EddieShouldHaveListened Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 (edited) I don't listen to a lot of rap but two groups that i highly recommend are The Roots and Jurassic 5. I also recommend the mash-up albums like: The Grey Album which is the beatle's white album and jay-z's black album Enter The Magical Mystery Chamber which is beatles songs mixed with Wu-Tang -this is one of my favorite mashups of all time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG7njZjtFjw Viva La Hova (coldplay vs. jay-z's american gangster) ... and yes there is one mash-up album with zeppelin songs American Zeppelin (zep songs vs. jay-z's american gangster) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvtZVtZ4YJw&feature=fvw http://djdocrok.wordpress.com/free-downloads/ so if you're open to music then i suggest checking those out enter the magical mystery chamber is incredibly well-made also, if you listen to the right groups and the right rappers, there is some excellent poetry in the songs Edited April 1, 2010 by EddieShouldHaveListened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zep 4 Life Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I think too many people group rap into a simple grouping of songs that are played on the radio. In fact most of those songs are quite different than the other 10-15 tracks on the album.. Like any other genre of music there are talented artists, and there are less talented artists. To say there is no depth, or meaning behind ANY rap song is ludacris. If you want to hear some talented rappers that don't really ever get heard on the radio check out Talib Kweli, Common, The Roots, and Immortal Technique. For more popular rappers that have some good stuff there are Nas, 2Pac (can get repatitive, but a lot of soul), and even Eminem. They express their emotions with complex rhyming schemes to (usually)an electronic beat. Does this mean that it's not real music? I don't think so. I did leave off every rapper that has come out in the last decade or so because Led Zeppelin has tilted my music tastes in another direction. But I think to dismiss rap as a genre completely ignorant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think to dismiss rap as a genre completely ignorant. I don't listen to radio stations that play rap, however these days, it's very hard if not imposable to avoid hearing rap. I quite sure that those cars that go by with the rap blaring out the windows just may be playing some of this ingenious BS that is often brought into the argument when the merits of rap are being debated. I have no problem with any of the words in rap, after all my favorite band recorded a song that was originally called "Star Fucker". It's just that rap sounds so dork-ass and then when you get these guys who think it makes them look tough, it becomes laughable. I'm surprised that the comedians have not capitalized on rap and hip-hop fashion, as it could be just as hilarious has the political jokes.

toscano Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Good. Is it good that the earth is round? I don't have a horse in the race of "what shape is the earth ?", it is what it is, and it doesn't MATTER what shape I THINK it is. Who cares what you think? About the Earth's shape ? Ummm, maybe you but other than that, no one. What's your point ? (rhetorical) The fact is that the earth IS round, whether or not you think that theory has merit. If it's a FACT it's not a theory. What you originally said that got this whole debate started was, "Can't stand it myself, but that's not to say it has any less artistic merit than any other form of music/art/entertainment." I never used the word good. You're the one who started saying "good," probably when you realized that defending the artistic merit of rap would not end well for you. "not end well for you" ???? ROFLMAO!!!! Why not ? Would the Led-Zeppelin-fans-against-rap send one of their henchmen around to do some physical damage to me with an authentic jimmy page replica bow ? See, what's flying WAY above your head here is that people have different tastes and opinions. Someone with many years of music theory and classical training can look down their nose at Zeppelin just as some here look down on rap, but really no one would give a flying fuck because it all boils down to personal tastes and opinions. If you feel your opinions are less worthy than some others' because you don't have the same musical theory training then that's your self-esteem issue and nothing more. If someone likes Rap, so be it, good for them if it's what makes them happy. If they hate Zeppelin, fine, their loss as far as I'm concerned but they may have the inverse feeling right back at me. And I'd be ok with that. I'm done. You may have the last word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name you top 5 rap: guitarists,bassists,drummers,keyboardists! Or your top 5: drum machines! sampling software! KB (trying to make it easy!) Answer the fooking question! alright, i'll give this a try....: rap guitar: tom morello (RATM) danny lilker (antrax) kirk douglas (capt. kirk-the roots) adam horovitz (beastie boys) i am, of course, ignoring the preferred method of playing guitar to hip hop: the sample. the list would include a who's who of great rock, blues, funk, jazz, and acoustic guitar players. we can go that way if you like. bass: mike elizondo (dr. dre)la marquis jefferson (outkast),leon 'Hub' hubbard (Roots), flea (RHCP) drummers: ?uestlove (roots), trevor lawrence, jr. (snoop, dre) i feel this category should include all percussion, including beatboxing, which then would roll in wise (stetasonic) doug e. fresh, biz markie, ready rock c and emanon. great hip hop is not crap, in my lowly opinion. there are tons of genres that you could call rap, going all the way back to field hollers and prison blues from mississippi. and, of course, without that music, there would be no zeppelin. as for the genre today, i don't buy any, and when i play rap, it's usually some de la soul, tribe, roots or beasties. i have been known to blaze an entire afternoon with public enemy, however. i have met chuck d. and a more socially conscious and articulate musician you will not find. as for the "A" word....well, then it comes down to building a body of work and the writing, doesn't it? and while it is true that a lack of melody and a dependence on beats and grooves pushes this from those forms that require notes on paper to pass (as in c minor), i don't think that arguing about copying direct lifts from previously recorded works (samples) will get you anywhere...especially considering there are entire websites devoted to the who's who of rock and roll and where they "stole" their greatest tunes.... the writing emphasis would be lyrical when it comes to hip hop and the cream of the crop is as good as it gets. all the best rhymes well and means something too, right? and just as there is pop and drivel on the top of the pops in 1965, 1975 and now, there is also a thick layer of the meaningless and inconsequential when it comes to rap. really, only time will tell. a poetry teacher once told me that elizabeth barrett browning was "insufferable, with all the rhyming, i can't stand her" yet we were discussing her in class over 100 years later. there ya go....

[CHORUS] [2x] You won't see the face 'til the eyelids drop You won't hear the screaming until it stops The boy's parents were gone and his grandmother had raised him She was mad she had no form of retaliation The pack didn't have to worry about being on a hitlist But the thing they never thought about was that there was a witness to this senseless crime, right place wrong time Tried as an adult one of them was gonna do hard time The first day of prison was always the hardest The first day of prison, the hallways the darkest Like a gauntlet the voices haunted Faggot, sissy, punk, queen, queer Words he used before had a new meaning in here As a group of men in front of him came near for the first time in his life the young bully felt fear He'd never been on this side of the name calling Five against one they had his back up against the wall and he had never questioned his own sexuality but this group of men didn't hesitate in their reality with an awful, powerful, showerful, an hour full of violence Inflict the strictest brutality and dominance They didn't hear him screaming They didn't hear him pleading They took what they wanted and then left him bleeding in the corner The giant reduced to jack horner But dehumanizing the victim makes things simpler It's like breathing with a respirator It eases the conscience of even the most conscious and calculating violator The power of words, don't take it for granted when you hear a man ranting Don't just read the lips, be more sublime than this Put everything in context, is this a tale of rough justice in a land where there's no justice at all ? Who is really the victim ? Or are we all the cause, and victim of it all ?

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin what he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out He's choking now, everybody's joking now The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah! Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked He's so mad, but he won't give up that Easy, no He won't have it , he knows his whole back's to these ropes It don't matter, he's dope He knows that, but he's broke He's so stagnant that he knows When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's Back to the lab again yo This this whole rhapsody He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him [Hook:] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment You own it, you better never let it go You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo The soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping This world is mine for the taking Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to post mortem It only grows harder, only grows hotter He blows us all over these hoes is all on him Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter Lonely roads, God only knows He's grown farther from home, he's no father He goes home and barely knows his own daughter But hold your nose cause here goes the cold water His hoes don't want him no mo, he's cold product They moved on to the next schmoe who flows He nose dove and sold nada So the soap opera is told and unfolds I suppose it's old partner', but the beat goes on Da da dum da dum da da [Hook] No more games, I'ma change what you call rage Tear this motherf'ng roof off like 2 dogs caged I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage But I kept rhyming and stepwritin the next cypher Best believe somebody's paying the pied piper All the pain inside amplified by the fact That I can't get by with my 9 to 5 And I can't provide the right type of life for my family Cause man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder Trying to feed and water my seed, plus Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a prima donna Baby mama drama's screaming on and Too much for me to wanna Stay in one spot, another day of monotony Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail or shot Success is my only motherf'ng option, failure's not Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go I cannot grow old in Salem's lot So here I go is my shot.

Regards, Danny Hey Danny I have heard some of his songs, but I don't seek them out (although my son listens to him a bit). Rap isn't my thing, but I can appreciate where he's coming from, even if I don't relate to it. My daughters listen to a fair amount of hip hop but not rap. I identify much more with, say, Martina McBride or Lonestar than anyone even though I'm not a huge country music fan.
