ZeppFanForever Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 How's it going fellow die hard hard core ZEPPELIN fanatics? I used to be one of those people that hated Disco in the 1970's. However, when Rap came out in the early 1980's I hated it even more than Disco. Now I wished that Disco stayed rather than having to listen to Rap or Hip Hop as it is known today. Now I ask all of you, if you had to choose between Rap or Disco, which one would you choose? ROCK ON! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheZeppyWanderer Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I was, as were many teenagers in the 70s, quite partial to disco/funk. And I am glad that Zeppelin, great masters of all styles, used it's influence on their contemporary album, Presence. I have nothing much in common with rap at all. I consider myself far too much of a music lover to spend any amount of time with it - and the 'culture' that seems to surround it (shootings, stabbings, gangstas, bitches and hos) should have no place in a civilised society, IMO.

danelectro59 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 that's like having to choose between having a tooth pulled with out novacaine or getting kicked in the nuts. So for me, neither one. Both suck btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Zeppy, You old 70s teenager, you. Do you remember the two tone denim flares? I could not stand disco-funk-soul-motown or that ilk so sorry mate no, but i do think that in reality Rap has nothing to do with Music but everything to do with Poetry. Music is all about instruments, which i could listen to all day, whereas Poetry-Rap-Lyrics is about words and any old idiot can string along a bunch of words together cant they? As for your comment about Rap being about,shootings, stabbings, gangstas, bitches and hos, having no place in a civilised society, just remember that the people who wright the stuff, "Niggas" (in their own words not mine) do not live or want us to live in a civilised socity, do they?

Pb Derigable Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Rap is good when there is thought behide it. I like Kanye, Twista and alot of the old shit like N.W.A. Most of these rapper today are a bunch of retards. I have a nice subwoofer system in my whip and I like the groove some of the songs have.

Stargroves Tangie Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I grew up in the late 70s when Disco was really big, and I absolutely hated it! I even had a button that said "Disco Sucks" on my pocketbook. However, now that I am, uh, older, some of those songs really aren't too bad at all, so i would definitely take Disco over Rap anyday. (psst- don't tell anyone, but I have "JiveTalkin", "Play That Funky Music" & "That's The Way I Like It" on my mp3 player ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeepBlackZeppelin Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) Some disco songs are absolutely terrible and some of them are just so cheery and fun to dance to I don't really listen to rap, I do like some rap songs though. My absolute favorite of disco is Keep it Comin Love Keep it Comin Love as featured in Blow Edited September 30, 2008 by DeepBlackZeppelin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco is less music than the rap I listen to.
