I disagree, my deluded friend.

Rap died around the time the glamarisation of guns, the 2nd classing of women, the incitement of murder of homosexuals and the attude as it currently is became the norm.

So can we charge Karl Rove with the murder of Rap music and send him to Gitmo or some other prison

I disagree, my deluded friend.

No, it was still kind of cool then. When an out of touch old Republican white dude starts thinking he can rap it's dead.

ahhh, that blessed moment when laughter and crying become one - thank you

Sentence him to a hunting trip with Dick Cheney.

Well it's just been resurrected, put through a crusher, stomped on for a while, cut into a thousand tiny pieces, sliced, lemon dripped on, eyes pulled out, genitals burnt, forced to admit to 9/11 and then killed again for good measure

It's the Guantanamo of rap

Fixed. :)

Rap is a clever musical art form that's being ravaged to pieces by image.

rap was a stillborn bastard to begin with.


The main problem with this video-aside from being unbearable-is that Rove has the strongest pimp-hand of them all,east or west coast.

It's the Guantanamo of rapHardly. The Guantanamo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DngCw53zD9o) of rap is pretty cool actually.

I knew - before I read the comments - that this had to feature a white person. Never could I have imagined the true horror though....

rap is the lowest form of music you could possibly think of.

if you can even call it music.

the day rap is gone will be the greatest day ever.

there is hope- disco seems to have gone away. and disco performers werent even shooting each other every other day.

:D Would love see him try to sing "American Idiot", good reason for listening to ROCK!

the day rap is gone will be the greatest day ever.Sounds like some weird form of music-based penis envy :p

But yea, it's mostly shit. Just like what passes for metal & punk on MTV is shit. The sad state of mainstream music has fuck-all to do with the genre itself though.

No, it was still kind of cool then. When an out of touch old Republican white dude starts thinking he can rap it's dead.
They didn't just kill it though. They killed it, buried it, then returned 6 months later, dug it up and totally munted* it.

It's the freakin' apocalypse.

That sort of thing should never be allowed to happen.

Yes well it has risen up as political astute, musically complex and empowering OUTSIDE the US.

And to be honest, the same can be said even of certain artists within the US. So hush now.

Hush, mouthbreather.

I can find rap even you would appreciate.

Aww Slaughterhouse five! Here, maybe this (http://men.punt.nl/upload/derek014s.jpg) or this (http://www.twaze.com/vanderlugt/hot%20chick%205.jpg) will help :p

You forgot to add:

Sinuhue likes Rap, therefore everyone who doesn't is uneducated.

:p

Hush, mouthbreather.

I can find rap even you would appreciate.

if you find rap music that i appreciate, chances are it is not considered rap by most rap listeners.

You forgot to add:

"In my uneducated opinion."

because everything you dont agree with must of been said by someone that isn't educated

Sinuhue likes Rap, therefore everyone who doesn't is uneducated.

:p

No. It's perfectly acceptable for people to not like rap.

What is not acceptable is pretending there is some sort of objective standard of the worth of various musical styles, with rap somewhere way down at the bottom.

Be honest...you just don't like rap. I'm good with that. I might still try to expose you to some that might change your mind, but no realy issues.

What you shan't be allowed to do without unleashing my wrath, is simply snobbishly dismiss an extremely varied genre based on your own prejudices. I don't like country music, for the most part, though I admit there are some songs worth listening too. My dislike does not mean that outside of my preferences exists a standard by which I can validly say, 'country music is worse than every other kind of music, na na na'.

So when you make statements of fact which are truly statement of subjective opinion, I shall reply in kind.

My dislike does not mean that outside of my preferences exists a standard by which I can validly say, 'country music is worse than every other kind of music, na na na'.Mine does. Country fucking sucks.

Sinuhue likes Rap, therefore everyone who doesn't is uneducated.

:p

nah- she makes believe she does to be "hip" .

because everything you dont agree with must of been said by someone that isn't educatedYeah, kind of how music you don't like must be the lowest form of music we can possibly think of.

Mine does. Country fucking sucks.

You realise that Cash is generally considered to be country music?

Oh, for the most part I dislike the genre. But when it's good, it's REALLY good.

nah- she makes believe she does to be "hip" .

I got plenty of hip, I don't need to pretend to have more.

I'm as big a fan of certain kinds of rap as I am of the blues, of classic rock, of classical music etc etc. Which is to say, I don't really care what genre it is...if it's a good song, it's a good song.

This music sucks. That music sucks. Fuck all that. All you can really say for certain is that you don't like one form of music or another. Music is subjective. You can never say objectively that one kind of music suck. Except for emo. That shit's just whining sounds to listen to as you scratch yourself with a razor blade.:D

Be honest...you just don't like rap. I'm good with that. I might still try to expose you to some that might change your mind, but no realy issues.
In general yes, I don't like rap. Occasionally I do, but it's uncommon.

Methinks you have him confused with somebody else, that was my first post in this thread...

Hush, mouthbreather.

Rap has come and gone with me, Neesika. I have already appreciated what I will.

The music I listen to comes wih my mood-which changes often and suddenly.

Today-I'll listen to country. Tommorrow could be classical or alternative. I have no idea.
I have well over a thousand cds now. I havent been in a rap mood for years.

Hell-I even have some Indian flute stuff even you'd appreicate. probably in the same box with enya and kitaro

Hahahahhhaaa, thanks for summing it up so succinctly, DC :D

Let me rephrase that to have the meaning I intended:

When one makes a statement of fact which is truly a statement of subjective opinion, I shall reply in kind.

When I first heard about Karl Rove "rapping," I immediately flashed back to Austin Powers and the Dr. Evil dance:

"Come on, Scott. I'm hip. I'm with it. Daka-daka daka-daka..."

You realise that Cash is generally considered to be country music?Case in point. Johnny Cash's 'music' was shite.

I'm laughing my ass off. Its very rural where moved to here- There are many Country stations on the radio.

the song "Hillbilly Deluxe" has a guy getting ready to go out, and "put on some smell good" -I love that !

That's pretty much how I listen to music as well. If you ever are in the mood to try out the kind of rap I like, let me know.

Case in point. Johnny Cash's 'music' was shite.

Alrighty then. Now that you've weighed in with your opinion, we can move on.

Speaking of hillbilly...some fantastic bluegrass out there too, which reminds me that I haven't listened to any in ages.

Oh yeah, on topic...who the hell is this Karl Rove and why is he allowed to gesticulate like a rabid orangutan while sputtering inanities in public?

That's pretty much how I listen to music as well. If you ever are in the mood to try out the kind of rap I like, let me know.

funny,but I think when we meet,I'll be in the mood for Rammstein-Du Hast-blasting,so I dont have to hear you.

Hes a man with a strong pimp-hand and he can smack the bitch down better than any of the "rappers". be-yotch!

Hahahahaa...I rather thought you'd have me gagged to take care of that problem, but if that particular music turns your crank, who am I to argue?

You know, it's sort of a disability to be an old, conservative white guy like Rove. You just can't be cool, no matter how you try.

If this video does anything, it should serve as notice to the young, conservative white guys out there. Find a better role model...please.

Alrighty then. Now that you've weighed in with your opinion, we can move on.Like I told you, it's not just my opinion. It's an objective standard. But by all means, let's move on. All this talk of country makes me want to throw up.I dont agree.[insert false sympathetic comment]

So Nees/Sin/whatever you wanna be called these days, why don't you link us to some of that fab rap? I'm trying to avoid finishing my work and I need excuses!

EDIT: You're not seriously calling Rove a Conservative, are you?! Damn girl, I know Conservatives who'd punch your face in for that kind of malicious slander :p

MES YEUX! SA PIQUE! ARGH!!!!
if you don't speak french:
MY EYES! IT BURNS! ARGH!!!!
I prefer Disturbed and System of a Down myself. Never like rap, even before that...

The most venemous feminist, homie, she ain't soft.
You give her trouble then she might cut your head off.
Or something that you like to think's the best.
She'll blow big holes in your chest.

She says she gotta cuz she says a lotta ladies won't
She says she gotta cuz she says a lotta ladies don't
She says she gotta cuz she says a lotta ladies can't
She says she gotta cuz she knows a lotta ladies
romance the thoughts of giving men their own medicine.
Electrocute 'em light 'em up like Con Edison,
she got no fear five rings in her ear,
holes in her nose, way-out clothes.
Living life to the fullest buck shot and bullets.
Triggers she'll pull it, Earth she wanna rule it.

Maybe she will cuz she's quick to kill.
The city lights make her dresses tight, yes she bites.
You never know where she'll come from.
She walks softly but she carries a big gun.



If hearing Ice-T rap like that doesn't make you freaking chuckle, then you are beyond help.

Like I told you, it's not just my opinion. It's an objective standard. *bitch slaps ya*
So Nees/Sin/whatever you wanna be called these days, why don't you link us to some of that fab rap? I'm trying to avoid finishing my work and I need excuses! Okay, here's my fav...Los Orishas (http://www.orishasthebest.com/Index2.html), based in France, from Cuba. It's in Spanish, sorry :D Go under Multimedia, Audio, and try out the album 'El Kilo'. Try out a few tracks....it's a mixture of live music and mixing, and one of the members is a stricly traditional singer of the 'son', while the other two mostly rap.


EDIT: You're not seriously calling Rove a Conservative, are you?! Damn girl, I know Conservatives who'd punch your face in for that kind of malicious slander :p
He's a US citizen, isn't he? Ah fuck, you're all conservative. Even when you call yourselves liberal.

By the way, I'm not kidding. I have no idea who this wack ass muthah is.

Kehehehee, sounds like someone got kicked in the nuts for his more traditional take on femininity :D

Hahahahaa...I rather thought you'd have me gagged to take care of that problem, but if that particular music turns your crank, who am I to argue?

It would match the mood perfectly.

*bitch slaps ya*Mommy, mommy! The bad old woman's after me!

Though you or some other NSGer linked me to 'em a while back already. And I like the Emigrante album better to be honest.He's a US citizen, isn't he? Ah fuck, you're all conservative. Even when you call yourselves liberal.Who? Me, Rove or the Conservatives I know? The answers are no, yes and no, respectively. I agree with your assessment of the Dems though, or somewhat anyway. Far closer to being conservative than any Repubichair I've ever heard of. By the way, I'm not kidding. I have no idea who this wack ass muthah is.I'm green with envy. I'm pretty sure most people would rather sodomise a purcupine than know who Carl Rove is. I know I would.

So, more music comming? - And notice I said music, so don't try to sneak any vile country shit in.

I like! Though you or some other NSGer linked me to 'em a while back already. And I like the Emigrante album better to be honest. Yup, that was me, since they are nice enough to have their music up and easily accessible. Emigrantes is a great album too...well their first one is also fantastic...for some reason El Kilo just resonantes with me more.

I like the Spaniard, La Mala (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mala_Rodriguez) Rodriguez (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Mala_Rodr%C3%ADguez), though with her, sometimes it's more touch and go, since some songs just suck. I particularly like when she starts in with that rough, flamenco style voice. There are some videos on Youtube...oh, here's one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-1N33kp3-g) that I'm actually not familiar with (and can't listen to at the moment, so may or may not suck).

I'll keep poking around to see if I can find more musical examples.

Edit: Here's one video (http://www.youtube.com/verify_age?next_url=/watch%3Fv%3DhNB6DupFyY4) from Manau, a French rap group that integrates celtic music (weird huh?). I quite like them.

It would match the mood perfectly.

Like I said, who am I to argue?

The OP and many posters on this thread seem to be confusing the statement "Gangsta rap isn't seling as well as it used to in the 90s" with "rap is dead".

Yup, that was me, since they are nice enough to have their music up and easily accessible. Emigrantes is a great album too...well their first one is also fantastic...for some reason El Kilo just resonantes with me more.I guess now would be the time for some shameless plugging of radioblogclub.com? :p I like the Mala Rodríguez though with her, sometimes it's more touch and go, since some songs just suck. I particularly like when she starts in with that rough, flamenco style voice.Yea, I've heard her before. Can't say I like it though. It's just.. I dunno.. Boring.There are some videos on Youtube...oh, here's one that I'm actually not familiar with (and can't listen to at the moment, so may or may not suck).Don't worry, it sucks.I'll keep poking around to see if I can find more musical examples.Please do. I'll be more or less parked in this chair 'til morning, so feel free to ease my boredom while I try to avoid getting any work done.Edit: Here's one video from Manau, a French rap group that integrates celtic music (weird huh?). I quite like them.That's pretty strange. I.. No, it's just strange. I'll go listen to it again, see what I think.

The OP and many posters on this thread seem to be confusing the statement "Gangsta rap isn't seling as well as it used to in the 90s" with "rap is dead".

Um, no. I never mentioned gangsta rap. I was commenting on the fact that rap is so mainstream now that even Karl Rove is getting into the act.

american politics are so much more entertaining than ours :(

The OP and many posters on this thread seem to be confusing the statement "Gangsta rap isn't seling as well as it used to in the 90s" with "rap is dead".

There's no confusion whatsoever. When balding, bespectacled white men in suits try rhyming onstage, well...

Um, no. I never mentioned gangsta rap. I was commenting on the fact that rap is so mainstream now that even Karl Rove is getting into the act.
When has part of rap music ever not been 'mainstream'? There are parts of all musical genres that are popular, and parts that are listened to only by relatively small cliques.

Though Rove's attempts at rap are particularly soul-crushing, and your anouncement that 'rap is oficially dead' was most probably said in jest, the unenlightened comments that followed seem to assume that all rap music and all of hip-hop was about guns, bling and bitches.

As Neesika said, music is subjective and of course it's perfectly reasonable not to like certain music. But to mischaracterise a genre with all the trappings of one of its sub-genres is just idiotic; and it seems to happen to rap more than anything else, with the possible exception of electronic music. I don't see anyone asuming that the entire genre of rock is all about wearing black eyeliner and singing songs about lost girlfriends, or that the entire genre of country is filled with Garth Brooks-a-likes.

While that is pretty bad you have clearly never seen Denny Blaze in his attempt to rap.

Rap died in the early 90s fool.

Back then, it was actually musical with lyrics that made sense.
