Linguistic professors analyzed and hailed Rappers as modern day Shakespeares. These are intellectuals, individuals who excelled through their fields and have earned the titles as linguistic professors. I image you've only ever listened to commercial mainstream r&b, that's not rap music.

lets see if the rappers last as long as Shakespeares work has.

could you print out some of the lyrics so we can compare it to some of Shakespeares.

Illmatic is a good place to start, that album has been subjected to academic analysis. Duke University have a study class for that album too. Professor Mark Anthony Neal & Bucknell University's Professor Dr. James Peterson broadcasted that class on youtube. Proffessor Eric Dyson and various linguistic professor's wrote the book 'born to use mics', which would also be a good point to start off, if you wish to compare.

I'd also recommend rapgenius.com, where they explain and meticulously critique rap as poetry.
