Because it obviously gets a rise out of you.

I don't give to smurfs about what anyone says, these two for the most part have WAY more interesting, fresh and intelligent lyrics then 99.9 to all Rock/metal/ whatever. if you actually listen and study what they actually say, it's just frigging amazing.

No they don't. Immortal Technique is so much better than both of those people, and I don't even like rap.

No, it doesn't get a rise out of me. It's just plain stupid. If I were to post a thread about a band I liked i would get people agreeing saying yeah I like them or whatever. But if you post ANYTHING about rap a good 60% of the posts are "LOLz RAP SUX AND U SUX 2" bull. It's just stupid.

Well, that's because the majority of rap does indeed suck.

2Pac is good, Immortal Technique is good. I can't be arsed to come up with more.

Saying that all rap is about guns and bitches is like saying that all rock is like Fallout Boy or whatever crap is popular today.

"I really like Pink Floyd."
"What genre are they?"
"Rock."
"Lame. All rockers ever talk about is girlfriends leaving them. What a ty genre."

Rule of thumb: Anything that is popular is likely absolute crap because the masses have no taste, so don't judge the genre on that. For every Lil' Jon there's a Mos Def, and trust me, the differences are enormous.

These guys make more money then you could in your whole life and all they have to do is rhyme words.

ya...they get money for bein dickheads....

and the only technique in rap i ever heard of was swallowin....
but seriously...its liek those people on reality tv....they are all famous for stupid shi t..like....."i sat in the chair of hugh jackman...."thats an example...and...yoou do know that the only music worth listenin to is the kinda music where the people can actually kinda play their instruments........

[Prancing Mad]

If what you rap about is important, than mainstream rap tells me that having money, stealing, being surrounded by promiscuous women, and thinking too much of myself is important. Mainstream rap blows, it's awful and has nothing of interest. If it isn't mainstream rap, then it might at least have a worthwhile message, in which case, I can respect it. Or if it actually has interesting musical phrases in it, then I might respect it, but too much Muchmusic rap is awful. Actually Much music anything is usually not very good, but they do get lucky once every few months with shows like the wedge and stuff.

CHECK MY THEORY! Whatever music is popular at the time will begin to suck. Let me explain. People find an awesome band of a certain genre (ex, though you may not agree, Alexisonfire). Suddenly marketting guys see this. So they find more bands that roughly resemble them, at the very least in look. Suddenly you have an over-saturated market with tons of awful bands that make the genre suck, because they're just not talented. And people eat it up 'cause it's being fed to them. Therefore rap has sucked for awhile (in general) and emo/punk whatever yo uwanna call it, is beginning to suck awful as well (in general)

QFT, nicely said Stu. Yeah I love these threads, you always get a bunch of people sitting on their high horse mouthing off about this and that and just showing everyone else just exactly how ignorant they are. It's really quite amusing

I very much agree with both of these comments. It's funny, the people who mouthed off about rap in this thread i'm sure are the people who don't know anything about the genre.

If people actually took the time to read the lyrics from people like Ice Cube, 2pac and Eminem, you would find they have a hell of a lot more meaning than most mainstream music.

EDIT: IMO
