  • Sadly, the musicians in hip hop are usually overlooked for their talent, even to the extent that they are termed "producer", while the MC is usually the one referred to as the "artist". This is frustrating as hell.

    Guys like Premier, Pete Rock, etc. are real visionaries, creating razor-sharp, percolating grooves from little more than scraps of musical flotsam.

    Nah, lots of awesome rap/hip hop still being made, but of cause if you only listen to the mainstream stuff i understand your argument.

    I couldn't agree more. Underground Rap/Hip Hop is free of the corporate controlled, filtered, meaningless lyrical content so prevalent in mainstream music.

    I think they all heard this, but I am not sure
    It's hard to tell who came up first with this weird groove
    Funky drummer and amen have been sampled to death in 80s hip hop already


    Lol I just found the original, lol
    There are so many versions of this lol

    This is the "mtv version"

    I used to play that track at parties, think the sample made it, as the beat was pretty standard, was really into the rave scene, for me a very magical time when all the boundaries got dropped for a few years and people could just be themselves and not worry about the mundane affiliations. Think the point I was making which you also make is it is hard to tell where the origins are, as there is so much borrowing, cross pollination, people making stuff their own and outright passing off of other people's flow.

    Reducing culture to colour, sex or religion etc, is a fools errand, as good ideas travel a lot faster than people, especially if you think jung had a point, which I do after dabbling in mind altering substances. One of the reasons I'm hopeful for the future, even though the tards are at the wheel and heading towards the cliff, is I experienced what happens when peoples conditioning is no longer an issue and what I saw was very beautiful and universal.

    I prefer Grebo to rap. Rap wasn't stuck in a mold during the '80s. PWEI did their own thing with it.

    @all the larger elephant in this room is race, but historically/sociologically we are probably not ready to see (or have) that conversation clearly, in this room or most others. Reminds me of Zhou Enlai's famous response on being asked his view of the French Revolution: Too soon to tell.

    I would like to table a motion for us to reconvene in three hundred years and revisit this discussion. Open bar for all who can attend.

    how does race matter now?
    you can't even tell if I am male or female or black or white or yellow or str8 or queer
    looks to me like right now we are just humans infront of a display

    I don't understand what you are trying to say.
    its the language barrier again
    ah, i c

  • I'd chalk it up to ignorance before I floated outright racism into the scenario.

    Hip Hop doesn't "speak" to folks in the same way Langston Hughes or Ralph Ellison doesn't speak to them. Meaning, such writing openly addresses the issues that face the African-American community, and how those issues shape their lives. And certain people are not interested in that reality. It's a form of willful ignorance, because hip-hop is VERY confessional; in a way that is usually only found in literature, and almost never found in other genres of music. So I'd agree that likely the same people that don't want to hear hip-hop are the same types that don't want interact w/ black urbanites under any conditions.

    Anyone who's ever told me "rap sucks" has, invariably, gotten around to making racist remarks at another juncture. It never fails.

    But that's their privilege.

    Yes, it's true.

    Really ? I hadn't noticed , thought it was all pretty calm and the criticisms of the genre based on personal taste of the musical content itself , rather than the race of those making it :((

  • Problem is, the content varies widely. So generalizations are stereotypes.

    That won't work. I love Grace Jones & Pet Shop Boys.

    It's when you disparage an entire genre that eyebrows go up.

  • lol :)
    but u get my point ...

  • But again, anyone who takes my observations personally would do better to spend even one second looking at themselves, than to dismissing the assertion outright.

  • @lala said:

    Not really, because if you played it, as you say, "till the cows came home", and I couldn't find something to like, you'd probably be right to call me that. Clearly, the unifying characteristic of all those songs would be the "gay" part.

  • To be honest there are many good tunes in every single genre. It's just a matter of personal taste :)

    Here's the track that that first one was stolen from. At least hip-hop tries to mix it up a little bit!

    I'll offer these two as an olive branch, because I think it can change your mind. Then I'm out.
